Correction to my earlier post on OA books from the MIT Press
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 Aug '24

01 Aug '24

Friends, First my apologies for posting some incorrect information on the MIT Press books that are available on open access. It was first brought to my attention by Dr Francis Jayakanth. Thank you Francis. Here is an excerpt from a letter from a senior member of the MIT Press staff: "There are gated/non-OA books on our MIT Press Direct platform in addition to our open access titles. If you wish to view just the open access titles that are available on our platform, please visit http://mitpress.mit.edu/d2o_books. That list should update automatically as new OA titles are added. If you wish to catalog our open access titles and can use MARC <https://direct.mit.edu/books/pages/MARC-records> records or KBART <https://direct.mit.edu/books/pages/KBART> to do so, we make those available for direct download on our site. Here they are as well: - MARC records are available in three formats: .mrc <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/MARC/OA_MITDirect_MRC.zip> | .mrk <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/MARC/OA_MITDirect_MRK.zip> | .mrk8 <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/MARC/OA_MITDirect_MRK8.zip> - KBART Open Access Collection: csv <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/KBART/MITPressDirect_OpenAccess.zip> | txt <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/KBART/mitpr_Direct_OpenAccess.txt> We also work with a number of the major discovery services (Clarivate/ProQuest/ExLibris, EBSCO Discovery Service, and OCLC WorldCat/WMS) to make our open access books available as a collection." **** In addition, for libraries in India which would like to be participating libraries in the D2O programme, the MIT Press has a special rate (applicable to lower middle income economies according to the World Bank classification. With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

Status of the Million Books of India project
by Subbiah Arunachalam 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

Friends, Canada has launched a wonderful digitization project. Please see: https://internetarchivecanada.org/2024/07/01/internet-archive-canada-launch… . We in India did start one way back in 2000 when IISc's Prof. N Balakrishnan (known as Balki), with the support of the redoubtable Prof. Raj Reddy and President Abdul Kalam, initiated the Million Books Project of India (see his YouTube talk on The Digital Library of India and its Journey). Does anyone know of the current status of the project? I would like to know about it. The National Digital Library of India maintained by IITKh appears to be essentially an education portal largely focused on textbooks and examinations (at all levels). There are several other digitization projects in India, many specializing on content in individual languages such as Srujanika in Oudiya and Project Madurai in Tamil. It will be a good idea for an enterprising student to write a doctoral or master's thesis on digitization efforts in India. Any takers? With best wishes, Arun
