Libraries are not just for reading books (2)
by Subbiah Arunachalam 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Friends: Now one can not only borrow e-books from the local public library but also a device to read them (like an iPad or Kindle). See this news story from Texas, USA. < http://www.wacotrib.com/news/education/hewitt-library-offering-tablets-e-re… > One of the purposes of a public library is to reach knowledge and information to the community. And if that needs assistance with technology for those who cannot afford it, the library is ready to provide it.

All you need to is to be a member of a public library and have a library card. See < http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_26704701/beyond-netflix-free-video-st… >.

Please reveal the name of resource persons
by Vimal Kumar V. 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Dear Friends, It seems that organizers of workshops hide the name of resource persons with the details of the program in brochure, websites, blogs and discussion forums. Workshop organizers always give the wordings like this “The workshop sessions will be handled by experts from reputed academic institutions”. Professionals who like to participate in the workshop has the right to know the details of the resource persons. In my view, nothing wrong mention the name of resource persons while announcing the program. Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.

Librarian Guide is back with Video Tutorials.....
by DP Tripathi 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Dear All, Librarian Guide is back with Video Tutorials....... Due to some technical problem, the site had not been functional for few months, now it can be accessed at http://koha.librarianguide.co.in Librarian Guide is an outcome of thoughts to share views and ideas with library professionals in order to increase the value of ICT based library services. Since beginning, the main objective of any library has been to extend maximum services to our library patrons and to achieve the target, libraries are in use of Information Technology for more than 2 decades. To maximum extent, we have been successful in implementation of these technologies in our libraries whether it is research, public or academic libraries? These libraries have been benefiting themselves for house keeping operations but at the same time they have been struggling with the system due to poor support. In between, emergence of open source technology has opened and widened the scope in every field especially library automation, digitization, content management system, and many more especially for libraries. And to enable the library professionals for proper use of all these, social media such as facebook, twitter etc. are playing a very vital role. In order to share ideas & thoughts with library professionals based on personal practical experience with these software, I thought of having one platform where I can share my ideas and solutions with ease and that's what Librarian Guide came into exhistence. The basic purpose for having this website is only to help people and not for gaining any kind of commercial benefits. The cost involved in maintaining this website is totally from my end and not from any other sources. Aim & Objective: Librarian Guide exists only with one aim and objective that is to share maximum ideas & views with library professional friends throughout the globe.

Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 9th Memorial Lecture- reminder
by shivaram gowda 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Dear Members, NCSI-Net Foundation cordially invites you to the Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 9th Memorial Lecture. Please find the details below. Topic: Promotion of e-Resources for Academic & Research Excellence: Tips, Techniques and Insights Speaker: Dr. I.R.N. Goudar Venue: SRELS, # 702, Upstairs, 42nd Cross, III Block, Rajajinagar, Bangalore-10 Date & Time: Friday, October 10th, 2014 at 6 PM The talk will be presided by Dr. I.K. Ravichandra Rao, visiting scientist at the Centre for Knowledge Analytics and Ontological Engineering, which is a World Bank funded Centre for excellence at the PES Institute of Technology, Bangalore, and Formerly, Professor and Head, Documentation Research and Training Centre, ISI, Bangalore. Abstract of the Talk: Apart from 50,000 e-journals, millions of e-Books and ETDs are accessible through both Open access and subscribed channels. This apart, Internet Archive alone gives access to more than 430 billion web pages. UGC spends about 180 crores annually towards e-Resources. Many publishers are moving towards online only environment. Managing and providing e-Resources-based services is a complex phenomenon. Library professionals are facing many challenges in promoting usage of e-resources. Some of the challenges that needs to be addressed to enhance the usage of e-resources include: A good library website serving as single point access to all e-resources (E-Resources Portal); Adaption of ERMs including federated search engines and discovery services; Good ICT infrastructure along with good Internet bandwidth; Both camp-wide and off-campus access to e-Resources; Effective department-wise awareness cum orientation programs; etc. Our experiments in this direction at the University of Mysore (UoM) resulted in accounting for 43.17% of usage of UGC Infonet E-Resources in 2013 among 11 universities in Karnataka. Useful tips, techniques and issues useful for promoting usage of e-Resources, especially my experience both at UoM and Bangalore University would be discussed. About Speaker: Dr. Goudar after completing his B.Sc. in Physics and M.Sc. in Human Physiology did his Bachelor's Degree in Library and Information Science from Karnataka University. He also obtained Associateship in Documentation and Information Science from DRTC/ISI in 1979 and his PhD in 'Library and Information Science' from Karnataka University in 2006. He started his career as a Scientific Assistant at CFTRI, Mysore during 1977. Then he moved to L&T, Bombay for a short period of one year as Supervisor-Documentation. He served Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, one of the CSIR organizations for nearly 12 years as Scientist-Information. He was on deputation as Deputy Librarian at IIT, Chennai for a period of one year.

The Library of Congress Wants Your File Format Ideas | The Signal: Digital Preservation
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

(As Lis-forum is a Text only Forum, I use "Send from Gmail" extension to Chrome to send ANY portion of a web page, converted to plain text; this extension also places the source URL at the end. Convenient, Na) Some well informed librarians may wish to respond to LC on their request ======================================================== The Library of Congress Wants Your File Format Ideas October 3, 2014 by Mike Ashenfelder “Uncle Sam Needs You” painted by James Montgomery Flagg In June of this year, the Library of Congress announced a list of formats it would prefer for digital collections. This list of recommended formats is an ongoing work; the Library will be reviewing the list and making revisions for an updated version in June 2015. Though the team behind this work continues to put a great deal of thought and research into listing the formats, there is still one more important component needed for the project: the Library of Congress needs suggestions from you. This request is not half-hearted. As the Library increasingly relies on the list to identify preferred formats for acquisition of digital collections, no doubt other institutions will adopt the same list. It is important, therefore, that as the Library undertakes this revision of the recommended formats, it conducts a public dialog about them in order to reach an informed consensus. This public dialog includes librarians, library students, teachers, vendors, publishers, information technologists — anyone and everyone with an opinion on the matter and a stake in preserving digital files. Collaboration is essential for digital preservation. No single institution can know everything and do everything alone. This is a shared challenge. Librarians, what formats would you prefer to receive your digital collections in? What file formats are easiest for you to process and access? Publishers and vendors, what format do you think you should create your digital publications in if you want your stuff to last and be accessible into the future? The time may come when you want to re-monetize a digital publication, so you want to ensure that it is accessible. Those are general questions, of course. Let’s look at the specific file formats the Library has selected so far. The preferred formats are categorized by: Textual Works and Musical Compositions Still Image Works Audio Works Moving Image Works Software and Electronic Gaming and Learning Datasets/Databases Take, for example, digital photographs. Here is the list of formats the Library would most prefer to receive for digital preservation: TIFF (uncompressed) JPEG2000 (lossless (*.jp2) PNG (*.png) JPEG/JFIF (*.jpg) Digital Negative DNG (*.dng) JPEG2000 (lossy) (*.jp2) TIFF (compressed) BMP (*.bmp) GIF (*.gif) Is there anything you think should be changed in that list? If so, why? Or anything added to this list? There’s a section on metadata on that page. Does it say enough? Or too little? Is it clear enough? Should the Library add some description about adding photo metadata into the photo files themselves? Please look over the file categories that interest you and tell us what you think. Help us shape a policy that will affect future digital collections, large and small. Be as specific as you can. Email your questions and comments to the digital preservation experts below. Your emails will be confidential; they will not be published on this blog post. So don’t be shy. We welcome all questions and comments, great and small. Send general email about preferred formats to Theron Westervelt (thwe at loc.gov) Send email about specific categories to: Ardie Bausenbach (abau at loc.gov) for Textual Works and Musical Compositions Phil Michel (pmic at loc.gov) for Still Image Works Gene DeAnna (edea at loc.gov) for Audio Works Mike Mashon (mima at loc.gov) for Moving Image Works Trevor Owens (trow at loc.gov) for Software and Electronic Gaming and Learning Donna Scanlon (dscanlon at loc.gov) for Datasets/Databases They are all very nice people who are up to their eyeballs in digital-preservation work and would appreciate hearing your fresh perspective on the subject. One last thing. The recommended formats are just that: recommended. It is not a fixed set of standards. And the Library of Congress will not reject any digital collection of value simply because the file formats in the collection might not conform to the recommended formats. Posted in: Digital Content, Inside the Library, Publications and Resources 2 Comments | Add a Comment » 2 Comments Cezar Popescu October 4, 2014 at 4:33 am The jpg is to be preferred over dng? What sort of madness is this? And tiff on the first position? A privately controlled file format? Phil Michel October 6, 2014 at 2:32 pm I agree that the ordered list of formats can seem illogical. It wouldn’t make sense to create a JPEG from a DNG prior to submitting an image to the Library. We would accept either. It would probably be better to emphasize that the Library is interested in the best version of the file as it was published or created. It is less important that the image is in a format that appears high on the list. We should consider removing the statement that the list is based on “order of preference.” http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/10/the-library-of-congress-wa… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Creating digital version of printed books
by Dr Francis Jayakanth 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Dear Members, One of users, who is visually challenged, is need of several text books, specifically in PDF format, to enable him to read the books on his computer system using a specialized software. Digital versions of these books are available from various online sources, but none of them is offering downloadable PDF versions of the books. Our library has all the books needed by the user in the print format. Now, my question is, can the library scan these books, create PDF files and facilitate only the user in question to make use of the books in the digital format? Would the creation of digital version of a printed book for a very special case come under the fair use clause of copyright laws or would it still be an infringement? Your views and suggestion on the matter are welcome.

Dear Dr. Tapaswi, Thank you very much for sharing your very useful and inspiring work. I wish if it could be translated into other regional languages of ours, too, so that more and more people will be able to read, appreciate, and gain knowledge from your articles. In this context, It is a great opportunity for the fellow professionals to undertake the translation of your work into other regional languages after getting requisite permission from you. With regards, - Francis IIMB, Bannerghatta Road, BG-76 -----Original Message----- From: lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in [mailto:lis-forum-bounces@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in] On Behalf Of Murari Tapaswi Sent: Tuesday, October 7, 2014 8:25 AM To: Subbiah Arunachalam; LIS forum Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] Fwd: Peer library Dear All, After my retirement as a Librarian, I decided to get in to similar exercise on an individual basis. While on the job, I realized, lot of good work (research) is being done at the laboratories in India but that does not reach to the attention of general public. English news papers in India, at least, give some publicity to interesting research results but the readers in regional languages have least chance to get exposed to such work. This is because there is no space available in print media nor there are as many writers who can contribute. As a professional librarian, I thought, I have acquired skills to comprehend the research work in simple language and that I can put that in my mother tongue (Marathi). My experiment in about a couple of years has yielded 26 articles. These are published in Marathi news papers, magazines and finally on my blog at http://muraritapaswi.blogspot.in/. (I realized that the readers for print and electronic media are different). There is an encouraging response (especially feedback after publishing in print media) that fuels in finding and writing on new topic! Based on my experience, I feel librarians can take this as a routine activity and can do this. Only difficulty is finding a place to get it published (it is quite frustrating because the media does not respond on acceptance or rejection of article - and once you give up, it appears!) - you get to know from feedback.

Friends: Please see < https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/libraries/submissions/peerlibrary-f… >. This seems to be a great way to take new knowledge to the public. What science writers and journalists are expected to do. Public (and academic) librarians can work together with like-minded academics and researchers in bringing new knowledge to the people. I know of many academics who write for the media, e.g. Prof. D Balasubramanian of L V Prasad Eye Institute, H'bad and Prof. Shiv Viswanathan of the Jindal Global University. Best.
