One Day National Symposium on “Libraries: Managing Transition” Thursday, 22nd August 2013 at PES Institute of Technology, Bangalore – 85
by Rajendra Babu 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

TEQIP-II Sponsored One Day National Symposium on “Libraries: Managing Transition” Organized in association with KARNATAKA STATE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION (KALA) On Thursday, 22nd August 2013 (9.00 AM to 5.00 PM) Venue: Techpark Seminar Hall, PES Institute of Technology, Bangalore – 560085 What is this symposium about? There are indications that higher education institutions are entering a period of flux. A trend in recent years has been the rise of online instruction and degree programmes. Even in mainstream colleges offering on-campus programmes there is a certain amount of skepticism among managers of higher education institutions on the ‘return on investment’ in a college library. College libraries must prove the value they provide to the academic enterprise: “unless we give our funding bodies better and more compelling reasons to support libraries, they will be forced by economic reality to stop doing so”; not a very happy situation to be in! However, there is also a bright spot as the BBC programme in 2012 entitled, “The Library Returns” suggested. College librarians must be able to convert the general feelings of goodwill towards the library to effective communication to all stakeholders that clearly articulate the value and utility of the library to the academic community. How do we innovate and re-design library services and continue to be relevant in the emerging situation? This workshop is intended to answer this question. A few librarians will share their experiences and demonstrate what they have done to reinvent their own libraries. The focus will be on acquiring, enabling access & effective utilization of e-resources, new services / activities that are implementable with no additional resources. Who should attend? We welcome all librarians, especially librarians from professional colleges, to attend the workshop. There will be one open session to allow all those who have introduced innovative practices to share and showcase their experiences. Resource Persons: Since our idea is to make the participants hear from the ‘horse’s mouth’, the resource persons will be librarians who have done something different in their own institutions; they will tell the participants and also demonstrate what they have done and how their library users reacted to these. Registration: There is no registration fee for attending and participating in the symposium. However, all those desirous of participating in the Workshop must register online. Click here to Register Now Certificates: Attendance and participation certificates would be issued to all the registered participants For further enquires please contact: Mr. Subhash Reddy B Organizing Secretary and Librarian I/C Library & Learning Resource Center PES Institute of Technology (PESIT) 100 Ft.

by Vinod Kumar Mishra 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

Dear All, I wish you all Very Happy Librarians Day. I would like to say all New generation and eminent LIS professionals that the Five Laws of Library Science is the only mantra of Success in this profession, many people thinking that they already got the top positions so they are success but it is not correct, if your users/staff are not happy with your services, you are not capable to know changing pattern of services, you could not able to prove as a public relation officer etc. then its not only bad for you but you are spreading bad reputation of the whole LIS profession. If for any reason you are not able to decide what to do?, how to do?, when to do?, where to do? etc. Then i give you a excellent Mantra to handle the situation and success which are as follows: 1. Books are for Use 2. Every Reader His/Her Book 3. Every Book its Reader 4. Save the Time of the Reader 5. Library is a Growing Organism Dear Professionals you keep always Five Laws and its implications in your mind and write it on Walls of your Library/Chamber it will always remind you about best decisions and your Job responsibility in Public Interest. This mantra given by Dr. Ranganathan is Universally accepted and never obsolete even in digital era. Thanking You and once again Very Happy Librarian Day!

Reg article of Dr Anil Singh
by rajesh kumar 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

An article on the LIS subject has been published in the University News 51(30) July 29-Aug04,2013.The author ,Dr Anil Singh, may be given credit to highlight some of the pathetic situation being visible for quite a long time in this profession. Time has come when MHRD and UGC must take due initiative to ensure quality education, proper training, fair selection in LIS..Dr Singh has rightly pointed out pathetic situation in the universities as some deptts lack proper/regular faculties, basic infrastructure like computers and relevant s/w,research oriented education,etc.There are only few institutions in India which have still maintained the quality output. Dr Chattopadhyaya Committee had recommended to start an Indian Library Service on par with other All India Services.Howerver for one or other reason the GOI didnt take any initiatives in this direction. Dr Singh has rightly stated that nepotism & favouritims both have reserved their berths in this profession.His suggestion with regard to selection of Asstt Librarian/Asstt Professor by UPSC or like institute is worthwhile. I congratulate Dr Singh for his courage and fair treatment of the subject.

Discussion on "Promoting Open Access Amongst Young Researchers" at WSIS.
by Sridhar Gutam 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

Dear All, There is a discussion started by ms. Barnali on "Promoting Open Access amongst young researchers" at WSIS ( http://www.wsis-community.org/pg/forum/topic/834997/promoting-open-access-a… ) Here is the text of the post written by Ms. Barnali ( barna.chakrabarti(a)gmail.com) {Apologies for cross posting} I am currently assisting the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) in developing Curriculum and Self-Directed Learning (SDL) Tool for Open Access for researchers and library and information professionals as a project of UNESCO. The UNESCO adopted Open Access strategy in 2011, and with effect from 1st July 2013 it has become fully Open Access. Capacity building to promote Open Access is one of the important strands of the UNESCO strategy. The UNESCO Open Access Forum 2011 also recommended training of young researchers and library professionals on Open Access. In the last week, I requested for help on articulating the training needs of library professionals, and this week I would like to request the stakeholders to think about what new researchers should know about Open Access. We believe that the OA awareness of the researchers that can make the Open Access movement more successful. In subject disciplines, where the researchers are more aware and have common goals, the amount of information available in OA is much higher than other disciplines. So, it is always better to follow the principle of "catch them young", and include a short training curriculum on OA for every researcher working for their doctoral degree. This can be a pre-doctoral work as well. If such a programme is to be organized, what are the knowledge, skills and attitude that should be covered in the training? In a survey conducted amongst researchers in a prestigious national university revealed that most of the respondents indicated limited participation in open access mode of communications either as users or as contributors. The study also revealed that their participation can be increased through appropriate training, and awareness creation. So, what you think as the areas that should be covered in OA training for researchers? Your response will help us to articulate more precisely the topics related to knowledge, skills and attitudes for Open Access. If you want to share more on the topic privately, kindly do so in the E-mails: smishra.col(a)gmail.com and barna.chakrabarti(a)gmail.com Regards, Barnali Roy Choudhury Project Associate (Open Access) Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) 13/14 Sarv Priya Bihar New Delhi- 110016 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2013 11:04:31 +0530 From: Ragaavendra R <Ragaavendra_R(a)jubilantbiosys.com> Dear Moderator kindly circulate. OXFORD DICTIONARIES GOING BILINGUAL With internet making print dictionaries redundant, Oxford University Press is now focusing on bilingual dictionaries and mobile applications to maintain its presence in the market. "Though our print dictionaries continue to sell in India but there has been a slowdown in demand. However, the demand for our bilingual dictionaries has been growing at the rate of 20-25 per cent per year," Ranjan Kaul, Managing Director of Oxford University Press India, told PTI here. The publishers of the world's most definitive work on English already have bilingual dictionaries in Hindi, Marathi, Odia, Kannada, Gujarati and Telugu while their Bengali one was launched here recently. "We are now trying to add more Indian languages on the list like Malayalam, Punjabi, Assamese, etc., as the aspiration to learn English is growing in smaller towns and cities all over the country," Kaul said.

Discussion on Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes required by Librarians for Open Access
by Mailing List Admin 05 Aug '13

05 Aug '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 10:52:59 +0530 From: Sridhar Gutam <gutam2000(a)gmail.com> I am currently assisting the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) in developing Curriculum and Self-Directed Learning (SDL) Tool for Open Access for researchers and library and information professionals as a project of UNESCO. The UNESCO adopted Open Access strategy in 2011, and with effect from 1 July 2013 it has become fully Open Access. Capacity building to promote Open Access is one of the important strands of the UNESCO strategy. The UNESCO Open Access Forum 2011 also recommended training of young researchers and library professionals on Open Access. As a first step, we would like to seek help of experts though a discussion on this platform to identify Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes needed for Open Access by Library and Information Professionals and Researchers. So, we will have two strands of discussion: One for Librarians and the other for Researchers. This week we start with training needs for Librarians� Librarians play a significant role in providing access to peer reviewed information published in journals and help manage local repositories. Sometime back we did a Delphi study with select experts, which revealed the following as key areas for the librarians to study: Module 1: Foundations 1. Introduction to Open Access: Definition, types (green, gold, delayed), OA journals (gold and hybrid), OA books, OA repositories, benefits, barriers (publisher resistance), philosophy of access to knowledge, disciplinary trends; Open Access Policy development, including funder policies 2. Copyrights and licensing mechanisms for Open Access, such as the creative commons licenses, copyleft and publishers' embargo in self-archiving Module 2: Practical Options and Systems 3. Repositories and issues involved in creating and maintaining repositories, author self-archiving 4. Open Access Journal publishing systems and processes Module 3: Initiatives, Implications and Issues 5. Searching of Open Access information (Vehicles for Open Access: OAIster and other Open Access Search Engines, PubMed), Metadata related issues, SHERPA RoMEO, DOAJ, DOAB, GOAP, OA Map, etc. 6. Impact of Open Access on dissemination of knowledge, citation advantages, estimating impact; Changing practices in scholarly communication, including open peer review, emerging approaches to recognition of scholarly works 7. Implications of online-only format for long-term preservation of OA content (Google Books, Internet Archive, Hathi Trust, other non-U.S. large initiatives) While this is useful, we need to identify the Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes to develop the curriculum and content learning materials. You may also like to comment on the suitability of the above topics. If you want to share more on the topic privately, kindly do so in the emails: smishra.col(a)gmail.com and barna.chakrabarti(a)gmail.com With Regards, Barnali Roy Choudhury Project Associate (Open Access) Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia 13/14 Sarv Priya Bihar New Delhi 110016 www.cemca.org
