The N-LIST project provides access to more than 2,100 electronic journals and 51,000 electronic books to students, researchers and faculty from colleges and other beneficiary institutions through server(s) installed at the Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) Centre. "Authorized users from colleges can now access e-resources and download articles required by them directly from the publisher's website once they are duly authenticated as authorized users through servers deployed in the INFLIBNET Centre," said an official press release. Faculty, staff students and researches from colleges covered under section 12B of University Grants Commission (UGC) Act are eligible to access e-resources through the N-LIST project. These colleges are required to register themselves on the N-LIST Website. Currently, 665 colleges are registered members. Registered colleges are issued Log-in IDs and passwords for their authorized users including faculty, staff, researchers and students. Colleges that are not covered under 2F/12B Act of the UGC may join as N-LIST Associate Members. The N-LIST Project is being jointly executed by the UGC-INFONET Digital Library Consortium, INFLIBNET Centre and the (INDEST-AICTE) Consortium, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi. The project provides for cross-subscription to e-resources subscribed by the two Consortia, i.e. subscription to INDEST-AICTE resources for universities and UGC-INFONET resources for technical institutions. It also provides access to selected e-resources to colleges. Also present at the launch were Ashok Thakur and Sunil Kumar, Additional Secretaries in the Ministry of HRD and also N.K.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Does the UGC allow a university research scholar
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 03 May '10

03 May '10

Dear All, The point raised by Ghani is not only the example of malpractices in LIS there are several other heart burning examples which forced me to develop HDLS at http://lishelp.ning.com to raise our voices against such type of issues. But the major thing is who will take initiave for such type of bad activities although we have lot of powers given by our constitution like RTI Act, Human Rights, Consumer forum etc. I simply wanted to say we must use such type of powers to reduce the shortcomings if you can't then let me know in details i will raise the questions under RTI without disclosing your identity. Message: 6 Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 10:43:14 +0300 From: raiyan ghani To: lis-forum Subject: [LIS-Forum] Does the UGC allow a university research scholar to dojob abroad on the name of data collection? Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" * **Does the UGC allow a university research scholar to deceive the department and do job abroad on the name of data collection?* Dear LIS professionals Greetings!!! As we are aware that UGC is the highest governing body to ensure high quality education in India. The way UGC has come up with research funds, is no doubt appreciative at every account. Every central university is bound to follow the norms of UGC Act/Ordinances/ Rules and Regulation. For each sect within the university, UGC has its own norms and regulations. *So keeping all the UGC Act/Circulars/Rules and Regulation in concern, the question arise after seeing the current trend that does UGC allow a research scholar of a central university to deceive the department and do job abroad on the name of data collection? * We have been going through lot of posting on this forum in regard to the improvement and trends of LIS, as well as its a hot topic in this forum to change the current scenario of the LIS. The question at this hour is that researchers are the pillars and path to come up with new innovation to their respective fields. But, it seems to be a trend in the university and specially in library science department producing fake researcher who never ever paid heed to their research and being awarded a doctorate degree by the end of their duration confined by UGC. Is this type of researcher will bring change who had their thesis copied by some one else, doing job abroad and their guide working on his/her behalf, deceiving the department and enjoying other monetary benefits on the name of data collection, paying a hefty amount to the supervisor of his/her income. I will be pleased to hear the answer to my question on this forum specially by senior academicians of LIS profession, experts of LIS profession, serving current and ex LIS member professionals to UGC and from all who want to improve the scenario of LIS profession. * * Thanks With regards, Syed Raiyan Ghani. Program Coordinator Applied Engineering Management Program-KSU (Missouri University of Science & Technology, Rolla, Missouri - USA) A proud Alumini of DRTC, ISI Bangalore. Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome!! -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

02 May '10

Friends: Here is a message from Ms Barbara Kirsop of EPT (Electronic Publishing Trust for Development, UK). Please send your success stories in implementing and benefiting from open access. Dear All, I have just sent the following posting to EPT Blog, after discussions with Leslie, Arun and Iryna Kuchma (eIFL). The idea is to try to collect personal stories of how OA has assisted researchers in the developing world. Sometimes a personal story speaks louder than an essay! Please let any of your contacts know that we would like to hear from them if they have an OA-story to tell. Thanks, Barbara. (Barbara Kirsop, EPT) ============================================================ Please send us your OA stories as your contribution to OA week!<http://epublishingtrust.blogspot.com/2010/04/please-send-us-your-oa-stories…> <http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8-6aDVnNC_0/S9rl80WIH4I/AAAAAAAAAF0/5Axc2zu2kuI/s…> *Open Access Week* will hit the research communities worldwide from October 18th – 24th, 2010! Here is the OA Week web site <http://www.oaweek.org/>that will tell you what is going to happen and what you can do to help. To spread information to developing and emerging regions on the value of OA to research and economic development we need to make a lot of noise this week. We need to tell others how free access to research, or distribution of their own research through OA, has changed their work or their career for the better. Here is a request: can you send EPT any stories you can share that show how OA has advanced your work. Has it lead to new contacts? Has it lead to new research partnerships and publications? Has it made you think about the importance of getting your research findings into the global community to help resolve global problems? Has it helped your own career? Has it put your organisation on the global map? Please tell EPT about any developments that have been brought about by your knowledge or participation in Open Access. Send your stories (no more than 300 words please) to EPT <ept(a)biostrat.demon.co.uk>. You can also add short experiences as a Comment to this Blog. We will collate the best stories and make them widely known so that others will be encouraged. Write to us with your OA-stories and help the progress of research! -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
