Student campaigns for OA and open source
by arun＠mssrf.res.in 25 Feb '06

25 Feb '06

Friends: The United States has many faces: Wars in far away places such as Vietnam and Iraq, denying visas to reputed scientists, the dominant power in a unuopolar word, and so on. But US is also home to youngsters like Gavin Baker. University students in India might wish to look at what he is doing right now. Please pass this message to doctoral and masters students you know. Best wishes. Arun OA as a campaign issue in a student government election Gavin Baker is running for the Student Senate at the University of Florida. Baker co-founded the Florida chapter of Free Culture and is making open access a campaign issue. His platform is offline at the moment (but the problem is probably temporary, so keep trying). He tells me in an email: I'll advocate for open access to university research and journals, work to expand library digitization projects, promote open source software and open file formats....As far as I know, I am the first student to make open access an electoral issue. He's the first as far as I know too. His candidacy and position could make a difference: At UF, the Student Senate controls an $11 million budget, the third largest in the US. Go, Gavin! Note to students elsewhere: learn about open access and what you and your university can do to promote it. Take your commitment into your research and future career. But in the meantime, take it into your student government!

Hello LIS Forumers, I am new to this list and thought I would introduce myself. I am originally from Chennai, India but have lived in Canada for the last 12 years. I am a librarian and I graduated from University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC. It was by sheer accident I found this listserve on the website and decided to join in. For, I don't really know about libraries in India as much as I know of them here. The only libraries I visited were the British Council and USIS. Hope to chat with you all and learn more, Mahalakshmi Kumaran.

On scholarly communication and OA
by arun＠mssrf.res.in 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

>From Peter Suber's blog. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] -------------------------- Nancy Davenport on scholarly communication and OA Andy Carvin has blogged some notes on Nancy Davenport's keynote address at the University of Missouri conference, Open Access, Open Source, Open CourseWare: Sharing as a Solution to the Digital Divide (Columbia, February 22, 2006). Davenport is the president of Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). Excerpt: Scholarly Communications. What are the issues? What are the options? What are the leadership issues?...Scholars are the supply and the demand. Research has to be distributed, through print, e-format, open access, repositories, self-publishing, even blogs. Who is in the middle, mediating scholarly discussions? Societies, reviewers, publishers - for profit and nonprofit - aggregators, librarians, provosts, administrators, the Internet....Digital scholarship: only way to integrate disparate content, allows new research and scholarship, encourages using material in new ways, creates new fields and communities of practice, creates new knowledge. CLIR call to action: tells publishers that librarians want independent, third party preservation of your content. "The academic community is built upon a sham. More and more you don't own your content - you're paying rent." What impedes open access? The academic reward system. Tenure requires publishing in "the right journals." Scientists can put open access fee into their budgets. But in the humanities, you don't get that kind of funding. PloS.org won't work for most humanities scholars....Where are we now? We pay a lot of money. Most institutions are paying 24% for digital serial journals in their collections budget. Libraries each pay large fees to access the same material. Meanwhile, libraries are digitizing their own special, unique materials.
