Kindly post the following message on Lis Forum Ratnakar New Delhi A great number of people work endlessly behind the scene helping those involved in publishing (both research papers and journals). These persons without any labelled qualifications from Library or Information fields still deserve to be called "Informtion Managers, Providers ec". One such person was Riki Krishnan working on the editorial staff of the journal "Current Science". After bravely fighting Cancer for more than fifteen months (during which time his work or enthusiam to collect archival material never diminished) Riki passed away on 19th March 2010. His contributions and qualities are best revealed by Prof. Balkaram in the editorial of Current Science (Vol.28, No.6, 25th March 2010, P731). http://www.ias.ac.in/currsci/25mar2010/731.pdf Reading this should be an inspirtion for all those working in the informtion field.

Fw: Copyright for Librarians
by Shamprasad Pujar 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

Dear Members, A very good online open curriculum on Copyright for Librarians. Please see the details in the forwarded e-mail. Regards, Dr S.M. Pujar Deputy Librarian IGIDR, Mumbai ===================== -- Original Message -- From: "Teresa Hackett (eIFL)" <teresa.hackett(a)eifl.net> To: ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 16:22:15 +0000 Subject: [IFLA-L] Launch of "Copyright for Librarians" - an Online Open Curriculum on Copyright Law PRESS RELEASE March 24, 2010 Cambridge, Mass., and Rome, Italy Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society and eIFL.net Launch "Copyright for Librarians", an Online Open Curriculum on Copyright Law The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University today announced the launch of a new online, open access curriculum, Copyright for Librarians (http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/copyrightforlibrarians/), developed in conjunction with eIFL.net. Copyright for Librarians aims to inform librarians about copyright law in general, as well as the aspects of copyright law that most affect libraries, especially those in developing and transition countries. Copyright law directly affects library services providing access to learning resources, scientific and research information, said Rima Kupryte, Director eIFL.net. Everyday librarians are managing information and responding to requests from students, academics, and members of the public. They are well placed to provide practical advice on topical copyright-related issues. This curriculum, which includes modules on the scope of copyright law, exceptions and limitations and managing rights, provides librarians from around the world with an opportunity to understand this important area of law. Librarians and their professional organisations play key roles in shaping national and international copyright policy and in protecting and promoting access to knowledge, said William Fisher, faculty director of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, eIFL.net has created a crucial network of librarians in developing and transition countries. It is essential that the members of that network have the fullest possible understanding, not just of the current copyright laws, but also of the ways in which those laws could and should be interpreted and modified in the future. We hope that this curriculum will help to advance that understanding. Maximising access to educational and learning materials is critical for development in Africa, said Benson Njobvu, University of Zambia. Teaching students about legal information issues enhances the role of the librarian, preparing the next generation for a professional career in the digital age. We aim to produce librarians who will become well-informed advocates for access to knowledge. Copyright for Librarians is a valuable new resource that will help us to achieve our goal. The course materials of Copyright for Librarians nine modules organised into five different levels can be used as the basis for a self-taught course, a traditional classroom-based course, or as a distance-learning course. For more information and access to the course materials, visit: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/copyrightforlibrarians/ eIFL.net is grateful to the Ford Foundation for their support of the development of Copyright for Librarians.
