Ushering in Digitalization to Share Knowledge and Extend Resources
New Delhi, Delhi, India (Elsevier Science and Technology (Business Wire India))
The 3rd University Forum organized by INFLIBNET and Elsevier was held at the Taj Mahal Hotel, New Delhi on 13th July 2012. Delegates from different universities across the nation participated in the forum.
In his welcome address, Prof. Ajit Khembhavi, Director, IUCCA, said that the forum had become a prominent platform to discuss knowledge sharing among students, teachers, researchers and universities. He remarked that the forum which was growing in size had been instrumental in heralding the relevance of digitalization of libraries to facilitate easier access to knowledge. He added that several cycles of development providing mechanism for e-access had transformed the tedious and lengthy process of finding sources for knowledge acquisition into an easy one minute operation enabling the students and teachers in even remote areas to get access to books and journals otherwise not easily available. Prof. Khembhavi pointed out that e-access was a huge success because it had extended resources to scholars in far flung places. He reminded the forum the existing challenge was to focusing on how to extend available resources to newly emerging sectors.
Addressing the forum, Mr. Martin O’ Malley, Managing Director, Global Sales & Customer Marketing, Elsevier Science & Technology Division, reiterated that Elsevier, as a leading publisher, was focusing on quality, access and sustainability to enable collaboration to build a an environment conducive to research and learning. He said that access should transcend boundaries so as to help researchers overcome the challenge of accessing research content.
Dr. Jagdish Arora, Director, INFLIBNET, spoke on the need of developing digitalized models sustainable and extendable to all the universities in India so that students of all regions might get equal opportunities of knowledge acquisition. He said the impending challenge was to improve the Science Direct access to make it beneficial to more universities.
Ms. Paula Kaufman, Dean of Libraries & University Librarian, University of Illinois, Urbana–Champaign spoke on the Value of eBooks. She said that eBooks are cost effective, have 24 X 7 easy access, are easy to preserve and can be downloaded on multiple search engines.
Giving a presentation on Driving the Value of Library Services within an Institution, Mr. Gerald J. Schafer, Director of Libraries, University of Massachusetts – Amherst, highlighted the patterns of accessing digital resources among students, teachers and researchers. He shared his observation that the majority of people accessed digital books and journals without visiting the library.
In his presentation, Library Contributions to Research Workflow, Dr. Thomas C. Leonard, University Librarian, Library Development Office, University of California, Berkeley, drove home the point that capture and preservation of web resources would increase and create a new dimension to special collection which would in turn aid research.
There was an Open House Discussion in which Dr. Jagdish Arora, Mr. Martin O’ Malley, Mr. Kok Keng Lim (Managing Director, Academic & Government, Asia Pacific, Elsevier Science & Technology Division) and Mr. Saurabh Sharma (Elsevier Regional Director, South Asia) replied to the questions raised by the delegates.
The delegates opined that the forum was a great learning experience for them in terms of adding to their knowledge of accessing the digital content.

BJP leader Mr S S Ahluwalia to head panel on Parliament Library
S S Ahluwalia appointed head of one-man committee
In a surprise development, Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar has appointed BJP leader and former MP S S Ahluwalia the head of a committee on digitisation of the Parliament library.
This is perhaps the first time that a BJP leader has been appointed to head a committee, other than the Parliament committees, at least in the current Lok Sabha. Confirming his appointment as the one-man committee “to suggest ways to digitisation of the Parliament library,” Ahluwalia told Deccan Herald that he was appointed by the Speaker, mainly because he has been the vice-president of the International Parliamentary Association of Information Technology (IPAIT) since 2002. The IPAIT is a worldwide inter-parliamentary institution aiming to promote multilateral cooperation in the field of Information and Communication technologies.
Ahluwalia said he was assigned to prepare a report on digitisation of the library and submit it to the Speaker. “ I have been involved in similar projects in IPAIT and probably that was why I was appointed,” said the MP, who lost the last Rajya Sabha election from Jharkhand.
“My appointment is on the lines of the head of the Bureau of Parliamentary Studies and Training and there is no time-frame to submit the report,” Ahluwalia said. While former Congress MP Rashid Alvi is the present chairman of the BPST, Renuka Choudhary and Margaret Alva were his predecessors. It was alleged that the appointments were made to help them retain the official bungalows which they are entitled as the head of BPST.
Ahluwalia, however, dismissed suggestions that the Congress was trying to lure him into the party with this post. “I completely deny this. This post has nothing to do with politics. As for bungalows and other perks, I don’t want to comment on small things. For me, the point is how well you are going to deliver the task on hand.”
The Lok Sabha has this to say about the library: “Parliament Library is the largest library in Delhi and second largest library in India after the National Library. The bibliographic details about the publications received after 1992 are available for online search. The library functions such as acquisition, processing and issue and return of books have been computerised. On-line access of library catalogue provides information about the author, title, subject and keywords-based searches.”

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ACADEMIC LIBRARIES
FEBRUARY 12-15, 2013
Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University
Sector 16 C — Dwarka
New Delhi 11 00 75, INDIA
Conference Theme:
ACADEMIC LIBRARY SERVICES THROUGH CLOUD COMPUTING
CLOUD COMPUTING
Clouds are defined as a large pool of easily usable virtualized computing resources (such as hardware, development platforms and/or services) on the Internet. Cloud computing is about a new model for delivering, sharing, and sourcing computing resources on global network, offering opportunities for centralization of information and computing resources in data centers. Cloud computing is visualized as the next stage of evolution of the Internet. Cloud computing comes in several different models - software, platform, and infrastructure as a service. Libraries can benefit from cloud computing by opting to sign up IT resources hosted on the Internet instead of owning them locally. Cloud computing solutions could be beneficial to libraries in three basic areas: technology, data and user community. Cloud OPAC and cloud ILS illustrate innovative uses of cloud computing. OCLC has joined vendors offering cloud-based ILS tools that complement their existing cataloging tools (e.g. WorldCat and FirstSearch).
Conference Background:
ICAL-2009, which was held in Delhi University, India, identified Globalizing Academic Libraries as the Academic Library Vision - 2020 for repositioning libraries into next generation libraries. In its outcome, ICAL 2009 outlined a roadmap for change management and identified strategic areas for the purpose. These include (i) moving libraries to the Web to encourage library collaboration (ii) sourcing ICT applications and services on the Internet as a service if it is not feasible for libraries to own them (iii) policies, programmes, and systems for ICT integration at library level and consortium level (iv) new and qualitative dimensions to academic library services (v) strategic and academic roles for libraries and librarians that add value to academic enterprise (vi) new digital resources that libraries should undertake to emerge as knowledge centres (vii) standards for qualitative performance in library services (viii) international collaboration on all library fronts (ix) talent development in priority areas of interest to libraries and (x) change management strategies. The ICAL-2013 plans to explore cloud computing technology for this purpose.
Scope of the Conference:
Inspired by the latest advances in virtualized computing resources on the global network, the2nd International Conference on Academic Libraries, (ICAL-2013) seeks to explore how cloud computing could be applied for library applications, in particular for moving libraries to the Web. In addition, it seeks to understand how Web based computing resources could be harnessed to achieve the ICAL 2009 vision of 'globalizing libraries'. Being a new and emerging area, Cloud computing has generated much interest in library applications.Predictions are that within five years, all library collections, systems, and services will be driven into the cloud. Individual and standalone library systems such as Library Management Systems, Electronic Resource Management Systems may eventually be replaced by Cloud LMS, Cloud OPAC, Cloud ERMS, etc., thereby opening up fresh opportunities to libraries for ushering more meaningful opportunities for collaboration on the Cloud. The Conference will focus on innovative uses of cloud computing for strengthening library services with the ultimate objective of repositioning academic libraries into next generation libraries. The Conference will also focus on harnessing cloud computing for formulating action plan to give effect to ICAL-2009 roadmap on globalizing academic libraries. The conference aims to provide a forum for presentation of issues on virtualized computing resources on the global network through original presentations, and extending opportunities to exchange and present knowledge and out of box ideas at the highest technical level.
Conference Objectives:
- Cloud computing solutions for managing library functionalities and services over the Internet
- Cloud computing approach for globalizing academic libraries
- Systems and programs that facilitate implementation of cloud computing solutions
- Systems and programs that facilitate adding new dimensions to academic library services
- Systems and programs that facilitate collaborative approach to library education, training and research
