Re: [LIS-Forum] Test mail from the moderator

Dear Member, An update on the above mail. The major issue of delayed delivery of approved lis-forum mails seem to have been resolved after upgrading the LIS-Forum discussion list software. However, a few new issues have cropped up after the upgrade! One of them is, LIS-Forum has automatically unsubscribed several hundreds of registrations! Not able to figure out what could have triggering such a behaviour? A plausible cause could be the LIS-Forum's automatic bounce processing policy. Every time a lis-forum mail bounces, bounce score for that particular email id is incremented either by 0.5 or 1 depending on the reason for the bounce. When the bounce score is greater than the bounce score threshold set by the moderator, the subscription is automatically disabled. My guess is that in the older version of software, the automatic subscription disabling feature may not have been working as it should have, resulting in the accumulation of a large number of email IDs, which may have become defunct for various reasons. After the upgrade, the automatic disabling feature of the software may have purged all the defunct email ids resulting in large scale disabling of subscriptions. Every lis-forum registration, which is being automatically disabled/unsubscribed, an auto mail is being sent to that effect, The content of the auto mail is given below for your reference: > You have now been signed-off from the LIS-Forum discussion list. Thank > you for having been a member of this list. You are welcome to re-join > the list anytime by sending an e-mail to > lis-forum-request(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in or by visiting the URL: > http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/mailman/listinfo/lis-forum > - LIS-Forum Administrator To reactivate one's lis-forum subscription, either follow the link contained in the auto mail, or visit the link, http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/mailman/listinfo/lis-forum. Obviously, those members whose lis-forum registrations have been unsubscribed, will not be receiving this mail. So, if you get to know about your friends / colleagues who are not receiving lis-forum mails, please forward this mail to them. Thanks and regards, Francis Moderator, LIS-Forum ------------------------------------------------------ > Francis Jayakanth francis at iisc.ac.in > Fri Jul 27 15:00:50 IST 2018 http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/2018-July/021935.html > Dear Members, As many of you would have observed, of late, LIS-Forum discussion list was behaving bit erratically.

Reg Depreciation value of Libray Books and Journals
by Dattatray Phadke 28 Jul '18

28 Jul '18

Dear LIS Professionald, Such questions have always been raised by bureaucrats or auditors However,if we look at central Finance rules No 99 and 116 ( OM no F23(7).11(A)/83Dt 7.02.1984/18 )books are not treated as Stores Items and If the people asking these questions refer these rule or they are told to refer it then questions of calculating successive asset value of books and journals and the depreciation value of them will not arise . We stock in library knowledge carriers and not the deadstock items. If we are able to calculate current or successive value of information contained in books and journals then certainly we can calculate the same Logically if the information in books and journals is still valuable then perhaps the value would appreciate There could be two possibilities that either it is obsolete or most valuable items . So in conclusion in aggregate it is not possible to calculate total current value of books and journals So the bureaucrats who raise question may elaborate on these facts .

Test mail from the moderator
by Francis Jayakanth 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

Dear Members, As many of you would have observed, of late, LIS-Forum discussion list was behaving bit erratically. One of the main issues was that, the approved messages were taking more than 3-4 days to reach the members' inboxes! I have now installed a latest version of the discussion list software (Mailman) on a different computer system with better hardware configuration. Hopefully, the list should resume its normal functioning. Its quite likely that a few of the approved postings from the old system, which is now off the network, may not have been distributed. If you have made a lis-forum posting during the last week, or so, you are welcome a make a fresh posting once again. Note: LIS-Forum postings should be made only to, lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Best regards, Francis Moderator, LIS-Forum Francis Jayakanth JRD Tata Memorial Library IISc
