by Sukhdev Singh 07 Jun '06

07 Jun '06

I hope members of the group would be interested in reading the following: Business models in open access publishing by Cockerill, Matthew. In "Open Access: Key strategic, technical and economic aspects" Neil Jacobs (ed.) (forthcoming) - http://hdl.handle.net/2384/2367 Matthew Cockerill, in this chapter, draws a parallel between open access and open government, noting that only by making information freely available can we hope to build the kinds of systems and services that are already useful, and that will be essential in the future. --Sukhdev Singh, NIC http://openmed.nic.in

Re: [openaccess] RE: FOCUS ON WEEK TWO

Dear members, Here is a nugget from Nobel Laureate Harold Varmus. In conversation with Richard Poynder, the British technology journalist who is interviewing many open access advocates (including me): RP: I'm curious about your motivation for supporting Open Access so vigorously.... HV: I believe that science is one of those activities that improves the state of the world, and once you realise how important publication is in the series of acts that constitutes the doing of science, and once you understand the incredible transformation of that publication process that the Internet, and software, and the whole digital world, now promises it is hard not to be pretty passionate about trying to make that part of the scientific universe work more effectively.

Hello Mr.Bandi, I agree with your points Mr Bandi and it is already implemented also. I saw an advertisement for the teaching and non teaching posts for tamil nadu open university modified notification i.e 1 .In view of the contmplated changes in the eligibility qualification for the post of Lecturers in the univerisity by way of exemption to M.Phil and Ph.D qualified candidates fron passing NET/SLET examination, all applicanbts with M.Phil/Ph.D alone are eligible to apply for the leecture post in the disciplines advertised, subject to the receipt of UGC communication to that effect before the date of Interview.However, all those possessin only Master's qualification should habve passed NET/SLET examinations 2. consequently, the last date for submission of filled-in application is extended to 15th june 2006 Dr. S.Manickam Registrar .in todays The Hindu Bangalore edition.If require i will send to you tomorrow after scanning. But, i dont know what criteria is UGC following for recruitment . According to me let the first priority given to UGC/NET qualified and if candidates are not available they for Ph.D and then M.Phil.candidates. If one is influncial, favoured, financial sound background. If it is not followed then lot of injustice may happen to those who have qualifed above exams. I think there is no use of commenting and quoting now about this matter after implementing all everything.If any chances are there let me know. We will fight strongly. with regards, YEKANATH N KAMBLE ASST.LIBRARIAN R V COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING,MYSORE ROAD, BANGALORE-59 (INDIA) PH.91-80-28600351/28604705/28600184 FAX : 91 - 80 - 2860 0337 MOBILE.9448585358 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2006 From: Usha Mujoo-Munshi <umunshi(a)insa.nic.in> Reference : Please review our article titled "Open Access and institutional repositories - a developing country perspective: a case study of India" (Puna Das) At the ouset i must compliment the author/s for a commendable work. A good review on OA IRs. While going through the contents, some discripencies regarding INSA data was observed. 1. INSA OA repositories using Dspace are not only metadata, communities like seminar reports, presentations, photo-gallery are complete communities. However many items under articles are though metadata level. 2. INSA journals are online from inception while dates(year) mentioned are not correct. Kindly update.

Free E-books from July 4 for one month
by madhuresh.singhal 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

Dear Friends, You would like to take advantage of this news. I have taken this from http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=104909 For more detail, you can visit http://www.gutenberg.org/events/fair-pressmay4.txt E-book project to give free access Electronic book devotees may want to set aside some extra screen time this summer, as two non-profit organisations are preparing to provide free access to 300,000 texts online. Project Gutenberg and World eBook Library plan to make "a third of a million" e-books available free for a month at the first World eBook Fair. Downloads will be available at the fair's web site from July 4, the 35th anniversary of Project Gutenberg's founding, through Aug. 4. The majority of the books will be contributed by the World eBook Library. It otherwise charges $US8.95 ($A12.02) a year for access to its database of more than 250,000 e-books, documents and articles. But the book fair will not be the last chance for e-bookworms to devour works ranging from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" to "Old Indian Legends," not to mention dictionaries and thesauruses, without paying for them. Project Gutenberg founder Michael Hart, who first announced the ambitious plan a month ago, said Friday the partners are on track to make 1 million books available for the annual fair's one-month run in 2009, with more appearing in subsequent years. About 100,000, he said, will be permanently available at the handful of Project Gutenberg sites on the internet. "We want to give the most books to the most people," the 59-year-old Hart said by phone from Urbana, where he established the project in 1971 after graduating from the University of Illinois. "It has been our goal since the dawn of the internet to break down the bars of ignorance and illiteracy." The Gutenberg books, typed and scanned into computers by thousands of volunteers, mostly are those that are no longer protected by copyright. They include fiction, nonfiction and reference books and will be available for worldwide readers in about 100 languages. While the commercial e-book market remains tiny, Hart said electronic books have "caught on without getting a lot of publicity" and are being widely read on handheld computers, mobile phones and even special programs for use on iPods. "These people that grew up on GameBoys - to them a GameBoy screen is the standard size," he said. "To us old folks, it's too small. But they don't care." Based on fast-increasing demand, he predicted there will be 10 million e-books available by 2020. "I've gotten notes from people who said they would have never, ever read Shakespeare if I hadn't put it on the internet," Hart said. Regards Madhuresh Singhal Assoc. Res. Scientist - Inf. Sc.
