Is this the world’s “most awesome library”?
by Jayadev P Hiremath 08 Jan '13

Is this the world’s “most awesome library”? by Kevin Murphy That depends on whether you’re the type of person who agrees that bionic librarians, chaise lounges and the ability to converse at an above-whisper volume is preferable to the hushed, green lamp, bookshelf environment that’s been the norm for the last century. This February, the students and faculty of North Carolina State University will officially unveil their preference when the new James B. Hunt Library in Raleigh celebrates its grand opening. More than six years in the making, and designed by Snøhetta (the firm behind New York’s 9/11 Memorial), the library is garnering much praise from media and architecture firms alike for its innovative use of technology and a layout that encourages student interaction and collaboration. The AP reports: 1.5 million books are stored in more than 18,000 metal bins, retrievable by robots when a student requests one. The book robot, known as a bookBot … slides between rows of bins 50 feet deep and 120 feet high. A staffer files a student’s request for a book on a computer, and the robot locates the right bin, pulls it out and leaves the bin in front of the staffer, who locates the right book and takes it to the student. To save room, the books are stored by size, not another filing system. And the system does save space, taking up about one-ninth of the room needed to store 1.5 million books on shelves. When students look for a book, however, they can see it on a virtual shelf as they would under the Library of Congress system. But they also can refine the search by other parameters — for peer-reviewed material, for example — and the virtual shelf will reconfigure itself to those refinements. More than robots fetching books (how ironic!), the library’s real leap into the future gains focus when looking at the space’s floor plan, which seems to find inspiration in the Google/Facebook/Twitter type of offices currently employing an “open” and “fun” environment that’s supposedly conducive to brainstorming and collaboration. To wit, there are 100 areas for collaborative study; walls made of whiteboards; a traditional library area with about 40,000 books on shelves; and a snack bar on the first floor. And yes, food and drink are allowed here. As is talking. The more than 20 styles of funky chairs, including a sort of continuous chaise lounge, caught the eye of Jennifer Leary, a first-year doctoral student in textiles from San Francisco. The layout is conducive to studying, she said. “As a student, when you come into a library, you kind of want to find your space,” she said. “And all the variety gives you freedom to think, ‘OK, do I want to be in a rigid chair today or more laid back? Do I want to be near the window? What kind of view do I want to see?’ Such developments signal a change in expectations. Rather than quiet places of study, surrounded by rows and rows of books, the library of the future houses books in closed stacks and tends to be a place where ideas are conceived and shared, becoming much more like a laboratory, where inspiration arrives as much from discussion as words written on paper. Open offices and libraries work for some, not others. When it comes to whether these spaces actually increase creativity and synchronize workflow, the jury is still out. But one thing is for sure, colleges and universities increase their appeal when showing off shiny, technologically advanced libraries to potential students — and the James B. Hunt Library is not just a gift for students, it’s an investment on the part of the taxpayers of North Carolina, who contributed $115 million to the 220,000-square-foot-building. So far it’s been a wise investment, at least according to real estate and architecture site Curbed.com, which says “Raleigh, N.C., has seen the future … [the James B. Hunt Library] may even be enough to reseat MVRDV’s Book Mountain as the world’s most awesome library.” -- Warm regards.

Inside The Library of Congress's Mission To Organize 170 Billion Tweets
by Jayadev P Hiremath 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Library of Congress says it's amassed about 170 billion tweets since it began collecting an archive of all Twitter messages in 2010. Twitter is donating its archive to the library, going back to the first one posted in 2006. Library Director of Communications Gayle Osterberg wrote in a blog post Friday that the volume of tweets it receives has grown from 140 million daily in February 2011 to nearly half a billion tweets each day in late 2012. Librarians have been developing a system to preserve and organize the collection. Now the library is shifting its focus to handle the technical challenges of making such a massive archive available to researchers. The library may work with a private partner to provide access because its own search technology is slow. Inside The Library of Congress's Mission To Organize 170 Billion Tweets By Sarah Kessler | January 4, 2013 Turning 170 billion tweets into a usable archive is a challenge that the nation's largest library has never seen before. The Deputy Librarian of Congress talks with Fast Company about where to start. When the Library of Congress began archiving new tweets in February 2011, it would transfer about 140 million new tweets each day from temporary servers onto magnetic film. By the next October, that number had soared to about 400 million tweets per day. There are now about 170 billion tweets in the archive, which also includes a collection of all tweets going back to 2006 that the library acquired from Twitter in 2010. The library’s two compressed copies of the data total 133.2 terabytes. “It’s a few cabinets of tape,” explains Robert Dizard, the deputy librarian at the Library of Congress. “It’s not a roomful or roomfuls. And that’s just a testament of the storage capacity of tape.” The size of Twitter is on the order of the size of the Internet, just in tweets instead of web pages. Since the library signed an agreement with Twitter in 2010 that gave it access to historical tweets, a small team of its staff have been working to establish a sustainable process for acquiring and storing tweets. Now they’re transitioning their efforts to the significantly more difficult challenge of providing access to the archive they've built. Running a search term through a body of data as big as the tweet archive, Dizard says, could take more than 24 hours. The archived tweets are already indexed by time, but an hour of tweets could contain millions of 140-character snippets--not so helpful for someone doing research about a specific topic. The library has experience with large digital collections. It regularly archives, for instance, websites, government databases, and policy events. But Twitter is new territory. “It’s not only very large,” Dizard says. “It’s expanding daily and at an increasing velocity. The variety of tweets is high.” Not even Twitter, which employs some of the best engineers in Silicon Valley, has attempted to create a searchable archive of tweets. That’s partly because the commercial demand for historical access pales in comparison to that for real-time advertising. But the massive server space and resources such a project would consume are certainly another factor. Jamie de Guerre, VP Product at Topsy, a private company that provides some access to the Twitter archive, compares the task of indexing Twitter to indexing the entire Internet. “Google’s index of the entire Internet ranges from about, in some estimates, 45 billion web pages to 125 billion web pages,” he told Fast Company in a recent interview. “So the size of Twitter is on the order of the size of the Internet, just in tweets instead of web pages. Having all of that data available, being able to query across and return a large data file to a user is definitely quite a challenge.” In its first step to addressing the challenge, the library is talking with third-party companies that could potentially manage access to the archive. Given current resources, a solution for access is not likely to be a search engine that can locate a specific tweet. Dizard says he has no idea how a viable solution might look, but that abandoning the project isn't an option. “Our mission is to collect, preserve, and provide access to creative and historical record of America,” he says. “We’re looking at Twitter from a research and scholarship perspective as providing a reflection of everyday life as well as showing the development and impact of significant events. You also have the record and recordings of individuals. Which are also valuable.” “I look at Twitter as a start of what the Library will be doing in the medium and long-term,” Dizard says. “Not a test of whether we’ll collect social media at all.” -- Warm regards.

Dear LIS Forum Moderator, Please post the below given message to LIS Forum Members: Thank you, Prof.C.K. RAMAIAH ******************************** ‘Electronic Resources Management in Libraries’ Book Released** * * A glittering Function was organised on 29 December 2012 at the Acharya NG Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU) Teachers Home, Hyderabad to Felicitate Dr A.L. Moorthy, former Director, DESIDOC, Delhi. On the occasion, Dr Justice Y. Bhaskara Rao, former Chief Justice of Karnataka, former Chairman, AP State Human Rights Commission and former Member, National Human Rights Commission and presently President, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan (Hyderabad & Secunderabad) released the felicitation volume titled *Electronic Resources Management in Libraries* in the presence of Shri K. Narasimha, IPS, DIG (Retd) & former Chairman, AP Public Service Commission, Hyderabad and Dr S.S. Murthy, former Director, DESIDOC, DRDO, Delhi. Shri M Jagannadham, IAS, Jt Collector and Guest of Honour, Hyderabad could not attend the Meeting due to official exigencies. The function organised by Dr. A.L. Moorthy Felicitation Committee members and presided by Prof. L.S. Ramaiah, former University Librarian, CIEFL, Hyderabad was attended by more than 100 senior Library & Information Science (LIS) professionals. The book is edited by Dr CK Ramaiah, Professor & Head, Dept of LIS, Pondicherry University and published by Allied Publishers, Delhi. Dr A.L. Moorthy, rendered more than 33 years of service in Satish Dhawan Space Centre, ISRO, Srihari Kota, Defence Electronics Research Laboratory (DLRL), Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Hyderabad and DESIDOC, Delhi (all DRDO) in various capacities. He superannuated on 30 June 2012 as Director, DESIDOC, Delhi. As mark of honour, some of his friends and well wishers brought out a Festschrift volume. Dr. A. L. Moorhty’s contributions to LIS profession are significant and noteworthy. He introduced many new services and innovative techniques for optimal utilization of information resources. He established digital libraries at DRDL and at DESIDOC. He created web-based and project oriented information services to all R&D scientists of DRDO through its intranet. He has guided the development of Library Automation Software, Database of Library Holdings and Union Catalogue of Periodical Holdings. He improved the quality, coverage, content and timely publication of periodicals both as Editor for a decade and as Editor-in-Chief. He was instrumental in starting new publications like Technology Focus, DRDO Monographs & Special Publications. He has initiated and realized DRDO Consortium for providing online access of over 550 R&D journals to all DRDO Labs. He established Knowledge Repository of DRDO Technical Reports and an Institutional Repository of papers published by DRDO scientists. Dr Justice Bhaskara Rao told that the volume contains 39 high quality papers written by experts from the field and the subject is highly relevant in the contemporary developments in the LIS field. He extensively quoted many Sanskrit *slokas* enunciating the value of education and Knowledge and the role of libraries in furthering them. Shri Narasimha mentioned that the research papers published in the volume covered various areas including digital resource management and intellectual property rights. He felt that R&D in the country is used for both human developments as well as for destruction like atomic bombs and emphasized LIS professionals to see that R&D should be used for Societal development.

It is a freely available teaching tool designed to be a student's first exposure to programming. In Alice, 3-D objects (e.g., people, animals, and vehicles) populate a virtual world and students create a program to animate the objects.

Bedbugs Found In U Of Washington Library Books
by Jayadev P Hiremath 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

The Seattle Times Bedbugs hitching rides in books? Yep, and it's happening here. A New York Times piece about bedbugs and other crawly creatures showing up in library books says the problem is occurring across the country — including at the University of Washington. The article quotes Stephanie Lamson, head of preservation services at the University of Washington Libraries, saying she has put bug-infested books in plastic bags and then into freezers to kill the critters. Lamson said twice in August, circulation-desk employees at the UW Libraries saw insects crawling in returned books. She immediately put the books in a freezer in the natural-history museum, at temperatures of minus 18 degrees Fahrenheit. -- Warm regards.

Google launches Dead Sea Scrolls online library
by Jayadev P Hiremath 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

Google launches Dead Sea Scrolls online library More than six decades since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls - and thousands of years after they were written - Israel on Tuesday put 5,000 images of the ancient biblical artifacts online in a partnership with Google. The digital library contains the Book of Deuteronomy, which includes the second listing of the Ten Commandments, and a portion of the first chapter of the Book of Genesis, dated to the first century B.C. Israeli officials said this is part of an attempt by the custodians of the celebrated manuscripts - often criticized for allowing them to be monopolized by small circles of scholars - to make them broadly available. "Only five conservators worldwide are authorized to handle the Dead Sea Scrolls," said Shuka Dorfman, director of the Israel Antiquities Authority. "Now, everyone can touch the scroll on screen around the globe." Last year, Google partnered with the Israel Museum to put five scrolls online. Dead Sea scrolls go online The scrolls, considered one of the most significant archaeological finds of the 20th century, are thought to have been written or collected by an ascetic Jewish sect that fled Jerusalem to the desert 2,000 years ago and settled at Qumran, near the shore of the Dead Sea. The hundreds of manuscripts found in caves near the site have shed light on the development of the Hebrew Bible and the origins of Christianity. Google says the new digital library took two years to assemble, using technology first developed by NASA. The multimedia website allows users to zoom in on various fragments, with translations and Google maps alongside. Google hopes to further expand its project. Two months ago Google launched a "Cultural Institute," a digital visual archive of historical events in cooperation with 17 museums and institutes around the world. "We're working to bring important cultural and historical materials online and help preserve them for future generations," said Yossi Matias, head of Google's Research and Development Center in Israel. "Our partnership with the Israel Antiquities Authority is another step toward enabling users to enjoy cultural material around the world." -- Warm regards.

Quora Just Launched A Major Salvo At Google With Its Plan To Become The Internet's 'Library Of Alexandria'
by Jayadev P Hiremath 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

http://www.businessinsider.com Quora CEO Adam D'Angelo is nothing if not ambitious. He just announced plans to dramatically expand the site's goals beyond just asking and answering questions, declaring in a blog post that he hoped to build "an Internet-scale Library of Alexandria." That's an implicit challenge to Google, which has long declared its mission to be "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." But D'Angelo noted in his post that the ""vast majority of human knowledge is still not on the Internet. Most of it is trapped in the form of experience in people's heads, or buried in books and papers that only experts can access." Besides asking and answering questions, Quora allows users to write posts about topics on boards, or topical discussion forums on the site. D'Angelo's announcement suggests that Quora will be dramatically expanding such general-purpose writing tools, in competition with Twitter, WordPress, and other Web-publishing options.

Obama library battle: Chicago vs. Hawaii
by Jayadev P Hiremath 30 Dec '12

30 Dec '12

David Jackson, USA TODAY The battle is on for part of President Obama's legacy: The presidential library. The University of Chicago and the University of Hawaii -- schools from Obama's home city and his birth state -- have expressed interest in hosting the library that will hold records from President Obama's administration. Every president since Herbert Hoover has sponsored a library; the George W. Bush library is scheduled to be dedicated next year in Dallas. The Chicago Tribune reports on the competition for the Obama facility: "The University of Hawaii, where the president's parents attended school, has made no secret of its campaign to lure the library to Honolulu. The Hawaii Legislature passed a resolution calling on Obama to choose the state for the library and a committee of government and civic leaders has been put in place to lobby for it. "The (University of Chicago), where Obama was a member of the law school faculty for 12 years, is widely considered the front-runner, though university officials have been tight-lipped about its efforts. However, officials at the National Archives and Records Administration, which administers 13 presidential libraries, confirmed that the U. of C. has expressed interest. "A U. of C. spokesman raised the possibility that a presidential library could be built off campus ... "Wherever it lands, it won't come cheap. (Bill) Clinton's library cost $165 million. The George W. Bush Foundation raised more than $300 million for his. A law passed by Congress in 2008 requires each president's foundation, which raises private money to build the library, to place 60 percent of the cost of the library in an endowment to offset the government's operating and maintenance costs once it opens. "The cost of Obama's library could spiral to $500 million, depending on how elaborate it is, library experts say." -- Warm regards.

Library Science and Kerala University - Nothing new in the attitude
by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 26 Dec '12

26 Dec '12

Dear friendsI dont find something new in the attitude of Kerala University towards library science and working librarians. I was a student of Kerala University during 1983. After that I wanted to have my Masters through some distance course as I did not get a chance at Kerala University. Since I was working in Government of Kerala, never had a chance to get deputed also. I wanted to try Madras University distance course in the year 1991. I came to know that the Kerala University do not recognize the Madras distance course. I approached all doors at that time including the faculty at Kerala university . But my requests were unheard by the authorities. I know that at that time also the faculty were engaged as examines for such distance courses. This is not a blame at all but as I got a chance to open up my mind I am writing this. The department never helped the librarians in the Kerala Government to come up. We had all sorts of hindrance! s and those who have come up have reached there through their own efforts. Hence it is my humble request to the faculty at Kerala University that please open up yourself and provide avenues for the working professionals.   Dr GOPAKUMAR V.

Meet Mr Mugesan - the barefoot librarian
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 26 Dec '12

26 Dec '12

Mr Murgesan of Dindukkal in Tamilnadu is a rare personality. Born in Kumaran Thandalam village near Alankanallur in Madurai, he is a 72 year old librarian cum second handbook seller with a difference. He enjoys procuring and supplying books in Tamil Language, culture and literature useful MPhil and PhD Scholars in several universities.He has studied only up to second class! He developed a taste for books when he was running a shop for waste paper. Books and pamphlets attracted him. Started attending free seminars, debates, conferences etc. He had the opportunity of many students and teachers visiting his shop because of useful collection of books. He has named his children: IRaiMani, IRaiRani, IRaiMalar, IRaiEeasan etc. IRai stands for God in Tamil. Some customers who were surprised by his devotion to Tamil language and culture, though utterly uneducated in a formal sense, suggested that he supplies books to university research students.He has been peddling his wares with sack load of books on his back for about twenty years. He is fondly referred to as "Putthaga Taathaa" (old man with books) by students. He has helped a few thousand students to complete their research courses. One Susheela Gopalan mentioned his contribution and acknowledged his help in her PhD thesis. Since then, quite a large number of Research dissertations include his name in acknowledged page. As a librarian, I can say this is a direct honor for self less work. Murugesan does not charge anything specific for his service. He accepts whatever is given happily. He buys season ticket from Dindukkal to Madurai regularly. Within cities and towns he goes by bus or walk. Any book required by a scholar is located (within a week utmost) in a book shop or library, bought / borrowed and delivered at the residence of customer. All out of love for helping academics. He is proud to mention that the ice Chancellor of Tamil University Tanjavur, Ma Thirumalai and HOD of Tamil Dept, Smt Chandira are among his beneficiaries. They have referred a large number of students to him. [image: Inline image 1] His heart is full of contentment and happiness. If this is not a story of productive ageing what else can be?

Dear All, A phone call from Surender Kumar, ICAR, Indore broke a very sad news today. Mrs. Sushila A. Motiwale breathed her last on 24 December 2012. Mrs. Motiwale was a very good human being and a dedicated teacher. She instituted the 'IATLIS-Motiwale Best LIS Teacher Award' in 1980s to motivate and reassure the LIS teachers. In her last letter to me, she has expressed the desire that this is a national award and it should be equally given to best LIS teachers from all states and UTs in India. I had the opportunity to work with her for about six months in Jabalpur in 1985-86. I feel very sad on her demise. It is difficult for me to believe this news. Let us pray to God, the Almighty, to rest her soul in peace and provide courage to the family members to bear this irreparable loss.

SC relief to NET Candidates
by Kiran 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

Dear professional friends, See the today Times of India newspaper 24/12/2012 page no.3SC relief to NET candidatesTNN | Dec 24, 2012, 04.19 AM IST PUNE: In a relief to thousands of aspirants taking the national<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/The-National>eligibility test (NET), the UGC has withdrawn its decision to increase the cut-off marks for clearing the NET, following a Supreme Court order on Friday. The UGC had increased the eligibility score by 15% without notice. The national educational testing bureau of the UGC conducts the NET for determining the eligibility for lectureship and for awarding junior research fellowship to ensure minimum standards for the entrants in the teaching profession and research. The NET is conducted in June and December every year. The UGC, however, made several changes in the June 2012 exam, including increasing the cut-off marks. The candidates learnt about the changes only when the UGC announced it a day after announcing the results of the exam on September 18. As per the initial notification, candidates belonging to the SC/ST sections needed 35, 35, and 60 marks respectively for qualifying papers 1, 2 and 3. The marks to be obtained by the OBCs were set as 35, 35, and 68 and for those belonging to the general category it was 40, 40, and 75. But, when the results were announced, candidates who would've been eligible as per the initial criteria failed to qualify. As per the new criteria, the percentage of marks to be scored by candidates belonging to different categories has been increased by 15%. This made several students file an affidavit with the SC against the UGC regarding change in norms. On Friday, the SC issued an order saying that the UGC's decision was invalid as it did not follow the exam policy in announcing the changes in cut-offs and that, too, in such a short period of time. An official at the University of Pune that conducts the NET exam said, "The SC decision is valid for all candidates who sat for the June 2012 examinations. The old cut-offs will be considered and new results will be announced." Dear friends let us hope for revised UGC-NET 2012 result soon. -- *G.
