Re: [km4dev-l] Knowledge Management Capacity for African Research
by arun＠mssrf.res.in 20 Apr '06

Friends: One of the key components of "Knowledge Management Capacity for Research Institutes and Networks" in East Africa or elsewhere is setting up of interoperable institutional archives (such as in CERN, Geneva, and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore), AND more importantly mandating open access for all publications resulting from publicly-funded research. Unlike parts of corporate information, research information leads to maximum benefit only when it is allowed to flow freely and is shared with other researchers worldwide. I suggest that GDN, WBI and ACBF include a session on open access and invite experts like Dr Leslie Chan of the University of Toronto, who is especially passionate about promoting OA in the developing world. I would also like to draw the attention of the workshop organisers and participants to a paper written by Leslie Chan, Barbara Kirsop and Subbiah Arunachalam for SciDev.Net on "OPEN ACCESS ARCHIVING: THE FAST TRACK TO BUILDING RESEARCH CAPACITY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES" and to another paper I coauthored with Peter Suber: "Open Access to Science in the Developing World" [http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/writing/wsis2.htm] Subbiah Arunachalam Distinguished Fellow MSSRF, Chennai 600 113 India > Dear All, > > The Global Development Network (GDN) in cooperation with the World Bank > Institute (WBI) and the Africa Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) is > organizing a workshop entitled "Knowledge Management Capacity for African > Research Institutes and Networks: East Africa Workshop".

Date: 18 Apr 2006 11:00:59 -0000 From: Vijay Raghav Tiwari <vijayrt(a)rediffmail.com> Dear Professionals I would like to say the following: Is it the opinion of the all the user? Whenever one complains he/she hides his/her own mistakes. As a user dont we have to follow some rules and regulations. There may be certain library/information centre where a common user without showing a proper identity may not be even allowed to enter in the campus itself. Do we get sufficient patting too whenever we be good with others? Did anyone find and any praise get quoted for anyone? I feel that user and the use should be more specific and friendly. Sometimes you/user feels that he is at the top of the world and if he is shown some formalities, feels offended. We want to serve users all out but rules are to be followed too. Hope that you will agree with me. regards vrt On Tue, 18 Apr 2006 harry(a)pbi.ac.in wrote : >LIS professionals' response to a particular problem by a media >professional has got enough coverage in LIS professionals' mailing list.
