Their worry - "How Long Will America Lead the World?"
by Sukhdev Singh 09 Jun '06

Just want to quote from a Newsweek Business story: .."The national academies' report points out that China and India combined graduate 950,000 engineers every year, compared with 70,000 in America; that for the cost of one chemist or engineer in the U.S. a company could hire five chemists in China or 11 engineers in India; that of the 120 $1 billion-plus chemical plants being built around the world one is in the United States and 50 are in China.."

RE:IPR and copyright
by Byrappa, Ananda (GE, Research) 09 Jun '06

Kumar, There is no copyright violation in creating repository of your own institution's internal publications unless they are published externally. However, you need to have copyright clearance for the publications/documents already published externally (Journals/Conferences/workshops etc). As most of us know, off-late few major publishers have revised their copyright policies and now they would allow authors/institutions to retain and enable access to the published documents within the author's organization. Ofcourse, the rights differ from publisher to publisher. Its important to read latest copyright policies of publishers before you consider using their publications/documents. You may want to know that, some international organizations have "copyright transfer form" in place to ensure that publishers grant permission to authors/institutions to host the content within the organization at the time of submitting the manuscript for publication. This might be a solution for your future publications. Best Regards, Anand Ananda T.

[Fwd: Overcoming the obstacles of harvesting and searching digital

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Overcoming the obstacles of harvesting and searching digital repositories from federated searching toolkits, and embedding them in VLEs From: "MacLeod, Roderick A" <R.A.MacLeod(a)HW.AC.UK> Date: Thu, June 8, 2006 8:52 pm To: JISC-REPOSITORIES(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following paper, written by members of the PerX Project, part of the Digital Repositories Programme, may be of interest to members of this list. http://eprints.rclis.org/archive/00006394/ <http://eprints.rclis.org/archive/00006394/> Overcoming the obstacles of harvesting and searching digital repositories from federated searching toolkits, and embedding them in VLEs Chumbe, Santiago and MacLeod, Roddy and Barker, Phil and Moffat, Malcolm and Rist, Roger (2006) 2nd International Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems, Athens, Greece. Abstract This paper addresses two important needs. The first one is the need to alleviate the resource discovery task across digital repositories by subject, which includes the ability of searching heterogeneous sources that apply to a specific audience (e.g. engineering academics) or purpose (e.g. research, teaching) from one access point. The second need is to provide toolkits for federated searching which are able to be embedded in electronic learning environments used by lecturers, students and researchers. Most of these environments are institutional Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) and Portals. Our study will show that the satisfaction of both needs faces important obstacles. On one side, standard exchange formats such as Z39.50 or OAI, developed precisely to facilitate the transfer or sharing of data between computer systems, present obstacles that make the harvesting and searching of data from digital repositories a challenging process. On the other side, VLEs are often restricted in their ability to allow the sharing and re-use of external e-learning sources discovered by federated searching toolkits. A solution for these obstacles, based on a service-oriented architecture approach, is suggested and explored on a pilot system. The aim of our research is the realisation of the concept of flexible federated searching. The intention is that the VLE user should be able to use whatever search tool he/she likes for whatever repositories he/she needs to search, without concern for how the tool and the repositories manage to communicate, or how the tool makes search results available to other VLE components. The pilot system attempts to demonstrate that most of the flexible federated searching concept can be achieved by making proper use of current interoperability standards for digital repositories and e-learning systems.

Re: [bytesforall_readers] India-linked open access journals on doaj.org
by Subbiah Arunachalam 08 Jun '06

08 Jun '06

Dear Fred and friends: Over 80 Indian journals are open access journals. These include all 11 journals published by the Indian Academy of Sciences, four published by the Indian National Science Academy, Indian Journal of Medical Research (ICMR), three journals published by the Calicut Medical College, and 38 journals whose OA version is brought out by NIC and thirty journals whose OA versions are published by MedKnow Publications, Bombay. Where we are lagging behind is in setting up and filling institutional open access archives. The Indian Institute of Science was probably the first Indian institution to set up an institutional archive. Earlier to that, way back in 1997, Institute of Mathematical Sciences set up a mirror site for arXiv, the well-known physics archive. One Indian institution, NIT, Rourkela, has mandated open access for all the faculty and student research publications including M Tech and Ph D theses. NIT-R is the sixth institution in the world to mandate OA. Funding agencies supporting scientific research such as DST, DBT, DSIR, CSIR and UGC are, for some reason, reluctant to mandate open access for publications resulting from projects funded by them. A private company [Informatics India, B'lore] has a free service called Open J-Gate which helps anyone with an internet connection to access full text of papers published in all Indian and foreign open access journals. Efforts are afoot at Perhaps we should appeal to the members of the Parliamentary Standing Committee for Science & Technology and Environment and request them to bring about a suitable legislation mandating open access for all publicly funded research. I think that the Left parties may support the idea readily. Best wishes.

why cant we change Mlisc degree to MSc degree
by srini vasulu 08 Jun '06

08 Jun '06

Dear lis-forum members, Really i felt very sad when people(some) asked me what is Mlisc. So every time i had to explain what is Mlisc and what we study in this degree. what i feel is better we change this Mlisc degree to MSc degree, and there wont be any confusion for non-library background people. Mlisc has been included under science stream in allmost all universities and some universities are giving degrees under MSc for example kuvempu university in karnataka. And one important thing i noticed is there is discrimination between Library science and some arts subjects . For example people study Geography under Arts stream in degree, but in PG it is included under science stream and degrees are awarded with MSc., even this holds good for Psychology also, they also study Psychology under Arts in degree and under science stream in PG. why this discrimination only for library science. So i request all Library science faculty to pressure higher authorities,VCs to change MLisc to Msc., I hope all lis-forum members will support my move and unite together for a good cause. Lets hope other University heads take a leaf out of Kuvempu university and change Mlisc degree to MSc., degree. with regards, srinvasulu.b Information and Knowledge Management(IKM) Trainee 2005-07, National Centre for Science Information, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore-12 -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.as…
