Psychologists regularly use this technique to help their clients deal with mild mental health issues and behavioural problems in their clinical setup. In this workshop librarians will learn about the dynamics of bibliotherapy conducted in environs of the library. They will get to explore the possibilities of collaboration with Psychologists to build a new range of reading services and activities for the benefit of the library patrons. *Objectives of the workshop* 1. To introduce the concept of bibliotheraphy 2. To demonstrate the process of bibliotheraphy sessions in a library setting 3.

Combating predatory academic journals and conferences
by Subbiah Arunachalam 18 Mar '22

18 Mar '22

Friends, The Inter Academy Partnership has just released a report on Combating Predatory academic journals and conferences. Please see https://www.interacademies.org/sites/default/files/2022-03/1.%20Full%20repo… This report should be of interest to researchers and librarians everywhere, and especially India, as India is often referred to as the home for a large number of such journals and the UGC had to bring out a white list of journals. Best wishes.

Why are both UGC- CARE List of Journals and Good Academic Research Practices (GARP) Archaic?
by Vasanth 17 Mar '22

17 Mar '22

Dear Sir/Madam, This paper discusses the limitations of Good Academic Research Practices (GARP) and UGC-CARE List in engaging with the emerging scholarly open publishing platforms, specifically preprints. This paper throws some light on preprints and their role in accelerating science communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. The UGC’s opaqueness towards emerging open publishing platforms in its GARP document and propagating traditional scholarly publications through UGC-CARE List has also been deliberated. Full text can be accessed at: http://confluence.ias.ac.in/why-are-both-ugc-care-list-of-journals-and-good… ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.LibrarianMysore

Good practices for university open-access policies
by Subbiah Arunachalam 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Friends, It is a bad policy to surrender copyright to one's research papers to journal publishers. Please inform researchers - faculty and students and other scientific and technical staff - and administrators (Vice Chancellors, Directors, Principals, Deans, Heads of Departments, etc.) in your institutions that they could retain copyright to the papers they publish. Prof. Peter Suber of Harvard University recommends the Berkman Klein Center's Guide to good practices for university OA policies, which focuses on the rights-retention approach. Please visit http://bit.ly/goodoa . This guide, written and edited byPeter Suber and Stuart Shieber in consultation with many OA experts, is based on the type of rights-retention OA policy first adopted at Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and the University of Kansas. Policies of this kind have since been adopted at a wide variety of institutions <https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_re…> in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia, for example, at public and private institutions, large and small institutions, affluent and indigent institutions, research universities and liberal arts colleges, and at whole universities, schools within universities, and departments within schools. Can a journal reject a paper if the author wants to retain copyright? Says Prof. Peter Suber, "As far as I know, no publisher has ever rejected a submission just because it was covered by a Harvard-style rights-retention OA policy. There are at least 85 universities in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia with these kinds of rights-retention policies." The Guide is endorsed by many international organizations involved in scholarly communication, but by NONE so far from India. Indeed, it would be great if funding agencies such as DST, DBT, CSIR, UGC, ICAR, and ICMR and Academies such as INSA, IASc, NASI, NAAS, INAE, etc. endorse this Guide and make it widely known to individual researchers and institutions they support. Best wishes.
