Moving from subscription-based system to different models
by G Mahesh 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

Dear Members, Science Europe (www.scienceeurope.org) has just released the briefing paper “Open access business models and current trends in the open access publishing system”. (Available at: http://www.scienceeurope.org/uploads/PublicDocumentsAndSpeeches/SE_Briefing…) Apparently, the Science Europe Road map contains a clear objective “to move from subscription-based ‘reader-pays’ system to different models for research publications.” The briefing paper presents some of the recent trends and developments, as well as various business models currently in use which aim to facilitate the transition to OA. It also highlights expected benefits and underlines remaining challenges. The short 10 page paper discusses the following five points, benefits and challenges of each: 1. Adding open access requirements to subscription costs 2. Accelerating the transition through offsetting models 3. Capturing key data and need for transparency 4. The variety of business models in the evolving scholarly communication landscape 5. Accelerating the transition of an outgrown publishing system For those of us who are particularly involved licensing journals, this is worth a read. Regards, G.

Using FOSS to add "Ask the Librarian" chat support to your Koha OPAC
by Indranil Das Gupta 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Dear all, At the recently concluded National Koha Conclave (Feb 17 - 18, 2016), one of the "Koha Wishlist" items discussed was that of adding a chat facility to Koha. Chris Cormack, the original developer of Koha had replied that the Free Software i.e. Mibew (pronounced as: My-beau) messenger may be used to add the chat capability to the OPAC. Last weekend, I decided to try out Mibew and implement this. I'm happy to report that it has worked out very nicely. I've blogged about how you can add it on your server here - http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2016/04/11/mibew/. Sharing this so that more people may find the information useful. Also if anyone wants to test how it works, without installing Mibew, contact me off-list, I will be happy to help. regards, -idg -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
