Collaborating on drafting an article/ blog on performance assessment of Koha ILMS
by Atanu Garai 27 May '24

27 May '24

Hi Community, Koha as an open-source ILMS application is stable and have been powering many libraries worldwide. We at SocialWell have been operating multiple Koha ILMS instances for six institutions for the last six months now. In this period, we have monitored how Koha is performing on different sizes on library, usage, and server specifications. In general, it appears Koha-using libraries can benefit a lot from performance enhancements. From a cost perspective, it seems Koha runs well in a minimum of 2vCPU, 8 GB RAM, and 16 GB memory. A server with this spec costs about Rs. 66,816 a year. That’s a significant expense for a library having 5,000 to 10,000 resources. I want to collaborate with other Koha experts to write an article or a blog on the performance pros and cons and areas of improvements. This would help us to put together more scenarios – running multiple Koha instances in a single compute machine, running each instance separately, among others. You can email me at hi(a)socialwell.net. Best regards, Atanu Atanu Garai SocialWell w: www.socialwell.net<http://www.socialwell.net/> LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/socialwell/> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/SocialWellNet>

Editors at Philosophy & Public Affairs Resign and Will Launch New OA Journal
by Subbiah Arunachalam 23 May '24

23 May '24

Friends, "Crucial aims of scholarly publishing are not well served by commercial publishing," say the editors of a leading philosophy journal. Please see what I just received from <OPENCAFE-L(a)listserv.byu.edu>. Another mass resignation at a Wiley journal as the editors and all of the editorial board members of one of the most influential journals in moral and political philosophy, Philosophy & Public Affairs, have resigned en masse <https://dailynous.com/2024/05/22/editors-at-philosophy-will-launch-new-oa-j…>. This makes 11 journal mass resignations at Wiley since 2018 according to the Retraction Watch Mass Resignation List <https://retractionwatch.com/the-retraction-watch-mass-resignations-list/>. As the Daily Nous says according to their statement, *crucial aims of scholarly journals are “not well-served by commercial publishing* ... The outgoing editors and editorial board members will be launching a new diamond <https://www.coalition-s.org/diamond-open-access/> open-access journal to be published by Open Library of Humanities (OLH) <https://www.openlibhums.org/>, and will be occupying at the new journal the same positions they held at *Philosophy & Public Affairs*.” You can read the statement at the links above, it includes this familiar opening: "Faced with this conflict between purpose and business model, we have decided to embrace the purpose and move to an alternative model. The alternative—which our librarian colleagues have been urging for some time—is for libraries, universities, and other academic institutions to offer direct support for the publication of open-access journals, which are guided by independent scholarly judgment and freely available for authors and readers" **** It is indeed sad that at a time when enlightened editors of many journals starting from Fields medalist Timothy Gowers, who initiated the 'Boycott Elsevier' movement, are urging scientists to move away from commercial journals, we in India are entering into Transformative agreements with commercial publishers and helping them tighten their stranglehold on science and scholarship. A few months ago representatives of a commercial publisher was even given a red carpet welcome in New Delhi and their 'bus trip' to 15 leading institutions was facilitated so they could talk to professors and students on topics like writing research papers, presentation of data and scholarly communication! With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam
