Open Repositories 2014 -- Call for Proposals
by Imma Subirats 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

* * apologies for cross-posting ** The Ninth International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2014, will be held 9-13 June 2014 in Helsinki, Finland. The organizers are pleased to invite you to contribute to the program. This year's conference theme is: *Towards Repository Ecosystems* Repository systems are but one part of the ecosystem in 21st century research, and it is increasingly clear that no single repository will serve as the sole resource for its community. How can repositories best be positioned to offer complementary services in a network that includes research data management systems, institutional and discipline repositories, publishers, and the open Web? When should service providers build to fill identified niches, and where should they connect with related services? How might these networks offer services to support organizations that lack the resources to build their own, or researchers seeking to optimize their domain workflows? Examining how repositories best integrate into the holistic research flow; exploring ties between domain-specific repositories and institutional repositories; and understanding durable content strategies outside of traditional repository environments are the central themes of the Open Repositories 2014 conference. We welcome proposals on these themes, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational or administrative topics related to digital repositories. We're particularly interested in hearing about: * Unconventional approaches to repository-like services * Interconnection between publishers and repositories * Researcher-centered design for scholarly workflows * Adaptations to support curation lifecycle management, e.g., for research data * Real-world scalability and performance stories: working at web-scale, with big data for global usage * Requirements for holding restricted or classified data in repositories * Infrastructure to accommodate national and international mandates for data management and open access * Positioning repositories closer to (local, consortial, or cloud-based) cyberinfrastructure for data processing * Leveraging connections to external services including: * Remote identifier services (e.g., DOI, ORCID) * (Re-)using repository data/metadata in new and unexpected ways, including integrated discovery * Scholarly social media services, such as for annotation, review, comment, reputation, citation, and altmetrics * CRIS and research management systems * Digital preservation tools, services & infrastructure * Community and sustainability in an open world *KEY DATES* • 3 February 2014: Deadline for submissions • 4 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference • 17 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to interest groups • 9-13 June 2014: OR2014 conference SUBMISSION PROCESS *Conference Papers and Panels* We welcome proposals that are at least two pages and no more than four pages in length for presentations or panels that deal with digital repositories and repository services. Abstracts of accepted papers will be made available through the conference’s web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in a repository intended for current and future OR content. In general, sessions are an hour and a half long with three papers per session; panels may take an entire session. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will automatically be considered for inclusion, as appropriate, as an Interest Group presentation. *Interest Group Presentations* One to two-page proposals for presentations or panels that focus on use of one of the major repository platforms (DSpace, ePrints, and Fedora) are invited from developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories involving issues specific to these technical platforms. *24x7 Presentation Proposals* We welcome one- to two-page proposals for 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24x7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated discussion / question and answer session involving the audience and whole block of presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional poster. *"Repository Rants" 24x7 Block.* One block of 24x7's at OR14 will revolve around "repository rants": brief exposés that challenge the conventional wisdom or practice, and highlight what the repository community is doing that is misguided, or perhaps just missing altogether. The top proposals will be incorporated into a track meant to provoke unconventional approaches to repository services. *Posters, Demos and Developer "How-To's"* We invite developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and practitioners to submit one-page proposals for posters, demonstrations, technical how-tos and technology briefings. Posters provide an opportunity to present work that isn’t appropriate for a paper; you’ll have the chance to do a 60-second pitch for your poster or demo during a plenary session at the conference. Developer "How-To's" will provide a forum for running a mini-tutorial or demonstration in the developer lounge, if there are enough interested parties. *Developer Challenge* Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services, and once again OR2014 will feature a Developer Challenge. An announcement will be made in the future with more details on the Challenge. Developers are also encouraged to make submissions to the other tracks--including posters, demonstrations, and 24x7 presentations--to present on recently completed work and works-in-progress. *Workshops and Tutorials* One- to two-page proposals for Workshops and Tutorials addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. Please address the following in your proposal: • The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey • Length of session (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour? half a day? whole day?) • How many attendees you plan to accommodate • Technology and facility requirements • Any other supplies or support required • A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session • Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session Submit your paper, poster, demo or workshop proposal through the conference system. PDF format is preferred. Please include presentation title, authors’ names and affiliations in the submission. The conference system will be open for submissions by 16 December 2013, and is linked from the conference web site: http://or2014.helsinki.fi/ *Program Co-Chairs* Tom Cramer, Stanford University Mike Giarlo, Pennsylvania State University Simeon Warner, Cornell University contact: or-program-chair(a)googlegroups.com *Local Hosts* Helsinki University Library National Library of Finland contact: or-2014(a)helsinki.fi Social Media #or2014 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Librarians Can Also Undertake MRP Under UGC XII Plan (?)
by santosh hulagabali 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Librarians Can Also Undertake MRP Under UGC XII Plan (?) Dear friends, There is a huge uproar over barring (?) the Librarians from undertaking UGC's MRP. But is it really true? Is it really the right interpretation of the UGC XII Plan Guidelines related to MRPs?? (refer to the following URLs) My discussion with some (non-LIS) experts connected with education system revealed altogether a different story. They interpret the said UGC guidelines in a positive way. They mean that the in-service Librarians can also undertake UGC's MRP. So the moot point is: have we misinterpreted the guidelines/circular? or the guidelines are leading to misinterpretation? or are the Librarians really barred from undertaking UGC's MRP?. So the positive interpretation is (as per the experts' interpretation): In-service Librarians are eligible for MRP under UGC XII Plan but not post retirement. Whereas Library Science teachers, Principals, and Vice-Chancellors are eligible even after retirement for availing the MRP. Justification for the positive interpretation (as per the experts' interpretation): 1. The initial paragraph of the circular (page 2) states that any teacher of university and college (with 2 (F) & 12 (B) of UGC Act, 1956) can apply. So the Librarians should be considered here. 2. After stating the rule for retired teachers (Major RP, page 3), the very next paragraph states, "Only the teaching faculty of Library Science,Physical Education, Principals and VCs will also be eligible to participate in the scheme". So this should be considered in the context of the preceding paragraph discussing about the retired professionals. So what is your say on this?? Let us discuss. UGC XII Plan Guidelines, for your reference: 1. http://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/7716504_12th-plan-guidelines.pdf (Major RP) 2. http://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/6733319_12th-plan-Minor.pdf (Minor RP) Best regards, Santosh C.

Dear Professionals, Let us congratulate Mr. P.Y. Rajendra Kumar (soon he will be Dr. P.Y. R.) for occupying the prestigious post of Director General, National Library of India (NLI).

Earlier, myself as a member of SLA, Karnataka, have seen him and his leadership quality closely. I am sure with his 40 years of rich experience in various capacities in different organisations, specifically as Director of DPL, Karnataka, he will be in a position give a good leadership to NLI and give new direction to its services. He has won several awards including Aryabhata Award, Indira Priyadarshini Award, Ranganathan-Kaula Librarian Award, Government of Karnataka's Best Librarian Award, etc. He also served KALA as its President.

BookMooch
by noufal＠tatamotors.com 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

Request to be circulated among our colleagues. Dear All: You may also interested to explore this innovative service, BookMooch is a community for exchanging used books. BookMooch lets you give away books you no longer need in exchange for books you really want. * Give & receive: Every time you give someone a book, you earn a point and can get any book you want from anyone else at BookMooch. Once you've read a book, you can keep it forever or put it back into BookMooch for someone else, as you wish. * No cost: there is no cost to join or use this web site: your only cost is mailing your books to others. * Points for entering books: you receive a tenth-of-a-point for every book you type into our system, and one point each time you give a book away. In order to keep receiving books, you need to give away at least one book for every two you receive. * Help charities: you can also give your points to charities we work with, such as children's hospitals (so a sick kid can get a free book delivered to their bed), Library fund, African literacy, or to us to thank us for running this web site <grin>. * World wide: You can request books from other countries, in other languages. You receive 3 points when you send a book out of your country, to help compensate you for the greater mailing cost, and it costs the moocher 3 points to get the book. John Buckman, who runs BookMooch, has lived in California, England, France and Germany, and was frustrated by the vast number of books that were printed in just one country and not available in the other countries (for example, many books are published in Britain and never made available in America). * Wishlist: you can keep a "book wish list" that will automatically arrive to you when you have the points and/or the book becomes available in our catalog. * Feedback score: each time you receive a book, you can leave feedback with the sender, just like how eBay does it. If you keep your feedback score up, people are most likely to help you out when you ask for a book. * How we pay our bills: We tap into Amazon's book database, and if you follow an Amazon link from our web site, we receive a commission from Amazon if you buy that book instead of getting it free from BookMooch. * Why "Mooch"?: dictionary.co.uk defines "mooch" as: "to obtain something without paying for it, or to borrow something without intending to return it" as in "You're old enough to get a job and stop mooching off your family." And so, the word fits this project: BookMooch is a way to get books without paying, and without any intention of returning the book. This is the American definition of "mooch" and one of two British definitions. The other British definition is "to walk or act slowly and without much purpose" as in "Stop mooching about in your room and do something useful!" which isn't an entirely appropriate definition for this web site, but it is funny so we'll just live with it. * Why create this?: if you're passionate about books, you know how emotionally difficult it is to throw a book away, even if you will never read it again. You want to find a good home for your books, have them find someone who appreciates them. Also, you may be interested in trying a lot of books out, and keep the ones that are great. It's a great crime to have a book disappear, out of print, for none to read. BookMooch keeps books in circulation, and finds new readers for them. If you're not interested in getting free books, you can donate to charities, the points you gain by giving your books away. * Who are we? BookMooch is conceived, designed, written and administered by John Buckman <http://bookmooch.com/about/email> (pictured above). John also runs the online record label Magnatune <http://magnatune.com> . The graphic identity of the site is by Claudy Niesen <http://www.spirolab.com> , and the illustration is by Andrice Arp <http://www.hi-horse.com/aa/portfolio.html> .

Lecture at Central Library, JNU on August 27, 2013 at 3.00 pm
by Dr. Ramesh C Gaur 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Central Library Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) cordially invites you to the 12th Library Lecture Series and Outreach Programme Topic: Building a Print Fanzine Collection in a Digital Era Speaker : Ms. Isabel Ayres Maringelli Walter Wey Library Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo http://biblioteca.pinacoteca.org.br:9090/site/ imaringelli(a)pinacoteca.org.br Date: Tuesday, 27th August 2013 at 3:00 pm Venue: Committee Room, Central Library, JNU, New Delhi About the Topic: Building a Print Fanzine Collection in a Digital Era. Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo is the oldest art museum in São Paulo, SP, Brazil. The Walter Wey Library was created in 1959 to support the Museum staff: curators, researchers and conservators but today the majority of patrons is graduate students. The Library's collection is rich in representing Brazilian artists and contains materials pertinent to the Museum's art collections but it includes materials from all over the world. The Library has just started a new section that is formed by fanzines. Although there are many other libraries that hold these collections they are not very familiar either to users or to librarians. The library became interested in starting this collection because we have received many fanzines made by visual artists, illustrators, poets and comic writers. Fanzines are self-published booklets, created by hand or using low-cost printing technologies that allow to creator to take part in the whole production process. Although there are some E-zines being produced, some authors claims that fanzines could be considered as means of cultural resistance, in terms that they are printed and usually handmade, in opposition to all social media and digital sources for publishing. By bringing these materials into an art public Library Pinacoteca seeks to invite more people to read them. The circulation of fanzines could be restricted to other places than public museum and they are so original and creative that we decided to keep them and make them available to users. We expect to do a research to find relationships with contemporary art and also with other disciplines as Communication Theory and Information Science. About the Speaker: Isabel Ayres Maringelli was born in São Paulo, SP, Brazil, 1969. She has a Master of Business Administration - MBA in Cultural Economics (2009) – FGV – Getulio Vargas Foundation and a Graduate Degree and Bachelor's in Information and Documentation Science – Sociology and Political School São Paulo Foundation (1993). She is the Coordinator of Library Walter Wey, Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, the oldest art museum in the city, since 2009. Prior to this she has worked for more than 20 year in the Business Administration in the Getulio Vargas Foundation. She has published some articles in the field of use of open source software for library automation and libraries portals and has also been working with exhibitions productions. Please make it convenient to attend.

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre Seminar (3) 2012-14 Information Retrieval from Document Image Databases Abstract: ========= Information is an essential component for the progress, welfare and development of any community. In this era of information explosion, newer forms of information sources are slowly replacing the traditional ones. Today, 'Document Image Databases' have gained paramount popularity as an information source. This is being considered as an important topic of research in knowledge and data engineering. In an attempt to move towards the paperless society, large quantities of printed documents are digitized and stored as images in databases. In this context one major challenge that information scientists face is the retrieval of relevant information from image data than from text data. The present discussion revolves around the study of information retrieval from document image databases.
