Dr Harish Chandra no more
by SB Ghosh 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Dear all, I am greatly depressed to get the sad news of passing away of Dr Harish Chandra, Librarian IIT. It is a great loss to the Professionals in India abroad. I happen to know him since the days of his service at IIT, Delhi. Though He was junior to me but we were friends in all respect. When I was at INSDOC, he used to visit me very often in connection with many issues particularly academic affairs. I met him last at Chennai when He organized IASLIC Conference. That Year,we at IASLIC were in a problem about getting a suitable venue for the conference. Though IASLIC organized conferences at Chennai earlier, I requested Harish to organize it at IIT which he agreed at a short notice. He told me that when you say it is an order. As many of you who attended the conference may recollect how successfully he organized the conference. It is in IIT Conference where I was elected as The President of IASLIC as a first Librarian to be in that position. The conference gave an opportunity to see the IIT library where we saw the tremendous innovation he has made for users' services and the respect he had from the academics and students. I had the opportunity to be involved in many committees where he was also a member. He developed so much proficiency in Tamil, when I asked him he told that I am a person of this land.and i have to do it. It is a personal loss to me. May His soul rest in peace and let the Almighty give his family the courage to bear the loss.

Copyright in Europe

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2360380/libraries-can-digitize-books-without… Libraries can digitize books without consent, says top EU court advisor [image: http://core2.staticworld.net/images/article/2013/04/loek-100031620-byline.j…] Loek Essers <http://www.pcworld.com/article/2360380/libraries-can-digitize-books-without…> @loekessers · Jun 5, 2014 4:00 AM European libraries are allowed to digitize books without the consent of the rights holder, the senior advisor to Europe’s top court said Thursday. The European Copyright Directive does not prevent the digitization of books in a library’s collection if those books are made accessible to the public on dedicated terminals, wrote Advocate General Niilo Jääskinen in a formal opinion <http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2014-06/cp140078en.…> to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). Under the directive, member states must grant authors the exclusive right to authorize or prohibit the reproduction of public works. But there are specific exceptions that apply to libraries which are allowed to make books public for the purpose of research or private study, he said. Digitization of library books may be necessary to protect original works that are still copyrighted but are too old, fragile or rare to make available to a large number of students or when photocopying might result in disproportionate wear, Jääskinen wrote. The directive only permits libraries to digitize individual works though, and does not permit the digitization of an entire collection, he said. Users are not allowed to save the digital book to a USB stick, since that isn’t a communication by the library but the creation of a private digital copy by the user, Jääskinen said. However, the directive in principle does not prevent the book from being printed as a private copy, he added. There is no difference in photocopying a book that is physically present in a library and printing a digital copy of the same book, he said. The risk of unlawful distribution on a large scale which is present with digital copies does not exist in the case of printed paper copies, he said. The Advocate General gave his opinion in a case that was referred to the CJEU by Germany’s Federal Court of Justice. The Germans asked Europe’s top court to clarify the precise implications of Europe’s Copyright Directive in a dispute between the Technical University of Darmstadt and the German publishing house Eugen Ulmer. The university digitized one of the publisher’s textbooks and made it available to students on a terminal while refusing to purchase the ebook version of the book. Eugen Ulmer asked the court to forbid the digitization of the book and prevent students from reading it on a terminal, printing it or saving it on a USB stick. Jääskinen however is of the opinion that even when a rights holder offers the library a license agreement for ebooks, the library can still show a self-made digital copy on dedicated terminals. While the Advocate General’s opinion is not binding on the Court of Justice, the court ruling usually follows his independent advice. This is not always the case though. Last month for example the CJEU ruled that a person has the right to request that search engines remove personal information from search results <http://www.pcworld.com/article/2154281/europes-top-court-orders-google-to-f…>, a ruling that contradicted the Advocate General’s opinion that there was no universal right to be forgotten <http://www.pcworld.com/article/2042924/there-is-no-universal-right-to-be-fo…> . The Judges of the Court are now beginning their deliberations in this case. Judgment will be given at a later yet unspecified date. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

IASLIC 26th National Seminar 2014 – Call for papers
by Prof Pijushkanti Panigrahi 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

IASLIC 26th National Seminar 2014 – Call for papers IASLIC takes it as an opportunity to express its gratefulness to the Government of India for constituting the National Knowledge Commission (NKC) envisioning that creation, development and use of multidimensional knowledge are key factors for the steadfast growth of the economy. IASLIC also feels obliged for the report of the Working Group on Libraries under NKC, entitled “Libraries – Gateway to Knowledge: A Roadmap for Revitalization” and its recommendations for fostering the development of library and information science and services in India. The report rightly indicates that ‘Libraries have a recognized social function in making knowledge publicly available to all. They serve as local centres of information and learning, and are local gateways to national and global knowledge’. As per the recommendation of the National Knowledge Commission (NKC), the National Mission on Libraries (NML), the first ever of its kind across the Globe, has been constituted as a High Level Committee for achieving the primary goals of LIS - Creating, disseminating, optimally utilizing and preserving knowledge. They are instrumental in transforming an unequal society to an egalitarian, progressive knowledge society. IASLIC has initiated a nationwide discussion and Library professionals across the country would actively participate in this discussion to find a roadmap which would help NML and the Govt of India to see the dawn of Knowledge Society in true sense. A delegation from IASLIC has given representation to the Minister of Culture, Govt of India and expressed its views to this regardt. Now IASLIC has decided to discuss and delve into “Roadmap to usher in Knowledge Society” as themain theme of its 26th National Seminar 2014 so that the outcomes of the deliberations can help formulating proper guidelines to usher in tomorrow’s Knowledge Society in India. Papers are invited in the following areas for deliberations. IASLIC (Indian Association of Special Libraries and Information Centres) has scheduled its 26th National Seminar 2014 to be held at the Department of Library and Information Science, Gauhati University, Gopinath Borodoloi Nagar, Guwahati, Assam, India, PIN 781 014 during November, 25-28, 2014.

Which University is Good or Bad for PhD?
by Dr. A.T. Francis 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Dear Library Professionals, This is regarding some comments and suggestions on PhD Research Work. Some professionals argued that deemed universities are bad and government universities are good and hence students should enroll for PhD only in the govt. It is not the right presumption that all govt. universities are good and all deemed universities are bad. In Kerala, we have 13 govt. universities and none of them have university librarians to look after their Library Systems. It is also to be noted that four of these universities not even established the University Libraries (Ref: Francis, A.T. 2014, Library and information systems in universities and quality of higher education and research. University News, 52(20), May 19-26, 2014, 8-13 & 21). So, it should be the first concern of the LIS professionals and Associations to establish good libraries with adequate facilities and library professionals in all schools, colleges, universities and research agencies. Another concern of the professionals was on the language of writing thesis. There is no harm in writing thesis in any language. But it should be as per the academic regulation of the concerned university. If the university permits writing LIS thesis in Malayalam, students can do accordingly. If the student decided to write LIS thesis in Malayalam, he/she should strictly follow the grammar and structure of Malayalam. That is why universities/experts insist thorough editing/checking of the topic/subject, quantitative analysis; and the last one, but not the least, the language editing. I am having the qualifications, MCom, MLISc, NET and PhD (CochinUniversity). I had to wait for 12 years to obtain a Research Guide for PhD. Hence, it is my humble request that please encourage our fellow professionals to do PhD and be good librarians with personal and social status. As majority of the librarians and former librarians in Kerala (not in universities and colleges) are non professionals without any professional qualifications, people generally think that librarians did not have any valid qualifications and the job of librarians need any expertise. If no skill is required for our job, Existence of LIS departments is also under question,. I am a research guide of several universities, including the KarpagamUniversity and BharathiarUniversity. Eight (maximum) students are doing PhD research under me and several students are struggling to get a slot for PhD. So, evaluating a university should be based on its facilities, academic regulations and not on personal grounds. With regards, Dr. A.T. FRANCIS, MCom, MLISc, NET, PhD HEAD, LIBRARY College of Horticulture Kerala Agricultural University Thrissur - 680 656, India, 91-9496839409 (m) francisaloor(a)yahoo.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Innovative Acquires VTLS
by nikesh 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Hi Colleagues, Hope this information will be useful for VTLS customers and also to keep note of mergers and partnership among Library system developers. *Innovative Acquires VTLS http://www.iii.com/vtls <http://www.iii.com/vtls> * *& announce expanded strategic Partnership with EBSCO Discovery Service * On May 30, 2014 Innovative acquired VTLS, a library automation solutions provider with customers in 44 countries. The combined companies will be led by Innovative CEO Kim Massana. The combined company will offer even greater resources to Innovative customers in solving the challenges of library automation, deepening customer support and product development capabilities worldwide. Innovative now supports an installed base of over 2,400 library systems, totaling 9,500 libraries, in 66 countries. Corporate headquarters will continue to be located in Emeryville, CA, with other major offices in Blacksburg, VA; Syracuse, NY; Dublin, Ireland; Barcelona, Spain; Kuala Lumpur (Selangor), Malaysia; Noida, India; Madrid, Spain; and Taipei City, Taiwan. Innovative now employs more than 500 staff members, including 150 librarians. *Innovative Interfaces and EBSCO Discovery Service Announce Expanded Strategic Partnership * http://www.iii.com/news/pr_display.php?id=573 Discovery/ILS Partnership Leads to Greater Integration of Electronic Resource Discovery and Delivery Emeryville, CA--Innovative Interfaces, Inc. (Innovative) and EBSCO Information Services <http://www.ebsco.com/> (EBSCO) have expanded their strategic partnership designed to improve access to library resources. The expanded partnership will incorporate catalog functionality within the EBSCO Discovery Service(tm) (EDS) experience including real-time circulation status checking, enabling end users to place holds via EDS, providing libraries with single sign-on authentication and displaying patron account status within EDS. The partnership also allows Innovative to sell EBSCO A-to-Z(tm) with LinkSource(R), which will be known as Full Text Finder(tm). Innovative Chief Executive Officer, Kim Massana, says the expanded agreement came out of the success of the existing working arrangement. "As we have developed our current Encore/EDS integration, we saw opportunities for a closer working relationship in other areas that will benefit our library customers and their end users." EBSCO Information Services President Tim Collins say the expanded partnership with Innovative is a great example of two library vendors working together to benefit customers. "We know our customers are looking for a variety of solutions for improving access to library collections and that is what we want to provide. The continuing success of our partnership with Innovative is a testament to what two vendors can accomplish when they decide it is in their collective best interests to develop solutions that leverage their strengths and, most importantly, serve the needs of their customers." The existing agreement has provided for joint development designed to enable more tightly integrated access between Innovative's Encore discovery platform and EBSCO Discovery Service <http://www.ebscohost.com/discovery> (EDS) in addition to facilitating access between EDS and Innovative's Sierra Services Platform. Having access to EDS's unified index expands the quality and amount of content available for Encore users while adding the enhanced features and functionality available from EDS. Encore users are also able to search their EBSCOhost databases via the Encore interface--providing a uniquely powerful article search experience. The partnership has also led to the development of the newly released Encore with EBSCO Discovery Service, which brings the most comprehensive collection of full-text articles available into Encore. The robust metadata offered by EDS is culled from thousands of major journal publishers and information providers, providing the deepest possible indexing for the majority of journals and magazines. In addition, users of Encore with EBSCO Discovery Service benefit from more full-text resources than with any other option. Regards *Nikesh Narayanan **M.Tech, MLIS, M.Com* Discovery Service Engineer (India) *EBSCO* Information Services India Pvt.

Dear All, During my service to the LIS community i observed some people do not wish to acknowledge your help and observed the following reasons: 1. They wanted to get help but prove themselves in their parent organizations and community. 2. They are actually not devoted for the work for which they want help. 3. They are not authorized to acknowledge in written or not interested to approach the authority because of fear that they will be underestimated, their may be some other reasons also. Please note our country need help to become developed so your reference may direct the persons at right source of help and it will save lot of time including yours, strong technical/professional capability will developed among the peoples as well as your strong image will be also build among all.

Membership Campaign of ACADEMIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION (ALA)
by Dr. A.T. Francis 07 Jun '14

07 Jun '14

Dear LIS Professionals, This is an appeal to all LIS Professionals in India to enroll in the ACADEMIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION (ALA). Though it was started functioning during 1996, it has been registered as Scientific Society recently with No. TSR/TC/267/2014, Thrissur, Kerala-680651 Library professionals with minimum BLISc can enroll as Life Members of ALA. DLISc/CLISc holders and LIS students can also enroll as Associate Members. The membership fee is Rs. 100/- for both. Assoc. Membership will be automatically converted to Life Membership on acquiring BLISc or higher, without any additional fee. This year’s major focus of ALA is School Libraries without its development no academic, special or public library will survive. The use of all libraries and dignity of all librarians are closely associated with how school libraries are maintained. Unfortunately, most of the school libraries (other than international / central/ Navodhaya / CBSE / ICSE / Similar schools) in Kerala and India in general are totally neglected. This situation adversely affects the reading and learning skills of the people. Research findings revealed that people without reading habit are more attuned to anti-social activities like, drinking, drugs, ragging, riots etc. Hence, it is the duty of the LIS Professionals to do all sorts of effort to revamp our School Library System with enough facilities and qualified Library Education Teachers. Unity is the strength in any democratic society. Members’ enrolment in associations, collaboration of associations and effective and targeted functioning of them are the need of the day. That is why we keep the membership fee to the minimum. So, this is a humble request to all LIS Professionals in India to enroll in ALA. As a most easy way, you can remit the fee by Electronic Transfer/DD in favour of “Academic Library Association”, SBT, Ollukkara Branch, (Branch Code: 70210)Mannuthy, Thrissur, A/c. No. 67277881745; IFS Code: SBTR0000210and send your application/details by e-mail or sms. Remittance of fee as group is also possible. Kindly pass this message to your professional friends to encourage this campaign. Mr. P.A. Pradeep (KeralaVeterinaryUniversity, Papradeep08(a)Gmail.com, Phone: 9995087645) is the General Secretary and myself is the President of ALA. With regards, Dr. A.T.

Frankly, much against my nature, I was in Cloud Nine, hesitating to climb down! As it is difficult, if not impossible, for me to individually acknowledge each well wisher, I am choosing to send a million thanks via this missive. I have made a table of all those to whom thanks are due. If I have missed some, it is just a slip, pardon me.

Complete details are given in http://kanuri.org/ The KLN Award seeks to recognize individuals, social catalysts, who have advanced our understanding and awareness of issues and challenges affecting elders, thereby enhancing the dignity, care, and well-being of elders in a changing society. The KLN Award will be given up to four times a year. The awardee receives a certificate and a cheque for Rs. 200,000. The name of the first awardee (Dr Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy) was announced on June 5th 2014. It will be given on June 15, the United Nations’ World Elder Abuse Awareness day. The website answers all doubts through an FAQ. This award is not based on any application from individuals and subsequent selection. You cannot send nominations or recommendations. The KLN Trust which has instituted the award searches, sifts, selecta and reaches out to the suitable candidate concerned on its own. All along I have taken pride in searching Google for answering my own and others queries and consider myself as a semi-expert. Deccan Chronicle called me The Internet Hunter sometime ago. For a change, KLN Trust Googled and reached me as a suitable person for the award!. Sri Manohar Kanuri of the trust met me personally some months ago and thereafter we exchanged many email messages and telephone calls. Therefore I am happy about the role played by Google and the Internet in general – I am pleased that I have left enough footprints to trace me down. -- Posted By Blogger to kaaranam-ketkadey <http://vyasa-kaaranam-ketkadey.blogspot.com/2014/06/kln-award-and-gooogle-b…> at 6/06/2014 08:56:00 PM -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Fwd: FW: A Global View of Open Access - Part 6: A perspective on Open Access in India
by Sridhar Gutam 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

*Subject:* A Global View of Open Access - Part 6: A perspective on Open Access in India A Global View of Open Access - Part 6: A perspective on Open Access in India *Tony Hey - Vice President, Microsoft Research* I am very pleased to introduce the sixth and last article in this series of snapshots of the progress towards open access around the globe. Muthu Madhan, manager of Library and Information Services at the International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in Patancheru, Hyderabad (www.icrisat.org) has kindly updated his 2011 status report on: "Open Access to Scholarly Literature in India -- A Status Report <http://cis-india.org/openness/publications/open-access-scholarly-literature…>". In this blog entry he reports on the recent developments on OA in India as well as summarizes its origins. Open Access discussions began surprisingly early in India, dating back to a talk given by Stevan Harnad in September 2000. The first institutional repository was set up next year at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. Unfortunately, although the report details many expressions of support for open access, there have been very few institutional or funder mandates that have been implemented to encourage the deposit of the full text of research articles. ICRISAT is one of the few institutions that has set up a repository and introduced a mandate. The situation seems a missed opportunity for Indian researchers but open access in India is complicated by the emergence of 100s of new 'predatory journals' claiming to offer open access for a fee. There is clearly much work to be done to realize true open access in India and it is to be hoped that OA initiatives <http://www.globalresearchcouncil.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/grc_action_pl…> such as that championed by the Global Research can help make a real difference. http://tonyhey.net/2014/06/03/a-global-view-of-open-access-part-6/ Sridhar Gutam, PhD, ARS Senior Scientist (Plant Physiology) ICAR Research Centre for Eastern Region <http://icarrcer.in/> Regional Centre, Tata Road, Rajaulatu Post Plandu, Ranchi 834010, Jharkhand Phone: +91-651-2260141; Fax: +91-651-2260101 Mobile:+91-9005760036/8005346136 Publications: http://works.bepress.com/sridhar_gutam/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
