As the library sleeps
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

https://blogs.loc.gov/preservation/2021/08/as-the-library-sleeps/ How did closure of the Library of Congress in March 2020 (absence of visitors & staff) affect the library? Interesting to read how the dedicated PERT staff attending to this unexpected condition handled the situation. 'they walked miles along the shelves..' 'pinhole leak in copper sprinkler pipe', 'books left on the floor' -- as a librarian we can understand the enormity of the task.

ETD Metadata Lifecycle at Higher Educational Institutes Survey by Dr D P Tripathi
by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

Dear friends After a long time, I am finding a good initiative in the survey that is being conducted by Dr D P Tripathi. (ETD Metadata Lifecycle at Higher Educational Institutes published in Lis Forum Vol 221 Issue 27. https://forms.gle/Qs9fTJUiXqpRMwAq8) We are all running behind the technology, forgetting the basics of Library and Information Science. Obviously we can not forget technology, but metadata is inevitable for proper information retrieval and sharing. I found that people give least importance to metadata and its maintenance. In fact the Institutional Repository of Goa University was built with utmost care, basically in maintaining metadata standards. Dr M Tapaswi former Scientist and Information professional from NIO was the person behind that task. He was monitoring every new uploads and its metadata for its correctness. I wish Dr D P Tripathi all the best for his efforts and recommend professionals to cooperate with the survey.
