An Appeal to Observe Librarians’ Day 2013 Believably all are aware and will appreciate that IASLIC, the premier national professional society in the field of LIS took the pioneering step to observe the Birth Anniversary of the father of Library Science, Dr. S. R. Ranganathan every year befittingly to pay homage and tribute to this illustrious Guru of ours. 12th August, stands as the sacred date to us to observe by organizing seminar, symposium, discussion, etc. or in the manner it may be feasible in a situation / environment. Since it is IASLIC which initiated and thought it prudent to observe this Birth Anniversary first in the country, IASLIC appeals to its members staying in all parts of the country kindly to take initiative to organize themselves and observe “Librarians’ Day 2013” (Ranganathan’s Birth Anniversary) in any form as the situation may warrant.

Discussion on Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes required by Librarians for Open Access
by Mailing List Admin 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 10:52:59 +0530 From: Sridhar Gutam <gutam2000(a)gmail.com> I am currently assisting the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) in developing Curriculum and Self-Directed Learning (SDL) Tool for Open Access for researchers and library and information professionals as a project of UNESCO. The UNESCO adopted Open Access strategy in 2011, and with effect from 1 July 2013 it has become fully Open Access. Capacity building to promote Open Access is one of the important strands of the UNESCO strategy. The UNESCO Open Access Forum 2011 also recommended training of young researchers and library professionals on Open Access. As a first step, we would like to seek help of experts though a discussion on this platform to identify Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes needed for Open Access by Library and Information Professionals and Researchers. So, we will have two strands of discussion: One for Librarians and the other for Researchers. This week we start with training needs for Librarians� Librarians play a significant role in providing access to peer reviewed information published in journals and help manage local repositories. Sometime back we did a Delphi study with select experts, which revealed the following as key areas for the librarians to study: Module 1: Foundations 1. Introduction to Open Access: Definition, types (green, gold, delayed), OA journals (gold and hybrid), OA books, OA repositories, benefits, barriers (publisher resistance), philosophy of access to knowledge, disciplinary trends; Open Access Policy development, including funder policies 2. Copyrights and licensing mechanisms for Open Access, such as the creative commons licenses, copyleft and publishers' embargo in self-archiving Module 2: Practical Options and Systems 3. Repositories and issues involved in creating and maintaining repositories, author self-archiving 4. Open Access Journal publishing systems and processes Module 3: Initiatives, Implications and Issues 5. Searching of Open Access information (Vehicles for Open Access: OAIster and other Open Access Search Engines, PubMed), Metadata related issues, SHERPA RoMEO, DOAJ, DOAB, GOAP, OA Map, etc. 6. Impact of Open Access on dissemination of knowledge, citation advantages, estimating impact; Changing practices in scholarly communication, including open peer review, emerging approaches to recognition of scholarly works 7. Implications of online-only format for long-term preservation of OA content (Google Books, Internet Archive, Hathi Trust, other non-U.S. large initiatives) While this is useful, we need to identify the Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes to develop the curriculum and content learning materials. You may also like to comment on the suitability of the above topics. If you want to share more on the topic privately, kindly do so in the emails: smishra.col(a)gmail.com and barna.chakrabarti(a)gmail.com With Regards, Barnali Roy Choudhury Project Associate (Open Access) Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia 13/14 Sarv Priya Bihar New Delhi 110016 www.cemca.org
