Librarian is yet important!!!
by T. Shahab .TANWIR 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Dear all, Librarians act like filters; they validate; they collate and repackage the information to fulfill the specific requirements of users. Certainly the profession is not dispensable. The thing really required of us professionals is that we truly read the writing on the wall to reinvent ourselves as information processors rather than continue in the dormant role of book/journal dispensers. "Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one." – Neil Gaiman With best regards, Dr. T.

Freeing knowing from the shackles of commercial interests
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Prof. Timothy Gowers is a celebrated mathematician. A professor at the University of Cambridge, UK, he is a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fields Medalist. In the midst of his research and teaching he finds time to make scientific research freely accessible. Not only did he, through the PolyMath project, give an opportunity for interested common citizens to take part in solving high level research questions, but he also initiated the Cost of Knowledge (aka Boycott Elsevier) movement. He is a great champion of freeing access to knowledge from the stranglehold of commercial interests. He maintains a blog. Here is an entry he contributed six months ago. <*http://gowers.wordpress.com/2014/04/24/elsevier-journals-some-facts/ <http://gowers.wordpress.com/2014/04/24/elsevier-journals-some-facts/>*> Best wishes.
