Message from DG of UNESCO on the occasion of World Book and Copyright Day
by Mailing List Admin 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 10:30:54 +0100 (BST) From: Puna Das <puna_05(a)yahoo.co.in> Message from Mr Ko�chiro Matsuura, Director-General of UNESCO, on the occasion of World Book and Copyright Day 23 April 2008 Since 23 April 1996, World Book and Copyright Day has brought together millions of people in more than 100 countries in both the South and North in the solemn celebration of the many functions of the book in the life of human society. It has also invited them to reflect on the place of copyright in connection with books. In 2008, this event offers a new opportunity for political decision-makers, economic agents and those active in civil society to give pride of place, each in their own field, to this unique instrument of culture, education, participation, communication and entertainment � the book. Books contribute to shaping and maintaining the educational, cultural and economic fabric of our societies, and play multiple and fundamental roles in it. These works of the mind protected by copyright, which enrich the intangible heritage of humanity, are also merchandise, a duality that has been highlighted and analysed on many occasions. Books are thus the pivot in a vast chain of incomegenerating activities and professions, and an important component of economic development. The proclamation by the United Nations General Assembly of 2008 as International Year of Languages invites us moreover to reconsider another dimension of books which complements those mentioned above: the linguistic dimension of publishing. Books are in fact a means of expression which live through language and in language. Every book is written, produced, exchanged, used and appreciated in a specific linguistic framework. When selecting their language, authors are also selecting their readers, who should be able to understand what they write. Translation helps to build linguistic bridges leading to new books and new readers. When a language has no access to the world of publishing, it is excluded � together with those who speak it � from a significant part of the intellectual life and economic activity of society. Hence the importance of developing multilingualism through translation. At a time when the proclamation of International Year of Languages has brought the matter of languages and multilingualism to the top of the international agenda, it is more essential than ever to reflect on the future of books as vehicles for expression and linguistic recognition. In this context, it is then a matter of urgency to give languages broader access to publishing, so as to promote the exchange of books and editorial content, and thus �the free flow of ideas by word and image� enshrined in the Constitution of UNESCO. On this thirteenth World Book and Copyright Day, I solemnly call upon all the Member States, partners and friends of UNESCO to join us in reflection and action to ensure that the place of books and reading receives full recognition for the benefit of a world that can claim to be genuinely multilingual, even in practice.

Public funding and open access
by Saiful Amin 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Sorry for cross posting. Thought of sharing this editorial from The Hindu: http://www.hindu.com/2008/04/22/stories/2008042255590800.htm * Public funding and open access * Of what use is research, particularly when it is funded by the government, if the results published in peer-reviewed journals are not freely accessible to the scientific community? Since many journals allow access to published papers only on subscription, researchers, especially those in developing countries, find themselves at a disadvantage. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), the United States' federal agency for conducting and supporting research, has now corrected the anomaly. The Consolidated Appropriations Act passed recently makes it mandatory for researchers funded by the NIH after April 7, 2008, to submit their final peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication to the agency's PubMed Central online repository for free access not later than one year after the official date of publication. The scientific community is bound to greatly benefit as nearly 80,000 publications arise from NIH-funded projects every year. Yet, allowing for an embargo of up to a year is not healthy, particularly in the field of medicine. By making it mandatory to submit the manuscript even before its publication, the new policy has ensured that free access will be possible immediately after the expiry of the embargo date. Its initial move in 2005 to make free access possible failed as investigators were under no compulsion to comply. Though several open access peer-reviewed journals have come into being, they are not the first choice for paper submission since they do not enjoy the same standing as the established journals. Though subscription is a source of revenue for journals, the apprehension that free online access would hurt their bottomline is misplaced; the Act is applicable only to papers arising from NIH-funding. In fact, a number of publishers have already agreed to make published articles available to PubMed Central directly. It is commendable that the NIH did not allow commercial interests of publishers to override the merits of free dissemination of information as an essential requirement for scientific advance. The NIH has resolved the contentious issue of copyrights that was dogging free access. By making the authors responsible for working out a copyrights transfer agreement with the publishers that allows them to comply with the policy, it has ensured greater compliance. And by spelling out clearly that compliance with the policy is a "statutory requirement" and that non-compliance will delay or prevent future grants, the policy has ensured that open access becomes a reality at last. -- Saiful Amin +91 9343826438 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Using Google Docs for Conducting Research and Surveys Online - Easy and Simple
by Sukhdev Singh 20 Apr '08

20 Apr '08

Dear friends, If you are doing some research or survey, you know how difficult and time consuming it is to prepare questionnaire, mail it and tabulate the responses. However, today a number of online survey tools and services are available, like the SurveyMonkey. Unfortunately, there are restrictions for free versions of such online survey tools. If you don't like restrictions, move on to Google Docs. It is an Online Office suite from Google - http://docs.google.com - still, it can prove to be a handy tool for conducting research or survey online. Thanks to some new features added to it. These features enable Questionnaire / Survey Forms creation and emailing them directly. The beauty of Google Docs is that there is always a background spreadsheet linked for each such form. The responses to the questions are automatically added to spreadsheet in Google Docs. With Google Docs, you can create your Online Survey / Research Forms. Send these through Email or simply send the unique URL of the online survey form. Survey participants do not require any Sign-in for filling online survey forms. Their responses can be filled out directly from email client. As already told, responses are automatically added to a Linked Spreadsheet. This spreadsheet can be used to further analyse the responses. It is easy, simple and fun with Google Docs. For creating a Survey Form, visit Google Docs. Use your Gmail User ID and Password to login. If you do not have an Account with Google, better create it now. Once logged in, select a new spreadsheet. Make it sharable by clicking on "Share" tab. It will prompt to enter the title for the spreadsheet and save it. After that, from available options, select "to fill out a form". Next step is to create a Survey Form. It is very simple and intuitive. Once the form is complete, you can preview it and send it by emailing it to large number of participants. The Google Docs responds back with a confirmatory email. As the participants start filling up the form, data is captured in a linked spreadsheet at back. I have created a small presentation for explaining it. The same is available at http://www.slideshare.net/sukhi along with other presentations. You can also follow the following direct link - http://snipr.com/252r6 - to view this presentation.

Dear All, We have developed a global search software of e-resources/e- contents. We have observed many problems on the user's side such as when the URL of a particular e-resource gets changed (usually from the publishers side) then users are not able to access and view the e-resources. To prevent this problem, somebody has advised us to create our own link server. Therefore, could anybody help me as to how we can create our own Open URL.. Your earliest reply will be appreciated. *Regards* *Jaya Kalra* *Senior Consultant - LIS Group* *Total IT Solutions Pvt.

NewGenLib demo now on a public IP
by L J Haravu 19 Apr '08

19 Apr '08

Dear Forum professionals I am happy to let you know that it is now possible for anyone to use open source NewGenLib via the server-side installation on one of our public IP machines. Please follow the steps given below. With this, you can use all the functionality as though the software is installed for you. However, the data added will be stored only temporarily and may be deleted. Please note that although this is a full fledged application, it is only to demonstrate to professionals and to help then get a first hand feel of the software. 1. Install J2RE1.4.2 on one or more client machines from the Sun Microsystems web site. This is the run time version of Java and needs to be installed on all clients that plan to access NewGenLib functionality. 2. Once you have successfully installed J2RE1.4.2 on your client machine, open your Internet browser and enter the URL, http://121.246.154.208:8080/newgenlibctxt/LaunchApplication 3. You will soon see a JAVA Starting window and the very first time that you launch the NewGenLib client, it will download the application from our server to your machine. This may take time and depends on the bandwidth you have. From the second and subsequent times, the applet is loaded from your client unless there has been an update of the server side software. 4. You will soon see a dialog where you need to enter the IP address of the server. This is 121.246.154.208. The port by default shown is 8080. You need not change this. Click OK in this dialog. 5. Next you will see the Login screen of NewGenLib. Enter xyz as the User_id and abc as the password. This user does not have all the System Administrator permissions. 6. Soon you will see the main menu of the NewGenLib applet with the functional modules on top. Click any of the main menu options to see the different functions possible within the module 7. To see the OPAC of the installation, open your Internet browser and enter 8. http://121.246.154.208:8080/newgenlibctxt and you will soon see the opening page of the OPAC with search and other options I would be happy to answer any questions but better still would be for professionals to go the discussion forum on Sourceforge.net, http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=210780 and create an account and post your problems, suggestions. Best regards. Haravu -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Librarians of Private Academic Institution
by Balesh Kumar 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

Dear Sir, As you need the information regarding the status of Librarians of Private Academic institutions. I would like to say the following: Now there are instititution who are paying at par with the Govt. Institutions. they are following the AICTE/UGC norms now to a great extent. I am working in a private engg. college in Haryana and availing all the benefits that are available in a govt. institute in terms of money. Now pension scheme is not available even in govt. employees who are being employed in recent few years. other future provisions are being given to us like EPF, grauty, medical insourance etc. As for security is concerned it is totally dependent on your performance, capabilities and abilities. There can not be secuurity like the govt. institutions. The private institutions who are in sound financial position may impliment the sixth pay commission with immidiate effect or may take some time but not much more or may not pay with the back effect. Thanking you, Balesh Kumar Balesh Kumar Librarian Haryana College of Technology & Management Ambala Road, Kaithal-136 027 (Haryana) Ph.: (O) 01746-280100, 280102, Fax: 280711 (M) 09416073008 --------------------------------- Did you know?

Lack of operational freedom in libraries
by gayathri sen 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

Dear friends, I completely agree with the opinion of all three that is, Dr.Sahib, Shri.Rajashekaran and Shri. Koteshwara Rao 1. Collection development of a particular library has to take place by the participation of all stake holders concerned. ie., faculty, students and librarian. 2. An innovative and dynamic librarian with working experience in a big library is definately capable of making good selections. He can choose quality publishers and select only in areas of study at the institution keeping in mind institutional goals and aspirations provoided required freedom is given. 3. to add one copy of each book in relevant subject areas should not be withheld from the responsibilities of librarian. At least that much freedom he should be given. Reason for poor collections of books in many institutions is, librarian does not have the authority to add, teachers do not have the time or interest. It is the student who suffers to the maximum extent. Institution never progresses academically because of poor collection. Information when wanted is not available. 4. 50% of the budgeted amount can be utilised for faculty selection, 25% for student request and 25% for librarian's choice 5.The % can also change depending on institutions policy. 6. NBA, NAAC, AICTE, UGC etc from top level and the Library associations together has to ensure that proper freedom and working environments has to be provoded for librarians to acheive and proove themselves. 7. I have noticed that in most cases, it is due to lack of freedom and support that librarians cannot achieve. It may be automation, good collection development etc. etc. 8. I have also noticed many new comers to the profession, especially those who qualify through correspondence, do not have an idea of how a library should run. 9. Institutions, especially private managements want to hire people giving the least possible salaries. naturally, the quality of work force is equally bad. This creates a very bad impression about all librarians. 10. Not many from science background are taking up this profession and as my esteem collegue pointed out they just to not have idea about science or engineering subjects, either for book selection or classification. Who will bell the cat is the question?(or how to solve this problem) Regards, Gayathri Sen PESIT __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Request from USA
by vimal kumar 18 Apr '08

18 Apr '08

Dear Friend, My friend from a US library requests a help from me. Following is his request, anybody can help him. I wanted to ask for a little help: lately I've been cataloging a number of works in Hindi (mostly videos) and Panjabi (books, music and videos). Usually the Panjabi books have a Romanized title on the verso that we can use for our English-language cataloging records, but these are usually phonetic and seldom transliterated into English. It occurred to me that, with the 22 languages in official use throughout India, perhaps there might be a multi-lingual glossary of common words used in library work, general terms such as 'fiction', 'poetry', 'biography' etc. We use a list of this kind in Spanish here, because it is virtually the second language in California. Have you ever come across a resource like this in library school? I'm mainly interested in this kind of terminology in Hindi and Panjabi, but if there is a master library glossary or 'cheat-sheet' for other Indian languages, I think my boss would be happy to get a hold of one!

In case of non-receipt of of the invitation please treat this LIS-FORUM message as the invitation and please attend the meeting without fail. We need to revive and make KALA more vibrant both in terms of activities and membership. A good number of youngsters are interested in joining the association and carry forward its objectives. Although there are good number of professional associations, they scope is limited to academic or public library etc. We need to make KALA fully functional as an apex association at the state level. The need of the hour is: 1. To elect a cohesive and active group to take over as the office bearers of the KALA. 2. We can think of having: - an experienced professional as the President - talented, enthusiastic and hard working professional as Secretary. - a treasure who will work in collaboration with Secretary, preferably working very close to Secretary's place 3. We should change the by-laws of the association to suit the present requirements. 4. We should take up the membership drive seriously 5. Apart from conducting monthly lectures we should organize some seminars, workshops, etc. I openly admit that we could not do much especially in the later part of our tenure due to many constraints. For many years SRELS has been kind enough to give its premises for KALA activities. The KALA does not have its own address. We should discuss and take appropriate steps in this direction. I invite all member to attend the meeting and specifically request the young professionals to take over the regime from us.

by Rajesh Aldarthi 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Dear Professionals, Librarian's cry of over a month to restore, "Abortion" as a search term in Reproductive Health Database POPLINE (population Information Online) bought up fruitful results to researchers, in retrieving good amount of information. Earlier term abortion has been added to stop list, because of federal laws dating back to 1973. Popline is being funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development and contains more than 360,000 items about family planning and sexually transmitted disease.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Profit and Value: UNESCO helps preserve Indian documentary heritage
by Suvarsha Walters 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

This discussion is interesting - of making profit and creating value. A lot of the web is free, yet we use it everyday. It is not devalued just because it is free. And again, there are a lot of people making huge profits (money) by providing things for free - for example this very email service that I use for free. It is about creating value - if it is valuable, people will use it and you can also make money with it. A collection of rare material may not be of value to everyone - but it is of value to a specific set of users - historians, antropologists etc. and it is of great value to a nation in general. If our library has such a collection then we are entrusted with two responsiblities (our value add for the salary we get) - preserve it and make it accessible. Now how we do it efficienty is left to us - get funds, raise funds; outsource, do it inhouse. If an external vendor can do it for you more efficiently (for example for a small collection it may work out cheaper), then you should go ahead with it. The vendor making profits is not our concern at all, as long as he delivers for what he is being paid for. That is his value add to society.

Fiction and Facts Regarding new NIH open access policy
by Sukhdev Singh 17 Apr '08

17 Apr '08

Dear Friends, As most of you know that in United States a legislation has been passed dealing with its National Institute of Health's Policy on Open Access (No wonder, why US is the world leader). This policy will ensure that public will have access to the published results of NIH funded research. It requires scientists to submit journal articles that arise from NIH funds to the digital archive PubMed Central (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/) The Policy requires that these articles be accessible to the public on PubMed Central to help advance science and improve human health. US National Library of Medicine comes under NIH and is the leading library and resource in for Biomedical Research. There are some doubts (probably created by publishers' interests) regarding this policy. I am reproducing a table from an article by Peter Suber about the "Common misconceptions about the new NIH open access policy" and the facts. Fiction 1: The mandate is to publish in open access journals. Fact 1: The mandate is to deposit in an open access repository (PubMed Central). Fiction 2: The mandate is to bypass journals and peer review. Fact 2: The mandate is to provide open access to articles already published in peer-reviewed journals. Fiction 3: The mandate applies to the published version of articles. Fact 3: The mandate applies to the final versions of the authors' peer-reviewed manuscripts. Fiction 4: The mandate directs deposits to PubMed. Fact 4: The mandate directs deposits to PubMed Central. Fiction 5: The mandate requires a 12-month embargo on the copy in PubMed Central. Fact 5: The mandate permits an embargo of up to 12 months on the copy in PubMed Central. Fiction 6: The new NIH budget is US$29 million. Fact 6: The new NIH budget is US$29 billion. Fiction 7: The new mandate will last for only 1 year. Fact 7: The new mandate will last indefinitely. Fiction 8: The mandate requires violation of copyright law. Fact 8: The mandate requires compliance with copyright law.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Profit and Value: UNESCO helps preserve Indiandocumentary heritage
by Sukhdev Singh 16 Apr '08

So, the moral of the story is - "In Net Age, Don't make profit from Content, Generate it from Somewhere Else". This "Somewhere Else" is the key to success. And profit does not always mean "money". At least not for a library meant for academic / social purposes. --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 7:12 PM, sathya <sathya(a)informindia.co.in> wrote: > Yes.

Hi Everyone! I'm an M.Phil Scholar who want to know how to attempt the theory paper. Especially the pattern of writing. After my 10 + 2, I never attended college regularly, I'm a correspondent student till my Post Graduation. After a long gap, I started attending college for library science course. Can anyone please give some guidelines as to how to start answering, to proceed and to finish. It's not like the under-graduation or post-graduation paper, a scholarly presentation is needed. I need some help so that I can start preparing for my part-1 paper. My papers are: 1. Research Methodology 2. current developments in LIS Thanks in advance. Valentina. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
