On rural and small public libraries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 08 Jun '23

08 Jun '23

Friends, These three not-so-recent booklets may be of interest to those of you who want to promote the culture of public libraries, esp. small and rural public libraries.* These may also be of interest to State Library Associations (e.g. KALA), State Directorates of Public Libraries, and public and school librarians. [* There are some pockets of excellence in India, e.g. the many rural and school libraries in different parts of Karnataka. Ms Uma Mahadevan Dasgupta, a civil servant (currently Addl Chief Secretary), hass played a key role in transforming not only the school and rural libraries of the state but also the lives of tens of thousands of children. You can learn about her work by following her on Twitter.] 1.

by Subbiah Arunachalam 08 Jun '23

Friends, Here is an article in the latest issue of Science (AAAS) that should make all of us in higher education and research, not just in India but around the world, sad. https://www.science.org/content/article/did-nasty-publishing-scheme-help-in… .
