Inauguration of Tent Library @ Mysore Dasara 2014
by Sunil MV 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Dear Professional Friends, Greetings from MyLISA Mysore! Like to share the information about the inauguration of '*Tent library*’ today at Mysore Palace Premises (September 1, 2014) by Dr. V. Karikalan IFS, Deputy Conservator of Forest, Government of Karnataka. Sri H.R. Basappa, Deputy Director, Department of Public Institutions, Government of Karnataka; and Sri. Nagaraja S., President, MyLISA Mysore; were the special invitees. The programme was presided by Sri B. Manjunath, Deputy Director, Department of Public Libraries, City Central Library, Government of Karnataka. Dr. N.S. Harinarayana, Secretary, MyLISA Mysore, introduced the concept of Tent Library and presented the various sessions scheduled for 'Library Hour' of the Tent School Time Table. Dr. Mallinath Kumbar, Professor, DoS LIS, University of Mysore and Dr. Chandra Patil, Officer, Sarvar Shikshana Abhiyaan, graced the occasion. For photographs and press clips visit http://mylisamysore.weebly.com/ <http://mylisamysore.weebly.com/> *Background* “*Books for all*” is the dictum propounded by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. He wanted library books for all socioeconomic groups, not just well-educated scholars interested in public domain items. It is the responsibility of the library profession to work towards achieving this goal. MyLISA has put forward its little foot in this direction by mooting the idea of a ‘Tent Library’. Mysore Dasara is the Nadahabba (Karnataka State - Festival). One of the central attractions of the ten-day festivities is the five kilometer Jumboo Savari – the procession by the main elephant accompanied by other elephants carrying the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari, the sitting deity of Mysore. The preparation for the procession is done eight weeks before the actual procession. The elephants are brought from nearby forest and trained for the purpose. The trainers of elephants – the mahouts – come and stay at Mysore along with their families. Mysore district administration provides them all facilities to their families. Temporary school is started for their children at the premises where they reside inside the palace ground. One of the ardent librarians from Mysore observed that these children lack library facility during that period. He mooted an idea with MyLISA to think of library service to reach the unreached. Acting upon the idea, MyLISA was successful in convincing the district administration of Mysore to extend the library services through Department of Public Libraries, City Central Library, Mysore. As a result a ‘Tent Library’ was established in the premises of the palace where the mahouts reside. These library being a part of school, regular library hours will be included in the school time-table. Staffs from the City Central Library and MyLISA members visit the tent library and conduct the sessions to these students on reading skills, use of books, books handling, types of books, newspaper reading, and other study aided activities. Expertise of a few renowned school librarians are used in providing the service. A lot of book based activities have been planned. Drawing, picture books, clay modeling, bookmark preparation, painting, etc., were also the part of the session scheduled. The library will be on open access and children can use the books any time at their will. They can also take home the books on loan basis. With sincere regards, Dr. Sunil M.V. Librarian Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Institute for Management Development (SDMIMD) No. 1, Chamundi Hill Main Road, Siddharthanagar Post, Mysore - 570 011, INDIA Mobile: 998639832 | Telephone: 0821-2429722 Extn: 3006 * Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

ICSU supports OA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 05 Sep '14

ICSU Press Release [from Auckland, New Zealand] PRESS RELEASE – International Council for Science endorses open access to scientific record; cautions against misuse of metrics The General Assembly of the International Council for Science today endorsed open access principles and provided key recommendations guarding against the misuse of metrics in the evaluation of research performance. Auckland, 2 September – In a strong show of support for open access to the scientific record, the Assembly, which unites representatives of 120 national scientific academies and 31 international scientific unions, today voted for the statement which stakes out 5 key goals for open access, and offers 12 recommendations that pave the road for attaining them. "Open Access is a key mechanism to support the development of science and of vital importance to all scientists both young and old," said Prof. John Ball, who led the ICSU working group that developed the statement. "It is a powerful tool for creating and validating knowledge, and for supporting science as a public good, and not as something carried out behind closed doors," he added. The five goals in the statement assert that access to the scientific record should be free of financial barriers for any researcher to contribute to; free of financial barriers for any user to access immediately on publication; made available without restriction on reuse for any purpose, subject to proper attribution; quality-assured and published in a timely manner; and archived and made available in perpetuity. The statement also makes twelve recommendations for achieving these goals, including recommendations on metrics, stating that these, when used as an aid to the evaluation of research and researchers, should help promote open access and open science. It also cautions that metrics should be regarded as an aid, and not a substitute, for good decision-making. They should not normally be used in isolation to assess the performance of researchers, to determine appointments, or to distribute funds to individuals or research groups, for which it says expert review is indispensable. The Council's position takes account of the specific situation related to research data, asserting that publishers should require authors to provide explicit references to the datasets underlying published research. They also should require clear assurances that these datasets are deposited and available in trusted and sustainable digital repositories. Citing datasets in reference lists using an accepted standard format should be considered the norm. The statement also suggests that terms of contracts governing the purchase of scientific periodicals and databases by libraries serving universities and research establishments should be publicly accessible. The full report <http://www.icsu.org/general-assembly/news/ICSU%20Report%20on%20Open%20Acces…> is available for download. ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SCIENCE The International Council for Science (ICSU) is a non-governmental organisation with a global membership of national scientific bodies (121 Members, representing 141 countries) and International Scientific Unions (31 Members). It mobilizes the knowledge and resources of the international scientific community to strengthen international science for the benefit of society. www.icsu.org ABOUT PROF. JOHN BALL Sir John Ball is Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Oxford.
