z39.50 Taget Directory

Dear Friends, We all are using library automation software whether it is commercial or open source. Now a days, in most of the software, there is provision for copy cataloguing through z39.50 target. We find difficult in getting the z39.50 server detail through Internet. Recently I came to know one source which covers most of z39.50 target. Hope this will be helpful to you all. The most attractive thing of this website is that you can search the z39.50 target based on your keywords. For ex: If someone wants to search the z39.50 target only for special library, then search it with the keyword 'Special Library' It will give you the result which has z39.50 target detail related to keyword. http://irspy.indexdata.com Thanks, -- ********************* D.

NSF report on global shares of S&E article output
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 18 May '14

18 May '14

A recent report from the US National Science Foundation, Science and Engineering Indicators 2014 summarizes the outputs of Academic S&E Research. It is interesting to note that the percentage of output from American and European nations are coming down and Chinese percentage is increased close to 4 times. India is also making progress, but not as China does!! Global shares of S&E article output of the United States, the European Union (EU), and Japan have declined. China’s global share has risen sharply. * The United States, the world’s second-largest producer, accounted for 26% of the world’s total S&E articles in 2011, down from 30% in 2001. The share for the EU, the world’s largest producer, also declined, from 35% in 2001 to 31% in 2011. Japan’s share fell from 9% to 6%. * China grew the fastest among larger developing economies, with its share rising from 3% to 11%. China has become the world’s third-largest producer of scientific articles, after the EU and the United States. * Brazil and India also grew rapidly, with their global shares reaching 2% and 3%, respectively. Iran, a developing nation with a much smaller publication base in 2001, grew to a 1% global share by 2011.

Thirty years of Information Technology (Vandana Mahajan-Emerald)
by Vandana Mahajan 16 May '14

16 May '14

Emerald Group Publishing Limited Abstract: Purpose - This issue of Library Hi Tech aims to offer a retrospective over the last 30 years of information technology as used in libraries and other memory institutions, particularly archives and museums. This Editorial will add the Editor's reflections. Design/methodology/approach - The method uses historical documentation and relies heavily on personal recollection. Findings - Thirty years ago information technology in libraries largely had to do with ways in which libraries could make their ordinary operations more efficient. Today the information science frontier has broken out of the comfortable institutional paradigm of the past and made libraries aware that they need to redefine themselves in a world where their buildings no longer represent a storehouse of knowledge unavailable elsewhere. Originality/value - This paper reveals that information technology advances have not made libraries obsolete, but they have made it imperative that libraries redefine their role to be digital information managers and service providers for their readers Vandana Mahajan Account Management Executive Emerald Group Publishing Emerald Group Publishing Limited, Registered Office: Howard House, Wagon Lane, Bingley, BD16 1WA United Kingdom.

Six things to do before writing your manuscript
by Vinay Kumar 13 May '14

13 May '14

Six things to do before writing your manuscriptSource: http://www.elsevier.com/connect/six-things-to-do-before-writing-your-manusc… I found it very useful to those who are willing to publish their work in International journals. Dr. Angel Borja stated 6 factors that are to be considered while preparing a manuscript for a journal. *1. Think about why you want to publish your work – and whether it's publishable. * Writing a paper starts well in advance of the actual writing. In fact, you must to think about why you want to publish your work at the beginning of your research, when you question your hypothesis. You need to check then if the hypothesis and the survey/experiment design are publishable. Ask yourself: - Have I done something new and interesting? - Is there anything challenging in my work? - Is my work related directly to a current hot topic? - Have I provided solutions to some difficult problems? If all answers are "yes," then you can start preparations for your manuscript. If any of the responses are "no," you can probably submit your paper to a local journal or one with lower Impact Factor. When responding to these questions, you should keep in mind that reviewers are using questionnaires in which they must respond to questions such as: - Does the paper contain sufficient new material? - Is the topic within the scope of the journal? - Is it presented concisely and well organized? - Are the methods and experiments presented in the way that they can be replicated again? - Are the results presented adequately? - Is the discussion relevant, concise and well documented? - Are the conclusions supported by the data presented? - Is the language acceptable? - Are figures and tables adequate and well designed?, are there information duplicated? Are they too many? - Are all references cited in the text included in the references list? *2. Decide what type of the manuscript to write.* You have at least three options on the type of manuscript: 1. *Full articles, or original articles,* are the most important papers. Often they are substantial completed pieces of research that are of significance as original research. 2. *Letters/rapid communications/short communications* are usually published for the quick and early communication of significant and original advances. They are much shorter than full articles (usually strictly limited in size, depending on each journal). 3. *Review papers or perspectives* summarize recent developments on a specific hot topic, highlighting important points that have previously been reported and introduce no new information. Normally they are submitted on invitation by the editor of the journal. When looking at your available information, you must self-evaluate your work: Is it sufficient for a full article, or are your results so thrilling that they should be shown as soon as possible? You should ask your supervisor (if you are a PhD student) or a colleague for advice on the manuscript type to be submitted. Remember also that sometimes outsiders – i.e., colleagues not involved in your research – can see things more clearly than you. Whatever type of article you write, plan to submit only one manuscript, not a series of manuscripts. (Normally editors hate this practice, since they have limited space in the journals and series of manuscripts consume too many pages for a single topic or an author/group of authors) *3. Choose the target journal.* A common question is how to select the right journal for your work. Do not gamble by scattering your manuscript to many journals at the same time. Only submit once and wait for the response of the editor and the reviewers. The most common way of selecting the right journal is to look at the articles you have consulted to prepare your manuscript. Probably most of them are concentrated in one or two journals. Read very recent publications in each candidate journal (even in press), and find out the hot topics and the types of articles accepted. Also consider the high rejection rates of the journals (e.g., *Nature*, *Science*, *The Lancet* and *Cell* are >90 percent), and if your research is not very challenging, focus in more humble journals with lower Impact Factors. You can find a journal's Impact Factor on its webpage or via Science Gateway <http://www.sciencegateway.org/rank/index.html> ( http://www.sciencegateway.org/rank/index.html) *4. Pay attention to journal requirements in the Guide for Authors.* After selecting the journal for submission, go to the web page and download the Guide for Authors, print out it and read the guidelines again and again! They generally include detailed editorial guidelines, submission procedures, fees for publishing open access, and copyright and ethical guidelines. You must apply the Guide for Authors to your manuscript, even the first draft, using the proper text layout, references citation, nomenclature, figures and tables, etc. Following this simple tip will save your time – and the editor's time. You must know that all editors hate wasting time on poorly prepared manuscripts. They may well think that the author shows no respect. *5. Pay attention to the structure of the paper. * More and more journals have new types of structure for their articles, so it's crucial to consult the Guide for Authors. However, in general, most of them follow the same structure: - A section that enables indexing and searching the topics, making the paper informative, attractive and effective. It consists of the Title, the Authors (and affiliations), the Abstract and the Keywords. - A section that includes the main text, which is usually divided into: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions. - A section that includes the Acknowledgements, References, and Supplementary Materials or annexes. The general structure of a full article follows the *IMRAD* format, introduced as a standard by the American National Standards Institute in 1979, which responds to the questions below: - *I*ntroduction: What did you/others do? Why did you do it? - *M*ethods: How did you do it? - *R*esults: What did you find? - *A*nd - *D*iscussion: What does it all mean? I will discuss structure in more detail in a subsequent article. *6. Understand publication ethics to avoid violations.* One of the worst things in science is plagiarism. Plagiarism and stealing work from colleagues can lead to serious consequences, both professionally and legally. Violations include data fabrication and falsification, improper use of human subjects and animals in research, and using another author's ideas or wording without proper attribution. It's also possible to commit ethics violations without intending to. Educational resources include the Publishing Ethics Resource Kit (PERK)<http://www.elsevier.com/editors/perk>from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) <http://publicationethics.org> and Elsevier's Ethics in Publication & Research website <http://www.elsevier.com/ethics/home>.

Open Source Options | Library Systems Landscape- Report 2014
by nikesh 12 May '14

12 May '14

Dear Colleagues, This is a very good article appeared in Library Journalregarding the status of Open Source ILS system with a write up of much anticipated open source Library system KUALI OLE ( http://www.kuali.org/ole ) Open Source Options | Library Systems Landscape By Matt Enis <http://www.thedigitalshift.com/author/menis/> http://www.thedigitalshift.com/2014/04/ils/open-source-options-library-syst… *OPEN SOURCE LIBRARY SYSTEMS- KUALI OLE MAKES AN ENTRANCE * This year will see the much--anticipated entry of the Kuali Open Library Environment (OLE) into the market. This next-generation system is organized into four separate modules, including acquisitions, cataloging and records maintenance, circulation, and systems integration, a module that will facilitate Kuali OLE's internal integration, as well as integration with other campus enterprise systems, such as financial, identity, and learning systems. Kuali OLE is a "community source" project, which differs from open source in that initially the software was controlled by a coalition of research libraries that agreed to contribute to the project in exchange for input regarding its development in the earliest stages. Those libraries include Indiana University, Bloomington; University of Maryland, College Park; Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA; University of Chicago; University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; Duke University, Durham, NC; North Carolina State University, Raleigh; Bloomsbury Colleges at the University of London; Villanova University, PA; and a consortium of university libraries in Florida. Project funding has included contributions from several of these libraries, along with grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the most recent of which was for $882,000 to Indiana University in March. Kuali OLE 1.0 was released in November 2013 under an open source Educational Community License. This release will allow early adopters to review installation requirements and begin mapping data from their current ILS. Version 1.5.0 was released in February and offers all of the necessary functionality for full implementation, although critical bug fixes are still being addressed. The University of Chicago and Lehigh will be the first to go live with the system in its 1.5 iteration and are aiming for summer 2014.

Library Systems Report 2014- Marshall Breeding's article on Discovery Service and other Library Systems
by nikesh 12 May '14

12 May '14

Reports on Discovery Services http://www.americanlibrariesmagazine.org/article/library-systems-report-2014 The genre of web-scale discovery services has seen vigorous development and competition since about 2009. These products rely on a massive centralized index populated by the universe of content products to which libraries subscribe, open access materials, and local resources such as those managed through its ILS. Major products include ProQuest Summon, Primo and Primo Central from Ex Libris, EBSCO Discovery Service, and OCLC's WorldCat Local. EBSCO currently stands as the front-runner, with a long lead of 5,612 library subscribers to EDS. OCLC reports 1,717 libraries with access to WorldCat Local, though a smaller number use it as their primary discovery interface. Ex Libris has licensed Primo to 1,407 libraries, and ProQuest reports 673 libraries using Summon. Improvements to EDS implemented in 2013 include a major initiative to incorporate subject indexing of more than 10,000 open access journals. EBSCO provides EDS subscribers with details of its algorithms for determining relevancy of search results and gives libraries control over the priority of links presented to users. The company devotes substantial resources to EDS, reporting that more than 330 of the company's 420 developers are involved with the product's ongoing development. This figure greatly exceeds the development capacity of any other company covered in this report. ProQuest announced version 2.0 of Summon midyear 2013, offering a variety of enhancements to the user interface deployed on a new technology platform. The new interface adds a third column dedicated to additional tools and resources relevant to the search query, such as scholar profiles, topic explorer, best bets, and database recommendations. Ex Libris released Primo version 4.5 with new features such as virtual browsing by call number, improvements in date searching, and faster search performance. Additional capabilities in the OPAC via Primo address issues that arise as libraries retire their legacy online catalogs, such as when they implement products like Alma that depend entirely on a discovery interface. OCLC announced a new product, WorldCat Discovery Services, as the successor to both WorldCat Local and its FirstSearch service. Based on a new technology platform and new interface design, WorldCat Discovery Services will be phased in for both current WorldCat Local sites and FirstSearch subscribers, with final switchover toward the end of 2015. *Nikesh Narayanan* Mobile: +918130995687 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dubai Public Library is FREE for Senior Citizens now
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 10 May '14

10 May '14

Long ago I tried in vain with British Library Group to offer similar free (subsidized) membership for our senior citizens. Could not convince the authorities. ----> PVM Elderly initiative turns new page with Dubai library services Free membership and priority access to books for senior citizens as part of wider Thuker programme By Faisal Masudi, Staff Reporter May 9, 2014 Dubai: Senior citizens of Dubai have been granted complimentary public library membership as part of wider privileges for the elderly. Emiratis aged over 60 can receive free membership and priority services to all eight Dubai Public Library (DPL) branches. DPL started offering the privileges last month as part of the Thuker (Balance) initiative of the Community and Development Authority (CDA). CDA and its partners in the initiative aim to acknowledge and reward senior citizens for their contribution to Dubai’s development. DPL is also offering them a free pick-and-drop service for books and priority in borrowing books. Thuker is held under the patronage of Shaikh Mansour Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. A senior citizen said the initiative has encouraged him to read more on a daily basis. Mohammad Abdullah, 63, said the Thuker card “provides a variety of services and discount on products. I’ve received a great deal of support from the government entities which are providing a wide range of services at international standards. “One important value-added privilege I receive is the access to the services of [DPL] in which I now enjoy spending my free time in reading, as I know that daily reading strengthens my memory and stabilises my mood.” He added: “I hope that the list of the service providers registered with this CDA card gets broadened to have more authorities and companies from all over the country.” Established around five decades ago, DPL recently came under the ownership of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority. Abdul Rahman Ebrahim, head of DPL, said: “Dubai Public Library is committed to giving back to the community through an array of year-round initiatives that engage and inspire love for the written word. “Through our participation in CDA’s Thuker initiative, we are honouring those individuals who have played a role in defining the city’s history.” He added: “Senior citizens account for a fair share of the [library users] ratio... [They] tend to lean more towards books on history, biographies of our visionary leadership and narratives that speak about Dubai and the UAE.” Ebrahim said the initiative will allow them to “skip the line, per se.” He explained that Thuker “derives its name from the Arabic word for balance and serves as a metaphor to reach out to the entire spectrum of community members.” The libraries are located in Al Twar, Al Mankhool, Hor Al Anz, Al Safa, Al Rashidiya, Al Ras, Umm Suqeim and Hatta. ============= Dr P Vyasamoorthy President: Society for Serving Seniors 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015.

Fwd: [Open-access] EU blocks WIPO case for improved international copyright legislation (Was: RE: [open-science] Elsevier: some facts, by Tim Gowers)
by Subbiah Arunachalam 09 May '14

09 May '14

I am forwarding this not-so welcome news from another list. Arun ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Regrettably the EU has now moved to block further discussion of WIPO's case for harmonising international legislation on text/data-mining and other copyright issues - see below. Clearly more lobbying of MEPs is required. Peter -- Peter Morgan Head of Medical and Science Libraries Medical Library Cambridge University Library Addenbrooke's Hospital Hills Road Cambridge CB2 0SP UK email: pbm2(a)cam.ac.uk tel: +44 (0)1223 336757 fax: +44 (0)1223 331918 -------- Original Message -------- Dear colleagues, Attached is a joint press release from library and achive organisations on last week’s failed talks at WIPO on exceptions and limitations for libraries and archives. LIBER was present to highlight the copyright problems faced by European research libraries, particluarly in relations to cross border activity, mass digitasation, contracts, and copyright issues related to text and data mining. It was made clear by the EU representatives that they did not support an international legal instrument that would allieviate the copyright problems that libraries and archives face and this position led to to breakdown in discussions. This is a very disappoiting outcome for libraries in Europe. | would like to ask you to circulate the attached press release as widely as possible within your own countries so that we can increas awareness amoungst national policy makers of the need to support international solutions to the problems libraries face in providing access to information and supporting education, research and innovation. Kind regards, Susan *EU REJECTS INTERNATIONAL SOLUTION TO LIBRARY AND ARCHIVE COPYRIGHT PROBLEMS; CAUSES COLLAPSE OF WIPO MEETING* Tuesday 6 May 2014 *Discussions by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) Standing Committee on Copyright & Related Rights (SCCR) broke down in the early hours of Saturday morning 3 May, after the European Union (EU) attempted to block future discussion of copyright laws to aid libraries and archives fulfill their missions in the digital environment.* Library and archive delegations from Europe, Latin America, Australia, the United States, Canada and the UK attended the 27th meeting of the SCCR from 28 April – 2 May 3014, to push for an international treaty to help libraries and archives preserve cultural heritage, facilitate access to essential information by people wherever they are in the world. The meeting ended in disarray at 1:30am on Saturday morning, after the EU tried to have crucial references to “text-based” work on copyright exceptions removed from the meeting conclusions - a move viewed by other Member States and library and archive NGOs present as an attempt to delay, if not derail, any progress on copyright exceptions at WIPO. Dr. Stuart Hamilton, Deputy Secretary General of the *International Federation of Library Associations & Institutions (IFLA)* commented: *“For the past three years, Member States have been looking at draft texts on copyright exceptions for libraries and archives. The EU is now trying to pretend these don’t exist. We’re frustrated, and deeply disappointed. It appears the EU came to WIPO with one goal in mind: to kill the discussion.” * The EU’s attempt to sideline discussion of copyright exceptions at WIPO is particularly concerning in light of the ongoing review of copyright laws at the EU level. Dr Paul Ayris, President of LIBER, the *Association of European Research Libraries*, expressed his disappointment: *“The position taken by the EU delegation in Geneva contrasts strongly with current discussions at European level, where it has been recognised that copyright exceptions for libraries are essential, and must be harmonised in order to facilitate international research and innovation in the age of Science 2.0. The conservative position taken at SCCR 27 in Geneva this week is therefore deeply disappointing. It does not support research and education and hampers European researchers in their use of new tools and services.”* The SCCR has been discussing a possible legal instrument to safeguard copyright exceptions and limitations for libraries and archives since 2009. It is due to submit recommendations to the WIPO General Assembly in September 2014. “*We must act now, and engage at WIPO to make sure the EU and other developed countries know just how inadequate copyright laws are for libraries and archives in the digital, global world,” *said Dr. Stuart Hamilton. *A full list of quotes from organisations is included in a separate attachment.

Koha Training Feedback
by Binu Thomas 09 May '14

09 May '14

Dear LIS Members, Through the forum I would take the opportunity to appreciate and congratulate Mr. V.K.Mishra and Mr. D.P.Tripathi on conducting a superb training in Koha & Joomla during the workshop at NIT, Rourkela. Their sincere commitment and dedication is an example to be followed by all library professionals. "Service before Self" is the motto that I could truly see in action during the 4 days of training. Their expert knowledge in Koha is an advantage to the community. I would highly recommend the training. I hope they would conduct again in future. Empowering librarians to be independent in driving a library is their life motto, which I could sense. I hope that the other participants also share the same view. Best Wishes Sir for your team and future efforts that you plan to undertake in this direction. Sincere Regards, -- *Binu Thomas* | Sr. Project Manager Éclat Engg Pvt.
