Role of Libraries in managing micro-data
by Atanu Garai 16 Sep '22

16 Sep '22

Hi All, Our partner conducts a lot of surveys to measure water quality using ODK (an open source survey framework) and they would like to publish those datasets (survey data, questionnaire) in the Digital Library. Our initial reading of literature on this topic suggests that Libraries can play a key role in managing the microdata (or big data), especially in the academic and research contexts. I would be happy to get your inputs on the requirements, for example: 1. How do you want to bring the microdata in digital library platform from the survey app 2. How do you want to let the user discover microdata? Will it have the same search and filter interface that uses to discover documents? 3. How do you want to present such data to the user - table, data visualization? This will help team SocialWell to evolve a design framework that caters to a wider requirement. Best regards, Atanu Atanu Garai SocialWell m: +91 97761.83915 a: Flat T-11/805, Tata Ariana, Mahalaxmi Vihar, Bhubaneswar, Odisha 751029 IN w: www.socialwell.net<http://www.socialwell.net/> e: atanu(a)socialwell.net<mailto:atanu@socialwell.net> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

White House bans paywalls on taxpayer funded research
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 05 Sep '22

05 Sep '22

https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/white-house-bans-paywalls-on-taxpayer-funde… The White House ruled this week that scientific research which is taxpayer-supported must be available to the American public at no cost—addressing the expensive paywalls that block online viewing of studies in many journals. The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) delivered guidance for agencies to update their public access policies as soon as possible to make publications and research funded by taxpayers publicly accessible immediately upon publishing, without an embargo or cost. All agencies will fully implement updated policies, including ending the optional 12-month embargo. The current optional embargo allows scientific publishers to put taxpayer-funded research behind a subscription-based paywall – which may block access for innovators for whom the paywall is a barrier, even barring scientists and their academic institutions from access to their own research findings, unless they pay. POPULAR: Virginia Joins 20 Other States Banning Ticket Quotas For Traffic Cops <https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/virginia-joins-20-other-states-banning-tick…> The new rule also expands the definition of a “scholarly publication” to include “not only peer-reviewed articles but also book chapters and conference proceedings.” “When research is widely available to other researchers and the public, it can save lives,” said OSTP head <https://www.whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-updates/2022/08/25/ostp-issues-guidanc…> Dr. Alondra Nelson. “The American people fund tens of billions of dollars of cutting-edge research annually. There should be no delay or barrier between the American public and the returns on their investments in research.” When Joe Biden was Vice President in 2016, he told the American Association for Cancer Research that U.S taxpayers fund $5 billion a year in cancer research. “Right now, you work for years to come up with a significant breakthrough, and if you do, you get to publish a paper in one of the top journals. For anyone to get access to that publication, they have to pay hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars to subscribe to a single journal. And here’s the kicker — the journal owns the data for a year.” RELATED: U.S. House Passes Bill to Cap Insulin Cost at $35 Per Month <https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/house-passes-bill-cap-insulin-35-month/> Advocates, researchers, academic libraries, Congressional leaders, and others have long called for greater public access to federally funded research results—and now they will have it. In the short-term, agencies will work with the OSTP to update their public access and data sharing plans by mid-2023.

Question: Data model in digital library system
by Atanu Garai 28 Aug '22

28 Aug '22

Hi Group, It has been a long time since we have been in touch with LIS-Forum network. In the last decade or so i have contributed in solution design, implementation, and development in health and agriculture spaces. In the startup SocialWell, we have started looking in digital library solution with a focus on providing a more wholesome user experience. As a starting point, we are looking at data model in the digital library system. Do you recommend maintaining separate model for each resource type, e.g., book, report, thesis, video, for example? Or have you seen a reuse of the single data model for one resource extended to other comparable resources? What are the good practices? Best regards, Atanu Atanu Garai SocialWell w: www.socialwell.net<http://www.socialwell.net/> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

LTC 2023 @ Ashoka University.... Jan 4-6, 2023 ...... Save the date !
by BP Prakash 21 Aug '22

21 Aug '22

Dear Members, We are happy to inform you that Ashoka University (NCR- Delhi / Sonepat- Haryana) will be hosting the 7th edition of Library Technology Conclave – LTC2023 during 4-6, Jan 2023. Watching the new developments in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) domain and its increasing relevance to the LIS and its user community, we are happy to present the LTC2023 on a highly topical theme, *"*EVOLVING LIBRARY ECOSYSTEM IN THE AI and MACHINE LEARNING* LANDSCAPE" .* In academic campuses around the world, libraries pioneered and provided leadership in the automation of functions and processes very early in the late 60s and 70s of the last century. But somewhere, the LIS community appears to have lagged behind in embracing machine learning (ML) in its knowledge organization and management functions. The ML bug is catching up now with LIS in a serious way leading to the development of new tools based on ML and Deep Learning (DL) in areas like semantic search, voice-based search queries, recommender systems, automated classification & indexing, knowledge graph generation, new citation metrics models based on context-analysis, and so on. There are many examples of how AI can improve or even transform information discovery and library management functions like, reference services, citation mapping, citation metrics, plagiarism checking, classification and indexing, etc. LTC2023 will be coming with many new interesting & innovative models of presentations by researchers & library practitioners alike. Save the dates and watch this space for more announcements and the launch of the conclave website soon. See you soon ! *B.P. Prakash* Director - Library Services | Ashoka University * M: +91 9028005817 l T: +91 130 2300650 | ** <library.ashoka.edu.in <http://library.ashoka.edu.in>>* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

We need facts
by Subbiah Arunachalam 21 Aug '22

21 Aug '22

Friends, Here is a short version of a news story that appeared in the New York Times on 18 August 2022. Title: Walensky, Citing Botched Pandemic Response, Calls for C.D.C. Reorganization. Key points: Among other flaws, public guidance during the coronavirus pandemic was “confusing and overwhelming,” the agency said. “My goal is a new, public health, action-oriented culture at C.D.C. that emphasizes accountability, collaboration, communication and timeliness,” Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky, the agency’s director, said in a statement on 17th August. **** Dr Walensky is courageous enough to admit when something has gone wrong. In India, we are not even sure of the real number of Covid caused deaths except that it is huge, although we are often told that we had managed the pandemic well. How many of us, members of this Forum of librarians and information scientists, know how much of our public funds are spent annually on subscriptions to journals published by overseas publishers (Elsevier, Wiley, Springer-Nature, Taylor& Francis, ACS, etc.)? Or, how much is spent collectively by Indian academic and other research performing institutions by way of APC (article publishing charges)? That looks odd in a country known for its excellence in statistics and great statisticians such as the Late P C Mahalanobis and C R Rao, widely acknowledged as world leaders in the field. If anyone has the right figures, please share them with the members of this Forum. Without facts we cannot make good evidence-based policies, be it an overarching policy for science, technology and innovation or a policy for open science or answer the question "should India join Plan S?" Facts should guide even a no-brainer like should the funding agency agree to cover outrageous article publishing charge (e.g. the APC for *Nature Neuroscience* in 2022 is €9,500/US $11,390/£8,290) for a scientist to publish in a brand name journal or should it give priority to pay the scholarship amounts to Junior Research Fellows who were not getting it for months together. Best wishes.
