28 Aug '20

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 28 August 2020 11:41 Second International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) University of New South Wales, Australia & Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhuhai, China December 07-09, 2020 (www.socio.org.uk/stm<http://www.socio.org.uk/stm>) Due to the COVID 19 impact, the conference will be organized ONLINE. Building metrics is the key to science and technology measurement and translating the measures to work better. Metric is not confined to draw numbers and analyze. Selecting a metric depends on synthesizing multiple directions and evidence-based data. Producing benchmarks and standards in science and technology evaluation and implementing them with real data, mark the full-fledged system. Quite recently, we are witnessing the emergence of new metrics-based models aiming to reflect science and technology growth. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) conference is concerned with how the use of many metrics may involve the assessment of different aspects of science and technology which are best expressed using different approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, the STMetrics will host a number of workshops and tutorials related to the theme of the conference. The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology System. The goal of the tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with theoretical as well as practical aspects and application of metrics. The proposed conference consists of invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet address the below themes, not limited. Citation-based metrics Ranking of Journals, Institutions, and Countries Discipline and Domain Analysis Economic factors Databases and datasets for evaluation Evaluation Tools and Indicators Web-based metrics Visibility and impact Internationalization Text-based Metrics Innovation indicators Wearable Devices Open data Scientific Collaboration and cooperation analysis National Evaluation Systems Open access and open publishing New indices for evaluation Altmetrics Web-based metrics Data Science and Digital Repositories Scientific Visualization e-Science in the Cloud Scientific Journalism Scientific Publications All submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), and participative peer review. The review process will enable the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors of developing countries. The post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in the following journals. 1. Journal of Digital Information Management 2. Frontiers in Research Metrics 3. Journal of Scientometric Research 4. Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science 5. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research There is no publication fee for the papers selected for the above journals.

WHAT IS LIVING AND WHAT IS DEAD OF RANGANATHAN'S CONTRIBUTIONS?
by Vasanth 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

Dear Sir/Madam, Very debatable title, however in India we have not examined Ranganathan's Contributions to LIS in a much deeper way. Ranganathan's faceted analysis and colon classification was and is much discussed in academic parlance of western universities. There is a huge body of work available on faceted classification. But in India we have not made any siginficant or notable studies on Ranganathan's works. Serious historical research has also not been done on Indian LIS and Ranganathan's major contributions systematically. W. Boyd Rayward of School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois works on Paul Otlet is one notable examples that how we can examine LIS historiography in India. Without much or significant work on Ranganathan's postulates or ideas in India who we can assess his contributions in a more constructive way? ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N. Librarian Mysore

Fw: Request for comments: Draft ‘Copyright Guide for Indian Libraries'
by Prof. N. Laxman Rao. 14 Aug '20

14 Aug '20

Dear friends I feel that being senior professionals and experienced in this topic, I urge u to send ur feedback to prof Das. Ur valuable opinions matter a lot.RegardsLaxman Rao Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android ----- Forwarded message ----- From: "Dr. P.P. Das" <ppd(a)library.iitkgp.ac.in> To: "naglaxman(a)yahoo.com" <naglaxman(a)yahoo.com> Cc: "ppd" <ppd(a)cse.iitkgp.ac.in>, "nandgc" <nandgc(a)gmail.com> Sent: Fri, 14 Aug 2020 at 3:34 Subject: Request for comments: Draft ‘Copyright Guide for Indian Libraries' Dear Dr. Rao, Warm greetings from the National Digital Library of India (NDLI). We hope you and your family are safe and well. These are challenging times indeed. You will be pleased to know that the NDLI has responded actively to the COVID crisis. Shortly after the nationwide lock downs began in March 2020, we launched a ‘Study at Home’ service for students of all levels; a ‘COVID-19 Research Repository’ for stakeholders seeking to develop COVID-related solutions; an ‘Examination Preparatory’ service for students preparing for their board examinations; and a massive drive to make available teacher-sourced lecture videos and new educational resources from publishers. Each of these interventions has met with an overwhelming response, and since April the NDLI has experienced a continuing surge in document views and downloads. We are writing to you now about a different NDLI initiative. On 30th August 2017, IIM Ahmedabad, ADINET, INFLIBNET and Informatics, Bangalore organized a session on “Copyright, Research and Libraries: the way ahead” at Vikram Sarabhai Library, IIM Ahmedabad which was attended by more than 200 librarians from all over India. Librarians opined in this session that the Copyright issues vis-à-vis libraries are in a cloudy state and a working manual would be desirable. A working group under the leadership of Late Dr Anil Kumar, the then Librarian of IIM Ahmedabad, collected and classified questions and concerns from the Librarians in the form of a structured document of questions and concerns during September to December 2017. This concept then incubated into the NDLI as an initiative to get it embedded into the NDLI process. To take the initiative forward, NDLI in February 2018 organized a ‘National Workshop on Copyright Issues in Digital Libraries’ at IIT Kharagpur which was attended by over 100 librarians, library science professionals and copyright experts from premier Indian institutions. From the intense deliberations of the Workshop it transpired that there was an urgent interest among librarians in having a handbook that could demystify copyright issues, identify good practices, and offer practical guidelines for the copyright-related dilemmas that librarians often encounter. Thus was born the idea of developing a Copyright Guide for Indian Libraries. A team of leading IPR experts from around India set to work on the publication. On the occasion of National Library Day 2020 (12 August), we are delighted to announce that the draft Copyright Guide for Indian Libraries is now available for public consultation. You will find the document at: https://ndlproject.iitkgp.ac.in/sites/default/files/files/copyright-guide-d… We value your opinion and were keen to reach out to you personally for your feedback. We would be grateful to have your comments via this questionnaire: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfvoWAjVYbIsFdC6R2EiVoYFavT1RenUW5… The above link will remain active until 30 September 2020. Your response will help us finalize the draft of the Copyright Guide. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you once again for being a strong supporter and well-wisher of the NDLI. Yours sincerely, Prof. Partha Pratim Das Jt. Principal Investigator, NDL Project and Professor, Department of Computer Science & Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur 721302, India

The NEP-2020 and M.Phil degrees
by Koteswara Rao Mamidi 11 Aug '20

11 Aug '20

Dear Friends, The New Education Policy - 2020 by and large has been welcomed by almost all the academicians and educationalists, barring a few who are trying to seek answers to some genuine questions from the present Government. Now, coming back to our LIS field, I am glad that the much debated and criticized M. Phil degree is abandoned. I remember there were many arguments about their quality, mode of study, validity and equivalency compared to regular Ph. D in this forum. I am sure that many would agree with me that our UGC is known for creating new rules & regulations and later make amendments to them or even remove them altogether later. I hope at least now our LIS schools/departments including open universities try to maintain the required minimum standards while granting research degrees in LIS, so that our students will not end up jobless even after doing a PhD.

The new National Educational Policy, 2020: What is in it for Libraries? – A Librarian’s Day Webinar – 12 August 2020, 3-5 PM
by Sathyanarayana NV 09 Aug '20

09 Aug '20

Welcome to Librarian’s Day Celebration! https://bit.ly/IPLSRR2020<https://bit.lyi/PLSRR2020> India's much awaited new National Education Policy 2020, was released last week. The first policy on education was unveiled in 1968, followed by the second in 1986 which was revised in 1992. The current policy is third in the series. Many questions spring up in this context. What is the place of Libraries in this policy? Is there a new vision for libraries in education? Is this policy in-tune with the transformational changes in the role and shape of libraries that is being witnessed in the current digital age? Are there new role-recognitions for the LIS profession which is enthusiastic about re-positioning as lead players in the information and knowledge management domain? The topic is hot and the time is right for this year’s Librarian’s Day to debate on libraries in the educational ecosystem of the country as envisioned in the new policy. Sharada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science, a charitable Trust promoted by Dr. Ranganathan, is organising this year’s Librarians’ Day by arranging a webinar on “The Place of Libraries in the National Education Policy, 2020: Integrating the Learning Landscapes”. Joining hands with the Endowment in this program are: Karnataka State Library Association (KALA), Informatics India Ltd. Bangalore and Ranganathan Centre for Information Studies, Chennai. The webinar is scheduled for 12th August (3-5pm), the official birth date of SRR which is celebrated in India as Librarian’s Day. The program highlights are: Keynote by: Prof. T. D. Kemparaju, Vice Chancellor, Bengaluru North University, Kolar, Karnataka Panel Debate Anchored by: Prof. Shalini Urs, Chairperson, MYRA School of Business, Mysore With Panellists: * Dr. Ishwar Bhat, former Pro-Vice Chancellor, Presidency University, Bangalore, and former Librarian, Birla Institute of Technology, Pillani * Ms. Usha Mukunda, Centre for Learning, Bangalore * Dr. Anand Byrappa, Chief Librarian, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore * Dr. B.
