Making Efforts from India to join EIFL
by Sridhar Gutam 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Dear Librarians, For the enabling access to knowledge in India for education, learning, research and for sustainable livelihoods, I am convinced that India should join EIFL <http://www.eifl.net/>. I am sending this mail to you all to have your opinion on this issue. >From the EIFL site, I could see that their programmes are on 1. EIFL-Licensing: Through central negotiation with publishers, EIFL negotiates highly discounted prices and fair terms of use to increase access to scholarly material which is essential for research and education. 2. EIFL-OA: Open access: EIFL advocates for the adoption of open access policies and mandates. EIFL also builds capacities to launch and sustain open access repositories. 3. EIFL-IP: Copyright and libraries: EIFL seeks to address these issues by promoting fair and balanced copyright laws that support libraries in providing access to knowledge. 4. EIFL-FOSS: Free and open source software for libraries: EIFL supports the deployment of free and open source software and provides the necessary training, enabling libraries to achieve significant cost savings. I am sure that together we all can convince our managements and consortia to join EIFL. More can be read at http://www.eifl.net/consortium-management and http://www.eifl.net/faq/consortium-management Please also see the attachment.
