Actionable Social information to the palm of your hand

How technology is helping the visually-impaired access libraries at Delhi University Source: Dnaindia on 2015-01-02 07:13:18 Recently, Delhi University installed a special technology to help visually-impaired students. Please tell us something about it One of the biggest challenges faced by the visually-impaired, both students and teachers alike, is print access. They find it very difficult to access libraries. This recent technology, which is part of the “Inclusive Print Access Project’, can be used to scan library books and convert the text to speech. Thus visually-impaired students can access any book in the library without human help. How does this technology work? A camera scanner which is mounted on a stand is attached to a computer equipped with headphones. All the student has to do is place the book (only English language) under the scanner and keep turning the pages while the computer translates the text into speech. There are also options like dictionary, bookmarking etc. available to help students. A 200 page book takes approximately half an hour to be scanned, after which the students can share the audio file with others. Tell us something about your work in the past Our organisation filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against the Punjab National Bank in 1999 against the denial of promotions to all visually-impaired employees from stenographers to officers. As a result, a number of such employees can now become officers in banks across the country. We also filed PILs against Indian Railways, Reserve Bank of India and other corporations for non-observance of the reservation scheme mandated under the Persons With Disabilities Act. How would you describe the current scenario for disabled persons? We have definitely moved ahead as compared to where we were. When I was studying, there was no facility to access study material; I was also turned down by a principal for a teaching job because of my disability. Now the situation is much better as different academic and professional organisations give special focus to inclusion. However, a lot of work still needs to be done because when you talk of equality and inclusion, even 99% is not enough. It has to be 100%. So where are we lagging behind? As with most other issues in our country, we have laws, legislations, policies etc. in place but the implementation is lacking. Also the attitude of looking at disability as a negative factor in a person needs to change in order to promote inclusiveness and independence. Nowadays, nothing much can be done without technology, and the lack of it in rural areas is a major impediment towards inclusion of disabled people in the mainstream. http://www.myspark.info/news-read/how-technology-is-helping-the-visually-im… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Central Library Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Cordially invites you to the 23rd Library Lecture Series and Outreach Programme Topic: "Libraries and Development: On the Agenda" Speaker Ms. Lynne M. Rudasill Associate Professor, Global Studies Librarian , University Library University of Illnios, at Urbana-Champaign rudasill(a)illinois.edu Chairperson: Dr. R K Sharma, Librarian, UN Information Centre for India and Bhutan Date: Monday, 12th January 2015 at 3.00 pm Venue : Committee Room, Central Library, JNU About the talk : International library organizations are most well-known for the venues in which they hold their conferences, but there is much more going on behind the scenes. Several of these associations, frequently considered non-governmental or civil society organizations, work to create change in the way that information is accessed, disseminated, and used throughout the world. With a focus on the development framework that will soon replace the Millennium Development Goals promulgated by the United Nations, I will explore and describe less visible activities, their success or lack of success, and what we might need to do to keep libraries and information science relevant in our information rich world. I will pay particular attention to the work of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and its efforts to get libraries on the development agenda. About the Speaker : Lynne Rudasill, Associate Professor, University Library, is the Global Studies Librarian at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She also oversees the development of resources and collections in political science, U.N. serial publications, and the European Union Studies Center in her association with the International and Area Studies Library there. Her research is focused on the dynamics of scholarly communication including grey or fugitive literature and the impact and future of open access publications. She has taught courses in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois on social science research and resources as well as teaching in the undergraduate Department of Global Studies. As Chair of the Professional Committee of the IFLA Governing Board she has a deep understanding of the impact of that organization on information policies and sustainable development.. ************************************ Dr. Ramesh C Gaur PGDCA, MLISc,Ph.D. Fulbright Scholar (Virginia Tech, USA) University Librarian Jawaharlal Nehru University(JNU) New Meharuli Road, New Delhi - 110067 Tele +91-11-26742605, 26704551 Fax : +91-11-26741603 Email: rcgaur(a)mail.jnu.ac.in ;rcgaur66(a)gmail.com URL: www.jnu.ac.in Brief Profile: http://www.jnu.ac.in/Library/RameshCGaur.htm -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: The Intransigenc of STM Publisher
by Siva Shankar Kimidi 01 Jan '15

01 Jan '15

Dear Moderator: I wish all LIS professional friends "A Happy and Proseperous NEW YEAR" Kindly post this: Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: The Intransigenc of STM Publisher A few commercial publishers dominate provision of access to scientific and technical information sought after by researchers around the world. Increasing subscription prices of journals at rates higher than general inflation caused librarians to think of forming consortia, but publishers started selling online journals as bundles, and libraries ended up with many journals their researchers have very little use for. Scientists and librarians adopted open access, but publishers came up with hybrid journals and article processing charges to beat any adverse effect on their profits caused by the fast-spreading open access movement. We compare the steps taken by scientists and librarians in the West to reclaim ease of access to research findings with what is happening in India. We end with a few suggestions. full text article - http://insa.nic.in/writereaddata/UpLoadedFiles/PINSA/Vol80_2014_5_Art03.pdf Regards Siva IIT HLibrary 99080 35478 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

In all, about 100 colleges with at least three colleges in each district will be selected for the programme. It will be extended to all colleges in the State depending on the response. At present, the department is in the process of collecting and recording lectures on a number of subjects recommended by a group of experts. The department already has a bank of as many as 600 lectures and more are being downloaded and recorded. The topics of these lectures range across subjects such as commerce, management, history, economics, physics, chemistry, mathematics, botany, environment science, spoken English and fundamentals of computers to name a few, said Govinde Setty, a nodal officer from DCE, supervising the project. Officials claim that virtual classes will go a long way in helping students especially in times when there is a shortage of faculty or for self study. Not so expensive Information officer of DCE, N Ramesh Reddy said, "Funds required for the project in each college is very less. The content is freely available online from where we have downloaded them, while others are being recorded. This will be uploaded on a computer from where they can be transfered to a pen drive. Besides, we will also try to make them available on smart phones through WiFi. Each college requires around Rs 25,000 for the project," he said. Sandhya M, a final year student from Maharani Arts, Commerce and Management College said the concept of virtual learning would be an additional tool that will greatly help in her studies. Pilot Plan Maharani Arts, Commerce and Management College; Maharani Science College for Women; Government Arts College (all situated around KR Circle); RC College of Commerce and Management, Basaveshwara Circle; government first grade colleges in Vijayanagara, KR Puram and Yelahanka are the seven colleges selected for the pilot plan, Setty said.

The OA policy of the Gates Foundation
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Friends: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has announced its open access policy which will require all fundees to make their papers open access IMMEDIATELY on publication without any embargo. Also fundees are expected to deposit their papers in a specified repository. Please see: http://www.gatesfoundation.org/How-We-Work/General-Information/Open-Access-… http://www.scidev.net/global/publishing/news/gates-open-access-policy.html Arun BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION OPEN ACCESS POLICY The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is committed to information sharing and transparency. We believe that published research resulting from our funding should be promptly and broadly disseminated. We have adopted an Open Access policy that enables the unrestricted access and reuse of all peer-reviewed published research funded, in whole or in part, by the foundation, including any underlying data sets. As of January 1, 2015 our Open Access policy will be effective for all new agreements. During a two-year transition period, publishers will be permitted to apply up to a 12 month embargo period on the accessibility of the publication and its underlying data sets. This embargo period will no longer be allowed after January 1, 2017. Our Open Access policy contains the following elements: 1. *Publications Are Discoverable and Accessible Online.* Publications will be deposited in a specified repository(s) with proper tagging of metadata. 2. *Publication Will Be On “Open Access” Terms.* All publications shall be published under theCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 Generic License <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/> (CC BY 4.0) or an equivalent license. This will permit all users of the publication to copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format and transform and build upon the material, including for any purpose (including commercial) without further permission or fees being required. 3. *Foundation Will Pay Necessary Fees.* The foundation would pay reasonable fees required by a publisher to effect publication on these terms. 4. *Publications Will Be Accessible and Open Immediately.* All publications shall be available immediately upon their publication, without any embargo period. An embargo period is the period during which the publisher will require a subscription or the payment of a fee to gain access to the publication. We are, however, providing a transition period of up to two years from the effective date of the policy (or until January 1, 2017). During the transition period, the foundation will allow publications in journals that provide up to a 12-month embargo period. 5. *Data Underlying Published Research Results Will Be Accessible and Open Immediately.* The foundation will require that data underlying the published research results be immediately accessible and open. This too is subject to the transition period and a 12-month embargo may be applied . -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Science reports India's OA policy
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Friends: Earlier this week, we saw the news story on the DST-DBT mandatory OA policy that appeared in Nature. Now Science has also carried the news. Please see < http://news.sciencemag.org/asiapacific/2014/12/india-s-major-science-funder… >. The important question now is: When will other funding agencies in India come up with a similar (or even better) mandatory OA policy? Please write to UGC, DRDO, DAE, Dept of Space, ICMR, and other agencies investing taxpayers' money on R&D and request them to adopt an OA policy as soon as possible. CSIR-URDIP, Pune, has already set up Science Central, a central repository that would harvest papers deposited in institutional repositories of all institutions under DST and DBT. Science Central is similar to CSIR Central which harvests all repositories of CSIR labs. We are indebted to URDIP for this service.

One Million Preprints and Counting
by Subbiah Arunachalam 30 Dec '14

Friends: Hear from the horse's mouth about what motivated Paul Ginsparg to set up arXiv, the preprint server to make research papers in physics open as they were, so to say, born, and how arXiv grew to expand to math, computer science and even biology < http://www.the-scientist.com//?articles.view/articleNo/41677/title/Q-A--One… >. arXiv, the preprint server was born before the Internet and today it boasts more than a million preprints.

OA to culture

Friends: Although this is a forum for ALL of library and information science, I guess most members are academic librarians interested in STEM and teachers of LIS; public librarians constitute a very small percent of the members. But thankfully special libraries do provide access to what we expect from public libraries. I have enjoyed the benefits of such catholicity of interest of special libraries for a long time. I wish to draw your attention to some great art made openly available. < http://www.openculture.com/2014/12/the-tate-digitizes-70000-works-of-art.ht… >.

Sad demise of three Professional veterans
by Ashok Asundi 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

Dear All LIS Professionals It is painful to inform you that in the last few days we have lost two well known professional veterans. They are Sri D.N.Nagaraja Rao, Sri T.V. Venkataramanaiah and Dr. Velaga Venkatappaiah. Sri Nagaraja rao served at Mysore in NIE and Ramakrishna School and has been doing free consultancy to many young professionals. Despite his age and unable to walk steadily, he seldom missed any LIS conference and would cherish the proceedings. Has always loved the profession and has also excelled in CDS/ISIS Micro version and has build databases on some rare items. I had an opportunity visit his house at Mysore and saw a good personal library. He was 82 years old. Sri Venkataramanaiah, Ret. (VRS) Dy. Librarian, Bangalore University, Bangalore was a close associate of Sri B.S. Keshavan. Sri Venkatamanaiah worked in National Library of India and was associated with the National Bibliography of Indian Literature compiled under the able editorial leadership of Sri Keshavan. A scholar in Kannada Literature, served the University ardently and built a collection of Kannada Works in Bangalore University known as "Karnatakana" which provided scholars all material under one roof. He has many compilations to his credit. Brought out many bibliographic tools and India Book House assigned work to compile a bibliography of their publications. Sri Venkatamanaiah has compiled works on Idioms on more than two hundred subjects. For example idioms on Bhatki, Jnana, Marriage and so on. I used to get his works on gratis and I have about 100 of them with me. It is treasure house of kannada works and for this tremendous work he was given a commemoration as "SUKTI RATNAKAR". We have lost a great librarian cum kannada scholar. He had a great personal respect, he took VRS because he was abused by a Student at Bangalore University during his service, and the authorities that be then did not make efforts to retain him and let him go. He was 82 years old. Recently I got a message from Dr. Karisiddappa that Dr. Velega Vekatappaiah has passed away. Dr. Velaga an expert in Public Lbrary system and has authored many books in Telagu to popularise the LIS through regional language. Dr Venkatappaiah has also revised in 1994 the model public library Act, first brought out by DR.SRR. He was also closely associated with Prof. PN Kaula and has been looking after his Endowments very well. He was 82 it is very sad hear the demise of these three veterans with whom I had a very close contact and relations and I knew them very well personally. I pray Almighty on behalf all professional fraternity, to their souls to RIP. With profound regards to the departed souls.

Re: [LIS-Forum] EPW publishes the research paper of a Librarian
by Puna Das 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

Dear Dr. Bhattacharyya, Greetings! With the rapid advancement of open access to knowledge due to a strong global open access movement, things are changing very fast. Patnaik (author of this paper) is probably aware of recent developments with respect to rights retention by the authors through the “SPARC Author Addendum to Publication Agreement” (available at www.sparc.arl.org/sites/default/files/Access-Reuse_Addendum.pdf ). This instrument is nowadays used widely across the world to grant license-to-publish (LTP) to the publishers, and retaining copyrights by the authors or their funding/ affiliating institutions. Authors are now empowered to deny any copyright transfer to commercial publishers, rather insist on signing an LTP with the publishers. “DBT and DST Open Access Policy: Policy on Open Access to DBT and DST Funded Research”, approved and finalized in December 2014, is also supportive to the cause of retention of copyrights by the authors. UNESCO just launches an Open Access Curricula for researchers and librarians (available at http://bit.ly/1xb0Pti) This licensing aspect is discussed in great details in a module of this open access curricula. Interested researchers can take a note of this. Patnaik may offer an updated scenario after examining the “SPARC Author Addendum to Publication Agreement”, “DBT and DST Open Access Policy” and “UNESCO Open Access Curricula for Researchers and Librarians”. Her findings will be completely different than what is presented in this paper.

UNESCO launches Open Access Curricula for Researchers, Librarians and Library Science Schools
by Puna Das 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

UNESCO launches Open Access Curricula for Researchers, Librarians and Library Science Schools 19.12.2014 - Communication & Information Sector Within the overall framework of UNESCO Strategy on Open Access to scientific information and research and to take forward UNESCO’s leadership role in diffusing knowledge amongst its Member States, UNESCO has developed a set of manuals to facilitate capacity building of library and information professionals and researchers. The development of the modules has been undertaken very carefully and the development process covered diverse opinion in the subject area, and in consultation with more than 50 experts to include diversity and expertise from the developing south. The OA curricula developed by UNESCO includes a set of customized modules which can be easily be fitted with the educational needs of different OA stakeholders and can be integrated with any sensitization programmes of OA. The curricula for Library and Information Science Professionals entitled "Open Access for Library Schools", consists of four course modules. An Introductory Module aims at sensitizing the library community about the history, evolution, forms and impact of OA within the domain of scholarly communication environment and covers issues related to rights management, IPR and advocacy. The remaining three modules cover subject areas of OA Infrastructure, Resource Optimization and Interoperability and Retrieval. These sections give insights into the features, types, maintenance and standardization of OA resources, information retrieval/storage software and highlight the role of the new dimension of web-enabled resources such as e-journals, e-repositories and ICTSs. The curricula for researchers entitled "Open Access for Researchers" addresses OA issues within the community of research scholars. The modules cover the subject areas of Scholarly Communications, Concepts of Openness and Open Access, Intellectual Property Rights and Research Evaluation Metrics. The first four modules have been developed to nurture researchers with an elaborate understanding of the genesis, objectives, processes, types and existing limitations of OA scholarly communication, which include insights into the issues related to IPR, the methods and limitations of the process of peer reviewing and the concepts and roles of E-journals, databases, ICTs, OSS and other OERs. The final and fifth Module entitled "Sharing your Work in Open Access" provides a step-wise guideline for researchers about the process and options available for publishing their research work. These curricula were developed after undertaking two detailed capacity building need assessment studies of librarians and researchers on Open Access. A multi-stakeholder expert meeting was organized in New Delhi, where 23 experts participated to finalize the curriculum. Two online consultations were also held to substantiate the expert meeting, which helped UNESCO to outline the content for each of the curriculum and provided a framework to develop modules. The curricula were developed with the help of Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA), New Delhi of the Commonwealth of Learning (COL). The curricula will soon be available for download. Currently, copies can be requested by writing to UNESCO’s OA programme.

It seeks to arrive at a broad understanding of challenges and opportunities of how public libraries in India are and can contribute in overall development of communities with value added services, and collaboratively build a shared vision for the future as community oriented knowledge and resource centres of the 21st century.

For generations, the local libraries have acted as a vehicle for access to knowledge, ideas and information and as democratic services open and available to anyone. The public library is not only a trusted and recognised feature of the local area; it is also a remarkable national asset and network.
