24 Feb '10

To All, In cooperation with IFLA, the publisher De Gruyter Saur is currently updating the "World Guide to Library, Archive and Information Science Associations". The new 3rd edition is scheduled for publication in June 2010. Non-profit associations concerned with the fields of librarianship, documentation, information science and archives, operating on an international or national level will be included free of charge. We would like to ask for your help in providing a new up-to-date reference tool for networking within the LIS field. Over the next months, detailed questionnaires will be mailed to all associations world-wide. On our website under http://www.ifla.org/en/publications/wgla you will find an overview of the information as it was published in the previous edition. In the preparation of the questionnaires we have created control sheets for each country which are meant to be annotated and returned to the editors. We are looking for any feedback indicating what is missing or outdated in the control sheets. We are particularly interested for the contact details of associations which are unlisted in order for them to receive our detailed questionnaire. There is also a template questionnaire for those associations – listed or unlisted so far – wishing to submit their information details immediately. Please spread the news regarding our survey to all the relevant experts whom you consider suitable. You can also send your feedback by e-mail directly to Alexandra Meinhold who is in charge of the survey at De Gruyter Saur: * alexandra.meinhold(a)degruyter.com<alexandra.meinhold(a)degruyter.com?subject=WGLA> *.

Collection development through open access initiatives: the role of the librarian. 2. Institutional repositories: empowering library professionals in developing digital resources. 3. Management of digital collection: empowering library professionals. 4. Libraries outreach activities / extension activities through print and electronic collection. *Inaugural Programme on 18January,2010 at 10 am.* * * *Dr. B. K.

He also highlighted the importance and relevance of the theme in this digital era. Further, he spoke on the importance of the digitization and networking of libraries and information services at libraries in the college level. The commissioner of the Department of Collegiate Education *Dr N Nagambika Devi* inaugurated the conference at 10.30 a m. In her inaugural address she stated that department is contemplating to provide Library software developed by National Informatics Centre to all the colleges including aided colleges free of cost. Further, she also said that the persistent complaints that colleges bring to the notice of the department is that of shortage of hands to handle libraries. She stressed for the need of ‘Adoption of Library Software as imperative and necessary to over come shortage of staff’. Again she was of the opinion that the software will also make functioning in the library much smoother and easier and that training will be given to the librarians in usage of the software at the earliest. Along with this Dr NagambikaDevi also suggested that colleges should involve students in library by making a group of students work in the library. “This exercise will not only help colleges overcome shortage of hands but will also bring students closer to books and library she added.

However advent of internet has brought sea change in access of information and in the nature of information seekers. This has led to digital library, and added that everyone at the virtual space is free to seek and share ideas. He opined that research papers funded by public sponsors are not available on the internet but these papers are published in expensive journals due to which most colleges cannot afford to subscribe these journals.

Now, books at the doorstep of senior citizens, disabled (Chandigarh)
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 19 Feb '10

19 Feb '10

Now, books at the doorstep of senior citizens, disabled TNN, Sep 8, 2009, 01.34am IST CHANDIGARH: There is cheer for senior citizens and disabled in Chandigarh who are fond of reading books and magazines. UT administration has decided to take the library to the doorsteps of senior citizens who are fond of reading but cannot visit libraries owing to the age factor or physical deformity. All that they will have to do for availing the facility is to ring up a number and convey what all they want to read. The scheme is being launched on September 8, World Literacy Day. Conceived under the community outreach programme, the education department, in collaboration with state NSS cell and central state library, has arranged to execute the scheme and deliver books and magazines at houses of senior citizens and disabled with the help of NSS volunteers. Director higher education Ajoy Sharma, the brain behind the scheme, said, "Such persons require assistance and we are doing our best to reach out to them, for ensuring that they do not feel handicapped and their reading habit is sustained. If the aged and disabled cannot come to the library, let the library go to them," he quipped. The modalities of implementation of the scheme have already been worked out. For convenience sake, Chandigarh has been divided into five zones- north, east, west, south and central. Every zone will have two coordinators and 12 NSS volunteers. All that the senior citizens and disabled have got to do is to ring up 2701269 and tell the person at the other end what books or magazines they want to read. The librarians will approach the coordinator in their respective areas who will further assign the work to NSS volunteers. The delivery will be made thrice in a week- on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, over 15 days. The volunteers will deliver and collect the books or magazines from their houses. State librarian Suraj P Nagpal said Chandigarh had central state library, Sector-17, state library, Sector-34, three branch libraries at Manimajra, one in village Badheri and a reading room at Burail. Besides, the city has a mobile library. The total number of members of these libraries is about 45,000. Out of these, about 200 to 300 members are not able to visit the libraries due to one reason or another. Bikram Rana, state liaison officer, NSS cell, UT, said the move would indeed be a service to senior citizens and disabled. Involvement of NSS volunteers, numbering more than 12,000 in Chandigarh, would definitely inculcate the feeling of community service in them, he added. Volunteers would also be assigned the duty of enrolling new members in their respective areas. All formalities will be completed at their houses. The forms, complete in all respects, will be handed over to the state librarian, who will make the enrolments and issue identity cards, Rana said. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/news/city/chandigarh/Now-books-at-the-do… http://snipurl.com/uf2c9 sent by --- Dr P Vyasamoorthy, 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony Secunderabad 500015 Ph 040-27846631 / 9490804278 http://www.google.com/profiles/vyasamoorthy. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

The grassroots approach of ALP will continue, with local communities submitting project proposals. There will be a preference for projects based on IFLA's training packages and that build sustainability and capability in local library communities in developing countries or emerging economies around the world. The centrepiece of the new approach to ALP is the Building Strong Library Associations Programme (BSLA). This comprehensive programme offers a strategic and coordinated approach to capacity building and sustainability of library associations for the benefit of associations, libraries, and their communities.

Sir, There are a lot of Library professionals who are busy in their work but would like to keep in touch with the on going developments in the field by looking at the discussions going on. I am sure most would not like to read the unedited messages which takes time to read and understand. Moderation is essential as it controls the discussions which some times goes beyond the subject field,Long discussion opposing or supporting a point which does not add anything to the subject.

Exploring Plagiarised Text
by Badan Barman 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

Respected forum members, Three days back i came across a blog site called Plagiarised (http://onlineclone.blogspot.com/) which is exploring papers with plagiarized text. I know by seeing the blog posts (if there name is there) professionals will be offended and some one like me (!) will fear of being explore in the days to come. But the real thing is that such type is initiative is really needed and we should join hand to achieve this kind of end. After all what is the importance of publishing a seminar or conference volume if maximum of its articles are derivatives of some kind of earlier publication (plagiarized text), and what is the importance of organizing that seminar itself. I personally not in an assumption, but we all know sufficient prove to justify our comments. So what should be done actually to avoid information pollution. Your comments are welcome at http://lislinks.ning.com/forum/topics/plagiarism-and-indian-lis/ Indian LIS Professionals: http://lislinks.ning.com/ Thanking you Yours faithfully (Sri Badan Barman) Academic Consultant, School of Library & Information Science, Krishna Kanta Handique State Open University, Housefed Complex, Last Gate, Dispur, Guwahati-781006, Assam Phone: 0361-2234964 / 2235971, Fax: 0361- 2235398.

List moderation
by CUK Library 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

Dear all, Mr. Saji S. Nair has raised a very important question. Though list moderation is necessary to avoid the flow of unwanted messages, rigorous scrutiny and blocking of relevant communication is actually the negation of the right to information. As pointed out by Mr. Saji, the number of mails received through LIS Forum per day is very less now a days. Hence, many of the important events and news become unknown to the library community.

On Demand Purchase Model Allows Librarians to Base Acquisition on Usage
by DINESH SIDDAIAH 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Dear Friends, On Demand Purchase Model Allows Librarians to Base Acquisition on Usage Now your library can purchase eContent only when you need it. Through the NetLibrary On Demand purchase model, your library establishes a profile of available titles for your users. Once a title is accessed between one and three times depending on publisher permissions, it is purchased by your library and automatically added to your collection. Because you’ve set the overall strategy through your profile, you maintain complete control of titles available for purchase. Your library will be notified about purchases on a monthly basis and payment can be made through an advance deposit or by monthly invoices. On Demand provides libraries with the least expensive way to acquire new titles because only those titles that are used get triggered for purchase. Contact your OCLC representative for complete details. For more information: http://www.oclc.org/ebooks/ordering/pda.htm?utm_source=WhatCountsEmail&utm_… <http://www.oclc.org/ebooks/ordering/pda.htm?utm_source=WhatCountsEmail&utm_…>Thanking You Dinesh -- Dr. Dinesh K.
