Dear Friends,

NCSI-Net, an informal association comprising of NCSI staff, trainees,
and its alumni, cordially invites you to the fourth Dr. T.B.
Rajashekar Memorial Lecture. The details of the lecture are given
below:

Title: " Academic Access in a Globalized world: Scholars without Borders”

 Speaker: Ram Ramaswamy
              Jawaharlal Nehru University
              New Delhi

Date: Friday, 12th June, 2009

Time: 6.00 PM
         (High Tea will be served at 5.30PM onwards)

Venue: NCSI, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore

Description About The Talk:

In this talk, Ram will discuss the problems of equitable access to
information and knowledge, the issues of distribution, and initiatives
that address these in both the digital and physical domains. In
particular the poor visibility of scholarship in marginalized areas
and the inadequate availability of academic material can benefit by
harnessing available technologies. A globalized knowledge economy
requires that these be employed,  adapting them to local conditions,
and  *Scholars without Borders* has been making efforts in these
directions.
