PIDapalooza - the festival of persistent identifiers!
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Scientists and scholars, whom the LIS community serves, will benefit immensely if all researchers and institutions have unique identifiers (such as ORCID iD for individuals and doi for documents). As a scientometricist, I have faced the problem of disambiguation of names of authors and institutions for more than three decades.. A meeting on this subject is scheduled to take place in Catalonia (Spain) in January next year. Here is a message from Ms Alice Meadows. Regards. Arun From: "Meadows, Alice" <a.meadows(a)orcid.org> Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 11:59:12 -0400 I'm delighted to announce the second PIDapalooza - the open festival for scholarly research persistent identifiers (PIDs), organized by California Digital Library, Crossref, DataCite, and ORCID - which will take place in Girona, Spain on January 23-24, 2018. The program will include a mixture of PID demos, workshops, brainstorming, updates on the state of the art, and more -- and we invite your contributions. The program committee will review all suggestions received by September 18 and we’ll let you know whether you’ve been successful by the first week of October. What is PIDapalooza? It is a place to come share your ideas with a crowd of like-minded persistent identifier innovators, and help us spread the word about PIDs in your community! It will be a very laid-back and welcoming atmosphere with energetic and exciting rapid fire sessions with both a sociable and serious tone. PIDapalooza 2018 will be just like the first one in Reykjavik, but even better! Where: Auditori Palau de Congressos de Girona, Passeig de la Devesa, 35, Girona, Catalonia, Spain When: 23rd and 24th January 2018 Short form to submit session(s). Deadline: September 18 We’ll be posting more information about the festival lineup on the PIDapalooza website and on Twitter (@PIDapalooza) in the coming weeks. We hope to see you in January!

PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System)
by Salman Haider 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

PRECIS (PRESERVED CONTEXT INDEX SYSTEM) <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/08/precis-preserved-context-…> - PRECIS is an acronym for PREserved Context Index System or PREserved Context Indexing System. PRECIS is a computer assisted pre-coordinate subject indexing system developed by Derek Austin in 1968 as a result of long research which the Classification Research Group (CRG) undertook to give a new general classification for information control. In 1969 British librarians Derek Austin and Peter Butcher issued PRECIS: A rotated subject index system, published by the Council of the British National Bibliography. This appears to be the first published report on an innovative method for adding subject data in the form of descriptors to the computerized MARC record. This system is considered as the most important development in alphabetical approach to subject specification in recent years. The system aims at providing an alphabetical subject index which is able to cater to the variant approaches of the users along with their context. In order to achieve this objective, the system arranges the components of a document, into a significant sequence, thus, all the important components in the string are used as approach points. Simultaneously, the terms are displayed in such a fashion that every term is related to the next term in a context dependent way. Moreover, the system is amenable to computer operation, which further adds to the advantage of the system as the entries will be prepared and arranged automatically by the computer. *Contents* - PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System) - Essential Features of PRECIS - Concept of PRECIS - PRECIS Indexing Procedure - Primary Operators - Secondary Operators - Primary Codes - Format of Entry - Filing Order - Conclusion READ MORE: PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System) <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/08/precis-preserved-context-…> ALSO SHARED IN: Library and Information Science Articles and News in 2017 <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/04/library-and-information-s…> Salman Haider Librarian Cataloger Blogger -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

'Revisiting Ranganathan: International conference on Knowledge Orga nization , Library and Information Management
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: "K.S. Raghavan" <ksragav(a)hotmail.com> Date: Sun, August 13, 2017 11:07 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is indeed very good to see that so many organizations, schools of LIS, libraries of all kinds are observing Librarians Day by arranging lectures / workshops, debates, seminars, etc. While Dr. Ranganathan, during his life time, did not approve of any celebrations on his birthday, ordinary mortals that we are, we need something to ring the bill and wake us up to rededicate ourselves to the cause of the profession. It is no exaggeration to say that the status the profession is enjoying in India today is largely because of what Ranganathan and some other stalwarts in the profession did. Let us pledge today to carry forward the movement initiated by Ranganathan. This year happens to be the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. S. R. Ranganathan. We at the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science in association with the Ranganathan Centre for Information Studies, the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (Chennai), M/s Informatics (India) and the Indian Public Library Movement (IPLM of NASSCOM Foundation) have organized Revisiting Ranganathan: International conference on Knowledge Organization, Library and Information Management to be held at IIT Madras from 23rd to 25th October 2017. The conference is supported by DELNET, ISKO (India and Singapore Chapters), Society for Information Science (Bangalore), KALA and other organizations. An important feature of the conference is that IKO 2017, an annual event organized by the ISKO (Singapore Chapter) will be held as a pre-conference workshop on 23rd October and those who register for the conference will also be able to attend IKO 2017. On behalf of the organizers I invite LIS professionals to register for the conference and participate in its deliberations. We have some eminent speakers from Europe, North America, Singapore, Japan, besides speakers from India. For more information, please visit the conference website (www.srr125.org<http://www.srr125.org>) K. S. Raghavan Member-Secretary, Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science Secretary, Ranganathan Centre for Information Studies
