Here is the Breaking News - An Open Access Society for India
by Sukhdev Singh 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Dear Friends, India now has a number of individuals and institutions working for the cause of Open Access. Time has come to further boost such efforts through a body fully dedicated for it. Such a body can promote better coordination of individual initiatives under a collaborative framework aiming Open Access in India. I am happy to inform you that a group of young professionals has formed a Registered Society under The Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955 on 19th March 2008 with Registration Number : ER-157/08. It is known as Open Knowledge Society (OKSociety). Its website is located at http://www.oksociety.org This newly formed 'OKSociety' aims to promote Open Access in India through creating awareness and organizing training programmes. However we all know this is not enough. After getting the training on implementing institutional repositories, automation of libraries and on-line journal publishing; people do need some support services in putting their training into practice. These support services or 'hand-holding' are essential at least in initial stages. Unfortunately these support services are not available in the present market scenario. As this is too specialized domain with very small niche. OKSociety would act as a forum to provide support services through an array of volunteers. One another major bottle neck for small and medium institutions is that they do not have high end servers connected to Internet on 24/7 basis. This hinders the visibility of good work done by such institutions. Better servers and Internet infrastructure sometimes become too expensive to justify the exposure of good work done at such institutions. Even in large institutions, libraries may not be able to get good share of the server and bandwidth from the institutional pools. OKSociety could create a pool of high end servers having adequate bandwidth. This pool of infrastructure could be used by member institutions. Such a common reliable infrastructure can also be used for publishing Open Access Journals as well as hosting Institutional Repositories under the supervision of the Society. I wish the society all the success. I am one of its members and hope in near future more people will get associated with it. This Society would need dedicated people to carry forward its mission. I can understand it is just the beginning and more information needs to be put on its site. Which I hope will evolve in due course in time. --Sukhdev Singh. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
