VijayRaghavan, FRS, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India on India’s March towards Open Access to Knowledge: Challenges, Initiatives, and Policy Interventions Date & Time: 25 Oct 2019, Friday, 4.00 to 5.30 pm (High Tea: 5.30 pm) Venue: Biological Sciences Auditorium, IISc The session will be chaired by: Prof. Ajay K Sood, FRS President of Indian National Science Academy (INSA) Honorary Professor at Indian Institute of Science Kindly, RSVP here: https://bit.ly/2J753Mt Open Access seeks to return scholarly publishing to its original purpose: to spread knowledge and allow that knowledge to be built upon. Price barriers should not prevent students, researchers (or anyone) from getting access to research they need. Open Access, and the open availability and searchability of scholarly research that it entails, will have a significant positive impact on everything from education to the practice of medicine to the ability of entrepreneurs to innovate International Open Access Week (October 21-27, 2019) is a global, community-driven week of action to open access to research and knowledge in general. The event is celebrated by individuals, institutions and organizations across the world and its organization is led by a global advisory committee. This is an important opportunity to catalyze new conversations, create connections across and between communities that can facilitate this co-design, and advance progress to build more equitable foundations for opening knowledge. The above event is jointly organized by the Centre for Society and Policy, The DST-Centre for Policy Research and JRD Tata Memorial Library at IISc.

by T. Shahab .TANWIR 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

Dear Sirs, This is to seek the attention of the library professional fraternity concerning the issue of book purchases through online portals, such as Amazon, Flipkart, etc. Can online portals become an alternative to the conventional method of face-to- face dealing with book-suppliers/vendors/distributors/suppliers? Can large academic and research libraries rely for their major acquisition activities on online portals? Requesting informative discussion on this subject. Thanks & regards, T. Shahab HMS Central library Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
