Great public libraries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Friends: Vancouver and Montreal, both in Canada, have the best public libraries in the world, says a recent study carried out by scholars in a German University. Read this news story (from LA Times). Indian libraries and librarians can learn from the experiences of these libraries. Arun Two Canadian cities have world's best public libraries, survey finds December 20, 2013 <http://articles.latimes.com/2013/dec/20>|By Hector Tobar Two *Canadian cities*, Vancouver <http://www.vpl.ca/> and Montreal<http://bibliomontreal.com/>, have the world's best *public library* systems, according to a new survey by German researchers<http://www.phil-fak.uni-duesseldorf.de/fileadmin/Redaktion/Institute/Inform…> . Library mavens at the *Heinrich Heine* University in Dusseldorf studied libraries in 31 major *world cities*, from London and *Los Angeles*, and from Shanghai to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Los Angeles finished in the middle of the pack in the ranking (16th), which took into account the wide array of services that libraries provide to their readers, including availability of printed books and digital information. [image: http://articles.latimes.com/images/pixel.gif] Two U.S. *library systems* finished third and fourth: Chicago and San Francisco. And the very bottom of the rankings were London (30th) and Dubai (31st). "Vancouver is a world-class city and we're extremely pleased and humbled to be recognized as a top world-class library," Vancouver's chief librarian Sandra Singh told the Province<http://www.theprovince.com/news/Vancouver+Public+Library+shares+honour+with…>. "It's gratifying to be in such esteemed library company..." The New *York Public Library* system (ranked 9th overall), scored at the top in terms of digital services, while Montreal was judged to have the best physical facilities and book collection. But Dubai scored at the bottom of both categories, with judges saying they were surprised to find a a mere 10 PCs for patrons. "This old-fashioned public library is in stark contrast to the glittering face of Dubai," the report said. The researchers also took into account the library systems' efforts to reach out to readers. The New York and Los Angeles systems were the two most active libraries on Twitter. But the Vancouver library Twitter feed was quite active too. "Short day, long night. Bright night," the library tweeted Friday morning<https://twitter.com/VPL>. "The Winter Solstice Lantern Festival, tomorrow." A recent survey<https://www.vpl.ca/news/details/vpl_no._1_among_world_libraries_ties_with_m…> conducted for the Vancouver library found that 78% of Vancouverites have visited the library in the last year. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Formation of "Librarians" Federation
by Ashok Asundi 23 Feb '14

23 Feb '14

Dear all professional fraternity, I wanted to be kept away from this as it might raise some controversies. Last time I wrote on Plagiarism, it was relished by few but resented by many. I know there are some basic flaws in the formation of this Federation. First it should reflect the Profession and not positions (it is named as Librarians, but not Library.) as we see medical, Bar council, Engineers' associations etc., and as I see it from my little knowledge in forming a group of 'like minded' people, an Association, a Trust a Society should have broad base. As seen in the formation of the Federation, the first thing is a procedural lacuna. When we form an association, we call first a meeting of promoters then discuss, decide on forming, then we prepare a draft Memorandum of Association, (not Bi-law as Mr.Shekar has mentioned - it should be Bye Laws). Then one of the promoters will prepare to submit a set of documents - Names, designations, occupations, age, addresses of people (Max. 15) etc., along with the Bye Laws with a prescribed fees to the Registrar of Societies (not Registrar of Cooperative Societies). After the Registration process is completed the Registrar will issue you a Certificate of Registration, then the Promoters/Founders will meet and elect the office-bearers. This Federation has already announced the names of Office-bearers, in this context I want to know whether the Federation is Registered, when and what is the Registration No., and so on. I don't see any of this procedure is conformed to or not as the meeting was held on 15.02.2014 and as Mr. Shekar states the Bi-laws are under preparation, what is the date of registration, Registration no., and when promoters met and decided form the body and the election/nomination/selection of Office Bearers. If the procedure is not followed and yet to be conformed to, without the Memorandum of the Association, there is no locus standi for this Federation and collection of any membership announcement may lead to be illegal act. I would also like to add at this juncture, our Associations are not bound by and not under the Indian Labour Act, 1948 and cannot resort to Agitations and Strikes, only after all means and ways have been gone through, and as a last resort, we may indulge into them, and the cause should be social, as Libraries are social and service institutions and not-for-profit organisations. I wish that all professional should, at this juncture come together, do brainstorming, discuss their problems (not only on CAS, Scales, but on Status, Professional identity etc.) and come to a conclusion to form a federation in a systematic and procedural manner. What happened to some of the Associations formed with a bang and now almost no news, for instance, Indian Academic Librarians Association. Indian Library profession has lacked proper leadership, and intent to say a Spade a Spade, and lead all professionals in a homogenous manner. It has been happening since the days our first national association was formed. We must learn lessons from the past and move forward to achieve success and De-accustomize to the game of divide and rule, which had made this country suffer the colonial rule for 200 years. One of my close friend in the University would say often "Only Gandhi's will be shot dead in this Country" and the fraudulent will make merry. I appeal to all professionals to come together and discuss the issues. I think KALA is a right platform of ours as it has a history of not 25 years but of nearly 50 years. Come and join us, we have a wonderful team now, on my part I will associate myself well for the cause of the profession. With regards, Prof.A.Y.Asundi Professor and Chairman (Ret.) Department of Library and Information Science and Officer in charge, IT Centre, Bangalore University, Bangalore - 560056. # 77 3rd Main Road, Prashantanagar, Bangalore - 560079.

Are research networking sites really OA?
by Subbiah Arunachalam 22 Feb '14

22 Feb '14

An excellent article on sites such as Academia.edu and why they are not really open access: < http://blogs.lt.vt.edu/openvt/2014/02/21/research-networking-sites-and-open… >. Arun Research Networking Sites and Open Access by PHILIP YOUNG <http://blogs.lt.vt.edu/openvt/author/pyoung1/> posted on FEBRUARY 21, 2014<http://blogs.lt.vt.edu/openvt/2014/02/21/research-networking-sites-and-open…> *The Chronicle of Higher Education*'s Vitae site has a post today titled Should You Share Your Research on Academia.edu?<https://chroniclevitae.com/news/345-should-you-share-your-research-on-acade…>Research networking sites may provide services that researchers value- I don't know because I haven't signed up for any of them- but they do not provide open access. In a recent post, Beyond Elsevier<http://blogs.lt.vt.edu/openvt/2013/12/22/beyond-elsevier/>, I mentioned that Academia.edu has the only copy of this paper<http://www.academia.edu/3588790/Exposing_Scholarly_Information_as_Linked_Op…> I was looking for. While it is readable on the screen, if you click the "Download" button, you are prompted to sign in. This is not an open access paper. Open access does not require signing in or downloading software, and it enables uses beyond reading. The Budapest Open Access Initiative<http://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/boai-10-recommendations> states: By "open access" to [peer-reviewed research literature], we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. This paper is essentially being used as bait to sign up new users (if you want do anything other than read a long scroll through small text). Personally, I would not want my work used as an enticement to attract new members to a for-profit site without a business model. We can predict that these sites will find a way to monetize personal information, which raises the question of whether this is a good example for researchers to set for graduate students and future scholars. The marketing pitches of these sites should be taken with more than a few grains of salt. Given the many, many existing institutional and disciplinary repositories that are already providing full open access, their talk of "sharing" and "dissemination" are marketing Kool-Aid. They may not have paywalls, but they do have log-in walls, and those are a barrier for anyone who does not want to trade their privacy for access. Additionally, some of the services treated in a "gee whiz" manner in the *Chronicle* article, such as statistics on views and downloads, have been available in most repositories for years. Academia.edu is hardly the only research networking site (since none of its competitors are mentioned, was there a *quid pro quo*between the *Chronicle* and Academia.edu?). If colleagues in your field are members of different "silos" such as Mendeley or ResearchGate, do you need to join all of them, with their various terms of use and privacy policies? The existence of these silos undermines their claims of "sharing" and "dissemination"- activities that they are clearly not providing on a network level. I hope that those wanting to take advantage of the networking capabilities on these sites will also post their work on the open web, preferably in an institutional or disciplinary repository. The private sector is again in the lead in providing services, though it should be remembered that the privatization of knowledge typically hasn't turned out well (and remember, Mendeley is now owned by Elsevier). Eventually, non-market research networking options will appear and (I hope) disintermediate these private silos. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS FEDERATION formed at Bangalore-reg
by Shekar H P 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Dear Professional Friends, Greetings for the day…and Apology for cross posting...!!! I wanted to respond to the postings made by Dr. IRN Goudar, Dr.Siddamallaiah and other KALA Members on the formation of LIS Federation in Bangalore. 1. I always respect my seniors and my sincere salutes for their valid responses / Comments. It was expected. Even though effort was appreciated by many others, few objections were raised by KALA members only as if thinking that it is one more parallel association with KALA. But it is not. 2. First thing I want to clear that, I am not the founder of this federation as commented in the LIS FORUM postings. I joined the team as a last person on request made by few members of the existing GB. Accepted their invitation, attended the last meeting, the committee assigned me a job to post this message (received from the President and General Secretary of the Federation) in different forums…. I did it with good intension. Following formalities in the formation of a Federation, seeking their concurrence, preparations / homework made etc, may be replied by the General Secretary and others who took initiative from the beginning. For your kind information, Governing council members are all well experienced (more than 20years) knowledgeable and they are able to think before taking any decisions. I request my super seniors not to convey wrong interpretations to the professional friends on me please. 3. Secondly, except KALA, all the other associations in Karnataka, like KSCLA, AKELPA, Karnataka Medical Library Association, KASULA, KSSC/STLA, SIS Bangalore Chapter all are doing their best in the professional activities. Each association is able and stable for fighting with the government. They are doing it and succeeded/benefitted for some extend. And hats off to MyLISA, and its team too for their innovative activities as you all aware. I have very good relation with all these associations and their activities; my sincere appeal to Dr. Goudar and Sunil not to divide us. 4. Thirdly, we respect KALA more. But as a professional, I was not happy with the objectives and activities of KALA. As this has got a statutory power in the state (output?), poor academic Library professionals expects more from the association in the present critical circumstances compare to the past 30plus years. This is not happening. I discussed with few senior members of KALA also but it was in vain. Simple Ex: Discussion on the Formation of a Federation, started in KALA six years ago (as told by Dr. HSS), but still under preparation (as posted by Dr.IRNG). This is KALA. If anybody hurt with this statement, (I am also a member and hurt me too) I am sorry. 5. Fourth, I may be poor in just posting polished statements like Dr. Sunil and few of others, but more interested in putting thoughts into practice. Hurdles always are there and I am of the habit of accepting best ones and converting the criticism into best suggestions. Thanks for the criticisms- created food for fruitful discussion. Lastly, we the like-minded professionals have initiated / created the platform for open discussion with a good intention. Still it is in primary stage. As I knew, the present Governing body is also tentative one. This is the high time. Let all of us sit together, offer suggestions, workout the modalities of formation, bye- law etc. Let anybody take the lead, we will support them. I will be happy to participate without prejudice in any of the professional meeting called by any association in this regard including KALA. Ultimately purpose should be served, help the budding librarians and save the library profession. Once again, my intention is not to hurt any individual or divide an association. Miss understanding is highly regretted. Thanks for the forum once again….!!! -- *Dr. Shekar H.P.* Head, Knowledge Resource Centre IBS Business School, #231, Near Kengeri Check post Mysore Road, Bangalore-560060 Karnataka - India Ph: (O): 080-66222244 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

LIS FEDERATION Formed at Bangalore-reg
by Shekar H P 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Dear All, GREETINGS FOR THE DAY....!!! It is good to see the postings of Dr. IRN Goudar and the suggestions / opinions expressed by other professional friends across India too. I am closely watching the activities of most of the LIS associations in India since 23 years. As you all know, none of the association in the state / India thinking in this direction (as pointed out by IRN Goudar) and raising their voice. It is true that, we cannot ignore the share of past Presidents of different LIS associations and their teams too. On the other side, Congratulations to S.L.Faisal and his team of KendriyaVidyalaya Library professionals who took a lead and preparing manual. We should appreciate their effort. Hope you all agree with me, just finding fault on others and teaching Vedanta through some forums is very easy. But the contribution of every individual counts in implementing /achieving these goals and objectives. Since most of the associations have their own objectives limited to their service environment / platforms like PU Colleges / First grade Colleges / Universities etc., it is difficult for them to think broadly profession as a whole and concentrating on the Policy issues / Procedure/ Decisions etc taking place in the professional field. As expressed by one of the senior Professor N. Laxman Rao 'the problems are increasing year after the year. Especially now the status and facilities given to academic librarians is at stake. One after the other the facilities are being removed. It is true that our recognition is going from bad to worse. It is high time that the Associations take lead and do something for the profession'. Sri.N.V.Satyanaraya, CMD, Informatics India, also rightly pointed out (during the general body meeting of KALA recently) and gave a call to all the regional / national LIS professional associations to unite under one tree and form a FEDERATION to take lead in the state / National level. So that there will be a strength to fight for the cause. But even after so many postings / discussions none of the professional association opens up their mouth and ready to shoulder the responsibility. Based on these grounds, in the interest of the budding librarians and the professional zeal, we are happy to announce that, like minded Senior LIS professionals of the State, Office bearers of different associations with the representatives (belongs to both Govt. and Private college libraries) of PU Colleges, First grade Colleges, Universities, Law, Medical, Engineering, B.Ed/TCH, Polytechnics, Business Schools, Public Libraries etc. have decided to shoulder the responsibility, joined together and formed a FEDERATION – An Apex body of LIS professionals in the state and a Common platform to fight for the real cause within the state and Govt. of India / UGC as well.

Connemara Public Library

Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2014 09:48:12 +0530 From: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> Libraries are built, maintained and nurtured around the world. There are academic and scholarly libraries, special libraries for different professions like law and medicine, children's libraries, school libraries, Parliament libraries, and so on. But the most important among them are the public libraries. There is a large variation in the size of public libraries - from the small public libraries in small towns supported by different State Governments in India to the very large Library of Congress and the British Library. These libraries are not only places for people to read books but they perform a variety of other functions. They are centres of community action. And in certain cases they are also examples of great architecture and beautiful buildings. Here is a selection of 25 beautiful libraries. Chennai can be proud to find Connemara Public Library in the list. Visit and enjoy some stunning photographs: <*http://flavorwire.com/280318/the-25-most-beautiful-public-libraries-in-the-world/ <http://flavorwire.com/280318/the-25-most-beautiful-public-libraries-in-the-…>* >.

Librarians pay scale downgraded in Delhi Govt. Schools
by Anil Singh 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

It is unfortunate that Delhi Govt has downgraded the pay scale of school librarians in all the govt. schools of Delhi (Click the Link give below). Earlier they were getting PB2+4600 which was equivalent to TGTs, but now it is PB2+4200 which is at par with PRTs. Such type of anomalies happens in our profession only. Recently CBSE introduced Library science course in CBSE affiliated schools where Librarians have to teach library science courses to class XI students which means they are doing the job of TGTs (Librarian) and as well as PGTs (Teacher). KVS has re-designated their Librarians as TGT (Library science) which are in the pay scale of PB2+GP4600. Now the conclusion is that Delhi Govt. school Librarians will get the pay scale of PRTs and have to perform the duties of TGTs and PGTs. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzaDCDNkA90eOGRNelZvNnR5QlU/edit -- with regards, Anil Singh Assistant Director (LS) Office of the Director General Competition Commission of India (CCI) (Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Govt. of India) 'B' Wing, HUDCO VISHALA, 14, Bhikaji Cama Place, New Delhi - 110066 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Serious Injustice towards School Librarian in NCT Delhi
by Gautam Bharti 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

Respected Knowledgeable friends, There is report from Astt. Director regarding the lowering of Grade Pay from 4600 to 4200 of Librarians in NCT Delhi. Though the Librarians mostly deal with the students from VI to XII, whereas the subject teachers who are teaching from class VI to VIII are considered as TGT with Grade Pay 4600. Then why this kind of injustice is being done towards Librarian? The report has asked even for recovery of amount paid since 1-1-2006 (6th CPC). I think the professional who are on some reputed level should take this matter and guide the school librarians how to tackle this problem. -- Goutam Kumar Bharti Librarian Kendriya Vidyalaya Karimganj, Assam 08399964075 gautamkbharti(a)gmail.com gkbharti2003(a)yahoo.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Kendriya Vidyalays to implement New Library Policy and Procedure Manual 2013
by faisal sl 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Dear All, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) is the premier organization in School Education sector in the country administering1094 schools (Kendriya Vidyalayas) and catering more than 11 lakh students (as on 31.01.2013). Since its inception in 1963, Libraries have been given with utmost importance and been considered as integral for the academic excellence of the learners and teachers. In 2011, a national level Committee was formed to assess the status of KV Libraries and to revise the existing Library Policy, to integrate it with the dynamically changing learning environments. The objective was to redesign the entire KV Library System and set new standards and guidelines. Suggestions were invited from all stakeholders including library professionals, administrators and Associations. Meetings were held at different levels. The Members visited many reputed school libraries. They studied the situation in other countries and went through their school library standards and manuals. It was found that, although all KVs having own libraries, physical and intellectual (collection) status varies. After careful deliberations, the Committee brought out a draft proposal in 2012 and that was circulated among all Kendriya Vidyalayas around the country. The suggestions and comments received were considered during the final preparation of the Policy. The document consists of two parts (i) Library Policy and (ii) Procedure Manual. The chapters include (i) Resources (ii) Staffing (iii) Library Management (iii) Library Services and Activities and (vi) Monitoring and Evaluation. The Appendices include Annual Library Activity Plan (ALAP), Model Library Furniture Designs, Suggested Periodicals, Librarians' Diary, etc. The need of recruiting a Library Assistant was stated in the proposal with all details including his/her qualifications and duties and responsibilities. The Committee also proposed to rename the Librarians as TGT(LIS) to bring them into the academic stream and status. There are many more changes in the document to take KV Libraries into global level. KVS has approved the new Library Policy and to recruit Library Assistants in big schools. The renaming of Librarians as TGT (LIS) has also been considered and will be finalized soon. We hope that the New Library Policy and Procedure Manual will reshape the Library scenario in KVs and will set an example for other school systems. At this juncture, on behalf of all KV Librarians and as a Member of the Committee, I would like to appreciate Kendriya Vidyalya Sangathan to take this bold step and congratulate all KV Librarians who shared their time and efforts to make this venture a great success. The Members of KV Librarians Network ( http://kvlibrarians.grou.ps/) deserve special appreciation. I also thank AIKVTA and other professional bodies to support our cause. This was a team effort and all credit goes to KV Librarians around the country.

Re: [LIS-Forum] KV's New Lib. Policy and Procedure Manual 2013, Best Ex. for UGC to Follow
by Ishwar Goudar 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Dear Professionals, Let us congratulate KVS, its authorities and members of the committee concerned and other KV Librarians, specfically Mr. Faisal, who took lot of interest and initiative in bringing out " New Library Policy and Procedures 2013 for KV Schools. This has put all KV Libraries in proper perspective including adoption of ICT for services, status of Librarian, additional staff, good collection building, appropriate furniture and other infrastructure, evaluation of performance, stoppage of unnecessary harassment of librarins, etc. They also conduct high quality Refresher Cources for Librarians by KVS Regional Centres. I had opportunity of addressing this group twice at Mysore. I was really impressed with the program and some of the initiatives they have taken. Some of them want to pursue PhD. Good luck for all those who take further steps in this matter. I hope all KV Librarians take the advantage of these developments and provide quality services for the benefit of school children, who's demands are increasing especially due their prelearnt ICT skills and bring good name to the profession. *UGC and Univ. Librarians May Take a Note:* The KVS has set an example for others, especially many Universities in the country, thousands degree colleges and PU colleges to follow the suit. The UGC should take an initiative in this matter and form a committee (I don't know whether such committee was set up earlier, and if there was one what is the outcome) consisting of: 4-5 Univ Librarians, who have excelled in thier career and have been successful in reshaping their libraries; 1-2 VCs; Director Inflibnet; Administartive and Finance Heads of UGC; 1-2 outside librarians from CSIR and DRDO as they have broughout similar Manual already with Vice Chairman of UGC as its Chairman. This is required as many university libraries are in bad shape due to various reasons like scarcity of staff including nonavailabilty of Univ Librarian, paucity of funds and infrastructure, apathy of management, disinterest of Library staff both towards service and equipmping themselves with ICT skills, step motherly treatment in terms of service conditions, etc. Regards, ---------------------- Dr. I.R.N.
