LIS Profession: Quo Vadis ? Databrarian ? as placement data in US indicates as per the Library Journal Survey ? Want to be ahead of the curve ?
by Shalini Urs 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Dear LIS professionals, We have been debating about the future of LIS profession.Conferences/Workshops/Panels are being organised on this issue. Here is an interesting article that perhaps gives an idea of "whither LIS ?" http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2013/10/placements-and-salaries/2013-survey/th e-emerging-databrarian Library Journal (LJ) did a survey of approximately 1,900 graduates who responded to their annual Placements & Salaries survey, about a 3rd percent of the 2012 graduates from the 41 participating programs, several new job titles appeared among the survey responses, including emerging technologies librarian, e-learning and distance learning librarian, and e-lending librarian. Social media manager and project manager were also among the popular job titles, and individuals who found positions in academic institutions were as likely to be instructional designers and user experience designers as they were to be reference librarians. According to the survey by LJ, the top new job title and responsibilities included the following: 1. Data Analytics 2. Data Science 3. Digital Archives 4. Digital Content Management 5. Social Media Manager And others. The iSchools are leading the pack in creating this new avatar of LIS professionals.Very happy that we at ISiM ( http://www.isim.ac.in <http://www.isim.ac.in/>) have been doing this since 2005! Our InfoVision conference series have been focusing on data analytics for a while now. And now with the ICADL 2013 focusing on Data Analytics and Mining, we are ahead of the curve! Come to ICADL 2013 and learn how to become a Databrarian and be ahead of the curve (http://www.icadl2013.org.in <http://www.icadl2013.org.in/>) !

Save Libraries and Librarianship: Some Thoughts
by Vasanth 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Dear Sir/Madam, This piece is just a bundle of thoughts that have been lingering in my mind after come across the title of the seminar “Save Libraries and Librarianship” organized by the Karnataka State Library Association (KALA), Bangalore on the eve of National Library Week-2013. I have tried to look at, why KALA at this juncture has organized a seminar on this topic “Save Libraries and Librarianship”? Not on what transpired at the event. Recently while searching for library quotations we had come across lot of inspiring quotations on libraries. Many of them have come from famous literary giants, great scientists and tech wizards. Some of them are: "The only thing you absolutely have to know is the location of the library." - Albert Einstein I have always imagined paradise as a kind of library - Jorge Louis Borges A library is a hospital for the mind - Anonymous Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. - Sir Richard Steel I cannot live without books -Thomas Jefferson What all these quotations indicating or pointing us that, how important libraries are for creating a healthy society as well as for intellectual growth of an individual. This is what Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft has said about libraries “I’d be happy if I could think that the role of the library was sustained and even enhanced in the age of the computer.” The decline of any cultural institutions (such as libraries) is the decline of the society. If society is not cared for its cultural institutions then there is something wrong with the society. The death of library (cultural institutions) is the death of the society as well. The voice of “Save libraries” has to come from the society not from the professional organization. Librarianship may have been facing some serious problems to sustain in this technological age but not libraries. Every stakeholder in the society has the role to keep this society healthy by helping cultural institutions like libraries to sustain and thrive. Why we librarians, the managers of libraries have to plead the society? Is it not the collective efforts of the society? If few points to ponder upon the current status of librarianship in India or across the globe, we are lacking strong leadership in the domain (after S.R.Ranganthan’s demise, Indian LIS field has not seen the leader of such stature). The academia has, if we go through the recent research trends (Ph.Ds, research papers, conference, seminars) shifted its focus more on technological aspects not librarianship (library philosophical foundations). Public libraries have not been the part of LIS academic discourse in recent times. If we skim through the LIS Forum posting for the last one year itself is an indication that even 0.01% seminars/conference/workshops have had the theme “public libraries”. Today in the 21st knowledge society libraries especially public libraries have big role to play. Technology would help us tap the large mass of the people through public libraries. Are we doing anything on this? Though we are living in an information society (where economy is largely depend upon the availability of information) libraries the main chain of information society is not taken care in a manner it should have been. Libraries have been deprived of even basic facilities. If school, college, and public libraries are provided minimal physical facilities and human resource support, automatically conditions would be little better off. Is this happening in college, schools and public libraries? Library schools across the globe have been shifting their boundaries (changing their name as iSchools) from libraries to other interdisciplinary domains. Library is slowly forgetting from the academic world. If we really wants to boost the confidence of LIS students (future LIS education), what we really need to do? Do we have the answer? If library professional organizations not address fundamental questions and started to ask (save libraries and librarianship) this kind of questions? Are we putting library profession at stake? (Views are personal) ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.

Conference
by Khalid Nadeem Khan 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

Dear Sir/Madam Greeting! Trust it finds you well. You will be pleased to know that a two day national conference is being organized by University of Delhi South Campus jointly with Society for Library Professionals in association with United Nations Information Centre-India and Special Library Association-Asian Chapter on Friday-Saturday, 7-8 February 2014 . The theme of conference is “From Brick to Click: Transforming Libraries into Social Spaces” and the conference aims to address the main issues of concern within the framework of transformation which is taking place with the emergence of distributed forms of information in a double click environment. We believe that the role of physical libraries have changed considerably over the last ten years, to reflect changes in the nature of education. The importance of collaboration, group work and communication in teaching and learning are widely recognised and the central role of the library as a repository of facts and information is changing. While it is still important to have this kind of resource, it has proven to be a diminishing draw in terms of library traffic. The notion of transforming libraries into social and cultural spaces is an expansive role for the future library not only serving as an information resource, but much more, with the exact mission and goals evolving and changing over time. A culture-based library is one that taps into the spirit of the community, assessing priorities and providing resources to support the things deemed most important. Libraries are in a unique position to experiment with creative spaces so the future role of the library can define itself. The conference program will include plenary sessions, invited and contributed papers, poster sessions, product presentations, panel discussions and an exhibition. A series of parallel sessions will be held offering delegates a wide range of in depth presentations by leading national and international experts. In view of your eminence and contribution to LIS profession, the core committee of the conference seeks your support in organising the conference successfully as its very distinguished organising committee member . We also seek your kind presence during the conference as our distinguished guest. We are sure that you will accept our invitation and extend your support to the event and enrich us by your invaluable advice and experience from time to time so that conference achieves its objectives and concludes with purposefully. We will keep you duly posted with all the developments and decision associated with the organising of the conference.

Is it an error???
by Ajay Kamble 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

As we all know, UGC published the UGC REGULATIONS FOR APPOINTMENTS AND CAREER ADVANCEMENT SCHEME OF TEACHERS AND OTHER ACADEMIC STAFF IN UNIVERSITY / COLLEGES AND MEASURES FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF STANDARDS IN HIGHER EDUCATION 2010, which was later published in the Gazette of India, 18 September, 2010 and later was accepted by Government of Maharastra, DHTE vide its GR No. Sankirna - 2011/(25/11) vishi-1 dated 15th February, 2011. Also, recently accepted by Mumbai University vide its Circular No. CONCOL/TAU/40/ of 2012-13 dated 19th March 2013. If we refer 1. Appendix III Table - II(a) And 6.1.0 of UGC Regulation 2010 (page no. 104) 2. Appendix III Table - II(b) of UGC Regulations 2010 (page no 105) 3. Appendix III Table VIII(a) of the UGC Regulations 2010 (page no 122) 4. Appendix III Table VIII(b) of the UGC Regulations 2010 (page no 123) and compare the IV row regards Research and Academic Contribution (Category III) we found that, 1. The points of University Teacher and University Library Staff equals and found relevant to each other. 2. The points viz. 5/year and 20/AP; 10/year and 50/AP; 15/year and 45/AP for College Teachers are also relevant. 3. The points for College Librarian for stage I to II are 5/year and 40/AP is found irrelevant as 5 x 6 = 30 as maximum AP for first stage is 6 years. 4. Same is the case for Stage II to III and Stage III to IV. 5. This may be misprinted and the error remains unknown all these years. 6. The report was studied and forwarded by expert committees from UGC, MHRD, Government of Maharshtra and University of Mumbai and still no one has noticed the above error. 7. Suppose, if it is not an error, are they expecting the college librarians to do more research work than teacher categories. If anyone is having more information on this issue please let us know. Thanks and Regards, Ajay M. Kamble Librarian Annasaheb Vartak Arts, Commerce, Science College, Vasai Road (W), Dist. Thane - 401202 www.mlsc.co.nr www.ajaykamble.co.nr -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Harvard's Head Librarian Is Delighted That Google Books Will Expand Fair Use
by noufal＠tatamotors.com 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

(To post in the Forum) Dear All An interesting read. Google estimates that there are about 130 million unique books in the world. And the search giant intends to scan them all by 2020. After an eight-year, multi-branched legal battle <http://www.librarycopyrightalliance.org/bm~doc/google-books-litigation- family-tree.pdf> , Judge Denny Chin came down on the side of Google Books in a major decision on Thursday <http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/google-books-victory-widens-the-scope- of-fair-use> , ruling that Google was within its legal right to digitize the books under the fair use provision of US copyright law. Google started its digitization effort about a decade ago, but was criticized by authors and publishers for violating copyright, eventually spurring a class action lawsuit brought forward by the Authors Guild and the the Association of American Publishers. Chin ruled against the groups last week, in a move that's been hailed as a victory for fair use on the internet. Robert Darnton, a celebrated book historian and Harvard University's head librarian, has followed the legal saga over the years- always as a strong advocate for the public's access to literature in the digital realm. I talked with Darnton about last week's ruling, as well as the history of fair use and the future of digital publishing. Full Story: http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/harvards-head-librarian-is-delighted-th at-google-books-will-expand-fair-use Regards, Noufal.PP ******************************************************************************************************************************************************** "This e-Mail may contain proprietary and confidential information and is sentfor the intended recipient(s) only.

WORLD'S LARGEST CANCER DATABASE LAUNCHED
by Ragaavendra R 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

Dear moderator pls circulate. World's largest cancer database launched The world's largest cancer database - containing 1.7 billion experimental results - has been launched, with an aim to discover future treatments for the deadly disease. The system, called CanSAR, is the biggest disease database of its kind anywhere in the world and condenses more data than would be generated by one million years of use of the Hubble space telescope. It contains more than eight million experimentally derived measurements, nearly one million biologically active chemical compounds and data from over a thousand cancer cell lines. The database will utilise artificial intelligence similar to the technology used to predict the weather to predict which potential drugs are likely to work in which circumstances. The new CanSAR database developed by researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, is more than double the size of a previous version and has been designed to cope with a huge expansion of data on cancer brought about by advances in DNA sequencing and other technologies. The resource is being made freely available by The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) and Cancer Research UK, and will help researchers worldwide make use of vast quantities of data, including data from patients, clinical trials and genetic, biochemical and pharmacological research. Although the prototype of CanSAR was on a much smaller scale, it attracted 26,000 unique users in more than 70 countries around the world, and earlier this year was used to identify 46 potentially "druggable" cancer proteins that had previously been overlooked. The new database will drive further dramatic advances in drug discovery by allowing researchers access to, and the ability to interact with, unprecedented amounts of multidisciplinary data in seconds. CanSAR contains drug target information from the human genome and model organisms. Research that had previously taken months to complete will now take only minutes. "The database is capable of extraordinarily complex virtual experiments drawing on information from patients, genetics, chemistry and other laboratory research. It can spot opportunities for future cancer treatments that no human eye could be expected to see," Dr Bissan Al-Lazikani, Team Leader in Computational Biology and Chemogenomics at the ICR, said. "This is an extraordinary time for cancer research, as advances in scientific techniques open up new possibilities and generates unprecedented amounts of data. Our aim is to make this wealth of information, coming from both the clinic and from the laboratory, freely available in a very user-friendly form to as many people as possible," Professor Paul Workman, Deputy Chief Executive of the ICR, said.

Dear Friends, The following is sent for your kind information. Sorry for cross posting. According to one of the mails received by me, a new open access/repository law passed in Argentina. The law requires that the country's Scientific institutions make their research output openly accessible. This is the second open access law passed in South America this year, along with a law that was passed earlier in Peru. It is fantastic news all around and reflects of the growing worldwide momentum for open access, which is especially strong right now in Latin America!
