Appointment of Director of Inflibnet
by ameet joshi 29 Dec '18

29 Dec '18

Dear Professionals,      I fully agree with Mr.Baiju Joy regarding the Appointment of Director of Inflibnet. In our library and information field majority of professionals are lacking professional as well as general knowledge. To crown this situation, our professionals are very poor in communication skills. So obviously Appointing a non professional as a Director of Inflibnet is not a bad idea.Regards,Ameet Joshi.Library Department.SVKM’s NMIMS (Bengaluru Campus)Phone: +91-80-25126071.   From: <lis-forum-request(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in>Sent: Wed, 26 Dec 2018 17:53:50To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.inSubject: LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 189, Issue 38Send LIS-Forum mailing list submissions to   lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.inTo subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit   http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/mailman/listinfo/lis-forumor, via email, send a message with subject or body 'hel p' to   lis-forum-request(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.inYou can reach the person managing the list at   lis-forum-owner(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.inWhen replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specificthan "Re: Contents of LIS-Forum digest..."Today's Topics:  1.

Aseparate study from AnitaB.org revealed that women leave tech companies twotimes faster than men do. In addition, 56% of the few women who work intech leave by the time they have reached mid-level jobs, resulting in thefact that women are three times less likely to have senior technical rolesthan men.Why do they leave?To find out, Indeed.com conducted a survey that asked 1,000 women intechnology why they had left previous jobs. It also asked them otherquestions about challenges they had experienced in the workplace and issuesthat were important to them. The results revealed nine key elements thatplay a role in women’s decisions to leave IT jobs.Interestingly, those reasons for leaving may not be the ones you expect.Slide Show<https://www.informationweek.com/strategic-cio/team-building-and-sta… ing/9-reasons-why-women-leave-tech-jobs/d/d-id/1333335>*Something for everyone: the best of Curious Kids in 2018*In the column “Curious Kids”  the editors  consult  academic experts toanswer real questions from real kids.  The questions are brilliant, ofcourse, but editors also love how determined the academic authors are tocraft replies that are informative and engaging, but not condescending.Listed below are some highlights from the column “Curious Kids” this year,sorted into some broad categories.

Librarian as a Teacher in the e-Learning Ecosystem
by Sathyanarayana NV 26 Dec '18

26 Dec '18

Library-in-the-Classroom and Classroom-in-the-Library are concepts evolving in practice too in libraries around the world. There is an intrinsic synergy between the classroom and the library as both are the places for learning. Classroom is the place for teacher assisted learning and library facilitates self-learning. E-Learning offers the advantage of both self-learning and teacher-assisted-learning. This synergy, we can imagine, is likely to lead to convergence of the library and the classroom in the emerging digital world where learning will be extensively driven by e-Learning models. The natural advantage of this convergence is an imperative recognition of Librarianship in a teaching role. Hence, e-Learning, which is lot more than providing access to e-Content, demands keener attention by Librarians. Library Technology Conclave (LTC2019) is the first ever conference focusing on the subject of e-Learning as an extended functional role opportunity for libraries. This 3-day Conclave, conceived by Informatics India Ltd, is hosted by Cochin University of Science & Technology, Cochin, 23-25 January 2019. The 90-minute Roundtable on e-Learning at the Conclave will debate on the issues of synergy between and possible convergence of classroom and library. The Conclave will be anchored by Ms. Natasha Jog, former NDTV reporter and anchor who has anchored a program on e-Learning on NDTV.

When astronaut William Anders photographed a fragile blue sphere set in dark space peeking over the Moon, it changed our perception of our place in space and fuelled environmental awareness around the world. The photo let us see our planet from a great distance for the first time. The living Earth, surrounded by the darkness of space, appears fragile and vulnerable, with finite resources.

The move came in response to increasing concern of a loneliness epidemic sweeping Western society. Psychologists define loneliness as a subjective, unpleasant experience that occurs when the desired level of meaningful social contact is less than what is available. The prevalence of loneliness is increasing and the association between loneliness and ill health is now clear. In the US, loneliness affects one-fifth of the population. In the UK, it is experienced by more than a third of those over the age of 50.

A report from The Center for Talent Innovation found that 52% of highly qualified women quit their jobs in science, engineering and technology. A separate study from AnitaB.org revealed that women leave tech companies two times faster than men do. In addition, 56% of the few women who work in tech leave by the time they have reached mid-level jobs, resulting in the fact that women are three times less likely to have senior technical roles than men. Why do they leave? To find out, Indeed.com conducted a survey that asked 1,000 women in technology why they had left previous jobs. It also asked them other questions about challenges they had experienced in the workplace and issues that were important to them. The results revealed nine key elements that play a role in women’s decisions to leave IT jobs. Interestingly, those reasons for leaving may not be the ones you expect.

It brings together researchers and participants who come from very different contexts, who have very different life experiences, very different knowledges, who face very different life challenges, and together they explore technologies that are rapidly evolving and are profoundly affecting social, political and economic relationships. ICTD/ICT4D researchers, individually and collectively, place themselves in positions where their actions can have intended and unintended consequences and therefore they carry responsibility. Most ICTD/ICT4D researchers seek to behave ethically, but the complex interdisciplinary nature of the field, and its distinctive characteristics, including the emergent nature of technology, make it difficult for both new and experienced researchers to identify and reason about the ethical issues that surround their work. Individual researchers will refer to ethical guidance and debates within their own discipline.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 189, Issue 34
by Anand Dodamani 24 Dec '18

24 Dec '18

Dear Dr. D. V. Singh Sir, I totally agree with your views. There must be some logic behind every action. Be it an appointment or promotion or any other thing. There are many instances in our field where the institutes/ universities have violated the norms set for the purpose. There is no transparency in recruitments. We all raise our voice (on online forums only) against such practices when they happen and forget about them after few days. I understand that it is not possible for any one individual to continue the fight against injustice for longer period of time considering his own personal and workplace commitments. But, the professional bodies such as ILA can do it. The representatives of these bodies have volunteered themselves (while contesting elections) to work for the betterment of the profession. But, I have not seen or heard any postings/ communications from any ILA representative on this or any other subject concerning the profession. The DISCUSSIONS are good but, ONLY DISCUSSIONS are not good. Can we expect any course of action from any professional body on this front? Can these professional bodies also work for the things other than conducting conferences and seminars? The appointment of an expert from some other field to one of the top posts in LIS is not the matter of concern; the matter of concern is the diminishing image of the librarians in the society. We need to change this trend.

INFLIBNET appontment
by Kailash Garg 22 Dec '18

22 Dec '18

Dear Sir, Few professionals have raised the issue of appointment of a non professional person as Director of INFLIBNET. Recently Dr. Sharmila Ghosh has written that Berkeley Labs are appointing students from social sciences for their research work I want to give an example from India. Professor Vishwatathan of IISc was appointed Director of INSDOC (now NISCAIR). I understand he was also a non professional like the present director of INFLIBNET. I don't understand why this hue and cry. Judge the individual by his works he does as director.

Dear professional friends, It is too dangerous for our library community. This is not only one community's, even RBI also appointed non economist as a chief of RBI. Think if it is continues all sector's, how we will contribute to our society? Hope this type of appointment will stop in the future.

e-library of rare books launched in Pune

Inspiring one ... http://borilib.com e-library of rare books launched in Pune - The Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute The Hindu National The Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute. Shoumojit Banerjee Pune 19 December 2018 21:26 IST Updated: 19 December 2018 22:36 IST BORI houses one of South Asia’s largest collection of rare manuscripts The Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (BORI), which houses one of South Asia’s largest and most invaluable agglomeration of rare manuscripts, opened its treasure vault digitally by launching an e-library of ancient religious and historical works on Wednesday. Nearly 1,000 rare books and manuscripts in Sanskrit and its related languages are presently available for readers worldwide to savour in this first phase of digitisation. The institute, named after legendary Indologist Ramkrishna Gopal Bhandarkar, was set up in 1917 and has in its possession nearly two-and-a-half-lakh rare books and manuscripts, some of them in an extremely brittle state. “The rationale behind the e-library is to preserve at least some of these books. Hence, we chose to digitise 20,000 among the rarest-of-the rare books and four to five thousand will be available for readers to read them online for free,” said noted Indologist Prof. Shrikant Bahulkar. Three fully-automated Zeutschel high-resolution German scanners were specially procured by the institute at a cost of ₹15 lakh each. “ We began with screening the two lakh-plus manuscripts to zero down on the ones we would digitise,” said Mithilesh Kulkarni of Nyansa, a firm specialising in heritage digitisation. Chinmay Bhandari of Nyansa said that the entire process was one of ‘non-destructive’ digitising, which ensured that even books in decrepit condition were preserved while scanning. “For the past two years, our 15-member team was working in three shifts every day and we digitised more than 3 lakh pages each month,” Mr. Bhandari said. Among the BORI’s notable publications are a 19-volume edition of The Mahabharata, collated with copious critical material, and legendary Sanskrit scholar P.V. Kane’s five-volume History of Dharmashastra (1930). “The work on the Mahabharata, universally acknowledged by scholars and researchers the world, is still on with the Cultural Index to the Mahabharata still being prepared under the guidance of scholar Dr. Ganesh Umakant Thite,” said Prof. Bahulkar. ————- Regards, Vasu Vasu M Deshpande, Easylib +91 97422 04624 www.finvensys.com www.easylibsoft.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Among these gadgets, a select few can be called great. IEEE Spectrum’s editors have chosen to enshrine 25 of them into the inaugural class of inductees to Spectrum’s own Consumer Electronics Hall of Fame. Some of these products launched a whole new category; others dazzled with their engineering; still others fundamentally changed the way we worked or played. Or they simply made it hard for us to remember what life was like without them. A couple of them—the smartphone, the personal computer—did all of the above. What they have in common is that they emerged from a moment of communal genius among industrial designers, product visionaries, and electrical and electronics engineers—including some IEEE members.

He is the author of “The Art of Computer Programming,” a continuing four-volume opus that is his life’s work. The first volume debuted in 1968, and the collected volumes (sold as a boxed set for about $250) were included by American Scientist in 2013 on its list of books that shaped the last century of science — alongside a special edition of “The Autobiography of Charles Darwin,” Tom Wolfe’s “The Right Stuff,” Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” and monographs by Albert Einstein, John von Neumann and Richard Feynman. With more than one million copies in print, “The Art of Computer Programming” is the Bible of its field. “Like an actual bible, it is long and comprehensive; no other book is as comprehensive,” said Peter Norvig, a director of research at Google. After 652 pages, volume one closes with a blurb on the back cover from Bill Gates: “You should definitely send me a résumé if you can read the whole thing.” Full Article <https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/17/science/donald-knuth-computers-algorithm…> *Nature is a rich source of medicine – if we can protect it* The Pacific yew tree is a fairly small and slow growing conifer native to the Pacific Northwest.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Appointment of INFLIBNET Director: reg
by Anand Dodamani 20 Dec '18

20 Dec '18

Dear Colleagues, Shocked to see the reactions of some of my professional colleagues to the news of the appointment of New Director to the INFLIBNET. What is wrong in it? We all kept quite when many of the IITs/ NITs/ Central and State Universities in the country appointed Professors from other departments as the In-Charge/ HODs of the their libraries ; we maintained our silence when the institutes of eminanance in the country have reduced the Grade/ Academic Level of the librarians; we did nothing when many great institutions in the country have pushed the librarians from Academic to Administrative category. So, why there is an opposition now? Please think about our own inactions in the past. The Professional Associations both at the State and the National level have lost their voice and importance. We preach many things but, in practice we do nothing. Please correct me, if I am wrong. Regards, Anand Dodamani Mumbai.

Dear Anand, You have absolutely nailed on the head, about what we preach and practice. We need to rectify all such anomalies by representing through AIFUCTO and various other (such) organizations. Otherwise, in the next pay revision (if any) we will definitely be placed in the non-teaching cadre by manipulating/altering entry level qualifications as it happened in the case of NITs and the like. -- Thanking You, Dr.M.Kannan,M.L.I.Sc.,PhD., & UGC-NET Librarian, V.O.Chidambaram College, Palaymkottai Road, Tuticorin - 628 008.

We will not be able to make them understand about the requirement of Library Information Science Professionals in Managing any Library Network.

Objectives of the Program: -The ways of producing good research and writing eminent papers with scientific reporting -Gain exposure to creating new approaches and solve research problems -The content of a good research, good review and revision The program will address the following questions. • How to produce quality research publication? • How to reflect the research carried out through the publication? • What are the measures for research impact? • What is the best way to disseminate research? • How to structure the research publication? • How to assess the reviewed publication? • What is indexed research? • How to integrate the research in the process of global review and indexing? • How to increase the research publication quality and record high research productivity? • How to improve English language presentation and proofread the language without language experts? • How to find collaborators and form the collaborative network in research The program will discuss the ways to optimize the research publication activities and the structure of research publications, review and indexing process, methods of generating good publications, demonstration of global indexing databases, research networks and other citation and evaluation metrics. Who can participate? Researchers, academicians & scientists, librarians and administrators from Colleges, Universities, Research Laboratories and Scientific Agencies.

CB Insights looks at the top tech trends poised to reshape industries in 2019 in its 57 pages report. . Report <https://hs-763793.t.hubspotemail.net/e2t/c/*W56tXpd2MP34cW7bTB1z5t2gwB0/*W4…> *Global priorities research* Governments, foundations and individuals spend large amounts of money on efforts to improve the world. However, there is currently little research to guide them on what priorities they should focus on at the highest level. Global priorities research applies techniques from economics, maths, and social science to help organisations choose which global problems they should spend their limited resources on, in order to improve the world as much as possible. Full Post <https://80000hours.org/problem-profiles/global-priorities-research/> *Ministry Of Home Affairs Issues Handbook For Students/Adolescents On Cyber Safety* Recently, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India, in consultation with Cyber Security experts prepared a 38 pages Handbook for Students/Adolescents on Cyber Safety. The Handbook aims at creating awareness among citizens, especially students, about various cyber threats that can impact them and ways to safeguard themselves against cybercrimes. Handbook <http://www.legaleraonline.com/Ministry-of-Home-Affairs-issues-Handbook-for-…> *10 Principles Of Organizational Culture* How often have you heard somebody — a new CEO, a journalist, a management consultant, a leadership guru, a fellow employee — talk about the urgent need to change the culture? They want to make it world-class. To dispense with all the nonsense and negativity that annoys employees and stops good intentions from growing into progress. To bring about an entirely different approach, starting immediately. These culture critiques are as common as complaints about the weather — and about as effective. How frequently have you seen high-minded aspirations to “change the culture” actually manage to modify the way that people behave and the way in which they work? And how often have you seen noticeable long-term improvements?

Has the experiment worked? Full Post <https://www.strategy-business.com/article/What-Happened-after-India-Elimina…> *YouTube, persuasion and genetically engineered children* On Sunday, Nov. 25, the scientist He Jiankui claimed the birth of the world’s first genetically engineered children: twins, created by IVF, their DNA altered at fertilization. Changes like these, because they’re inheritable – “editing the germline” – are widely prohibited by law and avoided by scientific consensus. If He really did this, it’s a very big step across a very bright line. Also, He announced the feat in a YouTube video. The strangeness of this choice cannot be overstated. Groundbreaking achievements normally appear in prestigious journals, with extensive data, after rigorous peer review. Announcing the accomplishment on YouTube is the social media equivalent of walking out the front door and yelling, “Guess what, everybody? I’m the first to engineer a human being! And the kids are already here – they’re twins!” The timing of the video’s release – on the eve of a major international conference on genome editing, where He was scheduled to speak – clearly had more to do with publicity than science.

It has recently been accused of perpetuating fake news, funding child abuse and interfering with democracy. Facebook, which makes most of its $US40 billion a year revenue from digital advertising, has been in the firing line, but many other businesses across the digital advertising supply chain are now feeling the pinch. It is not surprising then, that the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has taken steps to toughen up regulation, or that new government legislation is being considered. Full Post <https://theconversation.com/tech-giants-need-to-take-more-responsibility-fo…> *Teaching For Intelligence: Recognizing and encouraging skillful thinking and behaviour* The claim is often made (in this issue as well as elsewhere) that schools give a disproportionate emphasis to logical/mathematical and verbal material and intelligence. My sense is that this is only superficially true. The content may have this character, and lip service may be given to these forms of intelligence, but the actual educational process remains focused on low level skills. The real development of thinking skills, even within these areas of intelligence, is usually as neglected as the rest of our mental capacities. If this changes soon, Professor Costa will be one of the reasons. His recent book, Developing Minds; A Resource Book For Teaching Thinking, provides a comprehensive overview of the growing Thinking Skills Movement, and he has also recently been elected president of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development. He is currently Professor of Education at California State University, Sacramento. This article aims at clarifying and expanding our sense of what intelligent behavior is and how we can encourage it.

It was good advice when Benjamin Franklin said it, and it's good advice now, no matter your age. But your 20s are a particularly crucial time in life.

An article on Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR)
by Salman Haider 09 Dec '18

09 Dec '18

Librarians still love AACR. Here is a description of a new article published on AACR. *Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR) <https://www.librarianshipstudies.com/2018/12/anglo-american-cataloguing-rul…>* Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR) is the essential international cataloguing code used for descriptive cataloging of various types of information resources by libraries in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and Australia as well as in many other countries. It was first developed in 1967 and updated regularly until 2005. The revisions and updates of the standard are referred to as AACR2. The second edition of Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2) is the most widely used cataloging code, designed for use in the construction of catalogs and other lists in general libraries of all sizes. AACR2 comprise a detailed set of rules and guidelines for producing metadata in a surrogate record to represent a library resource. The rules cover the standard description of areas like, the title, publisher, edition, series, etc., as well as the provision of choice and form of access points (headings) for all materials which a library may hold or to which it may have access, including books, serials, cartographic materials, electronic resources, etc. AACR also provides rules for the formulation of standard forms of names and titles to provide access to and grouping of those descriptions. AACR2 standardized cataloging and ensured consistency within the catalog and between the catalogs of libraries using the same code in describing the physical attributes of library materials identically. AACR marked a shift from the previous cataloging rules, which were criticized for being too detailed, complex, and mere compilations of rules to handle specific bibliographic cases. Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules are considered as the most important advances in English-language codes for descriptive cataloging during the twentieth century. *Contents* 1. Background 2.
