FYI. -----Original Message----- From: An informal open list set up by UKSG - Connecting the Information Community On Behalf Of Anna-Lena Johansson Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 3:37 PM Subject: Support the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) Support the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) Since the launch of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) in May 2003, the service has received much attention from the library community all over the world. The number of journals included in the directory has risen from approximately 300 to over 7500 and the number is continuously growing. All content can be harvested and integrated into the library's own collection. The University Library at Lund University has on a voluntary basis developed and operates the service. The development of the DOAJ has been partly funded by, amongst others, the Open Society Institute, but from January 1st 2007 no further significant funding was available. In the long run my organization can not commit to the necessary funding without external contributions. We thus rely on your support to DOAJ. A DOAJ membership offers you a tremendous opportunity to generate goodwill and support the Open Access movement as well as earn the appreciation of librarians and publishers. http://www.doaj.org http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=membership&uiLanguage=en Membership Benefits Acknowledgement as a DOAJ Member on the DOAJ Membership Page Access to the list of recently added titles Subscription to e-mail list for DOAJ members Access to list of removed titles The right to use the DOAJ membership in marketing activities Categories and calender year Fees Individuals: Euro 110 Libraries, Universities, Research Centers: Euro 440 Library Consortia, Library Associations: Euro 4 400 Aggregators and other Service Providers: Euro 5 500 Kindest regards, Björn Wittenmark Björn Wittenmark Acting Head Librarian Lund University Libraries --------------- Dr. J.

by Ramesh C Gaur 16 May '12

16 May '12

Central Library Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Cordially invites you to the 5th Library Lecture Series and Outreach Programme Topic Depleting Archives and Disintegrating Histories Speaker Ms. Shilpi Rajpal PhD Scholar Department of History University of Delhi Chairperson Prof. Mridula Mukherjee Professor Centre for Historical Studies, School of Social Sciences Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi-110067, INDIA. Date: Wednesday, 16th May 2012 at 3:00 pm Venue: Committee Room, Central Library, JNU, New Delhi About the Talk The proposed talk is based on personal experiences of the researcher in various archives and libraries of India. It was her doctoral research that brought her face to face with the working of the Indian archives. The Public Record Act which was passed in 1993 regulates the management, administration and preservation of public records. The talk will highlight weaknesses in the Public Record Act in dealing with present scenario. The Researcher believes that various government departments have little clue regarding the preservation and maintenance of the valuable historical documents that are being look after by them. The art of conserving, classifying and weeding out of these documents largely remains unknown to most of them. It would not be an exaggeration to state that the Indian archives are facing a deep crisis as far the maintenance of its public records is concerned. The talk reveals the dismal condition of archives in India. It further seeks new ways i.e. what more needs to be done in order to preserve the documental legacy of India. About the Speaker Ms. Shilpi Rajpal is PhD Scholar in the Department of History, University of Delhi. At present, she is in final phase of her thesis writing entitled ‘ Madness and Delinquency in Colonial North India ’ 1850-1947’.
