We welcome our panellists: Etienne Roesch who will present a national network approach with the UK Reproducibility Network, Caleb Kibet will bring in perspectives from bioinformatics and Kenya and Anita Eerland will consider university-based community-building, and experience with a scholarly society committed to openness and improving research practices.

An 'unburnable' copy of 'The Handmaid's Tale' could fetch $100K at auction
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Should be of interest to our LIS community. Long Read. See note at the end. Original contains a photo of the author trying to burn the 'unburnable' book . ========= An 'unburnable' copy of 'The Handmaid's Tale' could fetch $100K at auction Published 7th June 2022 Credit: Sotheby's An 'unburnable' copy of 'The Handmaid's Tale' could fetch $100K at auction Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" has often provoked controversy, facing book bans over the decades since its release in 1985. Now in efforts to raise awareness around increasing censorship and a surge in book-banning efforts in American schools, Atwood and publisher Penguin Random House have released a single "unburnable" copy of the seminal novel, a dystopian tale about a theocracy that forces fertile women to bear children for the privileged. And it's been tested by Atwood with an actual flamethrower. "I never thought I'd be trying to burn one of my own books... and failing," she wrote on Twitter, adding it was her "first time" using the device. Margaret Atwood using a flamethrower on the "unburnable" version of "The Handmaid's Tale." Credit: Sotheby's The fireproof version is being auctioned by Sotheby's New York on Wednesday with a high estimate of $100,000. Proceeds will go towards PEN America, a literary and free expression advocacy organization, which recently released a report finding that 1,586 books were banned in US schools over a nine-month period from July 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022. Texas led the country with the most book bans -- 713 -- affecting 16 school districts, the report said. Last year the state's governor Greg Abbott called on school boards to remove books he described as "pornography." Pennsylvania and Florida had 456 and 204 bans, respectively. PEN America defines a book ban as "any action taken against a book based on its content" that leads to the removal or restriction of a previously accessible title. "The Handmaid's Tale" was among titles targeted for sexual or health-related content, while a "disproportionate" number of bans focused on stories relating to LGBTQ+ people and people of color, according to PEN America. Such bans reflect a broader conservative movement to restrict how subjects like race, gender and sexual orientation are taught in public schools. Upon first glance, the special edition looks like any other printed paper-and-ink work, but it is made of nickel wire, stainless steel, aluminum and fire-resistant inks. It was created by the graphic arts studio The Gas Company Inc. and creative agency Rethink. "'The Handmaid's Tale' has been banned many times," Atwood said in a press release announcing the sale. "Let's hope we don't reach the stage of wholesale book burnings, as in 'Fahrenheit 451'," she added, referencing the acclaimed 1953 novel in which books are destroyed to preserve a totalitarian version of America. "But if we do, let's hope some books will prove unburnable -- that they will travel underground, as prohibited books did in the Soviet Union." Suzanne Nossel, the CEO of PEN America, added, "In the face of a determined effort to censor and silence, this unburnable book is an emblem of our collective resolve to protect books, stories and ideas from those who fear and revile them. We are thankful to be able to deploy the proceeds of this auction to fortify this unprecedented fight for books." ======== Copied from: https://edition.cnn.com/style/article/the-handmaids-tale-unburnable-book-so… The tag jr=on after ? in the link above indicates: Clean / Plain text extracted, eliminating images / advertisements and other junk, using a widget called JustRead!

Re: [LIS-Forum] OA repositories in India
by Francis Jayakanth 06 Jun '22

06 Jun '22

To date, about 55,500 Indian Institute of Science (IISc) articles have been uploaded to the IISc's institutional repository, ePrints@IISc (eprints.iisc.ac.in). IISc has roughly 62K items in the Scopus database, which spans the years 1908 to 2022. So, the ePrints@IISc repository has a bit more than 90% coverage of IISc publications. In terms of full-text inclusion in the repository, it's somewhere between 80 and 85 percent. Regards, Francis ________________________________ From: Sathyanarayana NV <sathya(a)informaticsglobal.com> Sent: 23 May 2022 06:46 To: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com>; mu.madhan(a)gmail.com <mu.madhan(a)gmail.com>; Francis Jayakanth <francis(a)iisc.ac.in> Subject: Re: OA repositories in India External Email What is the measure of completeness? 1. Complete bibliographic listing of all papers published by the authors affiliated with the institution during their tenure? 2. Or, full-text for all papers with bibliographic description. If the first criteria of the measure are #1, I can say the IR of the Indian Academy of Science, Bangalore is complete. Francis can say whether IISc is complete by any of these measures? It is hard to expect any IR of older institutions like IISc to be complete by criteria #2 even if the process of author archiving practice is effectively in place.
