Importance of preprints
by Subbiah Arunachalam 26 Oct '22

26 Oct '22

Friends, The world of science and scholarship is moving towards accepting the advantages of adopting preprints as the primary means of scholarly exchange, albeit slowly. Luke Drury of the International Science Council is a formidable advocate of preprints. See the ISC Occasional paper https://council.science/publications/normalization-preprints/. Prachee Avasthi of Dartmouth College is another to champion the transition to preprints. Please see: https://twitter.com/PracheeAC/status/1584617942985375744?s=20&t=ngRdjLQdbQ1… . You may also listen to the keynote talk given by Prof. Bjoern Brembs earlier this year at the 2002 Annual meeting of COAR, where he pleaded for defunding journals. His paper "Replacing academic journals" [ https://zenodo.org/record/5526635] is a useful introduction too. Best wishes.

Village Library Project
by prafulla tv 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Dear All, I am happy to inform you that Shri Tulja Bhavani Granthalayam (STBG) is planned to be started in Bakkalingayapally Village, Achampet Mandal of Nagar Kurnoool district in Telangana State around Deepavali this year. This project is led by a young man Sri M. Babulal, a native of this village, who manages to eke out his living as an auto driver in Hyderabad. Recently, I happened to travel in Babulalji's auto carrying auto-full load of my books from home in Padmarao Nagar to Sundarayya Vignana Kendra (SVK), Gachibowli, Hyderabad for donation to this research & reference library. He was curious as to why I was taking so many books. When I told him that I am giving them away for public use, he said that he too wanted to do something for his village. Sri Babulal expressed keen desire to start a library in his village and he was very confident that his team of youth friends and well-wishers will lend their hands in day to day running of the library. He said that the present generation of young children should not suffer because of lack of educational facilities and he does not want them to undergo hardships he had passed through due to lack of higher education. He went back to his village and convinced the village sarpanch to offer free of cost a room in the Panchayat building. The village sarpanch promised all support for this project. I discussed this project with Sri Anumula Srinivas, a library activist based in Telangana who was the force behind the establishment of 11 village libraries in the Telugu speaking states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in recent times, who readily agreed to provide all the support. It may not be out of place to place on record the inspiration and support offered by Prof. N.

Fwd: Rights retention by researchers
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

*Sub: Universities and research institutions in India should adopt a Rights retension policy* Friends, Here is what the University of Edinburgh has done. https://libraryblogs.is.ed.ac.uk/openscholarship/2022/10/14/rights-retentio… It will be great if all academic and research institutions in India could consider adopting such a policy. Commenting on the development, *Peter Murray-Rust*, Cambridge University chemist, crystallographer and open science champion, says, "Yes, I've been following this as well and I think it will be an important theme in global OA Week (in a weeks' time). The key development here is that the UoE is setting out to formally challenge the publishers *in the courts*. Up until now the Universities have made declarations and protocols, and researchers who followed them have been overridden or ignored by publishers and everyone has said "oh dear, but we tried". This is the first time where OA has really set to defend itself. Ultimately the only things that publishers care about are income and the courts. As far as I know , no publisher has ever been fined for any irregularity in scholarly publishing. So their attitude has been "let's push the boundaries as far as we can (enclosure, copyfraud, etc.) and if we get pushback we'll say 'sorry'". Over 25 years I have seen Universities wimp out, both at first hand and Edinburgh is the first to show teeth. If Universities act collectively, it will spread and establish not only author rights, but Open Access rights in general. It must be widely supported." Regards.

Village Library
by prafulla tv 16 Oct '22

16 Oct '22

Dear All, I am happy to inform you that Shri Tulja Bhavani Granthalayam (STBG) is planned to be started in Bakkalingayapally Village, Achampet Mandal of Nagar Kurnoool district in Telangana State around Deepavali this year. This project is led by a young man Sri M. Babulal, a native of this village, who manages to eke out his living as an auto driver in Hyderabad. Recently, I happened to travel in Babulalji's auto carrying auto-full load of my books from home in Padmarao Nagar to Sundarayya Vignana Kendra (SVK), Gachibowli, Hyderabad for donation to this research & reference library. He was curious as to why I was taking so many books. When I told him that I am giving them away for public use, he said that he too wanted to do something for his village. Sri Babulal expressed keen desire to start a library in his village and he was very confident that his team of youth friends and well-wishers will lend their hands in day to day running of the library. He said that the present generation of young children should not suffer because of lack of educational facilities and he does not want them to undergo hardships he had passed through due to lack of higher education. He went back to his village and convinced the village sarpanch to offer free of cost a room in the Panchayat building. The village sarpanch promised all support for this project. I discussed this project with Sri Anumula Srinivas, a library activist based in Telangana who was the force behind the establishment of 11 village libraries in the Telugu speaking states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in recent times, who readily agreed to provide all the support. It may not be out of place to place on record the inspiration and support offered by Prof. N. Laxman Rao garu in starting of several villaglibraries in the form of books, furniture, almirahs, etc. I am pleased to inform you that so far we have received the following for STBG: 1. 2 glass paned book almirahs costing totally Rs.12000 from Smt. Tara Ashok Patny, presented in loving memory of her husband Late Sri Ashok Kumar Patny.2. Donation of Rs.5000 from Dr. V.

Open source software meant for surgery
by vinod mishra 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

Dear all Now a day's several libraries are using one or more open source software. The feature which is available by default is only used most of the time. One of the major beauty of OSS is freedom of surgery to fit local requirements, but most of the time we are not capable/attempting for the same. OSS has lot of possibility to enhance the services for users and housekeeping operations, whatever new IT based services we want should be explored in OSS. A dedicated team of library staff should always be engaged in such R&D activities with support of experts in computer. Our associations and agencies like Inflibnet, RRRLF, NDL, etc. should take initiatives for new development in existing OSS for support of libraries as our government also encourage and promotes for use of OSS. Please note freedom of surgery/customisation of OSS is main moto and we should avail such benefits under the supervision of experts. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Lecture Hall – 1 (Haapus) Auditorium, NCBS *Details: https://bit.ly/apls-mss Free and open to the public *Overview:* The Archives at NCBS is delighted to welcome you to the opening of the MS Swaminathan Papers at the Archives at NCBS on Tue, October 11, 2022, at 4:00 PM. This new collection captures the life and work of MS Swaminathan, the plant geneticist, agricultural scientist, humanitarian, and institution builder. It contains over 48,000 archival objects spanning 80 years, in the form of research notes, correspondence, unpublished writings, media clippings, photographs, published works, and administrative notes from dozens of institutions and committees. *Programme:* 4:00 PM: Introductions 4:15 PM: Collection overview 4:45 PM: Reflective talk on the Swaminathan Papers and their relevance to agricultural histories. 5:15 PM: Q&A 5:45 PM: Tours of the Archives at NCBS + Refreshments *About the Archives at NCBS and the new collection:* The Archives at NCBS is a public collecting centre for the history of science in contemporary India. It operates on four broad verticals. One is to strengthen research collections and access in its domain. The second is to push the frontiers of research in archival sciences in India, forging intersections with scholarship in law, ethics, information theory and the semantic web. The third is to build capacity and public awareness through education, training and programming, from school to professional practice. And the fourth is to reimagine the archives as a way to strengthen public spaces and be part of the commons through vibrant public engagement and helping with the development of a broader collective of archives across the country (https://milli.link/) In 2020, NCBS formalized the creation of a Chair in the History and Culture of Science which also supports the activities of the Archives via a generous grant from TNQ Technologies. The 2000-square-feet physical centre includes space for research, processing, exhibitions, recording, and a leading-edge storage facility with monitors for temperature, light, humidity, air quality, water, fire, pests, and noise. Over 50,000 processed objects across 18 collections are in various forms, ranging from paper-based manuscripts to negatives to photographs, books, fine art, audio recordings, scientific equipment, letters, and field and lab notes. By the end of this year, this will increase three-fold to a publicly accessible catalogue for 150,000 objects. This is significantly due to this generous donation from the Trustees of the MS Swaminathan Research Foundation of the archival papers of Professor MS Swaminathan. We are grateful to the Trustees for their trust and we look forward to making this national resource publicly accessible. *Best Regards* *Siddu M. Huded*

07 Oct '22

Fourth International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2022) December 14-16, 2022 Organized by Jain University, Bangalore Abu Dhabi School of Management, UAE (December 19, 2022) www.socio.org.uk/stm CALL FOR PAPERS Building metrics is the key to science and technology measurement and translating the measures to work better. Metric is not confined to drawing numbers and analyze. Selecting a metric depends on synthesizing multiple directions and evidence-based data. Producing benchmarks and standards in science and technology evaluation and implementing them with real data mark the full-fledged system. We are witnessing new metrics-based models emerging to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2022) conference concerns how many metrics may involve the assessment of different aspects of science and technology, which are best expressed using different approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, STMetrics will host several workshops and tutorials related to the theme of the conference. The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology systems. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarize themselves with theoretical and practical aspects and the application of metrics. The proposed conference consists of invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet address the below themes not limited. Citation-based metrics Open data Open access and open science Ranking of Journals, Institutions, and Countries Scientific Collaboration and cooperation analysis Discipline and Domain Analysis National Evaluation Systems Economic factors New indices for evaluation Databases and datasets for evaluation Altmetrics Evaluation Tools and Indicators Web-based metrics Data Science and Digital Repositories Visibility and impact Scientific Visualization Internationalization e-Science in the Cloud Text-based Metrics Scientific Journalism Innovation indicators Wearable Devices All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), and participative peer review. The review process will enable the selection process of those accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can access the evaluations and feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors of developing countries. Selected post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in a few journals.

Some say they represent an exciting new future (enabling the rapid sharing of research and democratising it), while others are concerned that they may cause misunderstandings and people drawing conclusions too hastily. It is clear preprints are now firmly part of the scholarly communication process, but some challenges remain. Join us as we open up this engaging discussion and answer your questions live. *Key takeaways* - The future of preprints in the academic publishing industry - Insights into the value of preprints for all stakeholders in scholarly communications - Challenges in enabling the rapid dissemination of research and how preprints can be utilised effectively ------------------------------ *Speakers* [image: Phineas Wenlock University of Essex] *Rossana Morriello* Research Support Librarian, Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy *Bio:* Rossana currently works as a research support librarian at Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy.

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 December 2022. 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 first two workshops are at Ernakulam Public Library, Ernakulam - 30th September 2022 and PSGR Krishnammal College for Women, Coimbatore - 28 October 2022.* 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.

Difference between DOI and Handle system
by Atanu Garai 22 Sep '22

22 Sep '22

Hi Community, DOI and Handle are two widely used persistent URI methods. I am wondering if there are any difference between those two and which system we shall select. I have come across a few preprint records where the record is a copy of record hosted in an original preprint server and the DOI in the copied server is referencing to the original server's URL. Should digital libraries need to refer to only original URI? Thank you for your inputs.
