Village Library Project
by prafulla tv 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Dear All, I am happy to inform you that Shri Tulja Bhavani Granthalayam (STBG) is planned to be started in Bakkalingayapally Village, Achampet Mandal of Nagar Kurnoool district in Telangana State around Deepavali this year. This project is led by a young man Sri M. Babulal, a native of this village, who manages to eke out his living as an auto driver in Hyderabad. Recently, I happened to travel in Babulalji's auto carrying auto-full load of my books from home in Padmarao Nagar to Sundarayya Vignana Kendra (SVK), Gachibowli, Hyderabad for donation to this research & reference library. He was curious as to why I was taking so many books. When I told him that I am giving them away for public use, he said that he too wanted to do something for his village. Sri Babulal expressed keen desire to start a library in his village and he was very confident that his team of youth friends and well-wishers will lend their hands in day to day running of the library. He said that the present generation of young children should not suffer because of lack of educational facilities and he does not want them to undergo hardships he had passed through due to lack of higher education. He went back to his village and convinced the village sarpanch to offer free of cost a room in the Panchayat building. The village sarpanch promised all support for this project. I discussed this project with Sri Anumula Srinivas, a library activist based in Telangana who was the force behind the establishment of 11 village libraries in the Telugu speaking states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in recent times, who readily agreed to provide all the support. It may not be out of place to place on record the inspiration and support offered by Prof. N. Laxman Rao garu in starting of several villaglibraries in the form of books, furniture, almirahs, etc. I am pleased to inform you that so far we have received the following for STBG: 1. 2 glass paned book almirahs costing totally Rs.12000 from Smt. Tara Ashok Patny, presented in loving memory of her husband Late Sri Ashok Kumar Patny.2. Donation of Rs.5000 from Dr. V. Prakasam, Prof (Retd), English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad for the purchase of books3. Donation of Rs.5000 from Shri RV Ravishankar, Chennai We need funds for the purchase of reading table (1), sitting benches (2), stationery, books and subscription of mags & daily newspapers. In case of books donated/furniture, we will take care of pasting Donor Name stickers inside every book/on the furniture. We request you to kindly extend support to this project aimed at spreading the light of knowledge. Thanking you in advance T.V.

Fwd: Rights retention by researchers
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

*Sub: Universities and research institutions in India should adopt a Rights retension policy* Friends, Here is what the University of Edinburgh has done. https://libraryblogs.is.ed.ac.uk/openscholarship/2022/10/14/rights-retentio… It will be great if all academic and research institutions in India could consider adopting such a policy. Commenting on the development, *Peter Murray-Rust*, Cambridge University chemist, crystallographer and open science champion, says, "Yes, I've been following this as well and I think it will be an important theme in global OA Week (in a weeks' time). The key development here is that the UoE is setting out to formally challenge the publishers *in the courts*. Up until now the Universities have made declarations and protocols, and researchers who followed them have been overridden or ignored by publishers and everyone has said "oh dear, but we tried". This is the first time where OA has really set to defend itself. Ultimately the only things that publishers care about are income and the courts. As far as I know , no publisher has ever been fined for any irregularity in scholarly publishing. So their attitude has been "let's push the boundaries as far as we can (enclosure, copyfraud, etc.) and if we get pushback we'll say 'sorry'". Over 25 years I have seen Universities wimp out, both at first hand and Edinburgh is the first to show teeth. If Universities act collectively, it will spread and establish not only author rights, but Open Access rights in general. It must be widely supported." Regards.
