Free Lancers for NewGenLib
by Jai Haravu 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Verus Solutions, (www.verussolutions.biz) the developers of NewGenLib (NGL) have taken the initiative to develop Free Lancers in different parts of the country. The Free Lancers will get free training in installing the latest version of NGL (version 3.0.3), training and presumably trouble shooting. Free Lancers could be librarians or software professionals and need not have had any previous experience with NGL. Training of Free Lancers will be done online via a remote desktop application such as TeamViewer. There is no charge for becoming a Free Lancer and it is up to the free lancer to charge or not charge the library that he/she helps. In fact the remote desktop method is also being used for trouble shooting current installations as well. I think this is an innovative initiative and I hope professionals will take advantage of this and help smaller libraries to use a good library management system.

Journals publication and Impact Factor
by Ratnakar Aspari 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Dear Moderator: I request you to post this on lis-forum. Thanking you A. Ratnakar New Delhi ___________ There is an interesting editorial by Prof. Balaram in the latest issue of "Current Science" (25th Nov 2011) titled "Journals : Costs amd Impact Factor" in which he discusses about the publishing empire of Rupert Murdoch which is in news in recent times for wrong reasons, George Monbiot's article in Guardian dated 29 August 2011 and to one of his pet peeves (Balaram's words) - the costs of maintaining academic libraries where science journals ‘consume 65% of their budgets. He also touches upon Scientometrics and the Impact Factor issues. He concludes "As the number of scientific institutions grows rapidly in India, there is an urgent need to review journal pricing policies of commercial publishers and to adopt a more informed and tempered view of bibliometric indices in assessments of scientific research".

Library science 000? why not 300?
by P. S. MANJUNATHA 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Respected Professionals, library science as part of the social sciences in the context of traditional library services and the role of libraries in society and education. These are indeed important roles, and the DDC makes explicit provision for each. However, the field of library and information science, like computer science, is truly interdisciplinary in nature and is broader than traditional library services. Main class 000 Computer science, information & general works includes 001 Knowledge, 001.4 Research, 004-006 Computer science, and 069 Museology—all interdisciplinary fields closely allied with the interdisciplinary field of library and information science.

Koha Trademark Fund - A request for support and donations
by Indranil Das Gupta 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Dear all, Forwarding this request from Joann Ransom, Head of Libraries, Horowhenua Library Trust, New Zealand - the birthplace of Koha. If you are a Koha user or feel passionate about FOSS in the library, this is the time to support them, and in turn support *us*. thanks and regards -indranil das gupta ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joann Ransom <jransom(a)library.org.nz> Date: 2011/11/22 Subject: [Koha-devel] Plea for help from Horowhenua Library Trust re: Koha To: koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org, koha <koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz>, web4lib(a)webjunction.org As I am sure most of you are aware, Horowhenua Library Trust is the birth place of Koha and the longest serving member of the Koha community. Back in 1999 when we were working on Koha, the idea that 12 years later we would be having to write an email like this never crossed our minds. It is with tremendous sadness that we must write this plea for help to you, the other members of the Koha community. The situation we find ourselves in, is that after over a year of battling against it, PTFS/Liblime have managed to have their application for a Trademark on Koha in New Zealand accepted. We now have 3 months to object, but to do so involves lawyers and money. We are a small semi rural Library in New Zealand and have no cash spare in our operational budget to afford this, but we do feel it is something we must fight. For the library that invented Koha to now have to have a legal battle to prevent a US company trademarking the word in NZ seems bizarre, but it is at this point that we find ourselves. So, we ask you, the users and developers of Koha, from the birth place of Koha, please if you can help in anyway, let us know.

Koha - 2011 Annual Library Automation Perceptions survey
by Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Dear All Requesting to act as per the following mail to join a global survey on Koha Thanks and regards, ---------------------------------------------------- Dr. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay Assistant Professor (Sr. Scale) Department of Library and Information Science The University of Burdwan (WB) ------------------------------------------ To all libraries using Koha: As Joann mentioned, I am collecting data for the 2011 Annual Library Automation Perceptions survey. This survey aims to provide some general measurement of the levels of satisfaction that libraries have with their library automation systems and the organizations that support them. I am aware that many libraries using Koha do so independently without direct involvement of a support firm. Even in these cases, data regarding the perceived quality and functionality of the automation system would be very helpful. The survey also probes at the relative level of interest in open source automation systems. I do hope that all libraries using Koha will respond to the survey. The survey forms are linked to each library’s entry in the lib-web-cats directory, so you will need to submit an entry if your library is not already represented. A large number of libraries using Koha are already represented, but I’m sure that there are many still missing. See: [http://www.librarytechnology.org/libraries.pl?ILS=Koha] [http://www.librarytechnology.org/map.pl?ILS=Koha] A strong response will help document the worldwide impact of Koha. To participate in the survey, you can start with the instructions given on the current posting on the top page of Library Technology Guides: [http://www.librarytechnology.org/] Marshall Breeding -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Fwd: Verus starts NewGenLib adaptation program
by Upadhyay P K 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Dear friends, It is very good posting in this forum on adoption of OSS and other softwares. There have been varying opinion. Last year I had posted various mails on pros and cons of OSS and Commercial softwares. In relation to NewGenLib and KOHA, technically I would prefer NGL to KOHA. Few of the reasons are: Technology platform of NewGenLib has been PsotgreSQL backend, Apache server and JAVA at front end. These are the most preferred choices like .Net for development of softwares, although various technologies are being used for others including Open and proprietary. I do not understand why developers of KOHA application used/chose PERL langauage for front development and MySQL as back end. What will be long term implication, time will tell. Although KOHA has been customized for PostgreSQL and Windows lateron. Another fascinating technology of NewGenlib is their search engine Solr and ZOTERO. For Bibliographic and Authority data searches NGL now uses Solr. Solr is the popular, blazing fast open source enterprise search platform from the Apache Lucene project. Even DSpace also uses Lucene and now it has customized for use of Solr. Again here, KOHA is using ZEBRA search engine not so popular like Lucene and Solr. I find it easy to integrate DSpace and NewGenLib with portal using JSP and common connectors more of JAVA technology. Both of softwares are licensed as GPL not BSD. Although I prefer BSD, DSpace is BSD licensed. Both the software are now being supported in India by private firms, it is good. Again I would repeat that either Open Source, Free or commercial, total implementation of the information system/software that matters and it hardly makes any difference in cost. Some of the research articles will help you to understand the efforts of library automation and digital library implementation. I liked one such paper by S R Birje on Library Automation case study in SRLELS Journal of Information Management, V48 (2), April 2011, p131-145. Although some of the cost and effort estimation could also have been incorporated in this paper like OPAC Hosting on Internet server, Database Hosting, Customization, Post implementation support, etc. for others to understand implementation. Even Dr Goudar also comprehensively on his experience in migration from one application to other. If any one like to discuss more on the issue, I would be happy to extend my inputs. with kind regards P K Upadhyay NIC, Delhi On 10/04/11, Shamprasad Pujar <pujar(a)igidr.ac.in> wrote: > > Dear Members, > > I think it is a very good opportunity for libraries which have not yet > undertaken complete automation.
