Approach to achieving for 100% Open Access by Universities
by Pandurang Konnur 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

Dear Friends, Hear is a great road map to go on to 100% Open Access by our Country! Please look at the success Story of Association of Dutch Universities: The Association of Dutch Universities (VSNU) is presenting an E-zine today on the successful Dutch approach to achieving open access. The Dutch universities are working together to make scientific articles freely accessible to everyone. Big steps have been taken towards 100% open access, which has been recognized and applauded in the international academic community. In this publication, fifteen milestones are highlighted, as well as the definition of open access, the role of publishers, the process of negotiations with publishers, and the critical factors for success in the unique Dutch approach. http://www.magazine-on-the-spot.nl/openaccess/eng/ Unfortunately our Indian Association of Universities is struggling to organise only VC's Meetings in different places in order to provide holiday enjoyment to VCs and their families. Neither our Union Government MHRD is keen on these aspects nor our sleeping State Governments! Best Regards, *Dr. P. V. Konnur* *Director Prasaranga,* *Adviser, VTU Consortium,* *Visvesvaraya Technological University,* *Belagavi - 590 018* Present Res: # 1075, "*Ganga Nivas*" 5th 'A' Main, Ist stage, IInd Phase, Gokul, Bangalore- 560 054 Karnataka State, (India) Mobile : 09449679737 E-Mail : pvkonnur(a)gmail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Affected Library or Affected Society?
by subhayu dan 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Calgary cops have thrown the book at alleged members of a drug trafficking ring, accused of plying their trade outside the main downtown library branch and other public spots in the core. Police have charged 29 people with 128 charges after two separate police operations in the downtown core targeting sales of crystal meth, morphine, and in one of 30 seizures, fentanyl. In response to public complaints, investigators launched their first operation in December, focusing on the 17 Ave. S.W. corridor where dealers were spotted in the shadow of family restaurants along the popular strip. The first phase led to seven arrests, on charges ranging from drugs, to stolen property, to outstanding warrants. Last month, the operation moved to the 7 Ave. corridor, targeting dealers at the Central Library, Olympic Plaza and area restaurants. District 1 Insp. Cliff O’Brien said while the sweep targeted low-level, hand-to-hand dealers, the aim is to make the downtown a more comfortable destination for business people and families. “This is taking place sometimes in broad daylight, in front of families, and in front of people going to work, or going to read a book at the library,” he said. “We also saw a spike in the violence that was taking place in some of these high drug trafficking areas.” Calgary Public Library CEO Bill Ptacek lauded police on the operation he said ensures libraries remain safe gathering places for families. “Calgary’s Central Library is an integral part of Calgary’s downtown,” he said. “Like all of our 18 community libraries, it is designed to offer a safe community place that provides library services for all Calgarians within a respectful environment where lawful, civil behaviour is expected.” The second phase of the drug blitz collared 22 people, who are now facing 81 drug and criminal code charges. More than half of those arrested had been previously known to police, and O’Brien said 13 of those arrested have already been released. So far, investigators have been unable to link the downtown drug dealers to ongoing city-wide violence linked to organized crime. While admitting the arrests may not halt the activity, O’Brien said he hopes it will prompt downtown dwellers to let police know when they see drug deals going down. “I know that other people will eventually come and take their place — we get that,” he said. “What we’re hoping to do is have the public call us when they see suspicious activity. “Hopefully it sends a message to drug traffickers that what they’re doing and the violence and the crime that comes with that is unacceptable.” http://calgaryherald.com/news/crime/calgary-police-drug-blitz-targets-downt… Shubhau Dan Library In Charge Future Institute of Engineering and Management Kolkata - 700150 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
