Open Licenses
by shriram pandey 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hello List, This article published by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) is an extract from a draft of Chapter 6 'Open licences' of Copyright for authors, educators and librarians. It was written by Julien Hofman and Paul West. From the introduction: "An open licence, as used in this chapter, is a neutral expression for a licence from a copyright holder allowing anyone to use the copyright material subject to the conditions in the licence. There are many different open licences, some for computer software and some for other forms of copyright material. Each has its own terms, conditions and technical vocabulary and their supporters do not always agree with one another. Some, disliking the business practices of commercial software suppliers and publishing houses, want to replace copyright with open licences. Some want to allow anyone to profit from the work of others without even telling them they are doing this. ."

Re: [LIS-Forum] Interdepartmental Interaction on 'Information andchange' at MyDLIS
by T. Shahab 19 Nov '07

Quite interesting discussion1 Myself was once a while working for the Library/Information centre in the Times of India newspaper at Patna (Bihar). I found the job very interesting and hectic. We used to keep index files on various local, national and international issues as well photo shots of different personalities and episodes like a situation of flood, a devastation brought by eathquake,accidental fire, etc.Often during election times, besides the editorial staff, I was supposed to be available in person to let them have materals on the character of a constituency. Sometimes, the editorial dept. would put a telephone call to my residence in nights to let them know how then can locate back year information on a particular case. I also used to interact with the editor as well as. Truly, it said that people in the press keep ready obituary materials in advance so that they can reach first with full coverage to the public.The traffic of users was always heavy. I don't know on what premise the students of journalism are calling the art & science of Libray business 'no more required' as already thigns are available on the net. We librarians are not internet shy. We quite well know the quantity & quality of materials available there. Regards. -----Original Message----- From: lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in [mailto:lis-forum-bounces@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in] On Behalf Of N.S. Harinarayana Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 12:48 PM To: LIS-Forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Subject: [LIS-Forum] Interdepartmental Interaction on 'Information andchange' at MyDLIS Interdepartmental Interaction on 'Information and change' : A report On Friday, November 16, 2007, Mysore University Library and Information Science Student Association (MULISSA) of the Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysore organised an interactive discussion programme, first of its kind in the university campus, with the students and faculty of Journalism and Mass Communication on an interesting topic "Information and Change". Dr. Niranjana, Reader and Chairperson, Department of Journalism and Mass Communication along with Dr. Mallinath Kumbar, Reader and Chairperson, Department of Library and Information Science moderated the discussion. Dr. Niranjana in his introductory remarks appreciated the Department of Library and Information Science and MULISSA for taking this initiative which would foster the mutual relationships. He said that library science and journalism disciplines and their respective professions complement each other like hardware and software in a computer system. The discussion was started with preamble laid by two students, one from each department. In their talk they narrated the role of information in their profession and the changes that both the professions are undergoing. Dr. Niranjana's comment that "Libraries are no more required as the number of users have diminished drastically" triggered a spirited discussion. One student from Journalism trying to reason out the comment said that when the information is easily available on Internet, libraries would become redundant. Moreover the lack of service and good quality collection in the libraries add to the problem, he said. Library Science students, found little offended by the comments, said that librarians alone can not be blamed for the situation. Moreover, the concept of libraries is changing from "four wall libraries" to "Wall less libraries". One student rationally argued, by citing the 10 reasons given by American Library Association, why Internet can't substitute a library. Dr. Mallinath Kumbar, who spoke in the mid of the discussion, said that libraries are under the tremendous influence of information and communication technologies. They have seen a paradigm shift in their approach to serve the users. While speaking on their turn, the library science students explained the changes in the profession by discussing interesting issues like "Content Vs. Container", "Access Vs Ownership", "Myths of digital libraries", "Knowledge commission and libraries" etc. Participants from Journalism also talked about media's role in acting as a catalyst to propel the change and impact on change in information society and emergence of e-papers. Dr. Niranjana concluded the discussion by stating that both media and libraries work on the principle of dissemination of information to the society, Both together play an important role in shaping the society. Dr. M. Chandrashekara and Dr. N.S. Harinarayana also participated in the discussion. For more information on MULISSA's activities please visit the blog http://mulissa.blogspot.com/ -- N.S.
