Open textbooks
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Friends: Hundreds of quality college-level open textbooks are available and the number is expected to increase rapidly. A large number of Foundations and academic consortia in the US are actively promoting and adopting open textbooks and thus helping the student communities save millions of dollars. The LIS community in Indian academic institutions should alert the heads of their institutions, faculty and students to this development. I give below a few examples. <http://collegeopentextbooks.org> covers a wide range of fields. Another agency is <http://oerconsortium.org/discipline-specific/>. They also cover a wide range. Some of these books are dynamic, meaning they change over time incorporating more recent examples and student quizes. "There are over 160 open textbooks available on the Open Textbook Library ( open.umn.edu <http://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/>) that faculty could adopt in their classrooms immediately," says the report, “Open Textbooks: The Billion-Dollar Solution,” available at www.studentpirgs.org/textbooks. Best wishes. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Fwd: Knowledge Unlatched
by Subbiah Arunachalam 28 Feb '15

28 Feb '15

Friends: Please look up the website of 'Knowledge Unlatched.' It appears to be an excellent programme for some leading Indian institutions to join. Already close to 300 institutions (including Fudan University in China and two institutions in South Africa) have joined. The partnering publishers include several Universities. In any case all books are free to download by our researchers and students. But this kind of OA is made possible by the member institutions sharing the cost. More the members lower will be the cost to each of them. Librarians of key Indian academic and R&D institutions might wish to recommend joining this programme to their vice chancellors and directors. I spoke to two leaders of the OA movement and both of them felt that Indian institutions would benefit by joining the programme.

This year’s conference theme provides an opportunity for information science researchers – including academics and practitioner researchers – to discuss the impact of their research on industry, on government, on local/national/global community groups, on individuals, on information systems, on libraries/museums/galleries, and on other practice contexts. The theme highlights the introduction of a new conference focus on Applied Research, which recognizes that basic research in information science is also inspired by, and/or connected to, information practice contexts. Papers could discuss issues, policies and case studies on specific aspects of the theme from a global and/or international perspective. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following core areas: * Impact on Individuals: information behavior; information retrieval; human-computer interaction; social media use; information literacy; etc. * Impact on Society: digital citizenship; cultural engagement; archival preservation; policy development; copyright; intellectual property; infometrics; information access; etc. * Impact on Organizations: information architecture; knowledge management; competitive intelligence; digital curation; records and archives management; etc. * Impact on Systems & Technology: cloud computing; digital libraries; automatic indexing; social tagging; classification; semantic web; database design; web usability; etc. * Impact on Information Contexts: health; education; law; environment; agriculture; business; etc. Selection Criteria: There will be up to three winners who will be selected by a panel of judges including: Maqsood Shaheen (IRC, US Embassy Islamabad), J.K. Vijayakumar (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology), and, Innocent Awasom (Texas Tech University). The judging criteria will be based on: 1.
