Interview with Jake Orlowitz, Founder of The Wikipedia Library
by Santosh C. Hulagabali 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

Dear all, Happy to share the interview transcript of Jake Orlowitz, the founder of The Wikipedia Library (TWL). This interview showcases how TWL brought ripples of change in the open knowledge domain. The efforts, content creation practices and usage pattern of Wikipedia content show promising trends of knowledge creation, dissemination and thus achieving open culture. Therefore, Wikipedia negates the perception that it provides free content only, in fact, it drives readers to scholarly literature in a big way. In this interview, Jake has shared amazing facts and trends of Wikipedia and also his personal experiences as a Wikipedian. Please go through the following link and share your valuable comments on the blog. Jake will be happy to read them! Wikipedia is actually driving people to scholarly literature and therefore it is a top 10 referrer to all scholarly articles online: Jake Orlowitz <https://openinterview.org/2020/03/12/jake-orlowitz-wikipedia-is-actually-dr…> Regards, -- Santosh C.

Call for Felicitations from SALIS
by Pandurang Konnur 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

Dear friends, You have totally mistaken the SALIS announcement of Felicitation. Following is the text of the SALIS Announcement: " I am happy to inform you all that SALIS Puducherry Chapter is going to organize a Felicitation programme to Honour the Ph.D. Awardees/NET/SET holders/Retired professionals as part of “*One day National Workshop on Scholarly Writing & Research Ethics*” on 25.04.2020 at the French Institute of Pondicherry, Pondicherry. Those who have completed SET/NET/PhD after January 2013 and also have retired after January 2013 will be felicitated and honoured in the function " SALIS has a healthy practice of felicitating those who have completed their PhDs, or cleared NET/SLET to encourage and promote professionals to upgrade their qualifications. If they do not call for applications from that region how can they come to know the list of people qualify for this Felicitation? Anyway, I agree with the other two postings that National Awards and Life Time Achievement Awards nominations may dilute the purpose. Still I feel that, how the organisation which desires to recognise people know one is better than other? So we can invite recommendations from other professionals about the best qualified person for such Felicitations. However, this is subject to opinion of others on the forum Thanks, *Dr. P. V. Konnur* *President* *LIS Academy, Bangalore* *Adviser, VTU Consortium,* *Visvesvaraya Technological University,* *Belagavi - 590 018* Mobile : 09449679737 E-Mail : pvkonnur(a)gmail.com On Thu, 12 Mar 2020, 9:52 am , <lis-forum-request(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> wrote: > Send LIS-Forum mailing list submissions to > lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/mailman/listinfo/lis-forum > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > lis-forum-request(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in > > You can reach the person managing the list at > lis-forum-owner(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of LIS-Forum digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

Dear professionalsI have seen the request in LIS Forum inviting applications for getting felicitated by the SALIS, Pondicherry. It seems to be an unfair practice to apply and get felicitated. The SALIS should know whom to felicitate and do it accordingly. It is only my opinion. Authorities may please think and decide on it.Dr. GOPAKUMAR V.University Librarian, Goa UniversityTaleigao Plateau, Goa.

This decision acknowledges the fact that DOAB is considered as key open science infrastructure with great potential for improving the current situation regarding the visibility of open access books. Eelco Ferwerda, co-director of DOAB, said: “the support from the French Open Science Committee to the SCOSS second round funding cycle is the first public commitment in this cycle, and it is a very substantial contribution. This funding will enable DOAB to invest in community management, to support the SCOSS campaign and to engage with the open science community.” SCOSS, the Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services, was formed in early 2017 with the purpose of providing a new co-ordinated cost-sharing framework for enabling the broader OA and OS community to support the non-commercial services on which it depends. SCOSS launched its second funding cycle at the end of 2019, selecting both DOAB and OAPEN ( http://oapen.org/home) , and also PKP and Open Citations. Each of these infrastructures will receive funding from the French Open Science Committee. Recruitment: DOAB Community manager The SCOSS funding from the French Open Science Committee enables DOAB to recruit a Community manager, responsible for communication and acquisition. This is a full-time position for 12 to 18 months. The primary focus for acquisition will be managing the SCOSS fundraising campaign. Further details about this new position can be found here ( https://www.doabooks.org/doab?func=loadTemplate&template=jobOfferComunityMn… ) About DOAB DOAB is an online directory and discovery service for peer-reviewed OA books and OA book publishers. The primary aims of the service are to increase discoverability of OA books so that they can reach a broader audience, and to support trust in OA book publishing. Publishers provide the metadata of their publications to DOAB to increase dissemination, visibility and impact. Aggregators can integrate this metadata into their commercial services while libraries can do the same into their online catalogues, making it easier for scholars and students to discover the works. The directory is open to all publishers of academic, peer-reviewed books that are published in open access and that meet academic standards. All publishers included in DOAB are screened for their peer review procedures and licensing policies.
