Google Digital library: Judge refuses to delay case
New York: The federal judge presiding over challenges to Google Inc.’s plans to create the world’s largest digital library has refused to delay the 7-year-old case while Google appeals his decision to grant authors class certification.
US Circuit Judge Denny Chin’s order was put in the court file yesterday in Manhattan, where he ruled in May that class action was “more efficient and effective” than requiring thousands of authors to sue individually. His order was dated Tuesday.
AP
The Mountain View-California-based Google appealed the class-certification ruling and asked to delay all proceedings until the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals rules.
Chin said a delay was unwarranted, especially since it would hold the case up for a year or more.
“The merits would have to be reached at some point in any event, and there simply is no good reason to delay matters further,” the judge wrote.
He also said he found it surprising that Google argued it would be unfair to decide the merits of the case while authors were deciding whether to opt out of the class, especially “in light of Google’s fervent opposition to class certification.”
Chin has scheduled oral argument for October on requests by lawyers that he decide issues without a jury.
Google already has scanned more than 20 million books for the project. The Authors Guild had requested class certification, saying it was impractical and expensive for each author to sue Google over similar claims.
The Authors Guild has asked in court papers that the class be awarded USD 750 in damages for each copyrighted book Google copied. It has argued that Google was not making “fair use” of copyright material by offering snippets of works in its online library.
Lawyers for Google did not immediately respond to a message for comment. The company that operates the world’s largest Internet search engine has defended its online library plans, saying it is fully compliant with copyright law.
Newspaper section of Hardayal Municipal Public Library, Delhi may face closure
NEW DELHI: It has been four months since the staff of the Hardayal Municipal Public Library was paid its salary. With the trifurcation of MCD earlier this year, there was initially some confusion over the jurisdiction of this library with 31 branches across the city. The Chandni Chowk region, where the central library and the head office are, falls under the North Delhi Municipal Corporation . The official NDMC budget estimate lists "Grant-in-aid to Hardayal Mpl. Public Library" as Rs 3 crore for 2012-13 .
The honorary secretary of the library, Yashpal Arya, says he will have to shut down the newspaper section by next month if he does not receive funds. HMPL's newspapers section that subscribes to 31 newspapers from the English, Hindi and Urdu press is open to all. "There are so many students who have done their PhDs from here. I only have hope until the end of August," says Arya.
The staff have submitted a memo to chief minister Sheila Dikshit asking for release of provisional funds for salaries and other expenses. A copy of the memo bearing the CM's handwritten note to NDMC commissioner PK Gupta is with TOI. "There are audit problems. We are looking into it," said Gupta.

Nagpur University, finally, hands over librarian's case to Disciplinary Action Committee
NAGPUR: The Nagpur University has finally handed over the case of senior NU lecturer allegedly helping her sister to clear her exams, to its Disciplinary Action Committee (DAC). The controller of examinations (CoE) Siddharth Kane, who had given a "clean chit" to the head of NU's Department of Library and Information Science (DLISc) Shailini Likhitkar, told media about this development. TOI had on August 2 reported this issue.
"After conducting initial probe we have decided to handover the case to DAC as per rules and regulations," Kane said. He explained that after TOI report, NU had initiated a probe and sought Likhitkar's explanation on the allegations.
"In her reply, she stated that she was on leave at the time of the examination but NU officials had asked her to check the answer sheets. She said that she didn't have any information about the answer sheets that were being revaluated and had absolutely no idea that her sister's answer-sheet was among the lot she checked," Kane said.
Interestingly, while refuting the allegations, the CoE had termed the entire episode as an "act of mischief by someone". Likhitkar however couldn't be contacted for her comments.
The fraud came to fore after a person, TS Gedam, wrote to vice-chancellor, Vilas Sapkal, alleging that Likhitkar had helped her sister (Roll No. 108993) to clear Bachelor of Library Science (BLib) examination conducted in 2010-11 through unfair means. The letter claimed that Likhitkar herself checked the answer-sheets of her sister during revaluation and increased her marks in two subjects so as to enable her to clear the examinations.
The letter further mentioned that she had misused her position and failed to inform the university that her sister was appearing in the examination, thus violating rules.
The letter claimed that when her sister completed her Certificate Course in Library Science in 2008, she (Roll No. 171026) was declared failed and but she subsequently cleared her next exam with the help of Likhitkar. She had even visited MJ College when MLib practicals were being conducted in March and asked the college authorities to personally pay attention to her sister. The student is now doing her Masters in Library Science (MLib).

Ten Reasons to Love the Library
Whether it’s here in New Delhi or somewhere else entirely, for National Libraries Day or all year round, here are 10 great reasons why using the public library service is a really good idea:
- 1. Because it gives a huge boost to your community
- Libraries are fantastic community facilities – in a world where public space is shrinking almost daily. To visit the library you don’t need to take out an expensive subscription or spend money in order to be welcome. And you’ll meet people from all walks of life there too. Libraries have something to offer no matter what your goals and ambitions – you can find a wonderful, escapist novel to read or a magazine with advice on getting fit. You can get a book to help you with a favourite hobby or to learn the skills you need to run a business. You can catch up with current affairs, trace your family history or do a computer course. Libraries truly offer something for everyone, and their fantastic, free facilities make our communities better and more prosperous places to live.
- 2. Because if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it
- The library service is judged on two things – how many people go through the doors and how many items are borrowed. The council is currently committed to transforming the way it offers services in the future and, make no mistake about this, if library services are not well-used then they will be cut. The single most effective way to support your library is to use it regularly, make sure you know what’s on offer and tell other people.
- 3. Because a library card gives you access to all kinds of online subscriptions that you can use from home
- In New Delhi you can access a great collection of reference resources from your computer at home. These include historic newspapers, dictionaries and encyclopaedias, journals and business publications, arts and literature resources and public information. And more subscriptions, including family history websites, are available from computers in branches.
- 4. Because using the library is more easy and flexible than ever before
- These days you can manage your account in person, by telephone or online. You can visit big or small branches, use mobile libraries or make use of online subscriptions. You can borrow fiction and non-fiction, e-books, audiobooks, magazines, CDs and DVDs as well as using reference services. And, if you can’t get into a branch due to a disability or mobility problem, there’s the home library service. There is a way of being a library member that will suit you and your lifestyle – it’s just a question of finding out what suits you best.
- 5. Because buying all the latest bestsellers costs a bomb
- But the library service stocks them. Usually with multiple copies, often displayed prominently as you walk through the door. And, if the book you want is not on the shelf, then it can usually be tracked down for a small reservation fee. Don’t even get us started on the cost of providing a heap of picture books to a story-hungry toddler every month. And where else are you absolutely welcome to browse through the magazines without having to buy them? Using the library can save you a load of money on leisure and entertainment – and we haven’t even mentioned cost-effective music and DVD rental.
- 6. Because it’s a really simple, cost-free way to try out e-books
- E-books can be quite worrying. For instance, do you have the right kind of device? Do you understand exactly what you are buying and what you can do with it? Are you getting value for money? How secure is the information you’ve provided to the publisher, and will you be bombarded with advertising messages? But use the library’s ebook borrowing service and many of these problems disappear. Hertfordshire offer ebooks in PDF and audio books in MP3 formats that work with a wide variety of devices. And they cost nothing to borrow.
- 7. Because libraries can help you keep up with interests, hobbies and current affairs
- What do you like doing? Reading fat thrillers, escapist romances or the latest candidates for a literary prize? Catching up with memoirs or biographies of famous or interesting people? Flicking through glossy magazines or reading the supplements of broadsheets in detail? Pursuing hobbies like cooking, gardening, walking, travel, DIY, sport, fitness, fashion, pets, art, history, family history, crafts or collecting? Reading blogs and online news sites? Catching up with films or TV shows on DVD? Grabbing an audiobook to make your daily commute or a long journey more tolerable? You can access all these things (and many more) at your local library, either for free or for a very small charge.
- 8. Because you can get essential, reliable information to help you achieve your goals
- What do you want to achieve? The local library can help you with personal goals like better fitness or a more healthy lifestyle. It can offer resources for learning a new language, improving your literacy and numeracy or mastering English as a second language. You can find out how to do important business tasks like accounting, project management or personnel management. You can learn more about your ancestors, understand how to manage a medical condition so it has less impact on your life, improve your computer skills, find out how to write an effective CV or brush up your interview technique, as well as checking job listings in local, national or specialist publications. You can master the driving theory or citizenship test, find out about educational courses, courses for fun, local groups and events going on in your community. Whatever you want to do to make your life better, there’s likely to be some help on offer.
- 9. Because you can get fast, easy Internet and PC access as well as free Wi-Fi
- You’ve got Internet access and a computer at home, so why would you possibly need to use the library facilities? Because computers break like any other appliance and need time-consuming repair or replacement. Because Internet connections sometimes also break down, or other members of your household need to use the equipment at the same time you do. Because you occasionally need to make a copy or scan a document – but not often enough to invest in the equipment yourself. Where do you turn if any of this happens, just as you have an urgent task to complete? In Delhi Public Library, library members can enjoy a free hour’s PC and Internet use a day with just a small charge for non-members.
- 10. Because you never know what you’ll find until you look
- One of the greatest pleasures of visiting the library is the fact you will be constantly surprised. Browse along the shelves and you never know what you might find there. It’s this sense of potential that makes library fans love their libraries so much. From a great new author to an interest you’ve been meaning to follow for years, a magazine you never knew about before or an undiscovered film by your favourite director, there’s always something wonderful and unexpected waiting for you at the library, however big or small it is. And long may it continue.
