Invitation to attend National workshop on Plagiarism at JNU on 23 April 2014
by Ramesh C Gaur 15 Mar '14

15 Mar '14

National Workshop on Plagiarism : Issues and Challenges Organized by Central Library Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi Date: April 23rd , 2014 Venue: Auditorium-I, Convention Centre, JNU Supported by INFLIBENT &BALANI INFOTECH 23rd April is observed as Word Book and Copyright Day in order to honor and acknowledge the authors and their contributions –books and other intellectual content. The UNESCO establishes 23 April a red letter day for the significance it holds for world literature. It was the day in year 1616 when Cervantes and Shakespeare left for their heavenly abode, though the fact is not unanimously accepted among the scholars. Strangely the day happens to beassociated with life (and death) of many renowned littérateurs such as Maurice Druon,K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, JosepPla and Manuel MejíaVallej. Celebrating the Day, UNESCO aims to promote, support, joys of reading, publishing, acknowledging and protecting the contributions of authors through adherence to copyright laws by one and all. In consonance with the same spirit, the Central Library, JNU in collaboration with INFLIBNET and M/S Balani InfoTech will organize a daylong workshop for the research scholars of the university. It is hoped that the national seminar will provide a forum to the experts and researchers to deliberate upon the issues related to plagiarism and copyright laws. The proceedings of the Day commensurate with the mission of Central Library, which promotes scholarly communication as per the norms and ethics of the academic world. It is well accepted that honesty is the basic policy of academic or scientific writing. Unfortunately, the widely rampant lapse is plagiarism which occurs intentionally or unintentionally. As the issue of plagiarism is assuming greater concern, universities worldwide, are taking concerted efforts to deter, prevent and discipline plagiarism. The scholars or researchers in academic world are expected to adhere to the highest standards of academic honesty and integrity and avoid all forms of writing which can be considered as plagiarism. Plagiarism has been defined as taking someone else’s words, ideas and passing them off as one’s own. It is an act of using the language and thoughts of others without acknowledging them. It tantamount to misappropriation, infringement, piracy, counterfeiting or academic theft or fraud. There are ten most common types of plagiarism , as mentioned on the website ofplagiarism.org,which are listed as follows: clone: Submitting another’s work, word-for-word, as one’s own; CTRL-C has significant portions of text from a single source without alterations ; Find – replace -changes key words and phrases but retains the essential content of the source; Remix - Paraphrases from multiple sources, made to fit together; Recycle borrows generously from the writer’s previous work without citation; Hybrid Combines perfectly cited sources with copied passages without citation; Mash up - mixes copied material from multiple sources; 404 error- includes citations to non-existent or inaccurate information about sources; Aggregator includes proper citation to sources but the paper contains almost no original work; Re-tweet Includes proper citation, but relies too closely on the text’s original wording and/or structure. Spotlighting the causes at times the (pseudo) researchers may lack complete understanding of the subject as a result may be hesitant to undertake original research writing. The researchers may be unaware of the importance of academic honesty and publishing ethics. They may be ignorant of the consequences which may befall them when they get caught. At times, the researchers may be tempted to take short cuts and end up plagiarising. They may lack the ability to express their views in their own language. They may lack the ability to quote, paraphrase and summarize the sources. The researchers may not be proficient in assimilating and integrating the views of other scholars in their own writings. They may be unaware of theimmense relevance of the references and citations and how to list them, which they have consulted and used. Citations and references are the notations in the text of a paper which identify the source of the authors’ claims, other research and theories mentioned in the paper. References serve as a pivotal link in the scholarly communication which enable the readers to investigate in more depth the details of a given thought or idea. Self-plagiarism is considered equally unacceptable in academic world. It is copying material which one has previously contributed and published and projecting it as new contribution and getting it published. It is an act of literary theft and is prolific in the scholarly world. Self-plagiarism is considered unethical because the journal space is exceptionally limited, where researchers compete with one another to get published after passing through rigorous process of peer review. The editors and referees have to spend considerable time in screening and evaluating the authors’ manuscripts. If the same manuscript is submitted twice it leads to duplication of content, efforts and dissipation of energy. Objectives The workshop is unique, first-of-its-kind in India, which aims to be a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing on issue of plagiarism which is highly relevant to all the stakeholders of scholarly communication. The workshop will have eminent experts from industry, academia,law as resource persons, library professionals who have been early adopters of tools and technologies which are used to detect and prevent plagiarism. This workshop would be a rare opportunity for researchers, students, and Library& Information Science Professionals to gain knowledge of various facets of plagiarism. The day-long seminar will inform and educate the researchers about the importance of academic honesty, plagiarism and its repercussions across the scholarly communication. It will sensitize the researchers towards the consequences which may befall due to intentional or unintentional plagiarism or self plagiarism. It will educate the researchers about how copyright laws and plagiarism rules apply to using material from the Internet. It will also educate the researchers about the relevance of providing accurate citations and references in the scholarly communication. It is hoped that the day-long seminar will increase the researchers’ understanding and adherence to copyright laws and other measures to protect intellectual copyrights. The format of the workshop will be demos, case studies, followed by lectures , breakout sessions and a short quiz for the researchers.

With the continuous explosion of information hitting you 24 by 7, along with pressures of remaining abreast with study and other day to day challenges, you can easily fall into the hidden trap of believing that you are functioning at your maximum; and have no further potential left for experiencing or achieving more! You feel completely stretched out, and therefore consciously / unconsciously put away your dreaming powers and loving longings for later! Interestingly, most of us are only utilizing a fraction of our true potential … why … because it has got covered with layers and layers of unnecessary and futile hum drum of every day Survival! How would you like to discover simple ways to wipe away the unsolicited covering layers, and get reconnected to your very own hidden potential; and once again be able to freely exercise your very own magical positive powers ? MMM, please don’t think that this is one more empty gimmick to lure you to my session!

Linux as OER
by Mailing List Admin 10 Mar '14

Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2014 22:55:24 +0530 From: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> When OSS Meets MOOC - Open Enterprise<http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2014/03/when-oss-meets-moo…> Posted: 07 Mar 2014 10:55 PM PST "One of the central themes of this blog is how the idea of sharing and openness that lie at the heart of open source have spread fruitfully to other domains - open data, open knowledge, open access are obvious examples. So it was perhaps inevitable that at some point I would write about the currently-fashionable MOOCs: 'A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC; English pronunciation: /muːk/) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. In addition to traditional course materials such as videos, readings, and problem sets, MOOCs provide interactive user fora that help build a community for students, professors, and teaching assistants (TAs). MOOCs are a recent development in distance education.' But not just any old MOOC: 'The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux and collaborative development, today announced it is building a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) program with edX, the nonprofit online learning platform launched in 2012 by Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). More than 31 universities have partnered with edX and nearly two million people have accessed its courses online since it launched just 18 months ago.' The Linux Foundation's move is eminently sensible given the following: 'As Linux has become the fabric of computing, demand for talent to support it has skyrocketed. For example, according to the 2014 Linux Jobs Report, nine in 10 hiring managers are hiring Linux pro’s in the next six months. And, while talent isn’t bounded by geography, sometimes access to advanced Linux training has been limited. Employers are seeking Linux professionals in a market where not enough exist, while professionals struggle to find affordable, accessible training opportunities to advance their careers.' That's obviously a nice problem for the Linux community to have, since it makes Linux skills even more valuable. One obvious way of tackling that problem is through a MOOC, as here: 'The Linux Foundation and edX are partnering to develop a MOOC program that will help address this issue by making basic Linux training materials available to all for free. Previously a $2,400 course, Introduction to Linux will be the first class available as a MOOC and will be free to anyone, anywhere. The Linux Foundation is among a new group of member organizations edX announced today who will contribute courses to the platform.' What's particularly welcome about this new MOOC programme is that it opens up professional training to a whole new category of people that hitherto have been unable to afford these kind of fees, however reasonable they may be. That kind of democratisation of knowledge is entirely of a piece with the other ways in which Linux has been breaking down barriers for over two decades.

Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:34:38 +0530 From: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> >From Prof. Peter Suber, Harvard MIT Libraries News >> Blog Archive >> Worldwide access of MIT-authored articles reflects success of Faculty Open Access Policy<http://libraries.mit.edu/news/worldwide-access/13908/> Posted: 09 Mar 2014 07:44 AM PDT "As we mark the fifth anniversary of the MIT Faculty Open Access Policy, the benefits to readers worldwide grow more apparent with each passing month. Readers regularly download MIT authored articles from DSpace@MITfrom all corners of the globe: Thirty-three percent of the access is from the United States, with heavy use from the research and population centers of China, India, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Republic of Korea, Japan, and France, in that order. But downloads are requested from all over the world -- Sweden, Brazil, Poland, Israel, and Malaysia each have accounted for about 1% of the total downloads, while the several hundred downloads from each of the African nations of Sudan, Ghana, and Uganda account for about .02%, .03%, and .04% of downloads, respectively. In 2013, downloads were requested from the Federated Republic of Micronesia and Burundi for the first time, and there have been four downloads from Greenland. The message of these downloads is clear -- five years from its inception, the faculty's goal in adopting the MIT Faculty Open Access Policy, to 'disseminat[e] the fruits of [their] research and scholarship as widely as possible,' is being met."

Launch of Open Access Workflows for Academic Librarians (OAWAL)
by Shamprasad Pujar 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Dear Members, FYI. Details available in the forwarded message. Regards, S M Pujar IGIDR, Mumbai ----------------- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jill Emery <jill.emery(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Mar 6, 2014 at 6:29 AM Subject: [DIGLIB] Launch of Open Access Workflows for Academic Librarians (OAWAL) To: "diglib(a)infoserv.inist.fr" <diglib(a)infoserv.inist.fr> Given the rapid expansion of open access content both by commercial entities and academic institutions, Graham Stone, University of Huddersfield and Jill Emery, Portland State University have created a wiki/blog encapsulating the major building blocks of open access management in the academic library setting. The intention of OAWAL is that it will be an openly accessible wiki/blog site for librarians working on the management of open access content. We hope that librarians can build on OAWAL to create context sensitive workflows at their given institutions. We are crowdsourcing feedback from the scholarly communication community currently working with open access management to see if these concept overviews are of value and if there are others that should be included. You can find OAWAL at: https://library3.hud.ac.uk/blogs/oawal/ You can submit feedback to this project via the comments sections of the blog or directly via email to Graham Stone G.Stone(a)hud.ac.uk<mailto:G.Stone@hud.ac.uk> or Jill Emery Jill.Emery(a)gmail.com<mailto:Jill.Emery@gmail.com> We also encourage anyone who has existing workflows in place to share these with us in order to help build a repository of OA management examples. We will also be hosting roundtable discussions on this project at ER&L, if attending please join us for this discussion: Introducing OAWAL: crowdsourcing best practices for open access workflows in academic libraries. In: Electronic Resources & Libraries 2014, 16-19 March 2014, AT&T Conference Center Austin, Texas. We hope you find this wiki/blog helpful and we look forward to receiving your feedback. All the best, Graham & Jill -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] E-resource management with Koha - Implemented at UoM
by Mailing List Admin 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2014 22:01:10 +0100 From: Ishwar Goudar <goudarishwar(a)googlemail.com> Dear Professionals, I appreciate Mr. V.K. Mishra*s suggestion of ERM using Koha. Yes, we can use Koha for giving access to E-books, with full texts being available at Publishers´ or local server. We at University of Mysore have implemented this idea 3 years back itself and have provided access to full texts of > 18,000 books of four publishers put together viz. Springer, T & F, Wiley and CRC Press. Please search UoM Library OPAC available at http://libcatmysore-koha.informindia.co.in/ Each e-book is accessioned satisfying the audit requirements by using 4 letter prefix different for different publishers, say EBSP..... for Springer. This technique facilitates us to display all Springer book at one go by searching barcode in Advanced search. The main advantage of using LMS like Koha for this application is that one can search all e-books of all publishers including the OA books archived on local server. On the other hand if we depend only on publishers site, we will have to search for books on the subjects of our interest through as many servers as number of publishers, unless we license the access through Aggregators like e-brary. We have given access to full texts only through LAN of the Varsity including WiFi. But any body can reach Contents page of book of his/her choice. Full text access could be extended through remote access using interface like OCLC´s Ezproxy. Koha´s feature of displaying cover page makes this much more user friendly. All publishers are bound to make available the MARC records and the same could be part of our OPAC. Providing full text access to E-books is only a part of ERM. Koha is not a full pledged ERM System like ExLibris´s ALMA or EBSCO´s ERM. A combination of ILS and ERMS will make an ideal system to manage both Print and E-Resources including all house keeping activities and workflows. One day or the other we will have to adopt new system. But definitely KOHA is a wonderful OA-ILS system with many attractive features, which we can adopt easily by all school libraries to public libraries to university libraries, irrespective number of holdings. - - - - - - - - Dr. I.R.N.

Dear LIS Professionals, Open Education Week <http://www.openeducationweek.org> is a celebration of the global Open Education Movement. Its purpose is to raise awareness about the movement and its impact on teaching and learning worldwide. Libraries can and should support open education. But before libraries do so, it is useful to understand the open education movement as a whole, including some of the key challenges facing both OERs and MOOCs and how libraries are well positioned to help address these challenges. ACRL White Paper "Environmental Scan of OERs, MOOCs, and Libraries: What Effectiveness and Sustainability Means for Libraries’ Impact on Open Education" enables us understand the open education movement and our professional obligation to promote universal, affordable, quality education.

MHRD - IIT Mumbai Spoken Tutorial Project
by Sandeep Bhavsar 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Respected All http://www.spoken-tutorial.org/ The Spoken Tutorial project is the initiative of the *'Talk to a Teacher'*activity of the *National Mission on Education *through *Information and Communication Technology (ICT)*, launched by the *Ministry of Human Resources and Development*, *Government of India* and IIT Mumbai *The Spoken Tutorial project is about teaching and learning a particular FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) like Linux, Scilab, LaTeX, PHP & MySQL, Java, C/C++, LibreOffice etc. via an easy Video tool - Spoken Tutorials. Some of the salient features of SELF (Spoken Tutorial based Education and Learning through Free FOSS study) Workshops are as follows. * 1. This distance education method is highly conducive to self-learning. 2. Once one gets started any student or faculty can master the FOSS. 3. *UG, PG or research scholar students and even teachers of Science, IT, Engineering, Commerce, Management, MCA disciplines can learn any of the FOSS. * 4. Typically, the first workshop at any college is of 2 hours duration. Timing at the group's convenience. 5. To start of, any college which is organising the workshop needs to get a computer lab ready with machines that support sound and have internet connectivity. There is no lower or upper limit on the number of participants. This just depends on the number of computers available. For additional participants, laptops if available can be used. 6. The main organiser's computer should have a webcam via which the Spoken Tutorial team can monitor the workshop over Skype. 7. Within a month of the workshop, participants take an assessment test and on clearing it get certificates from Spoken Tutorial Project, IIT Bombay. *As a first step, the organiser typically a faculty member must register on the Spoken Tutorial site and become authorised to request and conduct training workshops in his/her college. The organiser can also identify student volunteers to publicise and help with the workshop. Students have a lot of energy and are very enthusiastic about such activities. Student volunteers get a special certificate, and a T-shirt! They also develop Event management and Project coordination skills. . * *Regards * *Sandeep Bhavsar* B.com, M.Lib.I.Sc SET, M.Phil, American Library Association - FERA 2011 fellow Librarian Dr. V N Bedekar Institute of Management Studies Thane (W) 400601 Mumbai INDIA Mobile : 9987049099 www.vpmthane.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

National Workshop on Management of E-resources in Academic Libraries
by Vijayakumar K P 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Please post the details of the Workshop in the LIS Forum. Vijayakumar K P Head, DLIS, University of Kerala Trivandrum *National Workshop on* *Management of E-resources in Academic Libraries* *20** - 22 March 2014* *Organized by* *Department of Library and Information Science **University of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram - 695 034* *Kerala, India* *Introduction* A tremendous shift is taking place in libraries towards purchasing information resources, with a major portion of the budget being allocated to the acquisition of e-resources. As libraries build ever-larger collections of electronic resources, finding ways to manage them efficiently becomes a major challenge. The number of electronic journals, citation databases, and full-text aggregations held by most libraries has grown rapidly. Managing these electronic resources involves providing the library's user with convenient ways to find and access them and providing library staff with the tools to keep track of them. Libraries subscribe to electronic content in a number of different ways. Some publishers offer packages that include many electronic journals, some products may include electronic journals from many different publishers, and libraries acquire some electronic journals individually. Abstracting-and-indexing (A&I) products include citations to articles in journals from many different publishers. And since not everything is in electronic form, print resources cannot be neglected. There are two fundamental aspects to managing electronic resources: 1. The front-end details of delivering the content to library users, and 2. Managing the business details of back-end staff functions related to acquisition, payment, and licensing. But the situation in India is such that many of the library professionals including library mangers are incapable of handling the issue due to their unfamiliarity with the situation. The result is that many of them have to learn the techniques of management of e-resources by trial and error method.
