Keeping in tune with the spirit of the Librarians' Day, we are paying tribute to two librarians in this issue, who have made us believe that librarians are no less than superheroes who have the ability to touch the lives of many people through books. We also list for you 11 of our all-time favourite movies with librarians as our main heroes - saving the world, falling in love, teaching goodness and so much more!! In this issue, we also brings to you news, events and trends from the country and across the world to savour. Let us introduce you to our award winning netBASE collection from the legendary CRC Press - with over 12,000 references in more than 350 subject areas. Come with us for a guided tour of the Bodleian Libraries and listen to Richard Ovenden, the Bodley's librarian at the University of Oxford as he takes us through the objective behind the refurbishment project turning the New Bodleian into the Weston Library. We also reveal to you the results of our 2014 open access survey and discuss what is shaping authors' attitudes, values and understanding of it and what they believe the future of research communication to be. Quite an eye opener this is. Enjoy your own Ignite with a cup of hot tea or coffee and let us know what you think!
