Promotion to the post of University Librarian under UGC-CAS
by Anand Dodamani 13 Jul '17

13 Jul '17

Dear All, Greetings. The recent promotion of Dr. Ravi B. the Dy. Librarian, Central University of Hyderabad to the post of Librarian (University Librarian) under UGC-CAS has put all speculations surrounding the issue to rest . This is the first such promotion in the history of university libraries in India, I believe. With this breakthrough promotion, now a university can have more than one Librarian at Professor's Grade. Till the time, the administrators in many universities were reluctant to promote the eligible Deputy Librarians to the the post of Librarian in-spite of having the crystal clear guidelines (of UGC) in this regard. I congratulate Dr. Ravi for his promotion and the authorities of the Central University of Hyderabad for this historic decision. I hope the other universities will follow suit. Now the question is : who will lead the library when there are more than one post of Librarian at place? Whether the role of leadership will be on rotation basis or the present leadership (Librarian) continues to lead the team with different designation such as 'Director' as practiced in few prominent universities in Maharashtra. I would love to hear your thoughts. With regards, *Anand Dodamani* *TISS, Mumbai* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear All, FYI Regards, S M Pujar Deputy Librarian, IGIDR, Mumbai ================================================ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jul 13, 2017 at 4:00 AM Subject: Course packs for education ruled legal in India To: LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu From: Teresa Hackett <teresa.hackett(a)eifl.net> Date: Wed, Jul 12, 2017 at 8:16 AM ** Apologies for cross-posting** Course packs for education ruled legal in India Supreme Court ruling a huge triumph for access to educational materials in India On 9 May 2017, a five year court battle between publishers and universities finally came to an end when the Supreme Court of India dismissed an appeal by the Indian Reprographic Rights Organization (IRRO) challenging an earlier judgment of Delhi High Court that ruled course packs in India legal for educational purposes. In a case that gained wide international attention, issues such as the cost of textbooks in India were raised, students agitated for fair access to educational materials, and the jurisprudence on copyright in India has taken a leap forward. In this guest blog, Anubha Sinha, Programme Officer on Openness and Access to Knowledge at the Centre for Internet and Society India, discusses the judgment in the case known as the ‘Delhi University photocopy’ case, and what it means for access to educational materials in India.

Fwd: DOAB (Directory of Open Access Books): now over 8, 000 books from over 200 publishers
by Subbiah Arunachalam 10 Jul '17

10 Jul '17

From: Julie Therizols <julie.therizols(a)openedition.org> Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2017 11:26:46 +0200 New Features, New Publishers and Growth Growth and new publishers We now have over 8000 books from over 200 publishers listed in DOAB. We are happy to say DOAB consistently features among the fastest growing OA resources in the blog post on ‘Dramatic Growth of Open Access’ <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…> by Heather Morrison in The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics. This year DOAB features as number one and two in growth by percentage, with a 68% growth for books and 40% for publishers in the past year. Since the start of 2017, we have added 50 new publishers to DOAB. An important contribution to this year’s growth is thanks to our cooperation with OpenEdition <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…>, who added the OA books of 26 new publishers, among others: Presses Sorbonne Nouvelle, Presses universitaires d'Aix-Marseille and Presses universitaires de Rennes. Other new publishers listed in DOAB in 2017 are: LIBRUM Publishers, University of North Texas Press, Edition Open Access, Carl Grossmann Verlag, Heidelberg University Publishing and through our cooperation with SciELO: Editus and Editora UEPG. New features DOAB: chapter level metadata and ONIX import DOAB is taking part in a European Horizon 2020 project (HIRMEOS), to develop a certification service for OA book publishers. As part of this project, new features are being added to DOAB. It is now possible to distinguish between chapters and books. A chapter is clearly indicated at the publication’s record. Also, funder information is now included in the metadata. Have a look at this example <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…> of a chapter where both additions are in place. Another important new feature of DOAB is the possibility for publishers to get their publications and metadata indexed in DOAB through ONIX XML import. If you are a publisher in DOAB and would like to know more about ONIX import, please contact our technical coordinator Ronald Snijder. <r.snijder(a)oapen.org> FWF certifies DOAB sponsor De Gruyter as publisher for open access books Researchers affiliated with FWF (Austrian Science Fund) <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e…>, who choose to publish their research output in pure open access with DOAB publisher and sponsor De Gruyter <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e1…>, can have publication costs fully covered by FWF. The program helps authors focus on their research, while paperwork and payments are processed jointly by the FWF and the publisher. The offer applies to articles, books and book chapters, provided the main/corresponding author’s Institution is affiliated with the FWF. All open access books published by De Gruyter are indexed by DOAB <http://doabooks.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=314fa411ba5eaaee7244c95e…> .
