Fw: Funder Grant Conditions, Fundee/Institutional Compliance, and 3rd-Party Gobbledy-Gook
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 Jul '09

Here is a posting by Heather Morrison heatherm(a)ELN.BC.CA. AMERICAN-SCIENTIST-OPEN-ACCESS-FORUM(a)LISTSERVER.SIGMAXI.ORG Sent: Tuesday, 30 June, 2009 14:12:34 Subject: Re: Funder Grant Conditions, Fundee/Institutional Compliance, and 3rd-Party Gobbledy-Gook At the ELPUB conference in June I saw a demonstration of the Microsoft "upload" function. This will be a free plug-in to allow researchers to seamlessly deposit into as many open access repositories as they desire, using SWORD. This is not meant as a plug for Microsoft, as no doubt there will soon be many flavours of SWORD; this is just one illustration of how SWORD will soon make it very, very easy for researchers to deposit their own work for open access. So if publishers do not wish to take on the function of loading articles into open access repositories, this is a short-term problem. In the longer term, this could be more of a problem for the publishers themselves. That is, once researchers are not only doing the writing and peer reviewing the work of others, but also completing and disseminating themselves the version that is most accessible and hence most likely to be read, they might begin to wonder what is that publishers do, exactly. This would be a fine thing for scholarship, in my opinion. Any opinion expressed in this e-mail is that of the author alone, and does not represent the opinion or policy of BC Electronic Library Network or Simon Fraser University Library.

All, We are looking to implement Koha at few medium to large libraries as a technology show case or case study. We will do such implementations at no cost to the library. Currently we are offering this for one library at Bangalore only. The library must: * have more than 1 lac items * must be willing to move all processes - circulation, cataloging, serials, reporting and acquisitions to Koha * be willing to commit resources to complete the implementation quickly * be willing to commit resources to host and maintain the installation for a period of 3 years * be willing to develop detailed customization specifications * have existing server hardware or willing to invest in it * host koha on a publicly available ip We will prefer to do this for public or non-profit libraries or those that can demonstrate paucity of funds.
