Fresnel lens - Sheet magnifying glass
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Sometime ago, I have seen a very thin plastic sheet like magnifying lens (like a six inches scale) which can be used a book mark and magnifying sheet glass. This is a very good give away as a small item to readers who are dear to a library. I was, for a long time looking for a supplier. I found one now. You may find many in your city.

[Fwd: OA mandated by the Parliament of Ukraine]
by mailman＠ncsi.iisc.ernet.in 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Friends: When are we going to mandate open access to science and scholarship in India? Subbiah Arunachalam Developing National Open Access Policies: An Ukrainian Case Study Iryna Kuchma Social Capital and Academic Publications Program, International Renaissance Foundation 46 Artema str., Kyiv, 04053, Ukraine e-mail: kuchma(a)irf.kiev.ua Abstract *Since January 2007 Ukraine has a law mandating open access to publicly funded researches.* It was widely supported by most of the Parliament members. And it is already the second parliamentary inquiry mandating the Cabinet of Ministers to take actions on creating favourable conditions for developing open access repositories in archives, libraries, museums, scientific and research institutions with open access condition to state funded researches. And for the second time the implementation of this law was interrupted by the political crises. Grass root initiatives of Ukrainian Universities and libraries as well as the political support from the principle legislative body in the country have still not resulted into a single well-functioning institutional/national repository. The poster highlights the developments that have taken place, actions for the years to come and recommendations for the countries that are in circumstances that can be compared to Ukraine. http://elpub.scix.net/data/works/att/135_elpub2007.content.pdf -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
