National Workshop - “Application of Qualitative Indicators for the excellence of scholarly communication”- Annamalai University : 8th and 9th March 2013


Dear LIS Professionals



The Department of Library and Information Science, Annamalai University, Tamilnadu
is going to organize a two days National Workshop (Under UGC SAP)
on
“Application of Qualitative Indicators for the excellence of scholarly
communication”


 Date: 8th and 9th March 2013 (Friday and Saturday)

 The Workshop aims at the evaluation of scholarly research performance, and
focuses on the contribution of scholarly work to the advancement of
scholarly knowledge. It provides a wide range of important facts, and
corrects a number of common misunderstandings about science indicators. It
introduces basic notions and distinctions, and deals both with theoretical
and technical aspects, and with its applicability in various policy
contexts. In order to be used properly as a research evaluation tool, it is
essential that all participants have insight into the nature of citation
analysis, how its indicators are constructed and calculated, what the
various theoretical positions state about what they measure, and what are
their potentialities and limitations, particularly in relation to peer
review. It is hoped that this workshop will provide such insight.

Sub themes of the workshop
  • Impact Factor
  • H-index
  • Success Index
  • G-Index
  • Activity Index
  • Ranking of institutions
  • Ranking of individual scientists by citation factor
  • ICT based evaluation tools, etc.

Who should attend?

This workshop expects wide participation by Faculty, Scientists,
Professionals of Library, Research Scholars and Students.

 Registration fee (includes workshop Kit, resource material, participation
certificate, working lunch and refreshment)

*For Faculty
Librarian & Others                        -Rs. 500/-

*For Research Scholars
(full-time basis) & students             -Rs.300/-
(*should produce evidence from their institution)
Accommodation:

The participants make their own arrangements. However, limited accommodation is available in our University Guest House / Hostel on extra-payment. We would help to the participants arrange accommodation at nominal charges on first-come first-serve by twin sharing basis.

Madras University Library Celebrations draw flak

The library of the University of Madras is now embroiled in yet another controversy with senior professors raising questions about the timing of the post-centenary celebrations slated for September 25.
The fete takes place even as the library has remained headless for about four years with several big ticket projects struggling to take off.
Sources in the university said that the celebrations have been organised 5 years after the library completed its centenary in 2007. About Rs 9 lakh had been sanctioned for the event. However, what has raised eyebrows is the timing, as vice-chancellor G Thiruvasagam’s tenure is set to end in October.
Speaking to Express, a senior professors said the historic library has been in neglect as far as administration is concerned. While the last full-fledged librarian retired in 2008, the post remained vacant ever since. This was despite two rounds of advertisements calling for applications. Also, there was an attempt recently by the administration to promote a deputy librarian to the post of librarian, which was defeated.
Statutes, a Syndicate member pointed out, clearly stated that the post could only be filled by direct recruitment and not through promotion.
A senior Senate member said the digitization of theses that began in 2006 was halted half way for two years and has now been restarted after negotiations with the contractor.
This apart, while an UGC notification in 2009 provided for electronic submission of theses by students through an MoU with the INFLIBNET centre, no efforts have been made to carry forward this project.
“Over 70 Universities have already done it. If MU had gone ahead, assistance would have been provided for installing anti-plagiarism software in the library, improving the overall quality of research scholars,” said a senior Senate member, who wished not to be named. While the V-C had promised the installation of the software last year, efforts on this front had been wanting, the member said.
Another project that has failed to take off is the introduction of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags for efficient cataloguing, now in place in almost all major varsities in the country.
Senior professors said while the focus should have been on recruitment of a qualified librarian and the implementation of all modernization projects, for which Rs 3.20 crore was allocated, the varsity was going ahead in a hurried manner with the celebrations, five years after the library completed its centenary. Vice-chancellor G Thiruvasagam could not be contacted for comments.
