We invite papers, posters and visual presentations, panel and workshop submissions that focus on the conference theme, as well as work that reflects the broader mandate of ASIS&T, regarding the creation, representation, storage, access, dissemination and use of information, media and records, and the systems, tools, and technologies associated with these processes.Â The conference embraces plurality in methods and theories, and encompasses research, development and practice from a broad spectrum of domains, as encapsulated in ASIS&Tâs many special interest groups (SIGs). We are pleased to announce that the ASIS&T 2018 Proceedings will be published by John Wiley & Sons and will be indexed and accessible via multiple international venues.

Consortium for software management in libraries: an Idea !
by vinod mishra 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Dear all, We have or had many consortium in libraries especially for periodicals procurement, but i do not understand why we do not understand the need of consortium for software management in libraries though many big government libraries are using similar software like Libsys, Koha, SOUL, Dspace, eprint, Joomla, ezproxy, etc. Every library have paid for customization and other fee individually. There are some basic features in software which almost all libraries needs and that can be customized by crowdfunding/sharing of cost to get the features. Libraries can get and share the ideas to reduce the staff efforts and enhance user services through these software which is badly needed now a days. Government is also promoting the open source solutions and now a days almost each library is using some OSS in their libraries. Can library leaders think of such consortium where all can share their requirements and new common ideas which can be enhanced in the existing software at low cost? For example as i know many government and private organization have paid huge amount for Koha implementations and customization but that customization code never came to public domain for benefit of others as per ethics of open source solutions. Many libraries have paid money separately for same features in the software without understanding how to get the software customized with minimum payment and maximum benefit to all. *I hope our leaders will think on this !* One of the example of getting crowdfunding for common interest at minimum cost and maximum benefit is available at : http://mishravk.com/2018/02/ crowdfunding/ With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Need a reviewer
by Chief Librarian, SAIACS 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

Dear LIS Colleagues, Greetings, I am looking for a reviewer to read one of my manuscripts (journal article) before it is submitted to one of our peer reviewed journals. Would someone wiling to help in this regard? Few other LIS forums that I am part of it, has some volunteers to come forward to read others manuscripts (esp artcles). It is in fact an encouragement from senior authors/editors to review and give suggestions for improvement. This helps the budding authors to shape their works before it is submitted to journal publications. Look forward to hear from one to volunteer. A diamond can sharpen other diamond.

Fwd: Tweeting and copyright

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Feb 20, 2018 at 8:28 AM Subject: Tweeting and copyright To: LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu From: Ann Okerson <aokerson(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Feb 19, 2018 at 9:31 PM Federal Judge Says Embedding a Tweet Can Be Copyright Infringement "Rejecting years of settled precedent, a federal court in New York has ruled [PDF] that you could infringe copyright simply by embedding a tweet in a web page. Even worse, the logic of the ruling applies to all in-line linking, not just embedding tweets. If adopted by other courts, this legally and technically misguided decision would threaten millions of ordinary Internet users with infringement liability."
