[ELF] Call for Papers: On Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age- National Conference at VTU, Belgaum, Karnataka, India
by Engg-Lib-Forum from India 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

Dear Sir/Madam, Sorry for the cross posting, I am happy to inform you that, Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) is organising a National Conference on “Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age (RLEA-2013)”, in the month of November, 2013. At VTU Campus, Belgaum. The role of Library and Information Centers in the present era is ever changing and the traditional services have taken a new shape in the light of developments in Information and Communication Technologies [ICTs]. Physical locations for ease of access to Library resources no longer an issue. Now Libraries are facilitating their users with 24 x 7 access using Internet Technology. Today physical use of libraries is declining drastically and most of the Librarians are expressing their concern over this development and are feeling insecure due to fall of user attendance in Libraries. This need not be the concern of Librarians. Today the users are techno-savvy and access more information than the earlier users. The libraries used to supply limited reference resources to their users earlier, but today's users will get multiple resources on their fingertips. Hence the concern for Librarians of these days should be to redefine the role of Libraries in reaching out the right information to the right user at a right time. Hence a National Conference has been organized to provide a platform for discussing following main issues: Conference Theme: Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age Sub Themes: Redefining library building ü Effective utilization of physical space ü Additional facilities for library users Redefining the organization of knowledge ü Classification ü Cataloguing Redefining collection development, Information sources and services ü Collection development ü Information sources and services ü Electronic sources and services ü Evaluation of Information Sources ü Library networking and consortia ü Open Access Redefining the management of library and information centers ü Planning ü HRM & HRD ü Financial management and budgeting ü TQM ü Knowledge management ü Leadership and Public relations & Advocacy ü Soft skills for librarians Redefining the ICT applications for libraries ü Integrated Library Management Software [ILMS] ü Digital library technologies and digital preservation ü Content Management Systems [CMS] ü Internet technology ü Open Source Software ü Web 2.0 applications ü Mobile technologies Redefining the User Education ü Information Literacy ü Computer literacy ü Digital literacy Redefining the information society and information science ü Dr.SR Ranganathan's school of thought ü Relevance of Five Laws of Library Science in the present Internet era Redefining LIS education ü LIS as an Applied science ü LIS curriculum ü Collaboration of Library and LIS departments ü Library as a laboratory for LIS education ü Online Courses in LIS ü Open Educational Resources (OER) How to submit papers: Papers using the following author guidelines may please be submitted over email at: krmulla(a)gmail.com or krmulla(a)vtu.ac.in on or before the due date. Submit unpublished and original papers in MS-Word .doc or .docx format using Double Space and Times new Roman 12 font size Paper should have Title, Author/s name, Affiliation with complete address and E-mail address of authors, Abstract maximum of one paragraph and list of main Keywords.

Rapid acceleration and multiplication of the sources generating information are also observed. But the problem of availability accessibility, and use of information remains constant even in these days of ICT and digital technology. Content management is a way to help ensure easy flow and use of information in any environment. It is a process to create, manage and store information. Virtually it is an online information management. Content Management is, a newly coined term, in vogue for the past few years, although especially the business and corporate units have been handling it continuously for decades unknowingly, undefindly. Curiously, the term content management has evolved not by those who have been handling and using it but by the software communities. Content means information that is published or, made known to public. IASLIC being the national professional organization, its sole object is to extend its expertise to make the information professionals effective, help update and upgrade their knowledge and acumen to stimulate and strengthen the information activities. The present course with a little theoretical input would be practical based. *Course Contents* * * Defining Content Management Content Life Cycle Content Acquisition Why to Manage Content Fundamentals of Content Management Guidelines and Standards for Content Management Organisation and Storage of Contents Metadata Search Routines Content Management and Knowledge Management conflict or coalescence Content Management Team Practicals* Using Jumla* *Who can participate in the Workshop* * * Persons with MLIS Degree or working Professionals with at least BLIS/MCA degree employed in Library and Information Centres/Technical Information Centres/R & D Units/Academic Institutions or in MIS/DSS or in any other Information Centres in the corporate houses.

Dear Members,  On behalf of Jain University, Bangalore, I cordially invites you for the Special Lecture on  “Information sources in social sciences in a digital library environment: obstacles and opportunities” Speaker:    Dr .M.Krishnamurthy                    Faculty, DRTC        Indian Statistical Institute        Bangalore -560059   Date:  Friday 20th Sept, 2013 Time: 2.pm Venue: Ground Floor Seminar Hall-2 , Jain University, Jayanagar 9th Block, Bangalore- 69  Abstract: The information source infrastructure in social sciences needs to be strengthened. It is essential for social sciences in developing countries to pay much greater attention to the parochial nature of its knowledge and the need for indigenization. In a situation of digital resources are becoming more visible in the social science, use of these resources by scholars remains limited. Social Science disciplines have come to rely on computers and electronic communication for some of their daily work, but the use of digital information resources has yet to become routine. Digital libraries are still evolving, and librarians and other information professionals are just beginning to understand and exploit the computer’s ability to assist in the Social Science research process. Research on prerequisites for development of digital libraries by exploring user needs, capabilities and preferences as well as obstacles they encounter while using existing electronic inform! ation resources in a pre-digital environment. Social scientists study all aspects of society—from past events and achievements to human behavior and relationships among groups. Therefore, it is part of the social science institutions and associations make a strategy that the social science educational system be so arranged that researchers and students become accustomed to regarding Internet as a tool to be used in the learning process.    About Speaker:  Dr. M.

Fw: New iPhones put more polish on Apple's restrictions
by Dimple Patel 11 Sep '13

11 Sep '13

The announcement of Apple's new iPhone releases marks yet another highly anticipated product launch from the technology giant. As expected, the new iPhones will be faster, more powerful, and continue to hide the various anti-user restrictions behind a sleek and seductive user interface. Each release of a product or operating system from Apple means the latest and greatest they have to offer, including the strongest Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) technologies yet. The beauty of Apple products is how cleverly they use smooth curves and a shiny design to lock users into an experience controlled by a single corporation. The inner workings (or non-workings as the case may be) of its operating system, the availability of applications, and the low-level control over hardware are all hidden away from the public and tightly secured by Apple. As with previous iPhones, apps and devices come with a kill switch, third party peripherals are arbitrarily restricted, books and other media purchased from iTunes come with DRM, and all software must be cryptographically signed and approved by Apple. The iPhone 5s and 5c succeed in leaving their users at the mercy of Apple. The most anticipated new feature of the iPhone 5s is the inclusion of a new fingerprint scanner, which is advertised as an enhanced security feature tacked onto a software platform that lacks transparency, accountability, and is inherently untrustworthy. Rather than improving privacy and security, by encouraging users of the latest incarnations of the iPhone to use their fingerprints to unlock their device, Apple invites the possibility of verifying biometrically exactly who used an iPhone and at what time. We have seen Apple grow to more and more effectively lock down their hardware and software platforms, and in turn, lock in their users. Would-be Apple customers should be warned about the dangers Apple products create, and informed about the alternatives, workarounds, and ways to resist Apple's control. We invite anti-DRM activists to visit the Free Software Foundation's iPhone action page and send an email to Apple CEO Tim Cook letting him know that you won't buy an iOS device because of its proprietary software and DRM. Once you've done that, look into ways to use mobile devices without surrendering your freedom, such as Replicant and F-Droid. Sincerely, Kẏra Campaigns Organizer You can view this post online at https://defectivebydesign.org/iphone5c-warning. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Librarians are out of UGC's Minor and Major Project Scheme ??
by Ajay Kamble 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Dear all, It is clearly mentioned in UGC's new guidelines for Major and Minor Research Projects that : 1. For Major Research Projects, *Only the teaching faculty of Library Science, Physical Education, Principals and Vice-Chancellors will also be eligible to participate in the scheme. * 2. For Minor Research Projects,* * *Only the teaching faculty of Library Science, Physical Education will also be eligible to participate in the scheme. * 1. Two words "Only" and "also" are creating Chaos in every library professional's mind. 2. Whether UGC consider Librarians as the teaching faculty or academic staff? 3. Does it means Librarians are kept away from the benefits of this scheme. 4. Then why Table of Minor and Major Research projects are still there in the API form of Library professionals? -- Thanks and Regards, Ajay M.

LIBRARIES ISSUE REPORT ON GLOBAL INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT
by Ragaavendra R 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

Dear Moderator kindly circulate. LIBRARIES ISSUE REPORT ON GLOBAL INFORMATION ENVIRONMENT The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) has issued a report analysing emerging trends in today's global information environment. Against the background of a fast-changing information ecosystem, the IFLA Trend Report, conceived as a dynamic online platform instead of a static document, identifies five emerging trends in the fields of access to information, online education, privacy and data protection, hyper-connected societies and new technologies. An "insights paper," titled "Riding the Waves or Caught in the Tide? Insights form the IFLA Trend Report," was launched at the World Library and information Congress in Singapore on 19 August as a way to summarise the findings contained in the Trend Report website. According to IFLA, the development of new technologies will expand access to information for those that are familiar with digital tools, while people lacking digital literacy will experience additional access barriers. At the same time, online education will increase learning opportunities, and expanding data sets held by governments and companies may have significant consequences for individual privacy. In addition, hyper-connected societies will ease the coordination of collective actions, empowering non-state actors at the expense of traditional political parties. Finally, new technologies will redefine existing business models and transform the global information economy, IFLA said. Additional resources and a compilation of past contributions to the IFLA Trend Report online platform can be found here.

Call for Papers: On Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age (RLEA-2013)- National Conference at VTU, Belgaum
by Dr.K.R. Mulla 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

Dear Sir/Madam, I am happy to inform you that, Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) is organising a National Conference on “Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age (RLEA-2013)”, in the month of November, 2013. At VTU Campus, Belgaum. The role of Library and Information Centers in the present era is ever changing and the traditional services have taken a new shape in the light of developments in Information and Communication Technologies [ICTs]. Physical locations for ease of access to Library resources no longer an issue. Now Libraries are facilitating their users with 24 x 7 access using Internet Technology. Today physical use of libraries is declining drastically and most of the Librarians are expressing their concern over this development and are feeling insecure due to fall of user attendance in Libraries. This need not be the concern of Librarians. Today the users are techno-savvy and access more information than the earlier users. The libraries used to supply limited reference resources to their users earlier, but today’s users will get multiple resources on their fingertips. Hence the concern for Librarians of these days should be to redefine the role of Libraries in reaching out the right information to the right user at a right time. Hence a National Conference has been organized to provide a platform for discussing following main issues: Conference Theme: Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age Sub Themes: 1. Redefining library building • Effective utilization of physical space • Additional facilities for library users 2. Redefining the organization of knowledge • Classification • Cataloguing 3. Redefining collection development, Information sources and services • Collection development • Information sources and services • Electronic sources and services • Evaluation of Information Sources • Library networking and consortia • Open Access 4. Redefining the management of library and information centers • Planning • HRM & HRD • Financial management and budgeting • TQM • Knowledge management • Leadership and Public relations & Advocacy • Soft skills for librarians 5. Redefining the ICT applications for libraries • Integrated Library Management Software [ILMS] • Digital library technologies and digital preservation • Content Management Systems [CMS] • Internet technology • Open Source Software • Web 2.0 applications • Mobile technologies 6. Redefining the User Education • Information Literacy • Computer literacy • Digital literacy 7. Redefining the information society and information science • Dr.S.R. Ranganathan’s school of thought • Relevance of Five Laws of Library Science in the present Internet era 8. Redefining LIS education • LIS as an Applied science • LIS curriculum • Collaboration of Library and LIS departments • Library as a laboratory for LIS education • Online Courses in LIS • Open Educational Resources (OER) How to submit papers: Papers using the following author guidelines may please be submitted over email at: krmulla(a)vtu.ac.in or krmulla(a)gmail.com on or before the due date. • Submit unpublished and original papers in MS-Word .doc or .docx format using Double Space and Times new Roman 12 font size • Paper should have Title, Author/s name, Affiliation with complete address and E-mail address of authors, Abstract maximum of one paragraph and list of main Keywords. • References need to be as per APA (American Psychological Association) reference/citation Style guide • Tables or figures need to be incorporated in the text at appropriate places and numbered serially • Size of the paper (A4 size) between 4 and 8 pages Who can Participate?

Respected Sir/Madam i have earlier posted a survey questionnaire for getting a picture of Bibliographic Reference Management Usage Expertise among LIS professionals in India".I wonder why the response rate to the survey is almost low to reach at a conclusion.I think many of the professionals are getting bored in filling out a flood of such questionnaires in LIS forum.itis understood that this forum includes more than 7000 LIS professionals,Your responses are highly essential to take up further studies.so i request once again to participate in the survey. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QZ6drpu_rDUcZPRsMAnRBP942IBNMFA5C-DybI4Zyd… Regards Jasimudeen S librarian St.Stephens College Uzhavoor,Kerala jasim.in -- Jasimudeen.s *Life is like a document:what matter is how good it is ,not how long it is"* * * *"Be in touch,I am just a mail away not a mile away"..* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Members, It could be of interest to you. Regards, S M Pujar IGIDR, Mumbai ======== ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ASIS&T Continuing Education <education(a)asis.org> Date: Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 7:29 PM Subject: SIG III: Getting Published in Reputable International Journals and Other Publications To: pujar(a)igidr.ac.in ** ****** *SIG III: Getting Published in Reputable International Journals and Other Publications***** *Join us for a Webinar on September 4* *Free for ASIS&T members and non-members* <https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/215920822>**** *Space is limited.* Reserve your Webinar seat now at: http://www.asis.org/Conferences/webinars/Webinar-SIGIII-9-4-2013.html**** The ASIS&T Special Interest Group for International Information Issues (SIG III) has conducted over a dozen annual international paper contests where winning papers are published in the International Information and Library Review. However, some papers that are worthy of being published in the journal, are never published. Authors of those papers are often interested in learning about the policies and procedures for getting their papers submitted, reviewed, accepted, and eventually published in reputable international journals. In this webinar, three distinguished speakers, who are all current and/or past editors and/or members of editorial boards of a number of major international journals as well as other major publications, will address the following five broad questions and topics to provide webinar participants with an understanding of the process for evaluation and review of manuscripts: 1. How do you identify prestigious journals and conferences? 2. What fundamental characteristics of manuscripts and their contents would enhance the chance of their being accepted and, eventually, published? In other words, what are the characteristics of an ideal manuscript? 3. What problems and pitfalls should authors avoid in getting their manuscripts ready for submission to scholarly journals and publications? That is, what makes a manuscript likely to be rejected by editors in the first or subsequent rounds of review and evaluation? 4. Mentors and advisors often talk about finding a scholarly journal and/or publication that is a good fit for a manuscript and its contents. What does that mean and how can one tell? 5. What additional advice would you give specifically for scholars and authors from developing countries, including, but not limited to, those for whom English is not their native language? The speakers will also respond to participants’ specific questions. To submit your questions for the speakers (by August 30, 2013), please visit: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZJ9FXWF. **** **** *Title:***** *SIG III: Getting Published in Reputable International Journals and Other Publications***** *Date:***** Wednesday, September 4, 2013**** *Time:***** 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM EDT**** **** After registering you will receive a confirmation e-mail containing information about joining the Webinar.**** ** ** *System Requirements* PC-based attendees Required: Windows® 7, Vista, XP or 2003 Server**** Mac®-based attendees Required: Mac OS® X 10.6 or newer**** Mobile attendees Required: iPhone®, iPad®, Android™ phone or Android tablet **** If you do not wish to receive any further electronic marketing communications from ASIS&T you can opt-out completely, please note you will no longer receive Association updates or any conference information you may have subscribed to.

LIBRARY GROUP PUBLISHES USER GUIDE TO WIPO MARRAKESH TREATY
by Ragaavendra R 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Dear Moderator kindly circulate. LIBRARY GROUP PUBLISHES USER GUIDE TO WIPO MARRAKESH TREATY The Library Copyright Alliance (LCA) has released a user guide to the recently adopted "Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print Disabled." LCA is an organisation representing three major North American library associations. The Marrakesh Treaty requires its contracting parties to adopt copyright exceptions aimed at improving access to copyrighted works by print-disabled persons. The agreement was adopted by the members of the World Intellectual Property Organization at the end of a diplomatic conference held in Morocco last June (IPW, WIPO, 26 June 2013). The paper, authored by Jonathan Band and published on 13 August, described the main features of the treaty. It provides explanations of the various provisions of the agreement and its substantive obligations for copyright exceptions to the right of reproduction, distribution, and making available to the public of works in accessible format copies - such as Braille format. The author also illustrates provisions on import-export of accessible format copies and circumvention of technological protection measures. In addition, the guide indicates that the United States could ratify the Treaty without amending its domestic law, given that current US legislation complies with the agreement's provisions. Finally, the author suggests the Marrakesh Treaty could benefit visually impaired persons in the US who are interested in reading foreign language books thanks to its import-export scheme.
