UGC Infonet Digital Library Consortium discontinued...!
by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

UGC Infonet Digital Library Consortium discontinued...There is a message running over the header image of UGC Infonet Project website stating that the Project is closed from 31st of March 2012. Yesterday universities received e-mails from INFLIBNET authorities that the UGC Infonet Digital Library Consortium has been discontinued in 12th plan due to paucity of funds.Not able to understand what is happening...!If the universities are trying to subscribe to these journals we will not be able to get even one by tenth of the facilities we get through infonet. This leads to a scary situation. In the 70s and 80s people had to run to big institutions like IISc and IITs to get access to such academic literature. After INFLIBNET came into existence the huge divide existed for access to academic literature was to an extent avoided. Now those days are here again. Authorities at the UGC should take up this issue very seriously and continue with the digital library consortium. Hope the co! nfusion will be over in no days. Dr GOPAKUMAR V.

It is about making scientific research available to anyone and anywhere in the world, to read and access and build upon... so people can do interesting things, and work in new ways with the material. The idea is to make research material more valuable. The history of the model is that publishing scientific manuscripts, especially ones with complexed, detailed, colored figures was expensive. So, if you wanted your article to be distributed widely, you sent it to commercial publishers and then they would manage the review process and communications with the reviewers and revisions and once it gets accepted and the they handled typesetting and printing and distribution of your scientific work... " Please make it convenient to attend.

Thanks for an interesting link to LIS-FORUM study / results. I am happy to see that even after 'retiring' from active librarianship in 2000 my name is found among top nine contributors! If some data about total number of subscribers to LIS-Forum (how it has increased from inception is given that will be useful.I vaguely remember that the number of subscribers was around 800 at one point of time. Future similar studies may perhaps take into account: 1.Length of thread of topics 2.Intensity of discussion in terms of period (say x messages in y days) 1 will indicate what type of topics draw interest 2 will indicate topicality (congratulations / condolence / examination) Dr P Vyasamoorthy President: Society for Serving Seniors 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015.

FASTEST EVER BROADBAND SPEEDS ACHIEVED
by Ragaavendra R 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

Dear Moderator pls circulate. FASTEST EVER BROADBAND SPEEDS ACHIEVED In a breakthrough, scientists in the UK have achieved the "fastest ever" broadband speeds of 1.4 terabits per second - enough to transmit 44 high-definition movies at once. The joint test by British Telecom (BT) and French networking equipment company Alcatel-Lucent achieved the high speeds of 1.4 terabits per second on the existing fibre network in London. The breakthrough is being seen as highly important for internet service providers (ISPs), as it means a greater amount of information can be sent through existing broadband infrastructure, reducing the need for costly upgrades. There are faster methods of transmitting data - such as the use of complex laser technology - but this is the first test to achieve such high speeds in "real world" conditions, outside testing labs, 'BBC News' reported. The test was conducted in October and November last year, on a line from BT Tower in central London and the company's research campus near Ipswich. Kevin Drury, optical marketing leader at Alcatel-Lucent, likened the development to reducing space between lanes on a busy motorway, enabling more lanes of traffic to flow through the same area. He said flexibility meant some could be adapted to specific needs - like opening an extra lane during the morning rush hour. In internet terms, this would mean, for example, streaming video would get a large, wide lane, while accessing standard web pages would need only a small part of the fibre's capacity.

Dear Moderator pls circulate. FREE WIFI ON M.G. ROAD AND BRIGADE ROAD FROM FRIDAY Visitors to M G Road, Brigade Road and four other locations in the city will be able to enjoy free wireless Internet connectivity from Friday. Called 'Namma Wifi', it is stated to be the first such service in the country. It will be formally launched near Metro station on M.G. Road. To access free wifi in the hotspots, users will have to open their browser, which will take them to the "Namma Wifi" page. They have to key in their mobile phone number to which a password would be sent. Once the password is keyed in, the user can browse the net free for 30 minutes in 24 hours. Users can expect internet speeds of about 512 kbps, sources said. There will, however, be restrictions on accessing certain websites. The service will also be available at Traffic and Transmit Management Centres (TTMCs) at Shanthinagar, Yeshwanthpur and Koramangala, besides CMH Road in Indiranagar, sources in the IT department said. The launch will fulfil a promise made by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in his last budget speech. The government has tied up with D-VoiS, a private internet service provider, to execute the project. Namma Wifi will, in due course, be extended to 10 more places in Bangalore, the sources said. Plans are also afoot to provide similar service in Mysore, Mangalore, Hubli-Dharwad and some other towns in north Karnataka in the coming months.

by Vimal Kumar V. 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Dear Friends, Most of the libraries have installed Koha in ordinary computer and they shut down it after working hours. Fine will not calculate in this context. Fine calculation in Koha occur in 12 AM midnight. You can manage fine calculation by running fine calculation script. Here is the method, Open *Applications > Accessories > Terminal* Apply following commands, *sudo su* *cd /etc/cron.daily/* *./koha-common* Run this script at opening hour of the library.

Scaling of Universities..
by Prabhat Ranjan 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Dear Colleagues/Experts, Some decades before, admissions to various courses (including medical science and engineering) were organized on the basis of board and university marks. But due to differences in level of markings among the universities/boards, a new system - competitive examinations were adopted. In this way, the importance of marks in universities/boards deteriorated. Evaluation system of all the universities/boards are not similarly effective and marks provided by them do not reflect the ability of a student at a national parameter. In the same fashion, UGC brought NET. But it is also being experienced that competitive examinations too are not much successful in selection of meritorious candidates. It is proved by question papers out in various examinations at several occasions. I think that there should be scaling indexes of universities/boards by UGC and apex bodies so that it can be determined marks provided by universities/boards are at which positions. It is my humble suggestions. Experts from LIS and other fields are invited to make it appropriate/rejected. Regards, -- *Prabhat Ranjan*, (PhD Student in University of Pune) M.L.I.Sc. (NET), B.Sc.

Prof. Shalin R Urs – Executive Director, ISiM Speaks at the Valedictory of the 20th Refresher course at MyDLIS-ASC-UoM
by Umesh M. L. 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

On Thursday , 16th Jan’ 2014, curtains came down and it was time to bid good bye to nearly 40 participants who attended the refresher course in LIS at the Academic Staff College, University of Mysore , Mysore. “When you are in love, awe and admiration it gets communicated” said Prof. Khaiser Nikam in her opening remarks while welcoming Prof. Shalini R Urs, who incidentally had reached a mile stone in her carrier by completing 38 years of service as a faculty at the University of Mysore on the 16th of Jan 2014. She was the key speaker and the chief guest for the valedictory of the 20th Refresher Course at MyDLIS-ASC-UoM, Mysore, which was jointly organized by Academic Staff College and MyDLIS (Department of Library and Information Science), University of Mysore, Mysore. Prof. Khaiser, the course coordinator & Chairperson MyDLIS, was a bit emotional and said the 20th refresher course would not have been complete and there would be a vacuum if she had not got Prof. Shalini R Urs, an internationally acclaimed academic, most sought after speaker in prestigious meets, conferences and a frequent flyer and a globe trotter, to address the participants. The participants were very lucky to hear her, give an appropriate message in her valedictory address. HERE IT GOES!!! Purpose of refresher course is to refresh: it is same as in digital world, where refresh button is clicked to get the updated content if it is NOT getting updated automatically. The libraries and profession of librarianship are in a perpetual state of flux for a variety of reasons said Prof. Shalini Urs while speaking at the valedictory function of 20th refresh course in Library and Information Science on the theme“Supporting Academic Best Practices by LIS Professionals”, Prof. Shalini Urs touched upon two major issues in her talk-- (i) to understand that Library as an Institution and LIS as a Profession are distinct and their future is also different and (ii) repositioning libraries and LIS to support academic best practices throughout the entire life cycle of information and move away from access focus. The future of libraries will remain great, that does not mean that the future of the LIS profession as we know it today, will also be great. Historically libraries (Ex: Alexandria) are a millennia old and while LIS, as profession is about 150 years old, therefore as profession we are very young. Libraries being part and parcel of our civilization are revered and respected institutions. Now there is a need to re imagine the library in context of transformative changes that are happening. Libraries shall continue to stay, so also the profession. But, Alas! We may not be part of it. We may lose control over both because of the ICTs, which have transformed them. We may have to reclaim it! To maintain our leadership, we will have to reposition and be there throughout the entire life cycle of information and not just the consumption end. Historically libraries (and LIS professionals) have been supporting the academia in the ‘consumption/use’ end and not at the ‘creation/generation’ end. Academic best practices means supporting academic integrity (Ex: avoiding plagiarism) etc. The role of our profession is secondary and it means we are in the service sector to give service to the library users. The primary function of the academia is to read, write and talk. Libraries so far have focused mainly on assisting the reading function of its customers than the writing function. Internet is free and it supports the reading/access function very well. Countries like Brunei, Malaysia, which I have visited have surged ahead both in economic development as well as in supporting academic best practices. A country like Malaysia, which got independence at the same time as India, is way ahead in supporting writing function- style guides, Referencing; inculcating academic integrity (helping in avoiding Plagiarism-which is equal to actual theft)- said Prof. Urs. Things like ‘Turnitin’, a cloud base plagiarism detection tool which teachers, students, journal editors use to maintain quality in academic output may be introduced to the readers-just an example. Metaphorically LIS professionals should become like ‘Turnitin’ supporting best practices. If consumption of information is one end of information cycle the other end is information generation. Apart from traditional information management tool like catalogues etc., reference management systems must be provided to the users (Ex: Zotero). Let us re- imagine the library not from the consumption side but from the information generation side both from a physical infrastructure as well as intellectual infrastructure side physical spaces and provide an opportunity for a users to collaborate; discuss on the lines of the iconic New York Public Library (NYPL) which made waves in planning to shift its vast collection to a remote place but converting its current space for helping users access the Internet and also supporting children and students to creatively use the space. Library as a Place—report by the Council of Library and Information Resources (CLIR) emphasis this importance - said Prof. Shalini Urs to the budding academic librarians. It is time we changed our paradigm of information as a resource to information as an infrastructure, she said. -- Yours sincerely Umesha M L Guest Lecturer Dept. of Library and Information Sciensce University of Mysore Mysore. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
