---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Arjuna Rao Chavala <arjunaraoc(a)googlemail.com> Date: Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 5:14 PM Subject: Report on Liam Wyatt's talk "Wikipedia and GLAM's" - Organized by KALA/ NCSI-NET To: "Discussion list on Indian language projects of Wikimedia." <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi, Here is a brief report on talk on Wikipedia and GLAM's talk by Liam Wyatt - organized by Karntaka Stae Library Association (KALA[1])/ NCSI-NET [2] on 19 Feb 2011 at 10:30AM at NCSI Conference hall, IISc, Bangalore The session attracted 26 LIS professionals from academic/industry/students. I, Gautam John and Arun Ram were some of Bangalore Wikipedians who attended the event. Liam explained Wikipedia and how it be can used easily with presentations and live demonstrations, which thrilled the audience. There were several questions around Wikipedia policies and how it deals with controversial topics around politics, culture. Audience also showed lot of interest in the copyright policies of Wikipedia. Liam explained it nicely by illustrating the different licensing options from all rights reserved to public domain and highlighting the licenses applicable to Wikipedia. Liam shared how Oxford English Dictionary led the crowd sourcing towards creating knowledge, when it decided to publish the complete dictionary and sought inputs from public to share all the known words. He shared his popular quote If people were passing out Knowledge on the street for free everyday, I am sure that there would be a lot more learning, based on Gregg Gillis's quote about free paints and painting. There were questions on software for building an archive of publications and Liam suggested e-hive as a potential option. There was an interesting questions on the number of contributors for Sanskrit Wikipedia and Arun answered the same, based on his knowledge of working with Sanskrit Community. We also met with senior public library professionals and a member of Karnataka knowledge commission, who offered their help towards initiatives to provide free access to Wikipedia in public libraries. Most of the audience were excited to know that Wikipedia is available in several Indian languages. I extended an invitation to the audience to take the community/chapter's help in spreading Wikipedia in their respective professional communities/users. Here is a link to some of the photos of the event. https://picasaweb.google.com/arjunaraoc/LiamSTalkToKALANCSINET?feat=directl… [1]http://kalaonline.com/ [2]http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/mailman/listinfo/ncsi-net Cheers Arjun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

National Diversity of International Journals
by srinivas rao 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

National Diversity of International Journals The journals ranking and Impact factor of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) is increasingly turning into an international currency for the quality of research output. More than 14000 journals are ISI-ranked as journal quality and impact. In that most of them are labeled “major international” journals this analysis of ISI data reveals that the attribute “international” is not always appropriate. National diversity of journals is very low due to a dominance of authors from English-speaking countries and U.S. authors in particular. Younger journals and journals with an explicitly stated international mission tend to be international, whereas the internationality of the affiliated organization or impact of a journal had no influence on national diversity. The results suggest that it may be desirable to clearly distinguish between national and international journals, to increase the number of international journals, and to support authors whose mother tongue is not English.

by Dr.Tariq Ashraf 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

*International Conference “ Convergence of Libraries , Archives and Museams on User Empowerment through Digital Technologies* * * The three day International Conference “ Convergence of Libraries , Archives and Museums on User Empowerment through Digital Technologies organized by National institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi in collaboration with IFLA Art Libraries section held on February 14-17, 2011 concluded successfully. The truly world class and prestigious venue of IIC provided a stimulating environment and fostered an unleashing of intellectual discourse, debate and discussion in this unique international conference of Librarians, Archivists & Conservators to promote digital convergence of the memory institutions. The well attended event sourced together nearly 300 delegates and scores of experts ranging from academicians , Librarians, , Computer Scientists, Conservationist , Software Engineers to Technocrats both from academia and industry representing several countries . Conference was marked by lively talks, passionate presentations and subtle arguments and counter arguments. Stalwarts from across the country grappled with issues and offered wide ranging opinions and views. Conference opened with the remarks of Dean, Academics, NIFT who welcomed the participants and speakers and wished conference a great success and emphasized the need for preserving cultural heritage of the country through digital depositions . She further laid stress upon the need for sectoral collaboration and networking for the exchange and sharing of knowledge. The conference was inaugurated by Ms.Monika. Garg, (IAS) Director General , NIFT who in her inaugural talk deliberated upon preservation of knowledge for posterity.. She dwelt upon the need for organizing and delivering information in more efficient ways as it is driving force behind knowledge economy. In ‘knowledge-driven’ environment, scholarship can flourish if the existing stock of knowledge is made adequate use of, and concerted efforts are made to build further on it. Accessing and retrieval of desired information, to facilitate this process is, undoubtedly, a most challenging task. She stated that Information Technology (IT) has facilitated this challenging task a great deal for both, users as well as providers of information, Spread over four days , 2 plenary sessions, 18 technical sessions, 12 invited talks, product presentations , tutorials by leading Academicians & Industry experts, special session by Wikimedia , a special day of parallel sessions on Preservation of Heritage Resources and two penal discussions, conference witnessed presentation of nearly 60 research papers and involved a galaxy of eminent experts, leading professionals, academicians and entrepreneurs like Prof. Shalni Urs, ,Prof.PB Mangla Prof.T Visvanathan, Dr. Jan Simane, Ms Lucy Tedd, Mr. Guss Ven Den Brakel, Mr. Rolf Kallman, Mr.Matin Flaynn, Dr. S Majumdar, Dr. Roshan Raina Dr. Jagtar Singh , Dr. RK Chadha , Dr. PR Goswami, Dr. Rakesh Bhatt Prof. IV Malhan, Mr. Dinsh Katre ,Prof, JK Mitra and Dr. Mrs SP Singh and many others exchanged views on issues related to technological, infrastructural and organizational developments including partnerships in the knowledge sector. One of the recurring thread which held the discussion together for three days was bringing together of set of individual cognitions and experiences of authors forming a common collective of memories sharing, interacting and integrating with the memories of a wide array of participants. The themes and topics of papers straddle the whole spectrum from collaboration to convergence to divergence, from social media for empowerment to digital divide, from digital preservation to institutional repositories, from enhancing user access to heritage material to library service through social networking, from information literacy as a tool for user empowerment to visualization for digital libraries, from information seeking behavior to open content; from hanging together to crossing continents. The issue of empowerment of users in Libraries, Archives and Museums was analyzed from multiple perspectives during the conference. All issues related to user empowerment ranging from changing roles of users and their rights, special needs of the disadvantaged user communities to digital preservation technologies, social media and sustainability concerns were dealt with. Library & Information professionals, Archivists and Conservators, as end users of open source and commercial software discussed trends and problems specific to their own sectors. It was opined that digital revolution has initiated an irrevocable process of convergence in the knowledge sector in the 21st century. The traditional barriers of academic disciplines, professions and institutions are disappearing fast as a unified world of knowledge is emerging. The traditional physical infrastructure and organizational setups have become irrelevant and various forms - textual, audio and visual – have fused together to create a mutable global knowledge repository. It was further observed that advancements in the fields of Information and Communication Technologies have also unleashed democratizing forces enabling access to all to the inner recesses of the knowledge world. The role of the user in knowledge repositories such as libraries, archives and museums has transformed from a passive receiver to a participant in the creation and dissemination of information. Some of the specific themes and areas covered during the conference are as under: 1. Development of information systems and services with the goal of optimum user empowerment 2. Sensitization of information professionals and conservators to deliver user-oriented service 3. Creation of awareness among users about their rights 4. Promotion of partnerships of institutions and professionals of the knowledge sector for resource sharing 5. Attaining of convergence of the memory institutions viz., Libraries, Archives and Museums. Participating delegates complimented the organizers for organizing such a successful convention and bringing together so many diverse stream at a single platform and discussing issues both in context and threadbare and felt they will go back to their work places much enlightened and keep the memories of this four day convention alive in their minds and hearts for long time to come . They emphasized the need for continuing with such kind of endeavor in future too so as to institutionalise and strengthen the concept of convergence for the larger benefits of information based professionals. The beautifully produced 600+ conference volume and an attractive conference kit was a special draw with the delegates.

He believes that now the cultural sector has seen that working with Wikimedia can be A Good Thing(tm), that we must have reasonably professional processes in place for managing those relationships.

by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

SURAT: With a view to provide doorstep access to various books and magazines to senior citizens, kids and youngsters, Surat Municipal Corporation ( SMC<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=SMC>) has earmarked a fund worth Rs 10 lakh for the 'mobile library' project. * The standing committee has approved the mobile library project under state government's 'Vanche Gujarat' initiative for year 2011-12. Official sources said the mobile library will be equipped with books on various topics, newspapers, magazines etc and it will be stationed outside public gardens and parks. The mobile library project would be a huge success among senior citizens visiting public parks and gardens in the morning and evening hours. They (senior citizens) would have a great opportunity to read books as they cannot visit SMC-run Narmad Library<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/search?q=Narmad%20Library> located on Ghod Dod Road. "Specialised vehicles will be acquired for the mobile library project. The mobile library would be stationed at public gardens and parks for a couple of days at a stretch so that citizens can get its benefits," a senior civic officer said. Sources added the registration of people intending to read the books will be done at the mobile counter itself by taking their identification proofs and contact numbers. If the members don't find the books of their interest in the mobile library, then they will get it the next day from the central library. * -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Raise your voice against corruption- my feelings.
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Dear Sir/Madam, Thanks for your personal view, but my view is you are giving relaxation to various corrupt peoples. Please go through the types of corruption, you will find that whatever you are talking about is also comes under the corruption. Kindly go through the IFLA manifesto on corruption.(http://www.ifla.org/en/node/5324) Any association exist if the country exist so corruption is not related to any specific profession or people it exist every where, presently our country is suffering from this disease very badly we should join our hands against corruption and try to clean it from every where so if Librarians can do something good in this area it will be good for our profession and country. On Mon, 14 Feb 2011 12:53:09 +0530 wrote >Dear forum members, Primary objective of any association is to serve for developing and promoting the profession. Before making any objective for removing corruption, do we have any incidences of our associaitons being abused/charged for corruption? Second, some bias or personal liking is common phenomemnon in any association and it is not related to any corruption. The office bearers os association may like members of similar thinking as successors or some members may like the position for their visibility and contribution. This cannot be considered as corruption. Third, the associations need to have some linkages with politicians/Govt. authortities for fighting for justice to profession. In this process, some expenditure might occur to speed up the process and the members might have to contribute for the cause. This we cannot consider as corruption. Finally, corruption is purely personal, unless the person removes it from his/her heart, the association cannot do anything.

[MLOSC.12392] if non received the journal aftersent subscription
by MN Seetharaman 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Dear professional colleagues, In response to the messages posted in the forum re. non-receipt of journals issues, I wish to share my experience as the former Head of Library in the National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore, and later in IIT Madras. 1. First of all the systems and procedures for journal subscriptions should be so designed as to ensure that the institution does not suffer any loss financially on account of non-receipt of issues and that the bound volumes of journals are complete in all respects with all the issues in tact, obviating complaints from the users about the missing issues in the bound volumes. If bound volumes are found to be incomplete at a later point of time, the libraries would be helpless and can no nothing in the matter. 2. For subscribing journals published by scholarly societies and professional associations which have students/institutional membership scheme, it is better to enlist the library or the institution as the institutional member by paying the prescribed annual membership fee. Such a membership will ensure that the library not only gets the journal issues in time but also at concessional subscription rates, if any, offered to members. Even if one or two issues are missing during transit, the society/association will make good the missing issues without grumbling. An additional benefit of the membership scheme will be that the library will get regularly all announcements about new books, monographs, conference proceedings etc. published by the society/association and can order selected titles at membership rates. 3. For subscribing journals published by commercial publishers, we at NAL used to deal with the publishers directly rather than through any subscription agents. Now a days, when foreign exchange is no longer a problem, it is easy to get a proforma invoice from the publishers and then obtain a bank draft in foreign currency in favour of the publishers from any scheduled bank. 4. While sending the bank draft to the society/association/publishers, two copies of the covering letter may be mailed with the request that the publishers should record their acknowledgement for receipt of payment in the second copy of the covering letter and return it to the library for record. 5. However, if a library has to use the services of a local subscription agent for whateve reasons, the following procedures could be followed: a. continue with the existing practice followed by many libraries in asking the subscription agent to make advance payment and then claim reimbursement after producing proof of remittance. b. obtain a bank gurantee from the agent as is being done by many libraries c. one additional measure of safeguard can be taken by the library. As and when the agent submits proof of remittance to the publishers, the library must send a documentary copy of the proof of remittance to the publishers and ask them to acknowledge receipt of payment and ensure that any request for the cancellation of the subscription subsequently by the agent should not be agreed to without the prior knowledge and consent of the library 4. All libraries may be maintaining either a computer-based or manual Journal Kardex System for entering the details of issues received and noting down the details of missing issues for follow-up action. The Kardex sheet should be well designed so as to include the following basic information: ===================================================================================================== ABSTRACT OF BASIC INFORMATION 1. Title of Journal. 2. Frequency: 3. Name& Address of Publisher 4. Mode of Delivery (Air/Airfreight/Sea)5. Subscription details: a. Year: ....... b. Vol. No. ------- c. No. of Issues ----- d. Payment details : Cheque/Draft No. --- Date ----- Amount ------ e. Sent to : Publisher/Agent under letter No. ------ date ------ f. Whether receipt of payment acknowledged : Letter No. Date ---- DETAILS OF ISSUES RECEIVED Vol.No. Issue No. Publication Due date Actual date Reminders Initials Remarks Date for receipt of receipt issued i/c of (Date of journals sec. issue) (Add more headings, as necessary) ======================================================================================================== 5. The Kardex must be checked at least once every week (say, every Monday) so that reminders indicating payment details can be issued directly to publishers (with copies to agents) in time to pre-empt the publishers in saying that spare issues are not available because of delays in claiming. 6. Based on actual experience, the systems and procedures may be changed periodically with suitable improvements, as required. 7. This has been my experience in NAL/IIT Madras. May be other libraries are following a better system. The point is whatever be the system that is followed, the end result should be that libraries actually receive all issues of journals subscribed to and paid for.

Dear Sir/Madam, We are happy to announce that Origiin IP Academy, a subsidiary of Origiin IP Solutions LLP, Bangalore after successful completion of Patent Agent Examination Training for the year 2010-2011, now launches "Certificate course on Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) analysis". FTO, also known as "Clearance search" or "Right to Use searches" is a kind of patent search that is used to determine whether a particular action, such as testing or launch or commercialising of a product in a specify territory, can be done without infringing valid intellectual property rights of third party (ies) or not. Patent infringement is the commission of a prohibited act with respect to a patented <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention> invention without permission from the <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent> patent holder. According to Anindya Sircar, Head of IP Cell at Infosys Technology, Bangalore, "IP risk assessment before product launch in a given territory is extremely critical for the business today and is an essential step to mitigate future infringement possibilities." Therefore risk assessment before launching a product or the process to make such product is extremely crucial for any business. The course has been specifically designed to the students, researchers who want to pursue career in the area of Intellectual Property Rights as well as the people already working in this area but want to further refine their skills. "Such a specialized IP Certificate Course will be highly beneficial to any student or a researcher who wants to pursue career in this area. In India specifically, such a course is really required says, Prof Rama Murthy, Professor & Head, Intellectual Property Cell at Centre for Emerging Technologies, Jain University, Bangalore and Scientific Advisor to Patent Office, Government of India Course: Certificate course on Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) analysis Mode of teaching: Online along with contact class and one project Contents: Basics of Prior Art Search and FTO, Case-studies, exercises, preparation of report Fee: 14,500 INR (Corporate discounts available on more than 5 registrations) Registration: Write to origiin.training(a)gmail.com, info(a)origiin.com Phone: 9845693459, 9880213204 Have a good day!
