New Book Announcement
by Yalagouda Patil 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Dear Moderator: Kindly announce the following for the benefit of LIS-Forum members. Thanks Dr. Y.M.Patil Retd. Librarian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About the book: Consortium Approach to Resource Sharing in an E-Environment. By Yalagouda M. Patil The book deals with resource sharing through consortium keeping in view - journals crisis, cost escalation, scholarly publishing, shift from print to e-version and dwindling library budgets. To begin with, resource sharing is briefed covering library cooperation. Emergence of e-publishing has facilitated subscription to e-journals, access and delivery mechanisms. With proliferation of e-resources, consortia have emerged with aim of moving from organizational self-sufficiency to a collaborative survival mode. There are several consortia types and models available. The purpose of consortia is to deal with pricing and licensing by means of negotiations and to achieve win-win situation to all stakeholders. With growth of consortia, it is desirable to form National Consortium and National Site Licensing for access to available information at national level. Publishers were providing ‘big deal’ offers which could solve journals crisis but not budget constraints. With experiences gained in forming consortia, library professionals also gained enough skills for negotiations. To implement consortia activities, it is required to have minimum library IT infrastructure for access to information. It is important to look into archiving needs of consortia on a long term basis. Recent developments are for consortia migration and merger to make better use of available information. The Indian initiatives in forming consortia and experiences gained are briefed.

Advisers Already Planning Obama Library
by Jayadev P Hiremath 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

"Early next year, Obama advisers are expected to announce a search for a home for Mr. Obama's foundation and library, a project that some of the president's closest financial supporters estimate could cost more than $500 million," the New York Times<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/17/us/politics/obamas-library-advisers-dream…>reports. "The legacy project has proved magnetic to Obama lifers both inside and outside the White House. Marty Nesbitt, a Chicago investor who is so close to Mr. Obama that he amounts to the effort's presidential seal of approval, is leading the outside campaign. He is working with the president's go-to fund-raiser and 2012 deputy campaign manager, Julianna Smoot, to offer the first caresses to potential donors. Anita Dunn, Mr. Obama's former communications director, is preparing the media strategy." "Already, suitors from Mr. Obama's home and adopted states -- and even New York, where he lived for two years as an undergraduate -- are expressing interest in landing the library. But it is Chicago where the competition is most fierce." -- Warm regards.
