Your Vote Counts !
by Anand Dodamani 08 Feb '19

08 Feb '19

Dear Professionals, The ILA Election - 2019 has arrived. The ballot papers are being dispatched to the valid and eligible members by officials of the ILA. Now, its time to make a choice. The librarians are known as change agents in their organisations and society. They are actively involved in creating awareness about all those things that have potential to inspire the people leading to some positive change in the society. The 'Election' is one such event that provides an opportunity for every individual voter to have his voice heard and bring change in the society. Every ballot matters since it has the potential to chose the 'right' candidates and reject the 'unsuitable' ones. I am writing this note to request all the valid members of the ILA to cast their vote and also encourage their professional friends to do so. *Think, understand and then VOTE.* Regards, Anand Dodamani TISS, Mumbai -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Can any metrics measure the "Intellectual Output" of an author?
by Supriya Bag 08 Feb '19

08 Feb '19

*Dear All,* Elsevier introduces a new metric called "h5 Index". Almost every year the publishing industry introduces new metrics. Maybe for business profit or really they worry about research output. Can any metrics measure the *"Intellectual Output"* of an author? I am not sure about it. Dear All, what is your opinion about metrics? *-----------------------------------------------------------------* *Please **Think before you Print. Save Papers, Save Trees.* *-----------------------------------------------------------------* *Thank You* *Supriya Bag* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
