Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 STUDENT COLLOQUIUM - 3 (2018-2020) Title: MAKERSPACE Abstract The word makerspace is the combination of two words i.e. maker and space, which refers to creating space for creativity and innovation. Makerspace is a place in which people with common interest come together to work on projects and express their creative thoughts. In the era of ICT, traditional libraries are unable to attract patrons as information is available on internet via digital library services. When we talk about modern libraries, they are spreading their hands to inculcate more innovative services to attract patrons. The concept of makerspaces catch the eye of LIS professionals and there is a huge demand to implement this concept and build library makerspaces. The purpose of this colloquium is to spread more awareness about makerspaces and its uses in libraries. In this colloquium, we will present the benefits and motivation behind this concept along with some tools and technologies and strategies to build library makerspaces and some real world case studies. Speakers and Topics ❏ Sneha Bharti - Introduction ❏ Debanjali Bain - Benefits, purpose and importance in education ❏ Benil Joseph - Types of makerspace ❏ Vaishakh Babu - Library makerspace ❏ Aashish S. Dixit - Strategies to build library makerspace ❏ Jyotima Patel - Tools ❏ Gokul R - Case study ❏ Kangzangbe chilu - Challenges ❏ Swagata Rana - Conclusion Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: 06-03-2019 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore.

VijayRaghavan was speaking after he tweeted that India would be signing up to the most radical opposition to the scientific publishing status quo: Plan S, an initiative launched last year by a group of European funders to ensure that, by 2020, taxpayer-funded research results are made immediately free to read. The controversial scheme spearheaded by Robert-Jan Smits, the European Commission’s special envoy on open access, has received backing from the European Research Council and 13 national funding bodies, including agencies in France, the Netherlands and the UK. Two of the biggest medical research charities in the world, Wellcome Trust and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, are also on board.
