Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 206, Issue 41
by Anand Dodamani 24 May '20

24 May '20

Dear All, This mail has reference to the ongoing discussion on a large number of webinars happening in the field of LIS since the start of lockdown period. There is no doubt that these Webinars have provided an opportunity for all us to spend our idle time at home productively either through sharing knowledge as speakers or gaining knowledge as listeners. But there is a saying in English that 'too much of a good thing can be bad'. We know that even breathing pure oxygen at higher than the normal partial pressure will lead to oxygen poisoning. What I want to say is that the human mind has its own limitations and it can absorb information only to certain extent and whatever we offer beyond that limit will go waste. We have to accept the fact the increased number of Webinars in the field of LIS during this lockdown period have created a kind of confusion among the professionals with regard to their participation in them. In contrary to this, as Dr. Vinit Kumar has rightly pointed out, most of these Webinars are optional in nature and it is left to the professionals to decide whether they want to take part in them. As I have noticed, most of the Webinars conducted so far in the field had wonderful themes. Though I personally wanted to attend most of them, I could not do so due to clash of dates and timings between the events. The beauty of these Webinars is that they can be made available in the form of You Tube recordings for those who missed them. We can enrich our knowledge by watching those videos during our free time. Some of the reasons for the increased number of Webinars are: 1. Most of the librarians want to prove to their management that they are productive even during the lockdown by organising various webinars. 2. Most of the LIS professionals want to attend as many number of Webinars as possible to collect Certificates of Participation so that they use them for their promotional prospects. If we change our mind sets and learn how to be selective in choosing the events for participation based on their quality and our requirements, then we need not worry about the increasing numbers. Instead of holding Webinars exclusively for LIS professionals, I think we (librarians) should hold such events for the benefit of our own library users (students/ faculty/ researchers) which will not only enhance the visibility to our work as librarians but will also give us a satisfaction of doing something fruitful for the welfare of the society.

“MARC Must Die” 15 Years On (By Roy Tennant)
by Salman Haider 22 May '20

22 May '20

*Title:* “MARC Must Die” 15 Years On *Author:* Roy Tennant *URL:* https://www.librarianshipstudies.com/2020/05/marc-must-die-15-years-on.html *Note:* This article was originally published in the OCLC research blog Hanging Together¹ on October 15, 2017. It is being republished here with permission from the author. *Excerpt:* Fifteen years ago to the day I declared that “MARC Must Die” in Library Journal. It sparked a firestorm of criticism, mostly from the cataloging community, and several invitations to speak. Over the years many would misquote the title or misunderstand my point, and claim that I said “MARC is dead”. I didn’t, and there is a key difference. I simply knew that MARC remained a sacred cow in libraryland and I was intent to blow it up (how’s that for mixing metaphors?) I wanted librarianship to wake up to the fact that our foundational standard was no longer serving us like it should. Unfortunately, some seemed to take it as a blow directed against catalogers, not the standard that they were accustomed to working with.

From: fgct(a)socio.org.uk <fgct(a)socio.org.uk> Sent: 16 May 2020 16:27 Second International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2020) Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhuhai, China (near Hong Kong) December 07-09, 2020 (www.socio.org.uk/stm<http://www.socio.org.uk/stm>) If the COVID 19 impact persists till the conference, 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. Journal of Contemporary Eastern Asia 3. Special Section in Research Evaluation 4. Journal of Scientometric Research 5. Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science 6. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research 7.

Dear Professional Colleagues, Please accept my apologies for asking these laymen questions, if this has been already discussed in LIS forum. I would like to know if any of us have prepared a protocol of operations of the library after lockdown is lifted. How are you planning to reopen the library and its services? In your library What are the preparations/procedures laid down in handling user services? How have you prepared for social distancing, precautions in handling of returned books, postal mails, staff duty. Are you going to practice closed access system until such time that we feel safe? Care and preservation of rare materials? I would value your input and suggestions and what is viable in our context. We want to protect human lives first and then resources. How do we cater to user needs in this scenario?

The present-day odds open up new opportunities for the research community to contemplate, identify and prioritize areas for research, design operative modes of cooperative working, set-up knowledge supply-chain channels for production and delivery in tandem, This will ensure inclusive delivery of innovations to the targeted beneficiaries in society, facilitated by creative frameworks guaranteeing fair benefit sharing among the participating stakeholders.
