Dear All Major function of any automated system is to get the output from the system as per routine and specific requirements, almost all libraries are facing reporting problems especially in propriety ILMS. Koha is one of the most suitable open source solution which provide much flexibility while working with modules. Report module of Koha is one of the best and most flexible module which provide opportunity to design your own specific report as per requirements. I have attempted to develop such reports as per my personal and working experience in libraries and sharing with the community for benefit of all. Kindly share your reports of Koha if develop by you or your Koha vendor because you have already paid for it and open source ethics says for the same.

Eminent Speakers Confirmed for ICFL 2017, Nov-15-17 at Indian Statistical Institute , Bangalore
by krish＠isibang.ac.in 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Dear Professional Friends, Thank you very much for your overwhelming response and happy to announce that eminent speakers are confirmed to participate in the forthcoming ICFL 2017 to be held at DRTC, Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore in association with The College of Communication and Information, Florida State University, Florida USA & Library and Information Science Society for Asia and the Pacific (LISSASPAC) from 15-17 November 2017 Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), a unique institution devoted to the research, teaching and application of statistics, natural sciences and social sciences. Founded by Professor P.C. Mahalanobis in Kolkata on 17th December, 1931, the institute gained the status of an Institution of National Importance by an act of the Indian Parliament in 1959. Documentation Research and Training Centre (DRTC) was established in January 1962 as a division of the Indian Statistical Institute. It developed as a result of social forces. Soon after independence, the Government of India created the Indian Standards Institution in 1947. In the same year, its Documentation (Sectional) Committee was formed with Prof.S R Ranganathan as chairman. A proposal was made to Union Ministry of Education for the establishment of a National Documentation Centre. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE Information pervades our lives. Whether executing simple acts or making complex decisions, we depend on information to perform effectively. For better or worse, libraries are part of the fabric of society. They cannot survive and thrive as alien bodies or, to use the language of systems theory, as closed systems with impermeable boundaries. The mission and vision of academic libraries is to support research, education, and scholarship. Historically, libraries have supported this mission by organizing and providing access to information, special collections, and creating physical spaces for collaboration and scholarship. While the broad mission of academic libraries is largely unchanged, transformations in technology, media, and culture are driving fundamental changes in the production and consumption of information and the practice of scholarship. As a result, academic libraries are rethinking their strategies and services to meet the challenges of the digital world and the demands of the born digital generation. Libraries, in particular, are confronting these challenges as the nature of scientific practice is being dramatically transformed by information technologies. OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE The major objectives of this conference are: To bring together library professionals and researchers from India and abroad to exchange their innovative ideas, new initiatives, experiences, research work, best practices etc. To share and discuss different set of library services offered to support the academic and research work at the parent institutions. To learn innovative management strategies, tools & technologies used to create and deliver research support services. To discuss current issues, recent developments and their impact, and future challenges to prepare science and technology libraries for the future. CALL FOR PAPERS General areas of interests include, but are not limited to, the following topics: Knowledge Management/ Information Management Metadata to Data Semantic Web and linked data Open Access and Open Science Ontology and Knowledge Organization Application of Digital Libraries Sub themes: Digitization of Science and its impact on libraries Digital Preservation/ Access Management Big data and Library Web based library Services Application of Social Media ( Research Gate, ORI ID etc) TARGET AUDIENCE Library Professional from Science & Technology Institutions, Research Organizations and Industries. Publishers, Information intermediates and vendors. Information technology managers, educationalists, policy makers and other interested in the theme of the conference.

Query on Urkund software
by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

Based on the query from Dr. Subhash Khode regarding Urkund software the following is suggested.1. In the report window of Urkund, on the top right hand side the links to sources will be listed. If the article you submitted is available in Urkund archive it will be shown first with maximum similarity. Exclude this link from similarity by removing the tick mark against it.2. To avoid this situation in future go to settings and  uncheck the option "Include URKUND's archive", so that in the next analysis Urkund archive will not be checked for similarity.Hope this will help you.Dr GOPAKUMAR V.University Librarian,Goa UniversityTaleigao Plateau,Goa.
