READING E-BOOKS BEFORE BEDTIME MAY DISRUPT BODY CLOCK
by Ragaavendra R 24 Dec '14

24 Dec '14

READING E-BOOKS BEFORE BEDTIME MAY DISRUPT BODY CLOCK Use of a light-emitting electronic device such as e-books in the hours before bedtime can adversely impact sleep, overall health, alertness and the circadian clock, a new study has found. Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) compared the biological effects of reading a light-emitting electronic device (LE-eBook) compared to a printed book. "We found the body's natural circadian rhythms were interrupted by the short-wavelength enriched light, otherwise known as blue light, from these electronic devices," said Anne-Marie Chang, corresponding author, and associate neuroscientist in BWH's Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders. "Participants reading an LE-eBook took longer to fall asleep and had reduced evening sleepiness, reduced melatonin secretion, later timing of their circadian clock and reduced next-morning alertness than when reading a printed book," Chang said. Previous research has shown that blue light suppresses melatonin, impacts the circadian clock and increases alertness, but little was known about the effects of this popular technology on sleep. The use of light emitting devices immediately before bedtime is a concern because of the extremely powerful effect that light has on the body's natural sleep/wake pattern, and may thereby play a role in perpetuating sleep deficiency. During the two-week inpatient study, twelve participants read LE-e-Books on an iPad for four hours before bedtime each night for five consecutive nights. This was repeated with printed books. The order was randomised with some reading the iPad first and others reading the printed book first. Participants reading on the iPad took longer to fall asleep, were less sleepy in the evening, and spent less time in REM sleep. The iPad readers had reduced secretion of melatonin, a hormone which normally rises in the evening and plays a role in inducing sleepiness. Additionally, iPad readers had a delayed circadian rhythm, indicated by melatonin levels, of more than an hour. Participants who read from the iPad were less sleepy before bedtime, but sleepier and less alert the following morning after eight hours of sleep. ers, laptops, cell phones, LED monitors, and other electronic devices, all emitting blue light. The study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Dear LIS Professionals, I am coming out with a very comprehensive book of SV, Loss of Books and Weeding out policies and procedures in Indian Libraries. It would also be rather a comparative study. I have also collected about 20 documents relating to the above subjects which includes Government orders (State and Central) Recommendations (Associations) and Orders issued by Government departments and so on. In order to make is more realistic and to impress upon the authorities that be, to evolve some policies and procedures especially on Weeding Out (that doesn't exist so far as I know) and also some concrete proposals on other related subjects. I have small number of questions enumerated below. Pl. spare few minutes time to answer them as a feedback to the queries. 1. Do you undertake SV in your library and how frequently? Who is assigned the work. Librarian or the Institution Staff? 2. Do you have Writing off policy. If not how the loss is reckoned. Is library staff held responsible? 3. Do you know the GOI Order (Amendment to Central Finance Code) of 1984. If yes did the same in incorporated in the State and/or Central Finance Rules 4. Do you undertake Weeding of collection? If yes do you have any policy or procedure in this regard.5. If you have weeded in the last 5 years what is the strength and what is procedure to dispose the weeded books or other documents. 6. Do you possess any order or a document recommending or criterion on writing off loss of books (Permissible loss) from your institution's library. 7. Any other information that would like to share and confidence will be maintained in this context. Thanks in anticipation and hope I get a quick reply to my simple queries.

Library Automation in Public Libraries: Need & Importance
by DP Tripathi 14 Dec '14

14 Dec '14

Library Automation in Public Libraries: Need and Importance Public Library is a kind of library which is accessed by general public, funded by public sources and managed by library professionals. Basically public library is supported by taxes, governed by a body or board to serve the public interest, open to all. This kind of library is found throughout the world and is different from school libraries, college or university libraries. This kind of library allows its users to access and use of books, journals, magazines, maps and atlases, reference books etc. under the duty of social obligations. Public Library has different kind of users' category such as Children, Students, House Wives, Senior Citizens, Managers, Doctors, and Lawyers etc. These libraries also provide the same services being provided by any academic or special library. Thus, it becomes necessary to automate this kind of library also. Library Automation is the process which replace the manual work in mechanical way so as to make the work easy and fast. By library automation, the housekeeping operation can be mechanized easily and the bibliographic record can also be utilized by another library. Library automation not only brings the speed & accuracy but also economy and help in providing quick and prompt library services. In general, the importance of library automation will be as: a) Better access to the collection b) Resource sharing with other libraries c) Consistency in the collection d) Help in federated searching e) Removal from clerical and duplicacy work/job f) Accuracy in report generation Thanks, -- ********************* D.

People's Archive of Rural India
by Subbiah Arunachalam 14 Dec '14

14 Dec '14

Friend's: Today's The Hindu (Chennai Edition, Magazine section, p.2; 14 Dec 2014) carries an article on an excellent initiative - a multimedia archive on Rural India. To be launched on 20 December 2014, this archive "uses cutting edge technology and new forms of storytelling to document and reflect the energies of rural Indians." The archive is fully open access (CC 4.0). The PARI network, founded by Mr P Sainath, began its work of digitization in 2011. They hope to continue the work with crowd sourcing. I did not know about this project till I read about it today. But my impression is it deserves support. Please keep visiting < http://www.ruralindiaonline.org/>. Most members of LIS-Forum are familiar with the use of the Internet, the web and the archiving technology through IRs, PubMed Central, arXiv, the many databases of astronomy and biology, etc. The PARI archive is about (rural) people, their lives and their engagement with the external world. Dame Wendy Hall and her colleagues in the emerging field of Web Science will be very pleased with it. Best wishes.

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research & Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore-560 059 Seminar- 7 2014 Information Architecture and Libraries ABSTRACT In this digital era Information Architecture is becoming an emerging topic in the LIS field which enables libraries to be more attractive. It is concerned with the organisation, structuring and labelling of information with respect to users' perspective and not from technical perspective. A number of library websites, specially academic libraries have been designed with this concept although website designing is coming under this concept whether we strictly follow the procedures or not. This paper reflects the basic concepts and process of Information Architecture, jobs of information architects and its implication in libraries. An ongoing project done by Duke University Libraries is included that will give a clear idea about the implementation of IA in libraries. Speaker: Dibakar Sen Date: 15th December, 2014 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC, ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited Seminar Coordinator Biswanath Dutta -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

New version of liblivecd-1.5 (DSpace/Koha/Drupal)
by Sunita Barve 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Dear all, We are happy to inform about the new release of LibLiveDVD version 1.5. LibliveDVD is made available now for 32bit and 64bit machines. Both these versions can be downloaded from following link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/liblivecd/files/Version-1.5/ The current version of LibLiveDVD contains lubuntu 14.04.01 LTS, Dspace-4.2, Koha-3.18 & Drupal 7.34. All these three software are pre-configured and pre-installed. Along with DSpace, Koha & Drupal, DVD also contains following server related software preinstalled such as:- Apache2 Web Server, Openssh, ftp Server, MySQL Server, PostGreSQL Server, Courier/Exim4 Mail Server, SquirrelMail Web Mail Client, Teamviewer and Minimum desktop environment. Drupal Content Management Open Source Software is added considering the requirements from libraries to create their library websites with dynamic look plus managing variety of content types. Koha is installed through lubuntu packages which will allow users to upgrade Koha with just two commands such as "apt-get update" & "apt-get upgrade koha-common". After installing libliveDVD login to root and upgrade your koha before using it on production machine. The web installation part of Koha and Drupal is as well preconfigured in the DVD. Koha can directly be run by logging with user 'koha_library' with password 'library'. Drupal can be run by logging with user 'drupal' with password 'library'. There is no need to run any web installation part for Koha and Drupal now. To input multilingual data in DSpace/Koha, IBUS input method is also installed on the DVD. Teamviewer 10 is preinstalled to share desktop, Abiword for editing/reading word documents, gnumeric for using spreadsheets, vim/gedit for text editing and epdfview for reading PDF files, ssh for remote login. Libreoffice and multimedia related software are excluded from the DVD and these can easily be installed by running "System Tools-Synaptic Package Manager". If the synaptic “reload” does not work try changing repositories links to http://archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu instead of http://in.archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and then search and install any other required software. lUbuntu operating system (Lightweight Operating System) is chosen considering requirements from libraries where libraries have low configuration desktops in their libraries but still wish to initiate their library web sites, initiate library automation, as well as wish to create digital libraries. With old desktops try to install 32bit version of DVD. For newer configurations of machines install 64bit version of the DVD. Please follow proper installation steps to install LibLiveDVD if you wish to have dual boot i.e. windows as well as linux installation on your machines. We would greatly appreciate your valuable feedback.

Sad Demise of Sri. D.N. Nagaraja Rao
by Vasanth 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Dear Sir/Madam, It was sad that Sri. D.N. Nagaraja Rao is no more. I did hear this sad news while attending the two day national conference on "Social Media and Libraries" held at the SBRR Mahajana College, Mysore. He was so passionate about library profession. He used to attend all the conferences and seminars held in and around Mysore. He was regular attendee of all the programs that MyLISA was part of. Often in the intervals at scholarly meetings he used to share his views and express his childlike inquisitiveness like "Super" if he come across good works. He used to ask young professionals about new technological developments and their applications in libraries. He was serving Ramakrishana Mission library after his retirement to just to serve the society and keep himself active in the profession. I was fortunate that I had some occasions to meet him and talk with him. May his soul rest in peace. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.Mysore -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

From: "Ashok Asundi" <ashok_asundi(a)yahoo.com> Date: Fri, December 5, 2014 6:40 am Dear Shegon, I am delighted to get the Ignite on my mail box and it was exciting to read many clips and interviews. I am very happy to see the Interview excerpts of Dr. Goudar who has a feather in his cap with the rejuvenating the UML and I am sure he would repeat his performance again. I have enjoyed reading the entire Newsletter in one go and would be eager to see its next edition. I regret to have missed T and F meet on 21st Nov. as I had prior commitment at Karnatak Univeristy, Academic Staff College, Dharwad. With warm regards, Prof. A.Y.Asundi Prof. A.Y.Asundi Professor and Chairman,(Ret) Dept.

It's your belief and collaboration with us that keeps IGNITE<http://tandf.msgfocus.com/c/14qaeqNNcFXvJQRUQnUDnpGwjx> alive and successful. This quarterly bulletin aims to bring you news on Journals and Online Resources from Taylor & Francis and around the world. http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/explore/ignite-issue4-oct-dec-2014.pdf 2014 has been a year dominated by many new developments for the publishing industry in India. While universities across the country have been grappling with the concept of open access and the feasibility of turning a traditional model on its head while still remaining lucrative, publishers have enabled smaller, bite-sized content for use outside the context of articles and journals, leveraging supporting data, graphs, tables and charts to their advantage as separate entities in their own right. The mobile and smartphone technology became a rage providing knowledge on the move at universities, libraries and institutions. The most significant publishing trend has been the widespread acceptance of reading devices, which has further accelerated the growth of e-Books. In this issue, we bring to you a chit-chat with Dr. Ishwar Goudar, the man responsible for turning around the Mysore University Library into a library of the future with one of the highest usage statistical growths ever recorded. There is news on new acquisitions and research from across the globe and viewpoints on social media and poetry shared with us by library professionals. There are wins, congratulations and celebrations. Since we are hosting our annual roadshow in Bangalore in November, we have picked 11 cafes in Bangalore for librarians to visit and explore. Find out who is the winner of our Librarians' Day special slogan writing competition and what the fantastic work the MyLISA group is doing with children of mahouts. This issue also showcases some straightforward lessons on leadership from our Taylor & Francis MD, Nitasha Devasar as she reminisces about the unexpected twists in the journey of learning for all. Enjoy IGNITE with a cup of steaming hot coffee and we will wait for you to tell us what you think! Best wishes, Happy reading!
