Public Access to Research Reports: reg
by Anand Dodamani 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

Dear friends, I wanted to know the reason for NOT providing public access to the Research Reports funded by different agencies including the UGC and ICSSR in our country. The Government and its associated agencies have been spending several crores of rupees (tax payers money) every year to fund various research projects across sectors. But unfortunately, the results of such research projects are not made public which is not correct. The researchers might publish the summary of their research findings in the form of Journal Article or Working Paper but such publications cannot be equated with original research reports. Sometimes we, the librarians, feel helpless when users approach us for a help to access such reports. Therefore, I strongly feel that the results of all research projects should be made public immediately after their accepting by the funding agencies. Will it happen in the near future? The INFLIBNET or some other national agency should take this up and create a portal for the same.

by vinod mishra 09 Sep '17

09 Sep '17

Dear All Major function of any automated system is to get the output from the system as per routine and specific requirements, almost all libraries are facing reporting problems especially in propriety ILMS. Koha is one of the most suitable open source solution which provide much flexibility while working with modules. Report module of Koha is one of the best and most flexible module which provide opportunity to design your own specific report as per requirements. I have attempted to develop such reports as per my personal and working experience in libraries and sharing with the community for benefit of all. Kindly share your reports of Koha if develop by you or your Koha vendor because you have already paid for it and open source ethics says for the same.
