You Can Go To Jail For An Overdue Library Book
by Jayadev P Hiremath 02 Nov '13

02 Nov '13

By Mary Beth Quirk<http://consumerist.com/author/marybethquirkconsumerist/> November 1, 2013 If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it is not to mess with librarians or library materials<http://consumerist.com/?s=overdue+library+books>. We’ve learned some other things too, of course, but for today’s lesson in library lateness, just go with it. Moving on! A Texas man was arrested this week for failing to return a GED study guide he simply spent too long studying — three years — and was sent to jail to mull over his actions, or lack thereof. It’s not like he’s serving hard time or anything, though. People like him are usually released on a $200 bond after arrest, notes a municipal judge. KTWX.com<http://www.kwtx.com/ourtown/home/headlines/Copperas-Cove-Overdue-Library-Bo…>cites court documents that show he first checked out the guide in 2010 and never responded to the library’s subsequent attempts by phone and emails to recover its property. The library told the municipal court and boom, you’ve got an active overdue libraries material warrant on your head and cops can bring you in during a routine stop. To those who say it sounds unfair to go to jail over a book, just think about the people who might want or need that same tome, only to find it unavailable, said the judge. That’s why the city passed the ordinance allowing for arrest warrants in these cases a few years ago — it was getting too expensive to replace materials that weren’t coming back. “Universal hatred,” the judge calls the reaction to the ordinance. “Nobody wants to get arrested over a library book. The other side of that is people that go to our library and can’t have these materials, they’re put out too,” he said of the reaction to getting an arrest in such a case. The suspect didn’t seem excited to talk to local media about his case, but KTWX notes that a copy of a GED study guide like the one he checked out was back on the shelf, with his library card inside. We can’t help but wonder how that GED went after three years of studying. -- Warm regards.

9th Dr. TB Rajashekar Memorial Seminar (2013): Digital Information Services in Academic and R&D Information Centers
by madhuresh.singhal 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

Dear Members, NCSI-Net, an informal association comprising of erstwhile NCSI staff and its trainees, was established in 2000. During its 13 years of existence, the association has been constantly engaged in organizing various professional activities like monthly lectures, invited talks, seminars, conferences, and workshops. It has also been collaborating with other professional associations in organizing and conducting various professional activities. Being an informal association, it had its own advantages and to some extent, some constraints, too. Also, many of NCSIians have been expressing their intent, for a long time now, that it should become a registered body so that it can engage itself in lot more diversified activities. Several of senior NCSI-Net members have been mulling about the idea of NCSI-Net being a registered body for a long time. Around March 2013, it was decided that NCSI-Net would be registered as a charitable trust. The process for registration was started thereafter and after few initial hurdles, we finally managed to get it registered. We are very happy to convey that our plan came into fruition on Friday, 14 June 2013. So, NCSI-Net is now NCSI-Net Foundation, a registered charitable trust. The foundation, for the present, will continue with the existing activities including the annual lecture and seminar series in honor and memory of late Dr. T.B. Rajashekar. In fact, the TBR Memorial lecture, 2013, on "Knowledge Diversity in Media Content Analysis - An Analytico-synthetic Approach" delivered by Dr. Devika P. Madalli of DRTC, on Friday 21 June 2013, was the inaugural event of the foundation. The foundation already has a web presence with a very rudimentary web site, accessible at http://www.ncsinet.org. It will be improved up on in due course of time. We are now gearing up for the second event by the foundation - Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Seminar. The announcement about the seminar follows: NCSI-Net Foundation cordially invites you to the 9th Dr. TBR Memorial Seminar (2013). This year's topic will be "Digital Information Services in Academic and R&D Information Centers". It's a one-day seminar targeted for the benefit of students of Library and Information Science and budding LIS professionals. The details of the seminar are given below. Brochure is available at Foundation website. Title: Dr. TBR Memorial Seminar (2013): Digital Information Services in Academic and R&D Information Centers Date: November 23, 2013 (Saturday) Venue: APC (erstwhile NCSI) Seminar Hall, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore - 560012 Registration fee: Rs. 250/- for Students and Rs. 500/- for budding professionals (includes working Lunch).

Is your LIS-Forum mail / posting being distributed to all the members?
by franc＠library.iisc.ernet.in 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

Dear Members, The answer to the above question would be both 'yes' and 'no'. The answer would be yes, all the lis-forum members will receive a copy of your posting/reply provided your lis-forum mail is sent in 'plain text' mode. The answer would be 'no', ALL the members may not receive a copy of your mail if your lis-forum mail/reply is not sent in 'plain text' mode If you want the answer to be 'yes' every time you make a posting to the lis-forum, then you just need to ensure that your email client, a program used to access and manage your mails, sends all your lis-forum mails - both new postings and replies - in plain text mode. How does one ensure that the lis-forum mails are sent in 'plain text' mode? Quite simple. For Gmail users, the procedure to be followed is: While composing your LIS-Forum mail/reply, click on the small inverted triangle that appears at the bottom right corner. Clicking it will list the various options. Click on the 'Plain text mode' option. The selection will be saved and all your mails, henceforth, will be sent in Plain text mode. The default mode for Gmail is 'Rich text' and this mode should be avoided for lis-forum mails. For Yahoo users: The default mode in Yahoo is 'Rich text'. To change this to 'Plain text mode', the procedure is: In the 'Compose' screen, click on the '>>' sign to toggle (change) between 'Rich text' and 'Plain text' modes. The '>>' sign appears at the bottom portion of 'Compose' screen. I'm not familiar with other email service providers like Hotmail, Rediffmail, etc. The procedure to send the mails in 'Plain text' mode from these email providers should also be quite straight forward. So, just ensure that your mails to lis-forum are in 'Plain text'. This will guarantee that your mails are distributed to ALL the members of the list. Subscription to LIS-Forum can be made either in the 'digest' mode or in the 'non-digest' mode. In the 'digest' mode, all the approved mails from LIS-Forum are sent as a single mail. In the 'non-digest' mode, the approved mails are sent individually. The mails that are received in the 'Plain text' mode gets distributed to ALL the members without any issues. However, mails that are received in non-plain text mode (rich text, HTML etc), may not reach ALL the members especially those who have subscribed in 'non-digest' mode. So, if your posting/mail is not reaching all the members of the list, you know the reason for that and do take the corrective measure. Thanks for your co-operation. With best wishes, - Francis JRD Tata Library IISc, Bangalore -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

### IASLIC demands for setting up Indian Institute of Library and Information Sciences
by Prof Pijushkanti Panigrahi 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

IASLIC demands for setting up Indian Institute of Library and Information Sciences Dear Professional Friends We all are aware that the Working Group on Libraries under National Knowledge Commission (NKC) in its Report to the Nation (2006-2009) entitled “Libraries: Gateway to Knowledge – A Roadmap for Revitalization” recommended the formation of Indian Institute of Library and Information Science (IILIS) of national importance along with other nine major recommendations on libraries. In pursuance of this, a High Level Committee National Mission on Libraries (NML) had been set up by the Government of India. It was extremely heartening to us (IASLIC) with the hope that this NML would give due importance in implementing all ten major recommendations including setting up the Indian Institute of Library and Information Science (IILIS) of national importance which, as a nodal body, would give a vital direction to LIS education, research and practice for both high speed generation and use of knowledge needed for brining a structural change in Indian economy. IASLIC demands that the IILIS is absolutely the need of the hour for the LIS profession of Library and Information Science to fulfill its role as a corner stone of the knowledge society. I am sure; all of our fellow professionals bear the same feelings in their heart. But unfortunately NML has not taken yet any positive step to this effect. At least we could not find any such prominent effort on the part of NML. Thus we, on behalf of IASLIC, wrote to the Hon’ble Prime Minister expressing our grievance in this regard and also approached to Dr Barun Mukherjee, Hon’ble MP (Rajya Shabha) to help Library Professionals of India. IASLIC is ever grateful to Dr Mukherjee for taking up this matter and also for putting forward a demand in the Parliament on August 14, 2013. “Dr Barun Mukherjee (West Bengal) : Sir, I would urge upon the Minister of Culture to set up a National Institute of Library and Information Science as is being demanded by thousands of library professionals and has been recommended by the National Knowledge Commission (NKC) constituted in 2005 initiated by the Prime Minister and headed by Mr Sam Pitroda. The Working Group of Libraries under NKC in its Report entitled “Libraries: Gateway to Knowledge – A Roadmap for revitalization” recommended in 2006 the formation of Indian Institute of Library and Information Science of national importance. With the growing technological development and advancement in research and studies, library and information science have assumed added importance. To feed the need of expertise for the purpose, a national institute for studies, research and training is essential, which we are lacking till now, particularly in the field of public library. Although LIS courses up to Post Graduate and Ph D levels are offered in many of the universities, overall guiding model at the national level is yet to be developed. NKC has, therefore, recommended NILIS as a nodal body. But this is yet to be implemented by the Government. Even it is not known whether the recommendation has been rejected, and, if so, why? LIS is now a full grown professional subject, having its exclusive Encyclopedia in the International Market. When other professional subjects are having apex academic bodies, why not the LIS? I, therefore, request the Ministry of Culture to take necessary steps to set up the NILIS at an early date.” I, on behalf of IASLIC, request all of our fellow professionals and professional associations to join hands to strengthen this movement.

This is the brief report of the special lecture. Mr. L.J. Haravu, UNESCO Expert on implementation of technology base library services in South East Asia and Arab Countries, gave a special lecture on this occasion on the theme of “Open Access: The Philosophy and Trends” at the SBRR Mahajana First Grade College, Mysore on 26th October 2013. L. J. Haravu started his lecture by citing some of the historical, cultural and social movements that have altered the human civilization in great deal. He pointed out that people movements have started because of some fundamental causes that hindered the human freedom and aspirations of common people. The fundamental changes that occurred because of social, cultural, historical and scientific movements was bring in new legislations, regulations and reforms, he said. Continuing his lecture he said that movements have by-products or spin-offs. 1950 and 60s India witnessed a library movements in a big way, as a part of this there were movements in the areas of classification and indexing, thesaurus building. Now we have been witnessing a new kind of movements in the field of library automation, digitization, open source software adaptation, etc. While speaking on the philosophy behind OA movements, L.J. Haravu highlighted some of the major breakthrough in scholarly publishing domain which played crucial role in spreading OA movements. Some of the major changes in scholarly publishing domain that led to OA movements were: increase emphasize for publishing research papers (publish or perish syndrome), rapid increase in scholarly publications, rise in subscription cost of scholarly journals (200% to 250% of increase in the last 25 years), dwindling library budget on the other hand, deprived of access to research materials, publishers monopoly. Because of some of these reasons, stakeholders involved in scholarly publications (academicians, scientists, librarians, activists, (who are vocal about OA) contemplated for starting OA movement. The developments in contemporary technologies (Internet) provided them a great platform to provide access to information easily like never before. OA movement was formally launched in 3 international meetings in 2002-03, in Budapest, Bethesda and Berlin, he said. He said that there were two major rubrics of OA publishing models. One is OAJs (Open Access Journals) and another model is OAA (Open Access Archiving). He cited some of the examples for OAJs: Public Library of Science (PLoS), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). For open access archiving major institutional repositories and OAIster. Because of OA movement, today we have, open courseware (MIT Open Courseware), open educational resources, open theses, open data and open source films, he said. L. J. Haravu mentioned some of the barriers for open access, such as business model of OAJ publishers, emergence of predatory OA journals, authors reluctance for publishing their research papers in OA journals. He urged the librarians to play active role in creating awareness and educate academicians/executives about the importance of OA. He also urged the librarians to play crucial role in establishing institutional repositories in their respective intuitions and adopting OA mandate. On this gracious occasion MyLISA felicitated Mrs. Asha P., Mr. Vijaynag and Mr. Shivakumar for having cleared the National Eligibility Test (NET), conducted by the University Grant Commission (UGC) in June 2013. Library professionals from Bangalore, staff of SBRR Mahajana College and MyLISA office bearers and members in large numbers attended the event. MyLISA is very much thankful for SBRR Mahajana First Grade College for providing the auditorium to host the event. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.

Anthony Debons, Pioneering Information Scientist is no more-R.I.P
by shalini＠isim.ac.in 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Anthony Debons, a very well known scientist and pioneering of Information Scientist, professor at the University of Pittsburgh, who shaped the contours of the then emerging field of Information Science through his volume Information Science?: ?Search for identity?, in 1972 and several books later including Information Science 101; Information Science: an Integrated view; Information Science in Action: System Design ; Information Systems: Failure Analysis; The Information professional?: ?survey of an emerging field? is no more. He died on October 19, 2013 Perhaps some of my students from Mysore of the late 1970s vintage may remember him and his book?which I insisted they read if they wanted to reposition as Information Scientists. In my opinion, Tony was the father of information science setting the intellectual foundations of the field along with many others such as B.C. Brookes, Nicholas Belkin, S.E. Robertson, Dagobert Soergel, and others. I had the privilege of studying information science first hand under his tutelage at the International Graduate Summer School at Wales, organized in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh, way back in 1981, where in I took a 3 credit course on " Foundations of Information Science' taught by Dr. Debons and cherish such wonderful discussions in the evenings about the evolving nature of the newly emerging field of Information Sciences from a very strong intellectual foundations perspective. Had the pleasure of meeting and interacting with him again after a long gap, when I went to University of Pittsburgh in 2005 as part of my efforts to establish the International School of Information Management (ISiM), the first and only Information School in India in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh I School. Tony was an amazing human being and fine intellect, with clarity of thought even in the ripe old age of nineties. May his soul rest in peace.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2013 10:40:42 +0530 From: Jayadev P Hiremath <jayadevph(a)gmail.com> by Bree Steffen K4TV <http://kfor.com/author/bree-steffen/> NORMAN, Okla. � The first 24 hour automated library in the United States was installed in Norman at Irving Recreation Center. The concept is similar to Redbox but patrons will not have to use credit cards, just their library cards to access hundreds of books, audiobooks, and DVDs. Patrons can check items out 24 hours a day, seven days a week, rain or shine. They can even pay fines with credit cards or pick up items placed on hold. �There are a lot of installations in China.� Lisa Wells, assistant director for Library Services, said. �But this is the first United States installation. We were very excited to be first to bring it to Oklahoma, and more importantly, the city of Norman.� The automated library was purchased through EnvisionWare, partnering with Pioneer Library system. �Many of my employees said this was my birthday present because that was yesterday, and it was bringing this system to life yesterday for the first time in America after 2 and � years of research and development.� Mike Monk, CEO of EnvisionWare, said. A westside 24 hour library will also be installed. Both the eastside and westside locations will open by November 1. -- Warm regards.

I was trying to answer a frequently asked question in my presentation – what about the quality of Open Access Journals? I did a little bit of research to find out as what is the status of top Indian Journals published from India. As quality of journals is still measured by their Impact Factors – so I picked top 20 Indian Journals according to their 2012 Impact Factors. Then I proceeded to look Internet for the URLs of these Top Twenty Indian Journals and attempted if I could access and download articles from these journals for free. I was able to access 16 of these 20 top journals. Which is quit well – a score of 80%. Coming to Bio-Medical Journals – which is of interest to me – I was surprised by the fact that I could access all these Bio-Medical Journal. Wow – Top Bio-Medical journals from India are accessible openly. So, what does that means? It simply means that best of India’s articles, especially in the field of bio-medical sciences, are published in Open Access Journals.

Seminar on Best and Innovative Practices in Libraries on 26.10.2013 at AMET University, Chennai
by A Hariharan 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

Seminar on Best and Innovative Practices in Libraries Date: 26th October 2013 (Saturday) Organized by Department of Library & Information Science, AMET University & Society for the Advancement of Library and Information Science (SALIS) (Chennai Chapter) About AMET University The AMET University which has been established for the propagation of Maritime Education is currently offering various marine related UG, PG and Ph.D programmes. The University was conferred with the status of Deemed University under section 3 of the UGC Act 1956 and started functioning as a full-fledged University from 2007 and has also got the unique distinction of being the first private University in India to offer exclusively Maritime Education. About the AMET Library AMET Library is being developed as one of the best libraries in the field and its service has been automated to provide timely and quality service to the users. Library holds books and subscribes many national and international journals. About the Seminar The 21st century has witnessed exponential growth of educational institutions all over the world. Managing these institutions is a big challenge to the various government agencies such as UGC, AICTE, Universities, etc. These agencies have introduced strict norms, assessment and accreditation processes and policies for minimum requirements, infrastructure, mandatory resources to maintain the quality and standards of these institutions and also the libraries attached to them. The function of libraries has changed dramatically since the global change in ICT from storing of books to learning and disseminating knowledge. It helps the expectations of users also. Best practices are indentified by examining empirical evidence of success. Therefore they have to adopt the best procedures from TQM concepts, ISO standards, assessment and accreditation norms/policies of various governments and certification bodies. The main reason for adopting these procedures is not only to provide quality services for user satisfaction and also to discharge their routine functions effectively and efficiently. Library services need to be frequently evaluated and updated to the changing needs of library users. Library 2.0 calls for libraries to encourage user participation and feedback in the development and maintenance of library services. The focus of the libraries is now user centered, user satisfaction and participation. Therefore, new, innovative and flexible methods are to be introduced to accommodate new concepts for the changing requirements and environment. Objectives To understand the best and innovative practices stated in TQM, ISO and management techniques and principles. To discuss the norms, assessment and accreditation criteria in academic and other type of libraries. To formulate strategies and how best and innovative practices can be adopted to make the library as a dynamic, user-centric and user participative institution. To identify where services need improvement from user point of view. To discuss how to evaluate the library resources, services for the improvement and user satisfaction. Topics ISO:9000 - 2000 - Quality Management Systems for Library TQM Principles and concepts for Library, Seven Sigma Norms, assessment and accreditation process/requirements of AICTE/NBA, UGC/NAAC, IMC, Universities etc. Innovative Methods and Procedures to make library as a dynamic, user-centric and user participative institutions. Evaluation of Library services, resources and user satisfaction Target Audience Librarians, Information professionals, LIS faculty and students. The number of seats is limited and the selection will be based on first come first served basis. Resource Persons Experts and practicing LIS professionals from reputed institutions.

IASLIC demands for setting up Indian Institute of Library and Information Sciences
by IASLIC Kolkata 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

*IASLIC demands for setting up Indian Institute of Library and Information Sciences* Dear Professional Friends We all are aware that the Working Group on Libraries under National Knowledge Commission (NKC) in its *Report to the Nation (2006-2009)* entitled “Libraries: Gateway to Knowledge – A Roadmap for revitalization” recommended the formation of Indian Institute of Library and Information Science (IILIS) of national importance along with other nine major recommendations on libraries. In pursuance of this, a High Level Committee National Mission on Libraries (NML) has been set up by the Government of India. It is extremely heartening to us (IASLIC) with the hope that this NML would give due importance in implementing all ten major recommendations including setting up the Indian Institute of Library and Information Science (IILIS) of national importance which is very vital for education and research for both high speed generation and use of knowledge needed for brining a structural change in the economy. IASLIC feels that the IILIS is absolutely the need of hour for the profession of Library and Information Science to fulfill its role as a corner stone of the knowledge society. I am sure; all of our fellow professionals and professional associations would bear the same feelings in their heart. But unfortunately NML has not taken yet any positive step to this effect. At least we could find any such prominent effort on the part of NML. Thus we, on behalf of IASLIC, wrote to the Hon’ble Prime Minister expressing our demand in this regard and also approach to Dr Barun Mukherjee , Hon’ble MP (Rajya Shabha) to help Library Professionals of India. IASLIC is ever grateful to Dr Mukherjee for taking up this matter and for putting forward a demand in the Parliament on 14.08.2013 *“Dr Barun Mukherjee (West Bengal) : Sir, I would urge upon the Minister of Culture to set up a National Institute of Library and Information Science as is being demanded by thousands of library professionals and has been recommended by the National Knowledge Commission (NKC) constituted in 2005 initiated by the Prime Minister and headed by Mr Sam Pitroda. The Working Group of Libraries under NKC in its Report entitled “Libraries: Gateway to Knowledge – A Roadmap for revitalization” recommended in 2006 the formation of Indian Institute of Library and Information Science of national importance.* *With the growing technological development and advancement in research and studies, library and information science have assumed added importance. To feed the need of expertise for the purpose, a national institute for studies, research and training is essential, which we are lacking till now, particularly in the field of public library. Although LIS courses up to Post Graduate and Ph D levels are offered in many of the universities, overall guiding model at the national level is yet to be developed. NKC has, therefore recommended NILIS as a nodal body. But this is yet to be implemented by the Government. Even it is not known whether the recommendation has been rejected, and, if so, why? LIS is now a full grown professional subject, having its exclusive Encyclopedia in the International Market. When other professional subjects are having apex academic bodies, why not the LIS?* *I, therefore, request the Ministry of Culture to take necessary steps to set up the NILIS at an early date.”* -- * **Prof Pijushkanti Panigrahi*, Hony General Secretary, IASLIC, P-291, CIT Scheme No. 6M, Kankurgachi, Kolkata - 700054 iaslic(a)vsnl.net or iaslic.india(a)gmail.com www.iaslic1955.org.in *Join IASLIC, Contribute to IASLIC, Strengthen IASLIC* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Please post to the forum members Greeting to all UGC Sponsored 4th KSCLA National Conference on Impact of Information Technology on Library Services Date: 27th & 28th Dec, 2013 Organized by Sahyadri Arts College, B H Road, Shivamogga Kuvempu University College Librarians’ Association, Shivamogga Karnataka State College Librarians’ Association, Bangalore About the Conference Information Technology (IT) has profound impact on progress and development of human civilization. Science and technology has undergone tremendous improvement and the reflection of its improvement can be seen in almost all our daily activities. The IT revolution has increased the demand, consumption, importance of information in present society. The librarians with massive volume of information available in the libraries are faced with challenges relating to effective storage, processing, retrieval, and dissemination of information. The IT has touched and enhanced almost all fields and libraries are not an exception. Rapid advances in IT in the past two decades have brought revolutionary changes in the concept, organization, functioning, and management of libraries throughout the world. Worldwide, libraries have been exploring new technologies for providing better and faster access to vast information resources. Information technologies today are characterized by their very dynamic development and increasing complexity. The modern technology has greatly improved the capabilities of managing the explosive growth of information effectively, and has also contributed in providing effective library services. IT is been widely used for carrying out the technical activities of libraries, but it is also been used for shaping the library services for providing efficient information services to the library users. IT has offered better solutions to achieve greater level of efficiency, productivity, and user centered services in libraries. We are in the most challenging time when technology and our traditional library values are converging. Libraries have undergone a great paradigm shift under the influence of IT. In this Information Society, everyone acknowledges that information plays a central role in their development. Therefore, libraries have evolved into information providers rather than mere document providers. The expansion of Internet has opened up electronic information to the masses, and there is an increasing demand for information to be presented in an visually appealing manner. Indeed, recent advances in the field of IT are contributing significantly to improve the services of libraries. Further, the impact of IT has led to a paperless society, digital libraries, and virtual libraries. While acknowledging the changes taking place in the mode and service of information delivery and usage, it is important that the library professionals rediscover the specialized needs and expectations of the users so that they can reevaluate the library services, and reinvigorate the library professional. The future of libraries greatly depend on the librarians attempt to understand the evolving IT and equip themselves accordingly. With these parameters in mind it is planned to organize a two day national conference on “IMPACT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ON LIBRARY SERVICES”in collaboration with the Kuvempu University College Librarians’ Association, Shivamogga, Karnataka.
