DOAJ reaches 20,000 journals!
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 19 Oct '23

19 Oct '23

From: Katrine Sundsbø <katrine(a)doaj.or Date: Wed, Oct 18, 2023 at 4:51 AM Hello everyone, *** Apologies for crossposting, but feel free to celebrate several times! *** We're delighted to announce that we've reached 20,000 journals at DOAJ! Please join us in celebrating with a cup of tea, coffee or perhaps a little piece of chocolate :) We're so incredibly grateful to our community of supporters, volunteers, ambassadors, librarians, researchers and of course all those who apply to get their journal indexed. To celebrate both 20,000 journals and 20 years, we've launched a fundraising campaign, where anyone can donate any amount to DOAJ. We've done this because we know many who do want to support us cannot afford the list price, or perhaps want to support as an individual. We're extremely grateful for any contribution on our way to reaching our goal of £20,000! Thank you all for your attention, and I hope you have a wonderful day and rest of the week! Kind regards, Kat Katrine Sundsbø Community Manager DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) https://doaj.org Open, global and trusted since 2003

Since its inception in 1969, IATLIS has been active in taking up several issues of LIS Education in India especially relating to the development of curriculum, teaching methods, infrastructure, teacher training, etc. It actively works for the promotion of the professional interests of LIS teachers. As part of its activities, it conducts national seminars and webinars, workshops, and training programmes.

For more details about the association, kindly go to www.iatlis.org *About the University* The University of Jammu and Kashmir was founded in the year 1948. In the year 1969 it was bifurcated into two full-fledged Universities: University of Kashmir at Srinagar and University of Jammu at Jammu. The University of Kashmir is situated at Hazratbal in Srinagar. It is flanked by the world famous Dal Lake on its eastern side and Nigeen Lake on the western side. The Main Campus of the University spread over 247 acres of land is divided into three parts – Hazratbal Campus, Naseem Bagh Campus and Mirza Bagh Campus (serving residential purpose). Additional land has been acquired at Zakura near the main campus for further expansion of the University. The tranquil ambience of the Campus provides the right kind of atmosphere for serious study and research. Over the Years University of Kashmir has expanded substantially. It has established Satellite Campuses at Anantnag (South Campus), Baramulla (North Campus) and at Kupwara, to make higher education more accessible to people living in remote areas of Kashmir valley. The University has also established a Sub-Office at Jammu to cater to the needs of the candidates enrolled with the University from outside Kashmir. The University is committed to provide an intellectually stimulating environment for productive learning to enhance the educational, economic, scientific, business and cultural environment of the region. The University offers programmes in all the major faculties. It has been constantly introducing innovative/ new programmes to cater to the needs and demands of the students and the society. Over the years, the University has marched towards excellence in its programmes and activities. It has been re-accredited as Grade-A+ University by the National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) of India. The university is ranked 53 by NIRF, and 56 by Q7 BRICS. This is recognition and reflection of the high standard of quality in teaching and research at the University of Kashmir. The University of Kashmir is eulogized for its exceptional contribution towards teaching, research, and service in nation building. It also provides equal opportunity for students from different streams at various levels of education. To meet the challenges in higher education, University has accepted from time to time the Semester system, Choice Based Credit System and now New Education Policy (NEP). https://www.uok.edu.in *About the Department* Established in 1970, the Department of library and Information Science went on to become an iconic institution in the field of information management .
