Read the full call for papers DCDC (Discovering Collections, Discovering Communities) is a cross-sectoral conference, hosted byThe National Archives,RLUK and Jisc, that brings together the GLAMA sector (galleries, libraries, archives, museums and academia) to share our experiences, innovations, interests and concerns. — DCDC22 will showcase how digital innovation is transforming the cultural heritage and academic sectors and their relationship with their audiences. From individual projects, to national programmes, for organisations and groups large and small, we look forward to examining the opportunities and challenges that digital technologies and collaboration can offer. Emerging technologies have brought considerable benefits to cultural heritage organisations, transforming approaches to institutional collections, our ways of working, and the way people discover and engage with collections. As research continues to drive innovation, how can we ensure that our practices remain relevant, open, inclusive, representative and transformative? How can our practices in turn enable new innovations? Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and virtual and augmented reality are strengthening access to collections and renewing audience engagement across the GLAMA sector. At the same time, these technologies also raise questions around representation and ethics. DCDC22 is an opportunity for colleagues to share knowledge and experience within the GLAMA community. We will explore how to build accessible, inclusive systems and promote greater access and engagement between our institutions, communities and groups. Championing creativity and talent within the GLAMA sector and exploring digital solutions at scale, DCDC22 is a forum for knowledge-exchange between organisations and individuals at all levels. We will explore how research is reimagining how our collections are formed and preserved, how audiences engage with and contribute to our work, and how we plan for the future. DCDC22 call for papers DCDC22 invites proposals on this year’s theme of Inclusive Innovation on any project involving archives, libraries, museums and other heritage and cultural organisations and groups in partnership with each other, communities and the academic sector. § Libraries, archives, and museums as catalysts for community cohesion § Leadership, culture and data: overcoming organisational barriers to digital inclusion § The role of peer learning and support in addressing digital inequalities § Navigating the future of technology: future-proofing the sector § Innovating to sustain collections and communities § Collections and AI: digitally ready infrastructure and practices § Supporting equal and inclusive access to knowledge § Engaging wider audiences, perspectives and voices § Digital and data poverty § Algorithmic fairness and transparency, open data and information literacy § Ethical system design, usability and equality of access § Developing digitally ready skill-sets Read the full call for papers Melanie Cheung Executive Assistant Research Libraries UK Tel: +44 (0)20 7862 8647 RLUK Website |Twitter |Youtube |Linkedin Registered Company no: 2733294.

A surreal Bookstore in China
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

2020-10-20 Elizabeth Stamp A Surreal New Bookstore Has Just Opened in China For a book lover, stepping into a bookstore is always exciting, but a new bookstore in China makes the experience absolutely spellbinding. Dujiangyan Zhongshuge, located in Chengdu, was designed by Shanghai-based architecture firm X+Living, which has created several locations for Zhongshuge. The two-story space appears cathedral-like, thanks to the mirrored ceilings and gleaming black tile floors which reflect the bookcases, creating a visual effect that feels akin to an M.C. Escher drawing. “The mirror ceiling in the space is the signature of Zhongshuge bookstore,” says Li Xiang, founder of X+Living. “It effectively extends the space by reflection.” Upon entering, shoppers encounter C-shaped bookcases, which create a series of intimate spaces. In the center of the store, towering arches and columns take advantage of the full height of the space. These bookcases were inspired by the history and topography of the region. “We moved the local landscape into the indoor space,” says Li. “The project is located in Dujiangyan, which is a city with a long history of water conservancy development, so in the main area, you could see the construction of the dam integrated into the bookshelves.” The firm used film printed with books on the upper shelves so it would appear that books stretched from floor to ceiling. “If we placed real books on the upper shelves, it’s not only hard for readers to reach them but also difficult for operators to take care of,” says Li. “The store already has a collection of over 80,000 books, so there’s actually no waste of space.” Another key part of the design was lighting. “We designed light belts on each shelf to create a good light effect, which also draws the outline of each layer, making the shelf more stereoscopic and clear to give readers a visual impact and also make it convenient for readers to find books on the shelves,” says Li. The store’s first floor is home to a café and a playful children’s area, which features bamboo bookcases decorated with pandas. Stacks of colorful cushions provide comfy reading spots for little readers. The second level’s balcony is filled with seating, where customers can browse through their selections, work, or meet. Each space was carefully considered to add to the overall experience. “This project is a holistic concept,” says Li, “We needed to coordinate every part of the space to ensure that any functional item, whether it is a bookshelf or a desk, does not break away from the theme of the concept and at the same time has a sense of beauty.” All the elements of the design come together to give visitors an inspiring shopping experience. “What I find most fascinating about it is that it really presents the local famous man-made landscape, the dam, even though in an abstract, artistic way,” says Li. “But when you stand in the space, and your body feels the big size difference between itself and the foreign object, the impact on your soul is similar to the awe we feel about nature, about the human ingenuity of using nature to build projects for the benefit of our society.” Viewed using Just Read https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/surreal-new-bookstore-opened-china Visit the link to see images!

Audio Recording of interview between Padmasri B.S. Keshavan and Sri Ha. Ma. Nayak telecasted by Akashavani Mysuru on 24th February, 1984
by Gangadhar KC 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Dear Libraryprofessionals, Almost all IndianLibrary Science students might have heard of Padmasri B.S. Keshavan, the firstLibrarian of National Library- Calcutta, who is also known as Father of IndianNational Bibliography. Here’s a most memorable intercourse between two literarygaints which you can really enjoy! Sri Ha. Ma. Nayak, (1931-2000) a few monthsbefore taking charge of Vice-Chancellorship of Gulbarga University, interviewedSri B.S. Keshavan (Bellary Shamanna Kesavan) (1909 –2000), the first Directorof the Indian National Scientific Documentation Centre (INSDOC), FounderLibrarian of National Library of India. Excerpts of the both intellect seemsrelevant at this time also even after 37 years. It was the time in1980s when computers were introduced in western countries. At that time only,Sri BS Keshavan predicted that “even after 100 years, Print books will be there”. There is a message toall the stakeholders of Library Science, working in Public/Academic/SpecialLibraries regarding the qualities one should have; Library Science Coursedevelopers/ Teachers about re-framing of Syllabi for Library Science coursethat suits to Indian context. Sri Ha Ma Nayak quotesSamuel Johnson’s saying ‘Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subjectourselves, or we should know where we can find information upon it’ andcontinued that probably library professionals does the latter one. The audio recording isin Kannada and was telecasted by Akashavani, Mysuru on 24th February,1984. Both of them are not with us now. Hope, you will enjoy the thoughtfulconversation between them, please hear the 22 minutes audio till the end. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1910483609102361&id=10000422221… Dr. Gangadhar K.C.Senior Librarian Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology P.B.No.6429, Yelahanka, Bangalore-560 064.

Friends: I just listened to a talk by Prof. Thomas Pradeu, coordinator of the Institute for Philosophy in Biology and Medicine <https://www.philinbiomed.org/>, CNRS, on why science needs philosophy. Here is the link to the talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE03FDdCR-Y He talks about philosophy *in* science as distinct from philosophy *of* science. I want all members of this list who use or are interested in bibliometrics to listen to the talk. Prof. Pradeu has divided his talk (indeed the 2021 Annual Public Lecture at the Indian Academy of Sciences) into three parts, one of them devoted to bibliometrics. Prof. P Balaram, former director of IISc and former editor of *Current Science*, has often lamented that bibliometrics is being used in India, mostly by members of the LIS community, in ways bordering on the ridiculous and in ways the founder of citation indexing in science and the social sciences, Dr Garfield, would not have approved. Prof. Pradeu and colleagues have used bibliometrics (as one of many tools/approaches) brilliantly to show how philosophy can be used to advance science. The LIS community should be indebted to the Academy for having invited Prof. Pradeu to give the public lecture in this year's Annual Meeting and making the talk available as an excellently produced video recording. In 2018, they had invited the indefatigable crusader for making all knowledge open, Carl Malamud. Best wishes.

UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science to member countries was adopted at its 41st session, in November 2021
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

The UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science was adopted by the General Conference of UNESCO at its 41st session, in November 2021. "UNESCO Recommendations are legal instruments in which “the General Conference formulates principles and norms for the international regulation of any particular question and invites the Member States to take whatever legislative or other steps may be required in conformity with the constitutional practice of each State and the nature of the question under consideration to apply the principles and norms aforesaid within their respective territories”. Emanating from the Organization's supreme governing body and hence possessing great authority, recommendations are intended to influence the development of national laws and practices." Download the full-text from https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000379949.locale=en Watch a short video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3Wkvx_ZaFo It will be a game-changer, as open science regulations will have to be stipulated by the member countries through their national bodies, funders and regulators, including necessary legislative steps, towards open access, open data, open-source, open education, open peer review, open evaluation, citizen science, etc and bringing openness to the full research life cycle. It is a welcome stand taken by DST (Government of India) who included open science in their draft S&T recommendations and other departments/commissions would be asked to follow. ---------- Dr. J. K. VIJAYAKUMAR, Strategic Information Advisor, Office of the Provost, King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) https://academicaffairs.kaust.edu.sa/ https://repository.kaust.edu.sa/handle/10754/673046

Are public libraries on the decline?
by Subbiah Arunachalam 26 Nov '21

26 Nov '21

You may like to read this short interview in Publishers Weekly more than a year and a half ago: https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/libraries/articl… At least in the US, the answer is 'yes,' says Tim Coates, but it is not because people no longer want to read—they want that just as much as they ever did, particularly in print.

Science and Technology Studies (STS) today is a much-professionalised discipline drawing upon other fields such as history of science, philosophy of science and sociology of science. STS offers a deeper understanding of the nature of science and technology, its relation to society and politics, the uniqueness of its social processes and so on. All of this matters deeply to science policy. In this talk, he will be discussing the insights we can take from a philosophy of science approach to the nature of science and the implications of it for science policy, especially for a country like ours. Short bio Sundar Sarukkai works primarily in the philosophy of the natural and the social sciences. He is the founder of Barefoot Philosophers (www.barefootphilosophers.org<http://www.barefootphilosophers.org>) and is currently a Visiting Faculty at the Centre for Society and Policy, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

Study of Cold war India - Online resources survey
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Here is an interesting, exhaustive survey of online resources. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/online-source-primer-study-cold-war-… ///Wilson Center: An Online Source Primer for the Study of Cold War India. "During the past year, the National Archives of India was beset by questions of reorganization, access, and the effects these issues would have on writing histories of India. As the National Archives and the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library came under scrutiny for ongoing renovations, historians of India began to look elsewhere for archival sources; given the ongoing pandemic, our attention shifted to digitized documents primarily of post-1947 government archives.... I have previously written about the newly launched database Ideas of India, an archive of pre- and post-colonial Indian periodicals. The following is a discussion of archives focused less on the socio-cultural space and more on official documents issued by various government ministries."/// Dr P Vyasamoorthy / 9490804278 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Ely’s new cathedral (of books) opens for business

Ely’s new cathedral (of books) opens for business The picture shows the book racks at the £17m Library Storage Facility (LSF) of Cambridge University Library at Ely opened in 2018. Each row of shelving reaches a height of 11.5 metres, around the height of two adult giraffes. The LSF has been built to provide a perfect, climate-controlled environment across 65 miles (106 km) of shelving (the distance between Cambridge and the Houses of Parliament) for its least-requested books – those deemed ‘low-use’. At capacity, the LSF is capable of holding in the region of four million items. At current estimates, the LSF is not expected to be full until 2030 at the earliest. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hr-mohan_elys-new-cathedral-of-books-opens-f… https://lnkd.in/gWZQYXHm With regards HR Mohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Very interesting story related to history of printing
by Mohan Hr 18 Nov '21

18 Nov '21

Very interesting story related to history of printing ====================================== A 1971 cheque from Cambridge University Press instructing Barclay's Bank to repay to the University the debt owed by 16th century printer John Siberch. John Siberch: Cambridge’s first printer (and record debtor?) 2021 is the 500th anniversary of the first works printed in Cambridge Five hundred years ago, John Siberch, the son of a German wool merchant, borrowed £20 from Cambridge University and set up the first printing press in the city. He stayed in Cambridge only a short while before returning to Germany and dying, as far as records suggest, without ever repaying his debt. Adjusting for a compound interest rate of 5% over the intervening five centuries, the debt would today stand in the hundreds of billions Fortunately for any descendants, the original sum was repaid and interest waived by the University in 1971, on the 450th anniversary of Cambridge’s first publication. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hr-mohan_very-interesting-story-related-to-h… https://lnkd.in/g4_pKr4M With regards HR Mohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
