Transforming the Quality of Metadata in Institutional Repositories: The Serials Librarian: Vol 76, No 1-4
by madhan muthu 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

ABSTRACT Established in 2005, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL)’s Libraries’ institutional repository (IR) has approximately 99,500 unique items. It is one of the largest and most-used institutional repositories in the United States. This presentation explores how UNL is working to meet the challenge of consistently and accurately identifying individual researchers and their scholarly *activities*. It examines UNL’s metadata practices for its IR, giving a more detailed explanation of personal names and Open Researcher and Contributor ID identifiers. It reviews some typical metadata problems found in UNL’s IR. Finally, it explores priorities for metadata maintenance and what is sustainable and worthwhile. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0361526X.2019.1540270 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

National Education Policy, 2019 (Draft) and Libraries
by Vasanth 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Sri. N.V. Sathyanarayana sir has brought to the notice of LIS professionals an important issue that the National Education Policy (Draft) 2019 has not been adequately addressed. NEP 2019 should consider 'library' as an important and critical educational infrastructure. The Professional Associations should actively engage in preparing library national document as suggested by N.V. Sathyanarayana sir and submit the same to NEP committee to make necessary changes. The Karnataka State Education Policy (KSEP) 2016 prepared and submitted by Karnataka Knowledge Commission was also not vocal much about libraries except few references here and there to establish libraries in residential schools and universities and provide funds to maintain them. It so happened that both the NEP(Draft) 2019 and KSEP 2016 was prepared under the chairmanship of Dr. Kasturirangan. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.LibrarianMysore

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 195, Issue 36
by Anand Dodamani 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

Dear All, As suggested by Shri. N. V. Satyanarayana Sir, there is an urgent need to initiate a dialogue/ debate with NEP (Draft) Committee Coordinators on the inclusion of 'Libraries" as distinct chapter in the new National Education Policy. It will help us revive the rapidly diminishing image of the libraries and librarians on the academic campuses. The national bodies such as ILA must take a lead on this front.
