Disparity and discrimination due to CRC Report in Govt Libraries
by rajesh kumar 27 May '11

27 May '11

Dear moderator plz post this matter on the forum for discussion. DISCRIMINATION DUE TO OM 19(1)/IC/86 DATED 24.07.90 OF DEPTT OF EXPENDITURE,M/o FINANCE,GOI It is a matter of great concern for all library professionals, except the head/incharge of the library, who are employed with central govt organisation/ministries and wherein Chattopadhyaya Review Committee Report(CRC Report) has been implemented.There is great disparity and discrimination in the OM 19(1)/IC/86 dated 24.07.1990 of Deptt of Expenditure,GoI.As per different provisions as laid down in this OM whenever library is considered to be reviewed as per 18 variables suggested in the said OM the person who enjoyed the benefit of upgradation is only the head/incharge of the library.Rest of library staff ,whatever their qualification and experience is, not eligible or we can say not entitled and therefore not being considered for upgradation,etc.Its very sorrow affairs and a large numbers of library professionals are being suffered.Similarly it is difficult to imagine that not a single library association/professionals with repute has done anything in this regard. It has become fashion to talk about different issues like digitization, OSS,IR,OA, and many more but I never seen anybody discussing or raising the issues of library professionals governed with CRC Report.At one end they are not getting any promotion,excet ACP/MACP/ on the other their scale is getting down with every Pay Commission.Admin asstt in govt is getting 4600 GP being simple graduate while Library Inf Asstt only 4200 though possessess additional qualification. I hope and do request that professionals who are in commanding position in this field must address this issues at relevant platform only then this severe problem can be sorted out.

Re. Discrepancies in the article on OSS
by rajendra singh 27 May '11

27 May '11

I have read the article as well as the comment. I have also been trained in NewGenLib at NISCAIR. Mr. Giri was the resource person. He always told that there were certain difficulties, he did not overcome by the time and need more experimentation and discussion at NewGenlib Forum. As he told that Mr Em Siddhartha of NewGenLib is very positively responsive to solve problems, one is advised to put the difficulties at NewGenlib Forum. Certain problems he told in the class, has been solved by himself later on. I have implemented NewGenlib in our library and he provided help with out taking a single penny from us. In OSS, findinig a problem in the software and searching for its solution is very lively and continuous process. Also, with the coming of latest version, some earlier problems has already been removed. Thus, I don't find any discrepancies in article at all. About the intention of the author in the article, It is nothing but the process of implementation of OSS in Library Regards Rajendra Singh Dy.

(2) Other users may be unable to understand or use data. (3) Access and use restrictions may make it difficult for others to re-use data etc There are many more issues concerned with the digital data especially the data which is the outcome of a scientific research. After the data is created, the management and preservation of data is an important task. In this colloquia the discussion shall be focused on the techniques adopted to preserve and maintain this data. Also the role is research support, data scientist, data manager, informatician, data librarian or research assistant will be discussed in building the research teams capacity and capability for digital curation and data preservation.

Apps for Library Idea Challenge to Librarians - May 13th - September 2nd, 2011
by Muralidharan, Padma (ELS-DEL) 25 May '11

25 May '11

Elsevier, a world-leading publisher of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, today announced the launch of the SciVerse Applications Apps for Library Idea Challenge <http://www.appsforlibrary.com/> . The international competition encourages librarians and information professionals to conceptualize solutions to the challenges that they and their constituents face in addressing the search and discovery of information. Entrants are invited to submit specific ideas for applications for the SciVerse suite that solve problems affecting the search and discovery of information within librarian and researcher workflows alike. Selected app concepts will be posted on the challenge website and open to commentary from peers and the public, enabling a dialogue within the librarian community to identify problems and discuss potential solutions. Two grand-prize winners will be selected – one by a panel of judges and one by community vote. The winners will each receive a cash prize of € 750 (approximately $1,000 USD). The winners’ names and concepts will also be featured in the relevant Elsevier library and information science journals. Other prizes will be available to eligible idea entrants and commenters. The call for entries opened May 13th and the deadline for submissions is September 2nd, 2011. An international panel of judges will select up to 10 finalist app idea entries. The community will then be invited to comment on the finalist ideas with suggestions to improve them and vote for app ideas they believe will deliver the most value to researchers. The winners will be announced in November 2011. Elsevier will explore development of the two winning app concepts for inclusion in SciVerse Applications. The Apps for Library Idea Challenge is part of a series of community competitions launched by Elsevier that engage the scientific research communities, librarians and application developers in the creation and conceptualization of search and discovery applications. Most recently, the Developer Network at Elsevier introduced the “Apps for Science Challenge <http://appsforscience.com/> ,” an international competition calling specifically upon developers to build applications within this vein. Through SciVerse Applications <http://www.applications.sciverse.com> , researchers and librarians can collaborate with developers to create new applications and customize their SciVerse search and discovery workflow. The Developer Network <http://developers.sciverse.com/> features a community for developers and opens up opportunities for developers to gain recognition, prestige and revenue through the contribution of new applications to SciVerse. To enter the Apps for Library Idea Challenge, and for complete official rules and additional information, please visit www.appsforlibrary.com.

Re.Discripancies in the article on OSS (Mariyam Shipha)
by Rabisankar Giri 25 May '11

25 May '11

In response to the comments posted by Mariyam Shiphaa regarding my recent article published in ALIS, I would like to enumerate the follwing points: In the world of scholarly communication, nationality, I believe, is less important than the purpose of disseminating research information. And when it comes to open source philosophy, nationality is altogether perhaps irrelevant. This is quite evident from the fact that KOHA (originated outside India) has gained much more popularity in India than it’s very own NewGenLib. In open source software, reporting of bugs and shortcomings is predominantly dependent on its user base. And when it comes to a OSS with a small user community and without any vendor support, I believe that it is a little difficult to distinguish between a real bug and our inability to find a solution quickly. Thus, the process of discovering flaws in OSS with a smaller community base (as in case of NewGenLib) is relatively slow in comparison to an open source with a larger community base, say like KOHA. You have pointed out that I highlighted some of the problems with the software in the training program. Actually, there has been a considerable passage of time between then and when the article was written. So some of the problems discussed have already been solved in NewGenlib community at Nabble. I, therefore, kindly request you to visit regularly the Newgenlib Community pages on Nabble. Binding problem: The logic applied in the software is that whenever the library send its documents for binding in a lot, all the bound volumes should be returned after that billing is usually done. Partial receiving of bound documents is already there in Newgenlib, but billing is possible only after receiving all the bound volumes. The analogy with acquisition process, where partial receiving of order document is not being applied in the binding process, because here library document are going outside of the library. The article was completed in May 2010 before the release of 2.5 versions and it is mainly based on our experience with NewGenLib 2.1 version. Thus up-gradation problem has not been discussed. When upgrading from 2.1 to 2.5, the problem arises due to overdue books. The easiest way to solve the problem is to return all the overdue books after taking a print of overdue books from desktop module. Then update the database. It will work fine. You may like to know that the journal had got the article peer reviewed by an anonymous referee who had suggested many important points which I had incorporated in the article before its final publication. Also please remember, that unless we are absolutely sure about a flaw in the software, we can’t report that in the article. Anyway, thank you for your interest and your views. With regards, Rabishankar Giri LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 98, Issue 24 Message: 2 Date: Mon, 23 May 2011 14:10:59 +0530 From: Mariyam Shipha <mariyam.maldives(a)gmail.com> To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Subject: [LIS-Forum] Discripancies in the article on OSS Message-ID: <BANLkTinaw5GMYv83MvEiH_fYBu2y_oYP6w(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Dear Sir, This communication is regarding the following recent article.

He was very friendly and helpful to us to make us in understanding the functions and workings of NewGenLIb. He mentioned some other drawbacks of NewGenlib in the class in addition to those mentioned in the article Some of them are: 1.Management of Binding: Suppose our library has given 1000 books in a lot to the binder. But the binder returned books after binding in two lots say 500 and 500, and submitted two bills. In NewGenlib, there is no provision to accommodate the two bills for one order. 2. No distinction between reported Loss and final weed out of books. i.e. Suppose in a stock verification, a book has been reported loss and latter it has been found. There has been no provision to get back the books for circulation catalogue once it is reported loss in the software. 3. Compatibility of data between the 2.1 version and the higher version. Especially in Patron circulation data. 4. Upgrading the PostgreSql from 8.0 to 8.3 onwards gives problems 5. Hardly any provision for Article indexing and so on He showed us at least 12 difficulties in dealing with NewGenLib. While we are experimenting with NewGenLib in our Library, we have found all those are true. My appeal is that professional must be sincere in presenting the information which will help in choosing the best OSS for our libraries. or Does being an Indian, professionals are promoting an OSS originated from India irrespective of its merit.?

Dear friends, You may perhaps be aware that NCSI has been, amongst other activities, imparting training in information management for several years. The training program has endeavoured to keep pace with the times. Accordingly, new approaches and courses have been regularly reflected in the curriculum. A very valuable feature of the program has been the accommodation of very different and even conflicting perspectives. It was believed that an exposure to different ways of approaching and solving problems would go a long way in developing the trainees' abilities. Though not necessarily mutually exclusive, it was left to the trainees' discretion as to which approach they eventually wanted to follow. The process of revising and updating the course contents continued till the year 2008 when the training program in 'Information and Knowledge Management'(IKM) was closed down. The last batch of the IKM program saw the introduction of a new course titled 'Knowledge Economics'. This was besides the other courses that were being offered then- Digital Libraries, Introduction to Knowledge Management, Content Analysis, Information Economics amongst others. The purpose of this mail is to share with you the outline of the course contents on Knowledge Economics and in the process tap on your collective knowledge and wisdom in course curriculum design. While universities and training institutes in the country stand to benefit immensely through such co-innovation, we are hopeful that other information and knowledge service organizations will also gain in the process. While we at NCSI continue to work at developing new services, we believe this can be accelerated through your joint participation. A number of new potential services are in different stages of conceptualization and design and we welcome you to take part in the discovery process. As with the NCSI hosted discussion fora Lis-Forum and KM-Forum, we hope to continue to play the role of a facilitator. The sharing of the Knowledge Economics course outline is a step in this direction. The Knowledge Economics course content outline is listed at www.ncsi-kms.blogspot.com. You are encouraged to discuss, criticize and offer suggestions in whatever manner you may deem fit and keep improving and adding to the content over time. Thank you. Regards Knowledge Management Services- Planning and Design Group National Centre for Science Information (NCSI) Indian Institute of Science Bangalore 560 012 India
