Eric Lease Morgan Wrote : I am happy and proud to announce the availability of a digital library manual called Designing, Implementing, and Maintaining Digital Library Services and Collections with MyLibrary. See: http://dewey.library.nd.edu/mylibrary/manual/ About the book and who should read it The book is a manual, and its purpose is to outline the principles and processes necessary to implement digital library collections and services. It uses MyLibrary as an example but the principles and processes can be applied to just about any digital library system or application. The manual is intended to be read by administrators who need to know what and how many resources to allocate to a digital library. It is intended to be read by librarians who are responsible for collecting and organizing content as well as ensuring the library's usability. The manual is intended to be read by systems administrators who are in charge of providing the technical infrastructure for the system. Last but not least, it is intended for programers who will use the underlying Perl API to provide services against the collection. What the book contains and who helped write it The book's 200+ pages is distributed in two volumes and freely available in HTML and PDF formats. Co-written by seventeen excellent authors, the book elaborates upon digital library topics including information architecture, content standards, user-centered design, fundamental computer technologies, techniques for initial implementation & ongoing maintenance, and of course the MyLibrary Perl application programmer's interface.

OA at MIT
by arun＠mssrf.res.in 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

Two steps to support OA at MIT At its March 15 faculty meeting, the MIT faculty discussed two OA-related topics: complying with the NIH public access policy and using an MIT amendment to modify standard publishing contracts and let authors retain key rights. Details in today's report from the MIT News Office: Concerned that taxpayer-funded research is not accessible to the general public because of the tightly controlled, proprietary system enforced by some journal publishers, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is asking every NIH-funded scientist who publishes results in a peer-reviewed journal to deposit a digital copy of the article in PubMed Central (PMC), the online digital library maintained by the NIH. Not later than 12 months after the journal article appears, PMC will then provide free online access to the public. Director of Libraries Anne J. Wolpert and Vice President for Research Alice Gast discussed with the faculty MIT's response to this issue, which has been to support NIH researchers in complying with the policy, and also to enable any MIT researcher to use a more author-friendly copyright agreement when submitting articles for publication. "The overwhelming majority of work produced by you is licensed back to you, and you can't always use your own work in the way you want to use it," Wolpert told the faculty. Copyright exemptions that were carefully crafted to allow the academy to teach and do research are steadily being superseded by intellectual property regimes that were developed for the benefit of the entertainment industry. "What Disney wants, the academy gets, whether it suits your interests or not," Wolpert said. Among the reasons for universities to support open access is the high cost associated with renting access to journals, which for MIT alone has grown in the past decade from $2.6 million to more than $6 million a year.... An amendment that can be attached to any publication's copyright agreement was disseminated to principal investigators in February. "We have to wait and see how this plays out and see what feedback we get from publishers," Gast said. The goal is for MIT as an institution to work out agreements with publishers rather than make individual researchers fight their own battles. More information, as well as the amendment, which would override the publisher's copyright agreement, is available online [here] and other MIT web sites. "There is a distinct feeling among our counterparts at large private and public institutions that if MIT takes a reasonable and principled position on this issue, other institutions will be encouraged to do likewise," Wolpert said. The MIT contract amendment is closely related to the SPARC Author's Addendum drafted for the same purpose. The MIT amendment gives authors (among other things) the non-exclusive right to copy and distribute their own article, to make derivative works from it, and to deposit the final published version in an OA repository. MIT is the first university I know to present its faculty with a lawyer-drafted contract amendment for the purpose of retaining the rights needed to provide OA to their own work. Kudos to all involved. MIT faculty could change the default for faculty with less bargaining power. Posted by Peter Suber at 3/21/2006 10:41:00 PM.

2020 computing: Everything, everywhere
by Sukhdev Singh 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

The current issue of Nature includes some Free Access content on the future of scientific computing. < http://www.nature.com/nature/focus/futurecomputing/index.html > This is interesting - "... computers would take the form of networks of sensors with data-processing and transmission facilities built in. Millions or billions of tiny computers — called 'motes', 'nodes' or 'pods' — would be embedded into the fabric of the real world. They would act in concert, sharing the data that each of them gathers so as to process them into meaningful digital representations of the world. Researchers could tap into these 'sensor webs' to ask new questions or test hypotheses. Even when the scientists were busy elsewhere, the webs would go on analysing events autonomously, modifying their behaviour to suit their changing experience of the world..." by Declan Butler. Nature. Published online: 22 March 2006; | doi:10.1038/440402a http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v440/n7083/full/440402a.html --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. http://openmed.nic.in

HTML Version of the Open Access Bibliography
by Charles W. Bailey, Jr. 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

An HTML version of the Open Access Bibliography: Liberating Scholarly Literature with E-Prints and Open Access Journals (OAB) is now available. http://www.digital-scholarship.com/oab/oab.htm The HTML version of the book was created from the final draft using a complex set of digital transformations. Consequently, there may be minor variations between it and the print and Acrobat versions, which are the definitive versions of the book. The OAB provides an overview of open access concepts, and it presents over 1,300 selected English-language books, conference papers (including some digital video presentations), debates, editorials, e-prints, journal and magazine articles, news articles, technical reports, and other printed and electronic sources that are useful in understanding the open access movement's efforts to provide free access to and unfettered use of scholarly literature. Most sources have been published between 1999 and August 31, 2004; however, a limited number of key sources published prior to 1999 are also included. Where possible, links are provided to sources that are freely available on the Internet (approximately 78 percent of the bibliography's references have such links). -- Best Regards, Charles Charles W. Bailey, Jr., Assistant Dean for Digital Library Planning and Development, University of Houston Libraries E-Mail: cbailey(a)digital-scholarship.com Publications: http://www.digital-scholarship.com/ (Provides access to DigitalKoans, Open Access Bibliography, Open Access Webliography, Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography, Scholarly Electronic Publishing Weblog, and others)

Chemistry in India
by Mailing List Manager 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 14:24:35 +0530 (IST) From: arun(a)mssrf.res.in ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- From: eugene.garfield(a)thomson.com Date: Wed, March 22, 2006 11:27 am To: arun(a)mssrf.res.in -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Editor's Page March 20, 2006 Volume 84, Number 12 p. 5 Indian Science Rising Rudy Baum, Editor-in-chief <http://pubs.acs.org/cen/staff/biorb.html> This week's cover story <http://pubs.acs.org/cen/coverstory/84/8412India.html> -actually, five related stories-is on the dynamic chemical enterprise that is emerging in India. The stories present a fascinating portrait of advanced chemistry that in some cases is thriving and in other cases is struggling in this vast and complex Asian nation. C&EN Deputy Assistant Managing Editor Amanda Yarnell spent more than a month earlier this year traveling throughout India. She attended the two-part conference focused on organic chemistry and chemical biology sponsored by the American Chemical Society and India's Council on Scientific & Industrial Research in Pune and Hyderabad (C&EN, Jan. 16, page 7 <http://pubs.acs.org/cen/news/84/i03/8403notw6.html> ). She visited more than 20 university chemistry departments and government and industry laboratories, and she talked to dozens of Indian scientists. In the general media's coverage of high technology in India, the emphasis is often on software engineering and the outsourcing of such engineering jobs from the U.S. to India. Other areas of science and technology, including chemistry, are also highly advanced in India, and C&EN's Business Department editors have written numerous stories on India's vibrant fine and custom chemical and pharmaceutical industries in the past several years. Yarnell echoes the themes of those stories in the introduction to the cover stories: "Fueled by a highly trained workforce of synthetic chemists, India is seriously challenging the U.S. and Europe for supremacy in producing active pharmaceutical ingredients, advanced intermediates, and other fine chemicals. It now hopes to do the same in innovation-intensive sectors, including drug discovery, biotechnology, and materials science." However, Yarnell also found that, while "India's academic scientists are finding it easier than ever to fund their research ... creative, groundbreaking science continues to be hindered by feudalism, bureaucracy, and a scientific culture that encourages submission and discourages risk-taking." Yarnell examines a number of trends in the Indian chemical enterprise. In the story on "Building R&D For Drug Discovery <http://pubs.acs.org/cen/coverstory/84/8412India1.html> ," she looks at efforts by Indian pharmaceutical companies to lure top expatriate chemists back to India to fuel their drug discovery efforts. She talked to a number of such chemists who have returned home, among them Pradip K. Bhatnagar, who had spent more than 35 years in the U.S. before leaving GlaxoSmithKline last summer to head up new drug discovery at Ranbaxy, India's largest drug company. "Indian pharma is on the cusp of exponential growth," Bhatnagar told Yarnell. "The facilities offered here are excellent, and the opportunities are unparalleled." On the other hand, many Indian academic institutions struggle to remain at the cutting edge of research. Yarnell reports that significant barriers to effective interdisciplinary research exist in Indian institutions. "India's scientists are forever worried that people will steal their ideas," says M. N. Gupta, a chemist at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology. "We need people who will take chances," says Gautam Desiraju, a chemist at the University of Hyderabad, who adds, "The Indian system is strangled by fear and mediocrity." Other problems facing the Indian chemical enterprise that Yarnell examines include the difficulty in attracting first-rate postdocs to Indian academic labs, archaic laboratory facilities in many institutions, and a divergence of undergraduate education and scientific research in most Indian universities. "The symbiosis between teaching and research sadly has been lost here in India," physicist Sushanta Dattagupta of Calcutta's Bose Center told Yarnell. "We've deprived our young students of access to our brightest scientists." Despite these problems, the sense one gets reading these stories is of a chemical enterprise that, like China's, is determined to become a force on the world stage. I think you will be impressed by the energy and enthusiasm expressed by the Indian chemists, chemical engineers, and other scientists who talked to Yarnell. DISCLAIMER: The series of five stories on the chemical enterprise in India is illustrated with numerous photographs taken by Yarnell on her visits to a variety of chemical laboratories. In many of the photographs, the chemists pictured are not wearing protective eyewear that would be required in the U.S. C&EN does not condone this inattention to appropriate safety standards. However, C&EN, as a newsmagazine, has a responsibility to portray situations as they exist, not as we wish they might be. Thanks for reading.
