Dear Members, Herewith, I express my gratitude to all those who have sent their congratulatory messages to me both on and off the list. Your messages are encouraging and motivating. I'll hasten to add that I'm all the more motivated to do more for my institute after I came across the following quote recently: "Your right is to work only, but never to the fruit thereof. Be not instrumental in making your actions bear fruit, nor let your attachment be to inaction" Thanks and best regards, - Francis > The Electronic Publishing Trust for Development is pleased to announce the > winners of a new annual award to be made to individuals working in > developing countries who have made a significant personal contribution to > advancing the cause of open access (OA) and the free exchange of research > findings. > -- > Madhan, M > Manager, Library and Information Services > International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) > Patancheru, Hyderabad > India > www.icrisat.org<http://www.icrisat.org/>

EPT Award to Dr Francis Jayakanth - Congratulations
by Ishwar Goudar 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Dear Professionals, Let us congratulate Dr Francis Jayakanth of National Centre for Science Information, Bangalore for having been chosen as the winner for the Electronic Publishing Trust for Development award in the first year of its establishment for playing a major role in Open Access movement among the developing countries. EPT has considered 8 aspects of contributions concerned to Institutional Repositories. Unlike other countries setting up of IRs is lead by LIS professionals in India. As seen by myself, the winner of this EPT award Dr Francis has contributed extensively in all 8 aspects specified by EPT. Apart from setting up of India's number one IISc-IR, Dr Francis has trained a number of students through NCSI , as well others for setting up of IRs. While his work has given a wide exposure to IISc research output, the Institute is yet to recognise his contributions suitably. It is unfortunate that NCSI is virtually closed. The legacy of my friend Late Dr. T.B. Rajashekar, one of the India's best LIS teacher and researcher, who was responsible in starting the NCSI course came to an end with his untimely tragic death. While the Institute did not take necessary steps to continue the course, friends like Francis have been doing their best to continue the works and contributions of Dr. Rajashekar. I hope our Professional friends will make use of expertise of Dr Francis in setting up of IRs in their organisations. Dr. I.R.N. Goudar Visiting Professor and Library Adviser University of Mysore Formerly Scientist 'G' and Head, ICAST, NAL, Bangalore On Mon, Jan 2, 2012 at 10:46 AM, Madhan, M (ICRISAT-IN) <M.Madhan(a)cgiar.org>wrote: > Dr Francis: > > We are all so proud of you.
