Hello sir, Thank you for the awareness you brought to us. Best wishes, Yesan Sellan Chief Librarian SAIACS Bangalore On 17 May 2017 7:44 p.m., "vinod mishra" <mishravk79(a)gmail.com> wrote: Dear Sir, Thanks for your motivations, actually i have bitter experience when i took initiative to upgrade one of the oldest DSpace (1.2) at NIT Rourkela implemented by Mr. Madhan it was very difficult and lot of pressure from admin because of obsolete server of DSpace and other issues. I floated message on forums to help in this regard on TA/DA and honorarium basis but did not get a single reply. However I do not know why but Mr. Madhan keep trust on me and encouraged to try because i can do it hence i tried and within 03 month of pain i could able to do it with learning so many new things in DSpace and now when i am eager to assist people hardly anybody eager to take interest because they might have never thought of new features of DSpace like ORCID, discovery tool, embargo, integration of Romeo/Sherpa etc. It indicates we library professionals are either not aware about these concepts or do now wish to enhance their services beneficial for their own sustainability in all respect. I am very happy to see many Senior professionals still took lot of initiatives and always encourage peoples, but still lot of lacking in providing good technical and managerial leadership at the same time young people also did not have much dedication to uplift LIS profession but they are much busy in uplift themselves anyhow and compromise with basic responsibility assigned to them for which they are already getting handsome salary and i may not be the exception. Thanking You. With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

Fwd: International Accord for Repository Networks
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 May '17

17 May '17

Friends: Kathleen Shearer, Executive Director of COAR, sent out this letter two days ago. It talks about an international accord for repository networks. The accord was signed by network representatives from Australasia, Canada, China, Europe, Latin America, Japan, South Africa, and the United States. Notice India's name is missing. For the simple reason we don't have a working repository network. CSIR, DST and DBT made some attempts to set up national level repository aggregators and researchers may or may not deposit their published papers or postprints or preprints and no questions are asked. Eloy Rodriguez, Chairman of COAR, says, "This accord brings us one step closer to our goal of transforming the system to make it more research-centric, open to and supportive of innovation, while also collectively managed by the scholarly community.” It is likely that soon the international of network of repositories will become the go to place for all new knowledge. We in India should not be left behind. Let us (LIS folks in academia and research labs) act. The first step is to set up institutional repositories; that means, for many learning the basics - EPrints or DSpace or some other software and keeping up with developments (like ORCID). From: Kathleen Shearer <m.kathleen.shearer(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, 15 May 2017 09:21:44 -0400 Sorry for the cross posting International Accord for Repository Networks Venice, Italy On May 8, 2017, several regional and national repository networks and stakeholder groups formally endorsed an international accord that will lead to the greater alignment of repository networks around the world. The aim of the accord is to improve cooperation between national and regional repository networks by identifying common principles and areas of collaboration that will lead to the development of global services. Repositories play a fundamental and expanding role in supporting open access and open science, and there are thousands of repositories deployed around the world that provide access to research articles, data and other types of content. Increasingly, these repositories are connected through regional and national repository networks that define standards for their communities and offer valuable services on top of repository content. However, given the international nature of research, it is critical that these repository networks work together to ensure they are interoperable, while also supporting the unique needs of their local communities. The international accord, developed by COAR, the Confederation of Open Access Repositories, will foster closer relationships between the regional networks and act as a framework for undertaking specific activities including metadata exchange across networks, the adoption of common standards and APIs, and implementation of common functionalities. The accord was signed by network representatives from Australasia, Canada, China, Europe, Latin America, Japan, South Africa, and the United States. “We share a common vision of a distributed, community-based open science infrastructure around the world”, says Eloy Rodrigues, chairman of COAR. “But to achieve this vision, we need to work together.” Kathleen Shearer, COAR Executive Director says, “This accord brings us one step closer to our goal of transforming the system to make it more research-centric, open to and supportive of innovation, while also collectively managed by the scholarly community.” In the coming weeks, COAR, along with the signatories, will work to define the various levels of collaboration, with the eventual aim of positioning repositories as the foundation of a global knowledge commons. The accord is available here: https://www.coar-repositories.org/activities/advocacy-leadership/aligning- repository-networks-across-regions/ For more information, please contact Kathleen Shearer: office(a)coar-repositories.org **** Also, please see < https://www.coar-repositories.org/files/OpenAIRE2020_D3.3.pdf> -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009
