Query on MLIS and PhD dissertations and theses sources in India
by Salman Haider 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Dear LIS professionals Apart from "Shodhganga" what are the online available sources for searching MLIS and Ph.D. dissertations and theses did in the library and information science departments of universities in India? In other words, if some LIS professional is doing MLIS or wishes to do Ph. D. which sources are there he/she may consult to see the recent dissertations and thesis done in India? The "Shodhganga" websites says "The UGC Notification (Minimum Standards & Procedure for Award of M.Phil. / Ph.D Degree, Regulation, 2016) dated 5th May 2016 mandates submission of electronic version of theses and dissertations by the researchers in universities with an aim to facilitate open access to Indian theses and dissertations to the academic community worldwide." My questions are following: 1. Is all the MLIS and Ph.D. theses and dissertations submitted by the students to Shodhganga? 2. If they do not submit it to "Shodhganga" then what are the prominent active repositories where students submit their research work? 3. What search methodology a MLIS and Ph.D. students should adopt to view the already done researchers in the LIS field in India?

Digital Preservation Declaration of Shared Values - Joint Statement circulated by CLOCKSS
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

From: Kim Smilay <pub-director(a)clockss.org> Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2017 13:01:30 -0500 Joint Statement The digital preservation landscape is one of a multitude of choices that vary widely in terms of purpose, scale, cost, and complexity. Over the past year a group of collaborating organizations united in the commitment to digital preservation came together to explore how we can better communicate with each other and assist members of the wider community as they negotiate this complicated landscape. As an initial effort, the group drafted a Digital Preservation Declaration of Shared Values that is now being released for community comment. The text of the draft is below, and the live-working copy of the document is available here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cL-g_X42J4p7d8H7O9YiuDD4-KCnRUllTC2syfX…> and open for your comments and suggestions. The comment period will be open until March 1st. In addition, we welcome suggestions from the community for next steps that would be beneficial as we work together. Comments, suggestions and observations may be communicated to the group at comdigpres(a)googlegroups.com. We also welcome volunteer efforts to translate this declaration into additional languages. ****** December 11, 2017 Digital Preservation Declaration of Shared Values Issued by representatives of Academic Preservation Trust (APTrust), Chronopolis, CLOCKSS, Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), Digital Preservation Network (DPN), DuraSpace, Educopia/MetaArchive Cooperative, Stanford University - LOCKSS, Texas Digital Library (TDL), Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL). Digital preservation combines policies, strategies, and actions that ensure access to digital content over time. When successful, digital preservation results in a cumulative record of human action and memory. We are a group of collaborating organizations united in our commitment to preserve the cultural, intellectual, scientific and academic record for current and future generations. We believe that preservation should be sustainable, affordable, practical, and available to all. We provide services for the cultural heritage, research, and academic communities, and all kinds of scholars. The mission of our shared work is rooted in a set of core values. These core values inform and direct our collective work: *Collaboration - We work together and favor open technologies but will collaborate with any organization, including commercial vendors, that share the values set out in this statement. *Affordability - We endeavor to provide affordable services. *Availability - We make available a variety of services for all, regardless of institutional size or technical ability. *Inclusiveness - We strive to promote and adopt inclusive practices in the partnerships we form, the collections we preserve, and the organizations we serve. *Diversity - We develop and deploy a variety of platforms and technologies to create a heterogeneous network that spans diverse geographic, technical, and institutional environments. *Portability/Interoperability - We recognize that digital preservation involves moving data across systems and time. We design and maintain our services to maximize the ease by which we port this data. *Transparency/information sharing - We share information about costs and technologies openly. As part of the cultural mission of digital preservation, we all benefit by learning from others' experiences, good and bad. *Accountability - We are responsible to each other and the broader community for employing ethical and transparent business practices. *Stewardship Continuity - We will collaborate to help identify new locations for at-risk content when one of our organization’s stewardship cannot continue. *Advocacy - We aim to inspire stakeholders at every level to engage, invest in, and sustain preserving our collective cultural heritage and academic record. *Empowerment - We encourage capacity-building in our partners, members, and the larger digital preservation community to sustain our shared goal. Purpose of the Declaration of Shared Values Values and professional ethics are at the core of our work and guide our practices. This declaration accomplishes the following: *Summarizes ethical principles that reflect our core values and establishes a set of specific ethical standards that should be used to guide our efforts. *Helps identify relevant considerations when professional obligations conflict or ethical uncertainties arise. *Provides ethical standards to which our community can hold us accountable. *Socializes practitioners new to the field to our mission, values, ethical principles, and ethical standards. Further, the declaration of shared values does not specify which values, principles, and standards are most important and ought to outweigh others in instances when they conflict. Reasonable differences of opinion can and do exist among our community. We will work together to resolve those conflicts in ways that support and promote our common goal. Our work and thinking will evolve over time. We will strive to include stakeholders from all over the world and we invite those interested to join us in working together to preserve the collective human record. Contact our group at comdigpres(a)googlegroups.com to ask questions and/or participate. --- Craig Van Dyck Executive Director CLOCKSS Archive cvandyck(a)clockss.org +1-973-600-7397 <(973)%20600-7397> mobile orcid.org/0000-0001-6277-6013 www.clockss.org/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
