Announcement: T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture 2025 (Online Event)
by Francis Jayakanth 04 Jun '25

04 Jun '25

Dear Members, Greetings from the NCSI-NET Foundation. The T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture 2025 will be held online to commemorate the late Dr. T.B. Rajashekar's lasting contributions to the library and information science field, particularly in advancing open access and digital library infrastructure in India. We are pleased to announce that Dr. Madhan Muthu, Director (Library), OP Jindal Global University, Sonipat, Haryana, India, will deliver this year’s memorial lecture on the following topic: Building Open Access Infrastructure Using Interoperable Technologies and Capacity Building: The Idea Behind T.B. Rajashekar’s Initiatives The lecture will revisit Dr. Rajashekar’s pioneering work promoting interoperable institutional repositories and empowering LIS professionals through open-source technologies and nationwide training programs. It will reflect on the relevance of his vision in today’s global push for open, accessible, and interoperable scholarly infrastructure and discuss how Indian library professionals can continue to build on this legacy. Interoperable institutional repositories came to India as early as the open access movement began gaining momentum worldwide, thanks to the pioneering initiatives of T.B. Rajasekar and his colleagues at NCSI in the early 2000s. They established India's first such repository and made significant efforts to empower librarians nationwide by conducting workshops to share their expertise on open-source platforms. Indian librarians had valuable opportunities and support, such as tools and training, to promote open access in India. However, have they truly taken advantage of those opportunities? Madhan's talk will explore Rajasekar's emphasis on interoperable, institutionally-defined repositories that enable easy, web-wide access and visibility of research papers through seamless metadata sharing. He will also discuss why Rajasekar’s foundational work remains essential, why it must be continued, and what librarians in India can do to carry forward his legacy, particularly now (though belatedly), when there is growing global recognition of the value of interoperable repositories. Madhan will further highlight recent developments in metadata aggregation and improvements in secondary information services. Platform: Microsoft Teams Mode: Online only Date & Time: Tuesday, 24 June 2025, 3.30 P.M. IST Meeting link: Will be shared in the following announcement We invite you to join us for this session as Dr Madhan reflects on the past and looks ahead to the future of open access. Warm regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth (On behalf of the Organising Team)

#35: Interview with Annalena Oppel on the importance of digital storytelling in scholarly communication
by Santosh C. H. 04 Jun '25

04 Jun '25

Dear Sir/ Madam, Greetings! Happy to share the *35th interview post* on 'Open Interview'. *Annalena Oppel: Digital storytelling makes the audience not only understand stories but also feel and empathise* https://openinterview.org/2025/06/03/annalena-oppel-digital-storytelling-ma… -- In this email interview with me for Open Interview, *Annalena Oppel* reflects on the profound role of storytelling as a vessel for shared emotions and a catalyst for social change. She emphasizes the growing significance of digital storytelling in scholarly communication, noting its power to illuminate the intricate interrelations and interdependencies across various fields of study. Annalena asserts that while literacy in digital storytelling can benefit from familiarity with creative writing, visual storytelling, visual arts, or film, the most essential element is a connection to one’s own creative instincts—and perhaps the courage to begin from that personal space. -- Annalena Oppel is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the LSE International Inequalities Institute. She holds a DPhil in Development Studies from the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex. Her work involves interdisciplinary and creative approaches to inequality research. She further works on the epistemic foundations of inequality through the lens of race and meritocracy. Prior to joining LSE, she has been a Research Associate at UNU WIDER, and a Visiting Fellow at Harvard University. She works as a consultant with partners such as GIZ, GDN, and ODI. She is interested in initiatives that rethink development research and practice through a decolonial lens. -- Please read the post and share your valuable comments on the blog.

STMet 2025 at Macau and Vietnam
by STM STMet 2024 27 May '25

27 May '25

Sixth International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2025) October 13-14, 2024 Macau Millennium College, Macau (Near Hong Kong) and also at Posts and Telecommunication Institute of Technology November 5-6, 2025 Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam https://www.socio.org.uk/stm Co-located with Springer Real-Time Intelligent Systems (https://www.socio.org.uk/rtis) Participants can attend either in Macau or Vietnam. Building metrics is the key to science and technology measurement, and translating the measures to work better. The metric is not confined to drawing numbers and analysing. Selecting a metric depends on synthesising multiple directions and evidence-based data, producing scientific and technological evaluation benchmarks and standards, and implementing them with real data to mark a full-fledged system. Quite recently, we have witnessed the emergence of new metrics-based models aiming to reflect the growth of science and technology. The proposed Science and Technology Metrics (STMet 2025) conference concerns how many metrics may involve assessing different aspects of science and technology, which are best expressed using various approaches. Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, STMetrics will host several workshops and tutorials related to the conference’s theme. The workshops provide participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application of metrics in Science and Technology Systems. The tutorials aim to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with theoretical and practical aspects and the application of metrics. The proposed conference includes invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops, and discussions. The STMet has tracks on specialized topics. The STMet addresses the themes below, but is not limited to them. The proposed conference includes invited talks, presentations, tutorials, workshops, and discussions.

The review process will enable selecting those who will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered for the conference can access the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers, so they can improve the final version of their papers accordingly. Mentoring support is available to young researchers and authors from developing countries. Please note that all submitted papers undergo review and editing by senior editors. We will take care of content enhancement and language editing. There is no fee for editing and language correction services. Selected post-conference modified versions of the papers will be published in the following journals. 1. Journal of Digital Information Management 2. Performance Measurement and Metrics 3. International Journal of Computational Linguistics Research There is no further publication fee for the above journals. The STMet 2025 has many co-located workshops. Proceedings We publish the papers after restructuring and editing are complete. All the past conference papers are indexed in Google Scholar.

Friends, Until a few years ago, the world viewed the United States as the leader of the 'free' world (as opposed to countries ruled by 'autocrats'/'dictators'/'despots'). It is no longer true. DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), equal rights to women, research in science and healthcare, non-Whites, free academia are all anathema to the President and his yesmen. Carla Heyden, a distinguished librarian, who was the Librarian of Congress for more than nine years, was dismissed a few days ago. Incidentally, she was Black. But the reason given for dismissal: she kept in the library books inappropriate to children. Everyone knows that the Library's collections are not open to children. Arun Book World News: The Library of Congress [From: LibraryThing] The Trump Administration fired Carla Hayden, the 14th Librarian of Congress. Hayden was appointed by President Obama in 2016, and would have completed her ten-year term in 2026. Before serving as the Librarian of Congress, Hayden was the director of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore and served as President of the American Library Association. Explaining the firing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Hayden "did not fit the needs of the American people" and accused her of "putting inappropriate books in the library for children." This explanation did not satisfy critics, as the Library of Congress receives two copies of every book published in the United States, keeps a high proportion of them, and its collections are not generally open to children. Hayden's firing occasioned a flood of reactions by individuals and organizations. The American Library Association praised Hayden as “a wise and faithful steward of the Library of Congress,” describing her dismissal as “unjust” and “an insult to the scope and breadth of work Dr. Hayden has undertaken in her role leading the Library of Congress.” The Association of Research Libraries criticized the firing as part of a "troubling pattern of attacks on libraries, science, research, and the pursuit of knowledge." All seven living National Ambassadors for Young People’s Literature, including Kate DiCamillo and Gene Luen Yang, released a public statement in opposition to Hayden’s dismissal, as have three US Poets Laureate. Forty-eight "library, publishing and free expression, and civil society groups," including PEN America, The Authors Guild and Independent Book Publishers Association, joined to condemn "an assault on our freedoms to access and pursue knowledge." Apart from organizations, many individuals also criticized the move. Scholar Alondra Nelson resigned from her positions at the National Science Foundation and Library of Congress, partly in response to Hayden’s dismissal. Celebrated author George Saunders decried the firing in an opinion piece in the New York Times. Barbara Kingsolver criticized "another step in the scary transformation of our country from democracy to thought-policed despotism." Bonnie Garmus, author of Lessons in Chemistry, criticized the firing as an "anti-knowledge, anti-learning, anti-Black woman" action. Louise Penny wrote "This is not a political issue, it's a moral and ethical one that transcends boundaries. If the Democrats had done this I'd be equally appalled and afraid." Julia Quinn, author of the Bridgerton Series, wrote "I am disgusted and outraged by the Trump administration’s callous firing." The Trump Administration also fired Shira Perlmutter, the director of the U.S. Copyright Office, which operates under the aegis of the Librarian of Congress. There has been speculation that this move was related to Perlmutter’s release of a report on copyright and artificial intelligence. The Authors Guild has launched a petition to reinstate Perlmutter, recently delivered to members of Congress. President Trump appointed his former personal lawyer, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, as acting Librarian of Congress, and named two other officials. This move occasioned a standoff with library staff, with deputies Paul Perkins and Brian Nieves being refused access to their offices. In a rare show of bipartisanship, Congressional Democrats and Republicans have criticized the administration’s move, with concerns being raised about what this means for the separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches of government. While by law the President appoints the Librarian of Congress, the library itself is part of the Legislative Branch. Legislators also contest the President's power to appoint an acting director before his choice receives confirmation by the Senate. As of today, the library is under the direction of Carla Hayden’s deputy, Robert Newlen. -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

New InfoFire Episode | Michael Buckland: Reframing Information and Rethinking iSchools
by Shalini Urs 22 May '25

22 May '25

Dear Friends and Colleagues, I’m delighted to share the latest episode of *InfoFire*, featuring a thought-provoking conversation with Professor Michael Buckland from the School of Information, University of California, Berkeley. *Episode Title:* *“Reframing Information: From Information as Thing to Everything as Document to the Identity of iSchools — Conversations with Michael Buckland”* I’m sharing this here because I believe Michael Buckland offers a particularly insightful perspective on the evolution and future directions of the field of Library and Information Science (LIS). *Here is the link: * https://informationmatters.org/2025/05/reframing-information-from-informati… This episode explores Professor Buckland’s personal and intellectual journey, tracing key milestones that shaped his influential thinking. We discuss several of his landmark works, including *Library Services in Theory and Context* (1983), *Information and Information Systems* (1991), *Emanuel Goldberg and the Knowledge Machine* (2006), and *Ideology and Libraries* (2020). We begin with his seminal essay *“Information as Thing”* (1991), which distinguishes information as process, knowledge, and object—challenging the ambiguity of the term. Buckland discusses how his document-centric perspective, shaped by Suzanne Briet and Paul Otlet, broadens the definition of “document” to include everything from museum artifacts to digital files. Most importantly he reverses the gaze from Information-Centric to Document-Centric Thinking. He reimagines information retrieval as delivering a “pincushion” of relevant documents, emphasizing context over precision. We also explore his historical recovery of pioneers like Emanuel Goldberg, whose early work prefigured modern IR systems. A key thread is the evolution of the iSchools movement. From the 1973 Wheeler Report to his role in shaping Berkeley’s program, Buckland sees iSchools as interdisciplinary hubs bridging theory and practice—provided they avoid narrow professional silos. Throughout, Buckland urges methodological openness and sees libraries as ideological agents with power to shape public knowledge. His rich insights offer a compelling framework for uniting libraries, archives, and museums under a dynamic, inclusive vision of information science. I trust you will find as much value in reading/listening to this episode as I did in conducting the conversation and preparing this write-up. Warm regards, Shalini Urs Host, *InfoFire* Associate Editor, *Information Matters*

Evolution of Information Retrieval: A Conversation with Stephen Robertson, Pioneer of the Probabilistic IR Model
by Shalini Urs 02 May '25

02 May '25

Dear friends and colleagues: As LIS professionals, we are familiar with the fact that Information Retrieval (IR) sits at the fascinating intersection of Library Science and Computer Science.I believe our professional colleagues may enjoy reading or listening to the behind-the-scenes stories of collaboration, competition, and occasional clashes among IR’s early trailblazers. Information Retrieval (IR) is a domain where Library Science and Computer Science converge, and in many ways, it lies at the heart of Information Science—which itself serves as a bridge between the two. Interestingly, the roots of IR can be traced back to traditional practices of classification and indexing, as well as the landmark Cranfield IR evaluation experiments. Most LIS professionals are likely familiar with the Cranfield studies, which laid the foundation for empirical evaluation in IR. Advancements in IR are often seen as the outcome of sustained interaction between Library and Information Science (LIS) and Computer Science (CS). I recently had the opportunity to interview Stephen Robertson, one of the pioneers of probabilistic models in IR. Our conversation spanned a range of topics—including the spirited rivalries, competition, and collaboration between British and American IR groups, as well as the disciplinary divides between LIS and CS. In this episode of InfoFire, we delve into: - The story behind probabilistic IR models, - Rivalries and collaborations between British and American IR research groups, - The enduring disciplinary tensions and synergies between LIS and CS. - Personal dynamics, rivalries, and tensions between some of the field’s most influential pioneers. - Where IR meets AI and the future of search Tune in to this episode of *InfoFire*, my fireside chat series, for behind-the-scenes insights, compelling stories, and reflections from one of the field’s most influential voices. Here is the link: https://informationmatters.org/2025/04/ir-meets-ai-looking-back-looking-for… Hope you enjoy reading and listening to this episode of InfoFire! Cheers! Shalini -- Dr. Shalini Urs Executive Director Emerita International School of Information Management University of Mysore Mysuru 570006 India
