TERI launches specialised library on climate change
by Rajesh Bhardwaj 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Dear Moderator, Plz. post the following ** *TERI launches specialised library on climate change (Google News Alert) * *** TERI Launches Specialised Library on Climate Change (Google News Alert) http://www.merinews.com/catFull.jsp?articleID=15772703 (MERI NEWS) New Delhi, Delhi, India, Friday, June 12, 2009* TERI Library and Information Centre (LIC) have set up a ‘Specialized Library on Climate Change’ (SLCC) to spread awareness and information on climate change. SLCC was inaugurated by HE Ann Ollestad, Ambassador of Norway to India in the presence of Dr. R K Pachauri, Director- General TERI and other distinguished guests. While inaugurating the library, HE Ann Ollestad, said that the SLCC will in due course, develop as a repository of valuable information resources and services in the subject area that would be readily available to researchers, policy makers and business organizations dealing with climate change issues. She extended her complements to TERI for having conceptualized the need for such a library. "Since there was no specialised library anywhere in the country dealing with climate change, so we thought of having one. And given the threat that the global warming pose to the humanity, it is important that people are aware of the issue and take steps to curb emission of greenhouse gases responsible for climate change." Dr. R K Pachauri, Following the inauguration, H.E. released the “Guide to Library” and also launched the website of SLCC. The library aspires to fulfill the following objectives; - Function as a resource center for collection and dissemination of information to the focused group of users; - To develop and provide access to information and online resources & databases. - To promote resource sharing and networking by establishing linkages with national and international organizations on climate change and energy security.

Dear Friends, NCSI-Net, an informal association comprising of NCSI staff, trainees, and its alumni, cordially invites you to the fourth Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture. The details of the lecture are given below: Title: " Academic Access in a Globalized world: Scholars without Borders” Speaker: Ram Ramaswamy Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi Dr. I.R.N. Goudar (Head, ICAST, National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore) will be presiding over the lecture. Date: Friday, 12th June, 2009 Time: 6.00 PM (High Tea will be served at 5.30PM onwards) Venue: NCSI, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore Description About The Talk: In this talk, Ram will discuss the problems of equitable access to information and knowledge, the issues of distribution, and initiatives that address these in both the digital and physical domains. In particular the poor visibility of scholarship in marginalized areas and the inadequate availability of academic material can benefit by harnessing available technologies. A globalized knowledge economy requires that these be employed, adapting them to local conditions, and *Scholars without Borders* has been making efforts in these directions.
