Declining Reading Habits
by Parinita Samant 19 Oct '06

19 Oct '06

Dear All, It is nice to see such a varied response for Declining Reading habits. What I, as a librarian want to do, is take a survey to find out the varied reading habits of various age groups and what attracts them to reading. Surely there is a motivation to read. What is it that triggers it in various people? I am sure of the fact that reading habits are NOT declining, they are only changing. Just because people do not come to the library to issue out books, does not mean reading habits are declining. Are we as librarians geared up for this change? We as librarians need to change accordingly to meet our reader's requirements. If e-books is what is preferred by say an age group 20-30 then we provide them with e-books and journals. If Just-in-Time information is needed, then so be it. Could we discuss this further? What are your experiences?

OA and librarians!
by Mailing List Manager 19 Oct '06

19 Oct '06

Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2006 18:58:38 +0100 (BST) From: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah_a(a)yahoo.com> >From Peter Suber's blog Providing OA to library literature Dorothea Salo, Open access to the library literature, Caveat Lector, October 17, 2006. Excerpt: Im shocked that nobody is calling me names. Instead, a productive discussion is starting about open access to the library literature.... [T]he costs and benefits of open access apply to us librarians too. We certainly have overpriced journals and trade publications. We certainly have journals that sold out and saw their prices soar. We certainly have journals and trade publications that ask us to sign ridiculous copyright-transfer agreements.... [T]heres more value for us, in the long run [in providing OA to library literature] --its called eating our own dog food. We cant reasonably go out and evangelize self-archiving to faculty when we arent doing it ourselves. We cant evangelize open-access journals when we dont publish in them.... I mean, our very own guidebooks militate against open access! I was reading the publication chapter in The Successful Academic Librarian last week (ambitious, thats me) when I ran smack into (paraphrased) There are open-access journals, but they arent well-known, so most librarians consider them dubious publication outlets at best. Oh, great; thanks ever so, O Molder of the Mind of the Young. That isnt even true, for $DEITYs sake! Find me a techie librarian who doesnt know about D-Lib and Ariadne. One. So what is a librarian who publishes in the library literature to do? At a minimum, I suggest the following: * Read all copyright transfer agreements. Its flat-out irresponsible not to. If you dont like what youre reading, ask if thats the only agreement available, and be prepared to detail your concerns. * For those agreements that do not appear to allow self-archiving or do not address self-archiving, ask the editor May I self-archive this paper? Editors and publishers need to hear that their authors want to do this; we mustnt let publishers hide behind but our authors dont care! Just asking the question is not going to kill your acceptance chances (especially if you ask this after your paper is accepted!). * Whenever possible, submit your work to an existing open-access journal. Gold-OA has a chicken-and-egg problem; authors wont submit to OA journals unless other authors do, and Molders of the Minds of the Young wont give credence to OA journals until they know people (good people!) who publish in them. We dont necessarily need to start more OA library journals. We need to utilize the ones we do have fully. (That said watch this space.) * Know OA resources in our field. Use them, and point other librarians to them. Im at DLIST all the time these days. Want to go a little further? There are ways.... [PS: Here cutting six good suggestions; see the whole post.]

OA progressing well in Europe
by Mailing List Manager 19 Oct '06

19 Oct '06

Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2006 11:43:41 +0530 From: Subbiah Arunachalam <arun(a)mssrf.res.in> More on DRIVER Tracey Caldwell, Europe starts to build an Open Access information network, Information World Review, October 17, 2006. Excerpt: The EU is to network research papers across Europe to create a free public information resource. The Driver project will use simple internet-based infrastructures to make accessible scientific and technical reports, research articles, experimental and observational data, rich media and other digital objects. The European Commission's research infrastructure unit will fund the 18-month project. During this time Driver (Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research) will prepare for the future expansion and upgrade of the infrastructure across Europe and aim to ensure the widest possible user involvement. Ten international partners are supporting the project. Driver will help countries to create networks of open access (OA) repositories. It will build on existing institutional repositories and networks from countries including the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium and the UK.... Open access commentator Peter Suber welcomed the launch: "This is big. It should greatly increase the number of OA institutional repositories. Its testbed will demonstrate powerful new services, enticing universities to make their research output available to these services through local incentives to deposit. And it should make it much easier for public funding agencies in European countries to mandate OA archiving for all the research they fund." (From Peter Suber's blog)
