The aim of this conference is to address the technical, managerial, practical and theoretical issues that arise from diverse applications of repositories in the increasingly pervasive information environment. A programme of papers, panel discussions, poster presentations, workshops, tutorials and developer coding sessions will bring together all the key stakeholders in the field. Open source software community meetings for the major platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) will also provide opportunities to advance and co-ordinate the development of repository installations across the world. We invite developers, researchers and practitioners to submit papers describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories. Submissions of up to 4 pages in length are requested in PDF or HTML format.

If our public libraries offer themselves be outsorced how many firms will quote? Vyasamoorthy ================================= AP Librarians under new management http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071004/ap_on_re_us/outsourcing_libraries By JULIA SILVERMAN, Associated Press Writer Thu Oct 4, 2:56 PM ET MEDFORD, Ore. - A big, red "Closed" sign has been plastered across the front door of the library here since mid-April, when Jackson County ran out of money to keep its 15 branches open. In a few weeks, though, the sign will come down and the doors will be flung open again, now that the county has come up with an unusual cost-saving solution: outsourcing its libraries. The county will continue to own the buildings and all the books in them. But the libraries will be managed by an outside company for a profit. And the librarians will no longer be public employees and union members; they will be on the company's payroll. Library patrons might not notice much difference, but the librarians will, since the company plans to get by with a smaller staff and will have a free hand to set salaries and benefits. "The average citizen, when they walk into the library, they will see well-trained, well-educated, customer-service-oriented people working in the library," said Bob Windrow, director of sales and marketing at Germantown, Md-based Library Systems and Services, or LSSI, the company taking over. "They won't know who is paying their salary, and they won't care. They care whether the library is open adequate hours, and are they getting good service." For years, state and local governments have been privatizing certain functions, such as trash collection, payroll processing and road maintenance. But contracting with an outside company to run a library is a relatively new phenomenon, one that has been gaining in popularity as communities from Jackson County, Tenn., to Redding, Calif., look for ways to save money. The practice has generated a backlash from those who argue that municipalities are employing a backdoor method of union-busting, and those who say that such profit-making ventures go against the notion that libraries are one of the noblest functions of government in a democracy. "This is a shift from the public trust into private hands," said John Sexton, an out-of-work Jackson County librarian who has interviewed with LSSI for his old job. "Libraries have always been a source of information for everyone and owned by no one." Most of the 15 or so U.S. municipalities that have outsourced their libraries has signed on with LSSI, which is the biggest player in the field but is privately held and does not disclose earnings. Jackson County lost 36 percent of its budget in one fell swoop last year when Congress failed to renew the rich subsidies designed to help parts of the country where logging has been hurt by endangered-species regulations. Rather than cut back on, say, law enforcement, county officials closed the libraries. (Congress later approved a one-year extension of the logging subsidies.) Book lovers complained bitterly about the closings, but two ballot measures to raise taxes and reopen the libraries fell short. Then LSSI offered to run the libraries, underbidding the public employees union. The contract with LSSI will be worth around $3 million a year; the county will also budget $1.3 million to maintain the buildings. Combined, that is about half of the $8 million a year the county previously spent on its libraries. However, the libraries will be open a total of only 24 hours a week, compared with 40-plus hours for most branches before the shutdown. And LSSI plans to hire 50 to 60 full-time employees, down from 88 under county management. The county will retain control over certain policies, such as late fees, the cost of a library card, or how long library patrons can keep a best-seller. But LSSI will be in charge of buying books and says it will use its muscle to obtain deep discounts from suppliers. It will also be responsible for hiring, and says that while its salaries will be comparable to what the employees were making previously, the benefits will be less generous. The workers will lose the right to participate in Oregon's pension system for public employees and instead will qualify for a 401(k) program. Many former staff members are interviewing for their old jobs, meaning library patrons are likely to see some familiar faces when they check out a book. But there won't be enough jobs for everyone. And some have yet to decide whether to go back. "I am taking a wait-and-see approach," said Amy Kinard, who worked for the library system for 17 years. "I am not hopeful for a job, but I am trying to stay open to the benefits of working for them." Some bibliophiles fear that the library, under distant, corporate management, will be less attuned to local interests when buying books and will stock the shelves with lots of best-sellers. "Does this company understand local needs?" asked Loriene Roy, president of the American Library Association, which opposes library outsourcing. "We have long regarded libraries as different. We deal with intangibles. We are not profit-driven." Riverside County, Calif., one of California's fastest-growing regions, is widely seen as the pioneer in library outsourcing. The county signed with LSSI in 1997 and has stuck with the company; a 2002 study found that Riverside County library patrons were generally pleased with the services. In just the last year, Texas cities San Juan and Leander, California cities Redding and Moorpark and the Jackson-Madison County library system in Tennessee have joined LSSI's ranks. In Bedford, Texas, outside of Fort Worth, Mayor Jim Story cast the tie-breaking vote in August against allowing LSSI to take over the libraries. "The salaries were going to be pretty low, and I was afraid that that would lead to high turnover of their own employees," Story said. "Plus I did not think that they would have the manpower to handle the quality of service that we now have in our library. I wasn't willing to that risk." Fargo, N.D., cut its ties with LSSI in 2003, after concerns that the company had not paid its bills on time, while Jersey City, N.J., dropped its contract in 2001 after the mayor who had vouched for LSSI left office. Back in Oregon, Jim Olney, director of the Jackson County Library Foundation, considers himself a union supporter, but said: "Look, if it is either close the libraries or outsource them, we'd rather have outsourcing. Sometimes you have to go for the difficult choice because there is no easy choice." =========== -- Dr P Vyasamoorthy, Society for Serving Seniors 30, Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015 Phone 27846631 / 94908 04278 http://societyforservingseniors.satyamcsr.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

How useful it could be for you! IBM Mashup Starter Kit is a preview of a new Web 2.0-based mashup platform that empowers business professionals to rapidly get the information they need, no matter where it resides. This toolkit enables users to assemble their own Web 2.0 mashup applications, solving business problems without aid from information technology (IT) specialists. IBM Mashup Starter Kit consists of two technologies: IBM Mashup Hub and QEDWiki. IBM Mashup Hub is a mashup server that stores information feeds (such as in RSS, ATOM, or XML formats) in order to enable reuse and collaboration. Mashup Hub can also merge, transform, filter, annotate, or publish information in new formats. From there, the newly-enhanced QEDWiki serves as the user interface and allows non-IT users to "mash" information from any data source in order to create a single view of disparate sets of information in minutes.

This critique, planned to continue in future DDQ numbers, explores the proposition that Information Science will not resolve current uncertainties about its place as an academic discipline on a par with Computer Science, but instead will fade within two decades, with its concerns becoming topics in more enduring university faculties. Information Science professionals who believe this prediction mistaken might wish to present counter-arguments to what appears in DDQ. To them, I suggest that Information Science will fade unless they can produce justifications and scoping statements much more robust than any I have read. Should they want DDQ to publish or cite of their refutations, I will be happy to include them provided that they accommodate the compact DDQ style. Readers are reminded that embedded links provide quick access to other authors' discussions of topics that DDQ mentions, in case they want more depth than DDQ can provide. Cheerio, Henry H.M.

Example- article requests should be tried with DELNET or other commercial provoiders of DDS or write to publishers and make payment for it, so that you will not violate copyright, and if it is nowhere available, then it needs to be posted to forum, as a last resort. Though we know the deficiency of written communication skills of few, effort should be made to present in a proper manner by the person who is posting. The moderator may decide not to post such requests basically to maintain the dignity of our profession. Gayathri Sen PESIT __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

College Post* *Bangalore-560059* Seminar on *Evaluation of Open Source Content Management System: A Comparative Study* Over the last few years, information professionals have started to have a role in the management of websites and intranets. As a result, they gained new skills from their web activities. There are many web-authoring software like FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc which has been used to develop and maintain the websites. But gradually, it became difficult to maintain and update the websites because of their very dynamic nature and a variety of file formats. Content Management Systems evolved as an alternative to such web-authoring tools. A content management system (CMS) offers a way to manage large amount of web-based information that escapes the burden of coding all of the information into each page in HTML by hand. A CMS assists conformity by providing a centrally managed system for displaying the content. Although the rapid proliferation of commercially available content management systems makes it easier to find a vendor that might have right solution, the cost to purchase a commercial CMS application is very high. As an alternative to commercial CMS, open source solutions are a tantalizing option. Though, there are many open source CMS available in public domain, such as Drupal, Joomla, Plone, PHP-Nuke, etc, it is difficult to decide what solution will work best for a particular organization (or library). A comprehensive checklist is required to evaluate these systems. This seminar will focus on the key requirements of the CMS and a checklist for evaluating CMS will be discussed.

The question is whether a Librarian violates Copyrights Laws if he supplies an Article to his user for personal use and research? This is perhaps accepted because here he is only working on behalf of the user. Also, so far Inter-Library Loans are concerned, there should not be any problem because no "copies" are made. Original Book / Journal is borrowed and given to user. Copyright Laws restricts only making copies of literary works. However, what happens when a librarian makes a copy and transmits over internet to requesting Librarian? Requesting librarian takes that digital copy, makes a print copy and hands over to its user, hoping that it would be used by its user for personal and research work. To me, it appears, there is a violation by the initiating librarian as he is not acting on behalf of his user. What others feel about this? --Sukhdev Singh, NIC.

Mysore University Library and Information Science Student Association (MULISSA) is a student forum to support the overall development of students. MULISSA is in action for more than 35 years. Every year it is constituted with the current batch of students as its members. Department nominated faculty member faculty member would act as its advisor. A student elected committee co-ordinates the overall activities. 'Friday Talk' ? a lecture series on every Friday organised by MULISSA ? has been ascribed by NAAC as one of the 'best practices' in the campus. The main objectives of MULISSA are: * To enhance academic and professional skills/knowledge among its members * To provide opportunity for enrichment of cultural and other abilities * To foster relationships among faculty, staff, and students As per the tradition, MULISSA for the current academic year, ie., 2007-08, was inaugurated on the Friday 19th October 2007. Prof. B. Nagappa, a retired professor of MyDLIS (Department of Library and Information Science, Mysore) inaugurated the association by lighting the lamp. He spoke at length on libraries and librarianship as a profession. Throughout his lecture he emphasised the values and ethics our profession should follow. In his speech he took the audience to a historical journey from 'clay tablet libraries' to 'digital libraries'. He traced the changes in the nomenclature of librarians from 'keeper of books' to 'librarians' to 'information scientists'. He highlighted the importance of the role of librarians in the society. He said 'smile', 'work' and 'think' are the three qualities of a librarian. He opined that the challenges of present day librarians are very high and the students have to be aware about them in order to prepare themselves for the future challenges in their career. He cautioned the professionals that unless we welcome the changes and learn the art of the game very fast, some body else would take away our jobs. Prof. Nagappa said the four basic principles of Charles Darwin propounded in his book 'On the origin of species' published in 1859 could be construed as the basic principles for success in life. He showed how librarians can interpret the Darwin's principles "Struggle for existence", "Survival of the fittest", "Natural selection" and "Adaptation to the environment" to face the challenges. Dr. Mallinath Kumbar, Chairman and President of MULISSA presided over the function. Dr. N.S. Harinarayana, the faculty advisor for the current batch and Dr. M. Chandrashekara, Reader in the Department were present on the occasion. Students of MLISc managed the whole show. Ms. Umme Asima N.A welcomed the gathering and Ms. Sajana C. proposed vote of thanks. Mr. K. R. Udaya Bhaskar was the master for ceremonies during the programme. -- N.S.

If the requestor is asking for personal research and study - then there is no need to pay a copyright fee to a publisher 2. The supplier - whether it is the librarian of the reqeustor's institution or another librarian - has two responsibilities: a) Not to retain a copy of the article given to the requestor (print or electronic) b) Getting a declaration from the requestor - saying that he/she will use it only for non-commercial purposes, and that he/she has not got the same article from anyone else. As long as these two points are followed - there is no violation. Document delivery is a major process followed in International libraries with complete importance to the above two points. 3.

They charge users for the copyright fee plus a service fee for supplying and taking care of copyright issues. British Library, UK and CISTI, Canada are examples of such libraries.

Most of us know that, using copyrighted material without rights-holders permission for any purpose can be a violation of copyright. However, there are some exceptions like Fair-use. If organizations/Libraries and Librarians want to be copyright compliant, then they should have clarity on scope of the fair use before making use of the copyrighted documents. Otherwise, Librarians may be risking their organizations for a possible copyright violation. Relative to the ILL/journal articles sharing/distribution, CONTOU guidelines indicate that Libraries can share/provide a maximum of 5 articles from a subscribed journal in a given year.

The question is whether a Librarian violates Copyrights Laws if he supplies an Article to his user for personal use and research? This is perhaps accepted because here he is only working on behalf of the user. Also, so far Inter-Library Loans are concerned, there should not be any problem because no "copies" are made. Original Book / Journal is borrowed and given to user. Copyright Laws restricts only making copies of literary works. However, what happens when a librarian makes a copy and transmits over internet to requesting Librarian? Requesting librarian takes that digital copy, makes a print copy and hands over to its user, hoping that it would be used by its user for personal and research work. To me, it appears, there is a violation by the initiating librarian as he is not acting on behalf of his user. What others feel about this? --Sukhdev Singh, NIC.

International Association of Marine Science Libraries and Information Centres (IAMSLIC) has a discussion list like LIS-forum and at one time very large number of postings were for document requests (Interestingly, large number of colleagues used to help - equally others used to curse). The members of this association then went for Z39.50 search on their catalogues (http://library.csumb.edu/cyamus/ill/search.php) and automate document requests to libraries that wished extend their resources (and time). Today, the list receives least number of such requests because alternative mechanism exists. Interestingly, we receive (and we reciprocate) response to our request from Europe and America within 24 hrs of our requests. This service has impressed my library users very much. Why not LIS-Forum or computer savvy members of LIS-forum try this or other suitable option? Afterall, as has been said, this helps librarians to impress their users for the service they provide. Until such arrangements are made, members may be allowed to use lis-forum. As such, this is nothing new. We have been traditionally providing copies of the documents that users require by borrowing from other libraries without being in the clutches of copyright. So we continue (with change of medium).

From manjunath at mail.tapmi.org Tue Oct 23 15:10:00 2007 From: manjunath at mail.tapmi.org (Manjunath K) Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2007 15:10:00 +0530 Subject: [LIS-Forum] Supplying Journal Articles - Does it Violate Copyright Laws In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <157342350000391d@tapmi.org> Dear fellow professionals, This topic is like river disputes between the states.. never ends and no solutions... some times there will be either motivations or compulsions to violate copyright. The basic philosophy of copyright is very noble.. "one should not reproduce without the notice/permission of originator/owner" In an academic institute, people tend to take copies of chapters/articles for their academic interest. The progress of academic research depends on availability of such material. Copyright also is very harsh towards people taking copies for academic activities as compared to commercial activities. I feel most of copyright issues bothers members of academic institutes rather than commercial organizations. Faculty and students appears not too much worried about these copyright issues. They simply take copies of the material they want either independently or through their colleagues. Since I interact with student community, my experiences are based on pressures/demands from students, researchers and faculty members. Some times we can ensure the copyright and some times we will not have options except violating it. To quote a small incident.. A book was prescribed by our faculty member for his course. It is our practice to provide that text book to all the students as course material. The text book in multiple numbers was ordered after getting full confirmation from suppler+publisher. The faculty was happy and prepared his course outline according the book as he had one copy of the same. The supplier/publisher kept on telling that the books will come... after 30 days, he said the copies are Out of stock, cannot be supplied and apologized... the course was about to start and the faculty was not able to change the book as was no time to look for alternate title. He said will go the recommended book and asked the academic section to take copies of required chapters from the book. Finally the required chapters of the book were photocopies and distributed... Like this there could be so many examples in our workplaces, which might force us to take deviations. 1. I observed, people tend to take copies if the book is good and price is high and beyond their reach.. If good books are low priced, the readers tend to see them as less quality books. whom to ask ? Reader/publisher? Normally vendors send books on approval basis. During the selection process, if faculty members take copy of the high-priced good book and say no for purchasing to library? Or if they ask librarian to take copy and return it? Most of the times the answer for such copying is "NO" from librarian. But if faculty takes directly? Or if demands through authority to do the job? 2. Generally, on ethical grounds, librarian will not encourage copying.. but what to do if the students borrow books and take copy outside? In a student community, one student's action may influence other students too. They too take copies, in the process the library copy gets disfigured/damaged.. knowing the trend.. if librarian attempt for required multiple copies in one go.. will it not save institute's property? 3. the purpose of photocopy or scanning is same.. multiplying/duplicating.. as sukhdev says, if librarian scans the article and sends it... how it is different from photocopying? If the recipient provides multiple access on his internal network, what to do? 4. In the age of open sources/achieves, the authors are posting their research outputs free on their blogs... how this copyright act really controlling the scene? 5. Regarding cases, In management institutes the teaching is through case studies. The cases are to be distributed to individual student for reading and discussion in the classroom. It is purely for discussion.. The institutes, which develop case studies insist that they should buy the required number of the cases and each copy costs around Rs.100- Rs.200. Institute cannot/don't want to recover the cost of cases from students as they are distributed for classroom.. the management courses will have several cases to be given to students. In such situations what to do except going for shortcut? In the process the librarian/institute will buy few copies and take multiple copies for distribution? How to tackle ethical issues? 6. Can this copyright law be honoured if production/manufacture of photocopying machines, document scanners and duplicating machines is completely banned? Like this we can keep on adding questions for which the answer is difficult. Regards, Manjunath ------------- Dr. Manjunatha K Librarian T.A. Pai Management Institute Manipal - 576 104 Udupi Dist.

The question is whether a Librarian violates Copyrights Laws if he supplies an Article to his user for personal use and research? This is perhaps accepted because here he is only working on behalf of the user. Also, so far Inter-Library Loans are concerned, there should not be any problem because no "copies" are made. Original Book / Journal is borrowed and given to user. Copyright Laws restricts only making copies of literary works. However, what happens when a librarian makes a copy and transmits over internet to requesting Librarian? Requesting librarian takes that digital copy, makes a print copy and hands over to its user, hoping that it would be used by its user for personal and research work. To me, it appears, there is a violation by the initiating librarian as he is not acting on behalf of his user. What others feel about this? --Sukhdev Singh, NIC.

Till we reach those levels, Ideally clearing the "Sent mail" and the folder in which the article may reside, can be cleared up after making sure that the recipient has received the article or in about 4-5 days is the solution. And in the context of rendering files unreadable etc - just for the interest of those who do not know - the interesting features we have come across are: a) CISTI sends articles (if we choose) by "Secure Electronic Delivery" - when we order for commercial use. We are able to transmit the same email to the company requesting for the same. The user there can download the article only once and print the same. b) British Library sends Secure Documents where they can be saved and printed from one machine only c) There are some publishers who allow downloads using some special softares, and you can save the articles on a single machine only d) In one of the Indian Medical Journals, you can read an article online, but printing is disabled. These are various ways copyright restrictions are coming into play Regards Vasumathi -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Whether librarian role is to protect copyrights on behalf of publisher, author etc ? When users are accessing library resources? Whether library professionals have to ask what purpose you are using whether is it for Academic or commercial use? What is commercial when R & D institutes are taking project, giving consultancy service earning revenue from this? Is it academic or commercial use? Is there any mechanism to check who is using for what purpose? Librarians are indirectly promoting publisher products in the name of copyright law? I don?t understand what is the problem for some one ? if the professionals are sharing information on this forum? Whether he is taking too much care about publishers? Now days majority of the people are thinking about open access system. Copyright is hindrance to the progress of the society? It is very important to know the reason that who are sending article request? Even among government education institutes there is lot of disparity in distribution of resources? When all education institutions are run by public money why there is big gap between other institutes while allocation of finance? When each institute is subscribing for same journal is it not waste of public money? Why not they formulate uniform resources allocation for all government education institutes? Then everybody having similar resources question of requesting for particular article should not arise? Present day copyright law is not user oriented rather it is publisher oriented because all the terms and conditions are laid down by publishers are not in present copyright law.

Having previous experience as a course manager, programme manager and Associate Head responsible for Postgraduate Courses in ABS he is now Associ ate Dean of Research. He has a background in working in academic libraries and also worked for some time as a systems analyst. His research interests have in the past centred around the use of new technology in the effective delivery of information and education. In particular he has researched the evaluation of multimedia systems in delivering the curriculum in higher education and has been involved in a number of projects which contribute to a better understanding of both the pedagogical basis for implementing new technology into the curriculum in Higher Education and which have also promoted and facilitated use of such technol ogies. (In particular the NetLearn and ReMOTE web portal developments which deal respectively with accessing internet based teaching resources and Internet based resources for delivering Research Methods Instruction). Current research interests are based around the potential for academic librarians to play a key role in the delivery of information skills ? particularly with respect to the support and interaction they provide when dealing with distance learners and other off ! campus students. His research interests also encompass the information seeking behaviour of users ? particularly when using technology and the impact of cognitive and learning styles on how users approach searching and using information. Main teaching areas (which have a synergy with research interests) have centred around Information Retrieval, Multimedia learning technologies, and Knowledge Organization. He is a member of the AHRB peer review college and an associate editor for the journal Campus Wide Information. _______________________________________________________________________________ Sangeeta Kaul Network Manager DELNET-Developing Library Network JNU Campus Nelson Mandela Road Vasant Kunj New Delhi-110070 Tel: 91-11-32471010, 32471002, 32471011 Web : www.delnet.nic.in ________________________________________________________________________________ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Librarians and Campus CIOs are dealing with a plethora of new technologies and issues in the realm of Digital Libraries. The evolution and coalescing of Java applications, digital object standards, Internet access, electronic commerce, digital media management models, search engines, and library automation systems, is causing educators, CIOs, and librarians to rethink many of their traditional goals and modes of operation. As one of the leading technology providers to the Education and Library Communities, Sun discerned the need for a comprehensive, state-of-the-art document that could give some guidance in the nascent field of Digital Libraries. Purpose and Scope This third edition is an update and expansion of the previous editions. It contains more of everything. In particular, the resources section has been expanded and updated, and a chapter on the impact of the Internet is added. This document is designed to help those who are contemplating setting up a digital library. Whether this is a first time computerization effort or an extension of an existing library s services, there are questions to be answered, decisions to be made, and work to be done. This document covers all those stages and more. The first part (Chapters 1 & 2) is a series of questions to ask yourself and your organization. The questions are designed generally to raise issues rather than to provide definitive answers.

An editorial arguing that New York University should join with the Open Content Alliance , not the Google Library project , to digitize the books in the NYU library. Excerpt: Since 2004, Google has been making thousands of books available to readers - including college students - online; Microsoft has also joined this effort. Both work with major university and research libraries, covering the costs of book scanning while requesting a non-exclusive agreement in return. Once a library has signed on, its scanned materials become solely accessible through either the Microsoft or Google search engines. The program, which counts universities such as Harvard, Oxford, and Stanford as participants, has recently come under criticism from a non-profit group called the Open Content Alliance. OCA raised concerns voiced by many other libraries: By trusting either Google or Microsoft to scan, store, and allow access to these libraries' content, the public would end up being dependent on the decisions of either corporation. While access is free today, what would stop either company from charging an access fee for its contents tomorrow? The Open Content Alliance, and the like-minded Boston Library Consortium, counters this oligopolist vision by arguing for a consortium of universities and private contributors who would create, finance and manage a similar book-scanning effort. Theoretically, this diffuse membership would prevent the type of unilateral decision-making some fear from Google or Microsoft. This option is not without its costs. While Google and Microsoft scan a library's contents for free, OCA members must pay up to $30 per book. We believe this is a price worth paying....Such a database would better serve all NYU students by saving on research and check-out time while, more significantly, expanding each student's access to content by freeing it from its physical quantity and location.... We recognize that costs must be investigated before NYU can or should commit itself to either system. Whatever the numbers, we urge the administration to digitize NYU's library content.

Some has cited how it is being done abroad. Some responses are more emotional and make references to Open Access movement. Before anything else, let me say that Open Access in-fact is fully compliant with Copyrights Laws. The Open Access Movement is all directed in convincing the original right holders i.e. Authors to retain their rights. Further, it convinces them use their rights to make their works Openly Accessible to their peers. As this is the best method how authors will get maximum exposure and appreciation. It is the exposure and appreciation (citations) what the scholarly authors are looking for ? and not the immediate financial gain. All other activities in the movement ? Open Access Repositories, Open Journals, and Creative Commons Licenses etc. ? are just facilitating authors to achieve what they want from their scholarly works. Open Access is not about violating any Laws, Bypassing Peer Review process or self / substandard publication. It is the soul of Open Access movement, which even Open Access stalwarts tend to misinterpret. Now coming to the present debate over supplying copies of journal articles. There are example where large libraries like US National Library of Medicine, British National Library etc. are providing copies of journal articles. But so far as I know they are doing so with the full knowledge of the Journals. They even pay royalty to journals from where they make copies of the articles. There has been no major resistance from the journal publishers against such giant or other libraries. It perhaps has more to do with their business compulsions rather than legal exemptions to libraries in providing copies of journal articles. No wise scholarly publisher would dare to spoil its relationship with libraries. Now coming to Indian context, INDIAN COPYRIGHT ACT, 1957, governs copyrights issues. It is applicable to whole of India as geographical entity as well as to ALL INDIAN CITIZENS wherever they reside. Incase some petition is filed by any publisher against any librarian in India ? it is this act which will come into affect. Any emotional justification or citations to practice elsewhere would be of little help only. I am attaching the relevant portion of the act as a PDF file. According to CHAPTER XI Infringement of Copyright clause 51 b (ii) there is infringement of copyright if a person "distributes either for the purpose of trade or to such an extent as to affect prejudicially the owner of the copyright,.." It means that even if purpose is not trade but "affect prejudicially the owner" the person distributing the copyright work is in trouble. Further, the Act provides for "fair use" under clause 52 from sub-clause 'a' to 'za' under the same chapter XI. However, Libraries are covered only under (o) as under "(o) the making of not more than three copies of a book (including a pamphlet, sheet of music, map, chart or plan) by or under the direction of the person in charge of a public library for the use of the library if such book is not available for sale in India;" There is no other mention of Libraries or Librarians under the clause 52. How should we interpret these provisions? --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Grimaldi and Jacqueline Trescott, Washington Post Staff Writers Wednesday, October 24, 2007 About one-sixth of the books, monographs and bound periodicals at the Library of Congress weren't where they were supposed to be because of flaws in the systems for shelving and retrieving materials, according to a survey to be made public at a congressional hearing today. Officials at the library say they believe most of the missing materials are misplaced, not stolen or lost. Investigators for the congressional library have told lawmakers on a House oversight committee that its review of the retrieval system for the general collection concluded that a 17 percent of materials requested could not be found. "A subsequent review found 4 percent were either on nearby shelves, checked out to the public or marked with the wrong call numbers. But it remains deeply troubling that nearly 13 percent are unaccounted for by library officials," said Howard Gantman, staff director of the joint congressional committee on the library. The Library of Congress's Office of the Inspector General did the survey earlier this year but did not make it public. Library staff followed usual procedures and no follow-up audit was necessary, according to the report by Karl W. Schornagel, the library's inspector general, but the chairman and ranking member of the House Administration Committee were so upset by the finding that they have summoned James H. Billington, the librarian of Congress, to answer questions about it at a hearing today. The 17 percent rate of missing materials "is unacceptable, and a clear indication that we must reassess how we manage this Nation's priceless collection that exceeds 130 million items," said Rep. Vernon J. Ehlers (R-Mich.), the ranking Republican on the committee, in a statement. Since receiving the assessment in the spring, library officials have accelerated efforts to track down the books. "The number of not-on-shelf books has dropped each year. A quality assurance team in the past several months has reduced that rate to 10 percent," said Deanna Marcum, the associate librarian for library services. Established in 1800, the Library of Congress is one of the world's largest research facilities. It has 135 million items, including almost 20 million books, 59.5 million items in the manuscript division, and nearly 3 million sound recordings and radio and television broadcasts. It has 615 miles of shelving. Ehlers and committee Chairman Robert A. Brady (D-Pa.) told Billington they want a thorough accounting of how the library is managed and how the collection is protected. Since 2002 the library has been conducting an inventory, prompted in part by a series of thefts in the early 1990s. However, the inventory is only 20 percent complete, Marcum said. http://www.washingt onpost.com/ wp-dyn/content/ article/2007/ 10/23/AR20071023 01784.html? hpid=topnews or http://tinyurl. com/2xvlcf The entire article can be read at the above URL.

The summary of the talk is given below. Speaking on the occasion, Prof Saleem said that life skills are those abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable individuals to deal positively with the demands and challenges of everyday life. Life skills include competencies that help people make informed decisions, solve problems, think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, maintain healthy relationships, empathize with others, and manage their lives in a healthy manner. Prof. Saleem said that stress has become the order of the day. Coping with stress and emotions are the life skills essential of modern man. The speaker said, unfortunately the formal education does not equip its students with essential life skills. Prof. Saleem explained the increased influence of the peer group on the youth. It tends to pull away from the close emotional ties that they share with their parents and prefer the company of their friends. The speaker touched upon some of the most influencing factors on youth like changes in interests, body image concerns, changes in morality, changes in family relationships, etc. He gave the young students present in the audience the tips to handle the peer pressure. Prof. Saleem ended saying that one does not have to compare oneself with others but to look within oneself for the strengths. He urged the students to acquire the essential life skills ? thinking skills, social skills and negotiation skills. -- N.S.
