Steve Jobs is no more
by Ashok Asundi 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Dear All Professionals, Steve Jobs the PC wizard, who assembled and started the APPLE in the car garage of his father died at 56 the age does not demand for such an end. The visionary who is responsible for demystifying computer has created many land marks. Here is a quote that summarises his contribution to the World of PC and the WWW has many sites and agonising news of his end. I wish all of us should browse them and derive inspiration. Here are some quotes of Steve."Three apples have changed the world. One seduced Eve, second awakened Newton, the third one was in the hands of Jobs." “Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.” Quoted in The Wall Street Journal, May 25, 1993. Go to Yahoo News and other sites to get more on Steve Jobs. A.Y.AsundiRetd.

Fwd: [EIFLoa] Sign the Washington Declaration on IP and the Public Interest
by Sridhar Gutam 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Iryna Kuchma <iryna.kuchma(a)eifl.net> Date: 4 October 2011 21:02 Subject: [EIFLoa] Sign the Washington Declaration on IP and the Public Interest To: eifloa <eifloa(a)lists.eifl.net> [Forwarded message from Teresa Hackett, EIFL-IP Program Manager] On August 25-27, 2011, the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property at the American University in Washington held a global congress attended by over 180 experts from 32 countries and six continents, who helped to re-articulate the public interest dimension in intellectual property law and policy. The conclusions from the Congress are the "Washington Declaration on Intellectual Property and the Public Interest", which is open for signature. To date over 780 academics, government representatives, NGOs and other civil society representatives from all over the world have signed up. Iryna Kuchma, EIFL-OA Program Manger and myself have signed for EIFL. We encourage you join like-minded colleagues from around the globe and to add your signature. If you are signing on behalf of your consortium or institution (recommended), please remember to get their approval first! http://infojustice.org/washington-declaration (scroll to page end for signatures) Extract from the full text, http://infojustice.org/washington-declaration-html <SNIP> We begin our statement of the Congress’s conclusions with two overarching points: • International intellectual property policy affects a broad range of interests within society, not just those of rights holders. Thus, intellectual property policy making should be conducted through mechanisms of transparency and openness that encourage broad public participation. New rules should be made within the existing forums responsible for intellectual property policy, where both developed and developing countries have full representation, and where the texts of and forums for considering proposals are open. All new international intellectual property standards must be subject to democratic checks and balances, including domestic legislative approval and opportunities for judicial review. • Markets alone cannot be relied upon to achieve a just allocation of information goods — that is, one that promotes the full range of human values at stake in intellectual property systems. This is clear, for example, from recent experiences in the areas of public health and education, where intellectual property has complicated progress toward meeting these basic public needs. Informed by these two broad points, the Congress adopted a series of specific recommendations for action, which are expressed below. [The headings] -Putting Intellectual Property in Its Place -Valuing Openness and the Public Domain -Strengthening Limitations and Exceptions "...Promote limitations and exceptions that enable libraries, museums, archives and other “institutions of memory” to fulfill their public interest missions, while assuring that cultural and educational institutions take advantage of existing flexibilities...." -Setting Public Interest Priorities for Patent Reform -Supporting Cultural Creativity -Checking Enforcement Excesses -Implementing Development Agendas -Requiring Evidence-based Policy Making Read the Declaration and sign up (scroll to page end), http://infojustice.org/washington-declaration-html It would be great if lots of EIFL partner countries can sign up!

Ranganathan Remembered - September 27
by eswara reddy deva 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hello Collegues, As some of us remember, Dr S.R.Rnaganathan, the greatest library leader in India, passed away on this day, September 27, 1972 at Bangalore. To pay my homage and respects to this great teacher of our times, I mention an event that took place in 1999 on the eve of New Millennium. The editorial board of ALA(American Library Association) publication "American Libraries" decided to bring out a special issue of 100 of the most important Library LEADERS we had in the 20th Century, all Americans. However, the Board could not ignore S.R.Ranganthan and placed him as the 101 under the caption " Ranganthan makes 101".This was an unique honor to the Father of Library Science in India. No other foreign librarian found a place there. 'American Libraries' December 1999 issue contains short biographies of all these 101 Library Leaders along with selected pictures, Melvil Dewey's image on the cover page. If you have access to online databases, you may search via LISA or Library Literature. If not, feel free to ask me for a scanned copy of the coverage. Let us again pay our homage to Ranganthan and rededicate ourselves to LIS. Best regards, Deva B.Eswara Reddy Chair,IFLA Science and Technolgy Libraries -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Royal Swets & Zeitlinger Celebrates 110 Years of Excellence
by Chandrima Roy 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Dear Professionals, We are glad to announce that Royal Swets & Zeitlinger proudly celebrates its 110th anniversary. Adriaan Swets and Heinrich Zeitlinger opened the doors to their business, a small bookshop in Amsterdam specializing in new and antiquarian scientific books, on September 26 1901. This was the same year as the first Nobel Prize ceremony in Sweden, the birth of Walt Disney in America and the opening of the first Australian parliament. Although Heinrich Zeitlinger left the business only a year later, his name continues to grace the company and over the subsequent decades Swets, as the company is more widely known, has grown to establish itself as a truly global organization, with offices in over 25 countries. As the world's leading information services company, Swets has played a leading role in transforming the acquisition, access, and management of print and electronic resources. The company remains fully committed to the development of innovative solutions that simplify the work of information professionals worldwide. "Our longtime success has been dependent on listening to loyal customers and delivering services and solutions that address their evolving needs," said Swets CEO, David Main. "While being immensely proud of our heritage, we look forward to unveiling several exciting projects at Swets both in the near future and in the years to come that are sure to keep us at the forefront of our dynamic industry. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the library and publishing communities at large for their continued support and trust in Swets." Swets takes pride in its ability to provide innovative and valuable solutions for the many challenges the industry has faced through the years.

Internet Ruffles Pricey Scholarly Journals

23 Sep '11

News item in The New York Times, 18 September 2011: LONDON After decades of healthy profits, the scholarly publishing industry now finds itself in the throes of a revolt led by the most unlikely campus revolutionaries: the librarians. Universities from Britain to California are refusing to renew their expensive subscriptions, turning instead to open access publishing, an arrangement whereby material is made available free on the Internet with few or no restrictions except for the obligation to cite it....

Standard Operating Procedure
by Nadeem Sohail 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

Dear Deepak Sir Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are documents or methods that describe how particular functions of the library are carried out. The uses of SOPs are to make convenient to get the information from the library. In India many academic library follow the ISO process for that. I don’t know how many library follow the SOPs in India but Foreign Countries are using SOPs to provide a better service to the user. As I done the Internal Auditor Training I have idea about the SOPs. You not need to ask any one. You can design your own SOPs in different sections in library. Make the certain rules, functions and follow accordingly. For that you have to manage the certain documentation process file, etc. You can set the SOPs in different areas of a Library: · Administrating the Library Budget · Collection Development · Institutional Repository · Different Sections · Different Services We can discuss further on this topic. Thanks with Regards Nadeem Sohail O.P.Jindal Global University Sonepat, Haryana Message: 6 Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2011 11:36:59 +0530 From: Deepak Sharma <deepak81063(a)gmail.com> To: LIS-Forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Cc: mlosc(a)googlegroups.com Subject: [LIS-Forum] Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Libraries Message-ID: <CAOEN_+GM19nB=F+fKCSrXuLuO2QMda8eEEUzoatTRxP7gqk1Wg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Dear All, We urgently require the Standard Operating Procedure used by the Indian universities to operate the libraries smoothly. If anyone of you having the copy of the SOP maintained by any university for libraries are requested to kindly share the information on the forum.We are in the process of making an effective SOP for our university library.So, want to know more about the different SOP's used for libraries within India.
