by MN Seetharaman 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

Dear Moderator, I shall be grateful if you could post the following announcement of Curran Associates Inc., New York, who are the world's premier conference proceedings specialists and have been supplying proceedings published by 500 scholarly societies, professional associations and publishers to libraries around the world since 1984. Thanking you, Yours sincerely, M.N. SeetharamanCountry Representative of Curran Associates in India ======================================================================================================================= CURRAN ASSOCIATES INC., REDHOOK, NEW YORK, USA To Our Valued Customers, Published proceedings of international conferences organized by scholarly societies, professional associations and other publishers are considered as vital sources of information about new research breakthroughs, innovations, methodologies and best practices, particularly in the fields of science, engineering and technology. It is only at important national and international conferences that these research findings are reported and debated for the first time long before their formal publication in journals etc. Therefore, conference proceedings have become as one of the most essential ingredients for the success of scientific, technical and academic research and training. For more than 25 years, Curran Associates Inc. has been one of the world’s premier conference proceedings specialists. In recent years, many conference proceedings have shifted from printed format to electronic. Though electronic media provides some advantage, there are many users who prefer print. In order to continue to satisfy our library clients that prefer print, Curran Associates has secured agreements with hundreds of publishers to produce printed versions of conference proceedings from their electronic media. These printed versions are not available from the original publishers. The books are printed and assembled with a perfect bind, using a soft cover (100# semigloss cover stock). They are professional, sturdy, clean, and filled with the same research provided on the electronic media. For an updated listing of all of our titles, please visit our website at www.proceedings.com, where you can browse by publisher or by thirteen different categories. Please check back from time to time, as we are continually adding new titles. We look forward to continuing our relationship and working with you to satisfy your unmet needs for printed conference proceedings. Regards, Dave Curran 57 Morehouse Lane Red Hook, NY 12571 USA Ph: 845-758-0400 Fx: 845-758-2633 www.proceedings.com Ordering Information Curran Associates, Inc. 57 Morehouse Lane Red Hook, NY 12571 USA Phone: +1-845-758-0400 /Fax: +1-845-758-2633curran(a)proceedings.com or through any local booksellers. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

One Day Training Programme on Digital Content Copyright: Challenges to Libraries
by Shibu Ray. S 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

Sir, Kindly circulate the mail to all users. Inter University Centre for IPR Studies, in association with HRD Chair on IPR, Cochin University of Science and Technology & Kerala Library Association, Ernakulam region is conducting One Day Training Programme on Digital Content Copyright: Challenges to Libraries Date : September 17, 2011 Venue : Cochin University of Science and Technology Objectives of the One Day Training Programme Historically, libraries assume a major role in the process of information dissemination. They always tried to balance the promotion of access to information and the interests of the publishers and authors. This is upset with the advent of new technologies. The challenges to be addressed by the libraries in the near future centers around digitization of copyright contents, which permits multiple use and reduces copyright owners’ control over works. Technological Protection Measures (TPM) and restriction on permitted uses are some of the modes used to overcome this. However, these measures jeopardize the freedom of libraries to facilitate access to information, which is the main objective of copyright protection. This awareness programme attempts to shed light on the challenges posed by the Indian Copyright Act on the functions of libraries. Technical Sessions • General Introduction to Copyright Law • The Role of Libraries in Information Dissemination under the Indian Copyright Act • Technological Protection Measures and its impact on Libraries Target Audience The training programme is essentially targeted to the Library professionals and LIS students. Individuals concerned with copyright laws related to libraries and information centres would also benefit from the programme. Registration: Registration Fees: Free (Working Lunch and Tea will be provided). Seats Limited to 50 on first come first serve basis. Last date for registration : August 31, 2011 For detailed programme and online registration visit http://ciprs.cusat.ac.in/dcccl.php Address for communication: Director, Inter University Centre for IPR Studies, School of Legal Studies Building, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Cochin University P.O., Cochin - 682022, Kerala.
