[Fwd: OA mandated by the Parliament of Ukraine]

Friends: When are we going to mandate open access to science and scholarship in India? Subbiah Arunachalam Developing National Open Access Policies: An Ukrainian Case Study Iryna Kuchma Social Capital and Academic Publications Program, International Renaissance Foundation 46 Artema str., Kyiv, 04053, Ukraine e-mail: kuchma(a)irf.kiev.ua Abstract *Since January 2007 Ukraine has a law mandating open access to publicly funded researches.* It was widely supported by most of the Parliament members. And it is already the second parliamentary inquiry mandating the Cabinet of Ministers to take actions on creating favourable conditions for developing open access repositories in archives, libraries, museums, scientific and research institutions with open access condition to state funded researches. And for the second time the implementation of this law was interrupted by the political crises. Grass root initiatives of Ukrainian Universities and libraries as well as the political support from the principle legislative body in the country have still not resulted into a single well-functioning institutional/national repository. The poster highlights the developments that have taken place, actions for the years to come and recommendations for the countries that are in circumstances that can be compared to Ukraine. http://elpub.scix.net/data/works/att/135_elpub2007.content.pdf -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Taiwan airport offers e-library
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Airports across the world have created a myriad of innovative ways to keep their passengers entertained, from airport spray tanning in London to an airport wedding service in Amsterdam. Now Taiwan's international airport has put a high-tech twist on airport reading — with the world’s first airport library for ebooks. The e-library, based in Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, has four hundred titles in its collection — available in English or Chinese, and in ePub or Zinio formats — which can be read in the airport, but not taken away or downloaded onto the user's own device. Set up by Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou, the library is run by the airport duty-free shop, and was created in collaboration with Taiwan's government-funded Institute for Information Industry, costing over NTD 3 million. There are currently only thirty devices on which passengers can read the ebooks, which, as an article on ARN points out, is limiting when considering that the airport handles up to 17 million passengers a year. Whilst publishing house Harper Collins has placed a limit on the number of times their ebooks can be downloaded in libraries, initiatives such as this imply that ebooks could become an integral part of library services in the future. How can you help to bring digital publishing to the masses? (Related: Ordered on iPads, meals are delivered to the gate at NY airports — Colour ebook reader for kids.)
