Thanks to data contributors from around the world IFLA was able to count more than2 million libraries in 99 countries. During this initial phase of the Library Map of the World project we have learned about the state of libraries in these countries and moved closer to our shared goal of having reliable global library statistics. We would like to thank our data partners â those who submitted their data and those still in process â for this fantastic response. This is just the beginning and we are looking forward to the next year as the Library Map of the World becomes an annual activity, managed and maintained by IFLA. We are now analysing the results of the first phase to provide an annual summary report very soon. Visit the Library Map of the World at librarymap.ifla.org and stay tuned for news!

Open Access / Solutions but not illegal affair
by vinod mishra 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

Dear All, Many time there is a debate on open access resources and many of the people supported Sci-hub and such illegal resources. My simple view is how these illegal resources can be supported by many people and hamper the right of anyone/publishers hand to mouth. The resources which was collected and organized by publishers required huge manpower and infrastructure as well as the authors of intellectual output accepted terms and condition of the publishers. In open source software world we are free to use and distribute software but can never distribute and use Microsoft windows etc. similarly there is already several laws for such publications and we must convince publishers to publish under such laws which help in free flow of knowledge else we can think of framing such laws which is win win kind of situation for publisher, author and rest of users. Such as a rule can be framed where publisher can provide free access to affiliated institutes to all particular journal issue/volume which contain even a single article of authors affiliated institute or there may be like this. But please remember illegal is illegal and to survive and make healthy society where every body is having right for food, cloth and shelter we must accept the laws framed by us for us only. With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.
