Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 240, Issue 6 : Sad demise of Dr Ishwar Bhat
by Yalagouda M Patil 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Extremely saddened to hear the sad demise of Dr Ishwar Bhat. We were class fellows during BLISc course at KUD during 1971-1972 and he secured 1st Rank. He served in British Council Libraries, BITS, Pilani and Presidency University as a Chief Librarian and Pro-Vice Chancellor. He established him-self as one of the leading library professionals. He always used to say KUD library science products are made of entirely different fabrics Pray God to give strength to the bereaved family and let his soul rest in peace.

Open science in France and India
by Subbiah Arunachalam 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

Friends, Rob Johnson <https://twitter.com/rschrobUK> @rschrobUK <https://twitter.com/rschrobUK> says in a tweet, "The new French Open Science Monitor is a model of good #openscience <https://twitter.com/hashtag/openscience?src=hashtag_click> practice (open method, data, code, downloads available in multiple formats), as well as having lots of pretty graphs to play around with. Well worth a look! Please see https://frenchopensciencemonitor.esr.gouv.fr/?id=publishers.type-ouverture. The French Ministry of Higher Education and Research deserves to be congratulated. Let us hope DST's CHORD (NSTMIS) Division and the Department of Higher Education in the Ministry/UGC will soon come up with such reports and pleasing infographics. Or one of our enterprising LIS professionals may write a paper on the status of open science in India.

Open access in India: It is time for concerted action
by Subbiah Arunachalam 18 Apr '23

18 Apr '23

Fellow information scientists and librarians, When Dr T B Rajashekar, the founder of LIS-Forum passed away in June 2005, Prof. N Balakrishnan and I wrote "The best tribute the LIS professionals in this country could pay to Raja is to set up institutional open access archives as soon as possible and fill them with papers, modernize their curricula and teach their students the values practiced by him." See https://www.southampton.ac.uk/~harnad/Hypermail/Amsci/4589.html. Raja was the first in India and one of the earliest in the world to set up an institutional open access repository. Raja's able deputy Dr Francis Jayakanth hosts an annual memorial lecture as well as carries on with the wonderful discussion forum, one of the largest of its kind in the world (with over 6,000 members), and also continues with the IISc's Eprints repository. But the status of OA in the country as a whole is, if I may say that, depressing. According to *Web of Science *data, with only about 30% of papers from India available as open access (as of 2021), India is third from the bottom in a list of about 200 countries in % share of OA documents, just above North Korea (293 papers, 18.8% OA) and French Polynesia (one paper, 0% OA). India, with over 1,37,000 papers in 2021, is seventh in terms of number of papers published. In a country where there are 55,000 higher education institutions (more than 1,170 universities, nearly 43,800 colleges and 11,300 stand-alone institutions) [ https://www.statista.com/statistics/660862/higher-education-institutions-by…] we have less than 150 institutional open access repositories today. According to Manju Naika and Sandeep Pathak in *Nature*, "as of April 2020, the UK-based Directory of Open Access Repositories ( Open DOAR <https://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/opendoar/> ) listed 92 such repositories in India. Besides institute-level repositories, India has set up several national ones to promote OA."[https://www.nature.com/articles/nindia.2020.125] Most of these repositories are incomplete; not all papers published by an institution's researchers find their way into the institution's repository. But a large number of LIS graduates and academic and research librarians write papers about open access. There are some bright spots, though. For example, two Indian academic librarians have won international recognition (the EPT award) for making outstanding contributions to the promotion of OA in a developing country [ https://poynder.blogspot.com/2012/01/oa-interviews-francis-jayakanth-of.html and http://www.icrisat.org/newsroom/latest-news/happenings/happenings1609.htm#7 ]. One of them persuaded his institute's Director to mandate OA for all research papers, at a time when there were less than a dozen OA mandates worldwide. Two Secretaries to the Government of India, one heading DSIR and the other heading both DST and DBT, took less than a few seconds to accept the suggestion to make all papers resulting from their funding open access! Their decisions led to the setting up of CSIR Central and Science Central at CSIR-URDIP, Pune, as well as many IRs in the CSIR, DST and DBT laboratories. In the early days of the OA movement, starting from 2000, three great institutions, viz. M S Swaminathan Research Foundation, Indian Academy of Sciences and the Indian Institute of Science, and not to forget the then fledgling Centre for Internet & Society, provided invaluable support to the movement. A large number of global experts - including Stevan Harnad, Alma Swan, Barbara Kirsop, Leslie Chan, Leslie Carr, John Willinsky, Abel Packer and others - visited India to promote the culture of OA. Although Peter Suber and Richard Poynder have not visited India, they have done much to promote OA in India (and the world). We even tried and succeeded in persuading the CGIAR management, based on the experience of ICRISAT, Hyderabad, to adopt a system-wide open access policy [ https://poynder.blogspot.com/2010/05/] and thought of strengthening the culture of OA in other emerging economies such as China, Brazil and South Africa. [See Barbara Kirsop, *Current Science*, Vol. 92 (10 Feb 2007), 276-77]. Prof. Balaram wrote many editorials in *Current Science* on the need to adopt OA, especially OA archiving. And yet, as of 2021, *only about 30% of India's papers (as per Web of Science, * *lens.org <http://lens.org> and COKI) are OA. India is third from the bottom in a list of about 200 countries in terms of % of OA publications.* The situation would have been far better had our scientists and scholars self-archived their papers and had our friends in the LIS community put in diligent efforts to set up IRs. People like Prof. ARD Prasad, Dr D K Sahu, the late Dr Rajashekar, Dr Francis Jayakanth and Muthu Madhan have put in much effort in training librarians in setting up such facilities. We have been talking about OA for a long time. It is high time we walk the talk.

Friends, This message was received on Twitter from Prof. Diwan S Rawat: "Finally after 10 years of sustained hard work our work on Parkinson got accepted by Nature Communication. The molecule has been taken up by Boston based Pharma industry to develop as a drug for the treatment of Parkinson disease! This is the hybrid molecule consisting aminoquinoline and pyrimidine pharmacophore. Prof Kim from McLean Hospital Boston is our collaborator. This molecule activate Nurr1 receptor that stops death of dopamin neuron, it also stops aggregation of alpha synuclien." We have to wait till the paper appears in Nature Communication to know the details! The authors have to pay more than $10,000 to Springer-Nature as publication charges. They could have made it available to everyone by placing the paper in medRxiv at no cost! Most likely the research was carried out with public funding/taxpayers' money.

We understand that the LIS-Forum discussion list is a vital platform for Indian library professionals, and we regret any inconvenience caused by the downtime. However, I am pleased to inform you that the service is now up and running, and we are working to ensure minimal downtime during such outages in the future. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

How much does India collectively pay major journal publishers annually towards subscriptions to journals?
by Subbiah Arunachalam 11 Apr '23

11 Apr '23

Friends, I need some information. Some members of this forum, esp. those who hold senior administrative positions or who are involved in consortia negotiations, may know. How much do Indian institutions collectively pay each one of the major journal publishers [such as Elsevier, Springer, and Wiley] annually, say in 2022, towards journal + database subscriptions? The NIRF data gives info on 'Library spending' as a whole. Here is an example entry: Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Library spending in 2019-20, Rs 181,528,391. Almost all of us in academia and other research-performing institutions know that many 'high-impact-factor' journals published by these publishers are priced high. Most subscriptions to these journals are paid for from public funding, but most of us (including scientists and librarians) do not know how much we pay.

Inspiration story for the library community.
by Duryodhan Nahak 20 Feb '23

20 Feb '23

*Class 6 student sets up library at city police station* *This is the second library that the HPS student has set up**; the first one was at the MNJ Cancer Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic; she hopes to open at least five walk-in libraries* The Hindu Bureau, HYDERABAD, 19.02.23 She never asked for toys; her books were her toys. She read about 1,500 books in five or six years, says a proud Sateesh Kumar Jagadeesan, a private healthcare employee, of his 11-year-old daughter Akarshana. On Saturday, Akarshana, a class 6 student of Hyderabad Public School here, just opened her second library as part of her mission to set up at least five free walk-in libraries. The first one was at the MNJ Cancer Hospital, Lakdi-ka-pul, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second one, surprisingly, was decided at Sanathnagar police station. “It was her idea. On December 23, we were in that area to buy a Christmas star. The place is usually busy and she thought people passing by would be interested in picking up a book. We soon walked into the police station and talked to the inspector, and within a week she wrote to Cyberabad police commissioner Stephen Raveendra for approval,” Mr. Sateesh Kumar explained. The collection of 829 books in the reception area in Sanathnagar police station include fiction, non-fiction, general knowledge and some 149 books in Telugu language. For Akarshana, who says the next stop in her library mission is the juvenile home for girls, the love of reading and helping people gives her satisfaction. Of about 4,800 books collected from several donors in the past two years, she still has some 2,800 books for library purpose. The sixth-grade student, for her initiatives and social enthusiasm, has earlier received appreciation from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao, and several officers in the government. “I aspire to become an astrochemist,” she says. With Regards *Duryodhan Nahak* *Asst. Chief Librarian* *Ramoji Knowledge Centre* *Ramoji Film City* *Hyderabad - 501512* *(: 8662 È**: 9100407775* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

RFID Workshop : Knowledge Series II : Patna, Bihar

19 Feb '23

Tushar Popat tushar.popat at rapidradio.co.in Wed Feb 15 18:02:21 IST 2023 Dear Librarians, Namaste from RapidRadio Solutions. We are pleased to announce *"RFID Workshop - Knowledge Series II"* - an initiative/effort from RapidRadio to share the knowledge of *RFID Technology & its Integration with LMS* with the community. The workshop sessions shall be conducted at different institutes across India between 30th Sept 2021 to 31st March 2023. Detailed list of institutes and respective workshop dates will be available on https://rapidradio.co.in/library/workshop/. Keep checking the same for updated workshops. *The upcoming RFID Workshop is at Patna Women's College, Patna, Bihar on 25 February 2023.* RapidRadio along this journey of 15 long years have acquired more than 250 library clients across India & surrounding countries. We are thankful to the library fraternity for trusting this Indian RFID manufacturer and helping us to become one of the leading players in the RFID Automation market for libraries. Over these years we have seen that the decision to purchase RFID systems & executing the project, after the decision is made, has been one of the toughest jobs for the librarian & the institute as a whole. We strongly feel that librarians who have already implemented RFID in their libraries should come forward and share their experiences with fellow librarians on how they go about this difficult decision making process. We wish to facilitate and encourage such experience sharing during workshop sessions. The complete list of speakers will be available on the web page who would be speaking at different sessions. We welcome one and all from the Library fraternity to participate in this event through filling up the registration form. CLICK HERE https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhZ7SFE3ZIgAVzFrE5sIE-vNUbMAgor-8… to open the registration form.

by Duryodhan Nahak 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

*From the Budget Speech* *National Digital Library for Children and Adolescents * *33. *A National Digital Library for children and adolescentswill be set-up for facilitating availability of quality books across geographies, languages, genres and levels, and device agnostic accessibility. States will be encouraged to set up physical libraries for them at panchayat and ward levels and provide infrastructure for accessing the National Digital Library resources. * 34. *Additionally, to build a culture of reading, and to make up for pandemic-time learning loss, the National Book Trust, Children’s Book Trust and other sources will be encouraged to provide and replenish non-curricular titles in regional languages and English to these physical libraries. Collaboration with NGOs that work in literacy will also be a part of this initiative. To inculcate financial literacy, financial sector regulators and organizations will be encouraged to provide age-appropriate reading material to these libraries. *Fiscal Management* *Fifty-year interest free loan to States* *1. *The entire fifty-year loan to states has to be spent on capital expenditure within 2023-24. Most of this will be at the discretion of states, but a part will be conditional on states increasing their actual capital expenditure. Parts of the outlay will also be linked to, or allocated for, the following purposes: · Scrapping old government vehicles, · Urban planning reforms and actions, · Financing reforms in urban local bodies to make them creditworthy for municipal bonds, · Housing for police personnel above or as part of police stations, · Constructing Unity Malls, · *Children and adolescents’ libraries and digital infrastructure, and* · State share of capital expenditure of central schemes. *Duryodhan Nahak* *Asst.
