Copyright law reform
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 May '22

17 May '22

Friends, In an interview given to *SciDevNet* in 2009, Prof. Balaram said, "I argue that we should be permitted to put in the repository the full text article as it appears in a journal. For this, countries such as India should have a law specifying that the copyright for articles published with publicly-funded research always vests with the authors and their institutions. [See https://www.scidev.net/global/features/q-a-open-archives-the-alternative-to… ]. Recently, Prof. Peter Suber of Harvard University has argued that journals DO NOT NEED exclusive rights to publish papers. Please see https://journals.publishing.umich.edu/jep/article/id/1869/?s=03. Here is Suber's Abstract: "Journal publishers don’t need exclusive rights. Or, they don’t need them for publishing. They don’t need them to make a work public or to add value in the form of peer review, copy editing, metadata, formatting, discoverability, or preservation. Nor do they need them to make enough money to pay their bills and grow. Publishers only need exclusive rights for monopoly control over the published work and any revenue it might yield. Publishers who say they need exclusive rights are saying they need this monopoly control. The best evidence that journal publishers don’t need exclusive rights is that so many peer-reviewed journals do without them, for example, open access journals using CC-BY." Nine years have passed since Prof. Balaram wrote it. The copyright law has not been amended to accommodate Prof. Balaram's suggestion. Will the LIS community, in some sense custodians of knowledge in our academic and other research performing institutions, take it up with the concerned Ministry and different funding agencies in India?

Blog - Europe PMC: Europe PMC improves discoverability of preprints
by Subbiah Arunachalam 07 May '22

Friends, Preprints are emerging as the new normal in scholarly communication. Please see https://council.science/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/The-normalization-of-pre… and http://blog.europepmc.org/2022/05/europe-pmc-improves-discoverability-of.ht… I am happy to see DBT Wellcome Alliance as one of the more than 35 funding agencies that are behind this project promoting Open Science. We have a long way to go in India in adopting Open Science practices. Even the postprint servers we have (CSIR Central, Science Central, etc.) are not functioning well, and many researchers are flouting the funders' OA smandate with impunity. I wonder if CSIR, DBT, and DST monitor the compliance of their OA mandates at all. Regards.

Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 230, Issue 4
by Venkat Srinivasan 03 May '22

Hello Murari, Thank you for your mail. It is great to know that you are looking at preserving correspondence and making it visible. I would like to suggest that correspondence of individuals is arranged according to archival standards (the International Standard for Archival Description (G) is a great reference: https://www.ica.org/en/isadg-general-international-standard-archival-descri…). This is commonly done at various archival repositories around the world and in India. Archives capture context and process of an individual/organization/community/family/corporate body, and correspondence is one set of material that helps us in that regard. The material can be catalogued starting with simple spreadsheets and/or widely used open source archive platforms like ArchivesSpace: http://archivesspace.org/ and AtoM (Access to Memory): https://www.accesstomemory.org/en/. Both these platforms have fields that comply with archival standards, and also allow the metadata/finding aids to be interoperable and exported across other platforms. There are many such archival cataloguing platforms, of course, and most also allow you to make digital copies visible for access. They are not digital preservation systems, and for that you can refer to other open source systems like Archivematica, https://www.archivematica.org/en/. Again, there are various examples and one place I recommend for seeing a whole range of software platforms is https://bits.ashleyblewer.com/blog/2017/08/09/collection-management-system-… I hope this is useful.

Dear Colleagues, Correspondence of the great personalities is of significant value to researchers in the field of History. I have been asked to suggest the metadata fields for cataloging such content. While I am listing essentials based on my understanding, I thought to seek information from experienced professionals. Also, I will be very much thankful for a discussion on whether the open access repository software such as DSpace/eprints would suit this kind of content or if something else is available in open source to make it publicly available. Thanks in advance for your input.

These green books are poisonous—and one may be on a shelf near you
by Mohan Hr 02 May '22

02 May '22

These green books are poisonous—and one may be on a shelf near you A toxic green pigment was once used to color everything from fake flowers to book covers. Now a museum conservator is working to track down the noxious volumes. Libraries and rare book collections often carry volumes that feature poisons on their pages, from famous murder mysteries to seminal works on toxicology and forensics. The poisons described in these books are merely words on a page, but some books scattered throughout the world are literally poisonous. These toxic books, produced in the 19th century, are bound in vivid cloth colored with a notorious pigment known as emerald green that’s laced with arsenic. Many of them are going unnoticed on shelves and in collections. So Melissa Tedone, the lab head for library materials conservation at the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library in Delaware, has launched an effort dubbed the Poison Book Project to locate and catalogue these noxious volumes. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/these-green-books-are-li… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Moderator: Kindly circulate the International Conference details in LIS-Forum Dear Professional Colleagues: International Conference on Emerging Digital Library Platforms: Shaping Digital Transformation and National Data Exchange While the COVID-19 pandemic shook the world, many lockdowns have not stopped the spirit from thriving and competing. India has witnessed a gradual spike in qualified IT personnel and library professionals, embracing remote work and cloud infrastructure as the mantle to their industry sustenance. Industries like the automotive industry, construction, finance, logistics, and leisure took a massive hit during steps taken to control the pandemic. Small and medium businesses were among the worst affected by the lockdowns and stringent measures to curb the spread of the virus. Healthcare found it challenging to meet the demands of a vast Indian population. Libraries worldwide face hard choices around which services to offer and how ranging from minimal restrictions to complete closure. We are aware that governments are taking different approaches, sometimes ordering the closure of all institutions, others indicating that life should continue as usual, and others simply leaving decisions up to library administrators. DRTC was established in 1962 as a constituent unit of the Indian Statistical Institute. On the invitation of Prof. P. C. Mahalanobis, Dr. S.R. Ranganathan (1892-1972) (then National Research Professor in Library Science) started DRTC in Bangalore. Since its inception, DRTC has been considered a pioneer in Library and Information Science. To make the mark on the Occasion of the 75th anniversary of Independence of India and 60th Anniversary Celebrations of the Documentation Research and Training Center, (1962-2022), Indian Statistical Institute, and the 130thAnniversary of Dr. S.R. Ranganathan, (1892-1972) The Father of Indian Library Movement, Announces an International Conference on Digital Library Platforms: National Data Exchange-Shaping Digital Transformation, Emerging Technologies, Aug. 9-12, 2022 (ICEDLP). The conference aims to deliberate on developments and innovations in library and information science. It is also aimed at adapting to the journey of libraries using traditional knowledge organizing and management systems and classic systems. Renowned International Experts will deliver keynotes, and lectures, give demonstrations, and interact with the delegates. To explore cutting-edge technologies and techniques from advanced areas such as Classification, Cataloguing, Information Retrieval, Semantic Web, and Data and Data Science. Metadata, Semantic Web, Linked Data, Data Exchange, Ontology & Knowledge Organization, Big Data, Open Source, Open Access, Digital Libraries Digitization and Digital Preservation Web-Based Library Services, social media. As a result, academic libraries are rethinking their strategies and services to meet the challenges of the digital world and the demands of the“ born digital” generation. Libraries, in particular, are confronting these challenges as the nature of scientific practice is being dramatically transformed by information technologies. *Themes * Papers are invited concerning theory, architectures, data models, tools, and services, infrastructures in and around Digital Library framework about the following topics (but not limited to): 1. Digital Libraries: System Focused - Knowledge Discovery and Representation in Digital Libraries - Digital archiving and preservation - AI / Machine Learning/ Data mining for DLs - Digital humanities and heritage - Semantic Web Technologies and Linked Data for DLs 2.

Dear Professional Colleages: International Conference on Emerging Digital Library Platforms: Shaping Digital Transformation and National Data Exchange While the COVID-19 pandemic shook the world, many lockdowns have not stopped the spirit from thriving and competing. India has witnessed a gradual spike in qualified IT personnel and library professionals, embracing remote work and cloud infrastructure as the mantle to their industry sustenance. Industries like the automotive industry, construction, finance, logistics, and leisure took a massive hit during step s taken to control the pandemic. Small and medium businesses were among the worst affected by the lockdowns and stringent measures to curb the spread of the virus. Healthcare found it challenging to meet the demands of a vast Indian population. Libraries worldwide face hard choices around which services to of fer and how ranging from minimal restrictions to complete closure. We are aware that governments are taking different approaches, sometimes ordering the closure of all institutions, others indicating that life should continue as usual, and others simply leaving decisions up to library administrators. DRTC was established in 1962 as a constituent unit of the Indian Statistical Institute. On the invitation of Prof. P. C. Mahalanobis, Dr. S.R. Ranganathan (1892-1972) (then National Research Professor in Library Science) started DRTC in Bangalore. Since its inception, DRTC has been considered a pioneer in Library and Information Science.

[Invited Talk] Liaison Librarianship – Bridging the Gap? by Ms. Maha Kumaran, Librarian, University of Saskatchewan, Canada on Wednesday, 27th April, 2022, 3 PM
by TS Kumbar 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

Dear Fellow Professionals, The Library at IIT Gandhinagar cordially invites you to join us for the following talk on *Wednesday, 27th April, 2022, at 3 PM* to enrich ourselves with the experience of *Ms. Maha Kumaran* <https://library.usask.ca/people/maha-kumaran.php#About>, Librarian from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada in the field of Liaison Librarianship. *Title: **Liaison Librarianship – Bridging the Gap?* *Date (Day): *27.04.2022 (Wednesday) *Time: *3.00 PM *Register here: * https://iitgn-ac-in.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jYHg4A5EQKaKbcBI4Fm-qQ *About the talk:* Liaison librarianship has been effective in building partnerships with faculty and students. It has successfully (in most cases) moved librarians away from service desks to integrate with all their users, especially collaborating at the faculty level. It also helped create a well-rounded librarian with in-depth knowledge and experiences in many aspects of their liaison areas – collections, acquisitions, instruction, and focused research and scholarship in liaison areas/subjects. However, this model also has limitations. As academic institutional landscapes demographics evolve, curriculums change, technologies and librarians’ roles expand, liaison librarianship may not meet all the needs of students, researchers, and faculty in higher education systems. Many academic libraries are moving away from liaison models to functional and division roles. This is exactly what Ms. Kumaran will reflect upon, with her rich experience in the field of liaison library, during the webinar. *About the Resource Person:* Maha Kumaran is a Liaison Librarian for the College of Education at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. Since joining the university in 2010, she has served in multiple liaison roles and as the head of the Education & Music Library. As a liaison and faculty librarian <https://library.usask.ca/people/maha-kumaran.php>, she focuses her efforts on information literacy instruction, scholarship, collections, and services – the last includes working with faculty and students, particularly collaborating with faculty on various research topics including equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). She is the author/co-editor <https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4643-865X> of three published books and many peer-reviewed articles. Kumaran has served as the EDI Visiting Program Officer <https://www.carl-abrc.ca/news/announcing-carls-visiting-program-officer-and…> for the Canadian Association of Research Libraries; serves as a member of the ARL Leadership & Career Development Program Task Force; and continues to promote EDI awareness <https://acrl.ala.org/acrlinsider/val-spotlight-series-practices-of-equity-s…> through all her work <https://www.arl.org/blog/arl-fall-forum-plants-seeds-for-change-in-talent-m…>. So we believe this would be a wonderful opportunity to learn how the library has been evolving through the years and we look forward to seeing you in large numbers. Thanks & Regards Kumbar -- T. S. Kumbar, PhD Advisor (Library & Institute Archives) Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar Palaj, Gandhinagar 382 055*|* Gujarat | INDIA Tel: +91 79 2395 2431 Mob: 09825921864 Email: tskumbar(a)iitgn.ac.in | librarian(a)iitgn.ac.in Website: http://www.iitgn.ac.in -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

DISSEMINATING MEDICAL LITERATURE AND KNOWLEDGE IN INDIA IN THE 1980s
by Francis Jayakanth 26 Apr '22

26 Apr '22

From: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> Sent: 26 April 2022 11:43 Friends, Years ago (in the 1980s) a few doctors (physicians and surgeons) in Chennai did something remarkable. At a time when foreign exchange was scarce and libraries did not have enough funds to subscribe to even a few journals, this small group provided access to journal articles needed by practising doctors and medical researchers. To learn about their outstanding work (in their own words), please read the article "DISSEMINATING MEDICAL LITERATURE AND KNOWLEDGE IN INDIA IN THE 1980S: THE SMLRT STORY" by Krishnan Ganapathy; Arjun Rajagopalan; Gita Arjun; Seshadri Suresh; Krishnan Sriram [https://jmla.mlanet.org/ojs/jmla/article/view/1424], DOI: https://doi.org/10.5195/jmla.2022.1424 Arun.

ACM’s first 50 years backfile contains more than 117,500 articles on a wide range of computing topics. In addition to articles published between 1951 and 2000, ACM has also opened related and supplemental materials including data sets, software, slides, audio recordings, and videos. “We at ACM are especially proud to make this announcement now as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of our organization,” said ACM President Gabriel Kotsis. “ACM has published many of the foundational works by pioneers of the computing field, and we are delighted to share this treasure trove with the world. And in doing so, we take another large step in our evolution to become a fully open access publisher.” Making the first 50 years of its publications and related content freely available expresses ACM’s commitment to open access publication and represents another milestone in our transition to full open access within the next five years. https://www.acm.org/articles/bulletins/2022/april/50-years-backfile

Sometimes the delay is nearly 24 hours, and some other times it is more than 24 hours. Prima facie, there seems to be no issue with the lis-forum server or the forum software. The problem has been reported to the email support team. The situation has improved since this morning. I need to confirm with the email support team if the problem has been fixed. With regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth Moderator, LIS-Forum JRD Ta memorial Library IISc. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Sad demise - Garudadwajan - Ex Head - ICAST - NAL
by Ishwar Goudar 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

Dear Professionals, I am very sorry to inform you that Mr. B. Garudadwajan, Ex Head, Information Centre, NAL, Bengaluru passed away on 14th March 2022 at the age of 91 due to brain hemorrhage leading to coma condition. A close relative of Late B.S. Keshavan, one of the doyon of LIS in India, Garudadwajan had M.Sc. Mathematics and served initially Institution of Engineers, Calcutta for 3 years and later the erstwhile INSDOC before joining the Information Centre of CSIR - Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun. He did the INSDOC course. He went as UNDP Fellow to University of Texas at Austin, USA. He joined ICAST, CSIR - National Aerospace Laboratories, Bengaluru. He was a pioneer in running a satellite based Online Information Service using ESA-IRS. He was deputed to ESA, Frascati, Rome, Italy to get expertise in Information Search Techniques. He led this Centre as its Head for 5 years before retiring in March 1992. Infact I took the charge of ICAST from him. He was a constant source of guidance for me in the matter concerned with managing ICAST. In the last phase (two years) of his life, he ventured into a modest exercise of creating a list of about 5000 words based on the contents of many newspapers and research articles. This is being published as an e-Book titled "*Concept Clusters for Vocabulary Build-up*". This is a converse of Dictionary useful for improving the quality of writing. The preview of this work is available at https://www.scribd.com/document/322563503/Vocabulary-Builder His daughter Roopa is in the process of making available the final edited version very soon. Late Mr Garudadwajan was a knowledgeable and very soft spoken thorough LIS professional. He has left behind him his wife and two daughters. He lived happily and breathed last very peacefully. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE. OM SHANTHI. Regards, Dr I.R.N. Goudar "Access E-Resources for Academic and Research Excellence" *- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -* Dr. I.R.N.

Friends, The Inter Academy Partnership has just released a report on Combating Predatory academic journals and conferences. Please see https://www.interacademies.org/sites/default/files/2022-03/1.%20Full%20repo… This report should be of interest to researchers and librarians everywhere, and especially India, as India is often referred to as the home for a large number of such journals and the UGC had to bring out a white list of journals.

Why are both UGC- CARE List of Journals and Good Academic Research Practices (GARP) Archaic?
by Vasanth 17 Mar '22

17 Mar '22

Dear Sir/Madam, This paper discusses the limitations of Good Academic Research Practices (GARP) and UGC-CARE List in engaging with the emerging scholarly open publishing platforms, specifically preprints. This paper throws some light on preprints and their role in accelerating science communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. The UGC’s opaqueness towards emerging open publishing platforms in its GARP document and propagating traditional scholarly publications through UGC-CARE List has also been deliberated.

Good practices for university open-access policies
by Subbiah Arunachalam 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Friends, It is a bad policy to surrender copyright to one's research papers to journal publishers. Please inform researchers - faculty and students and other scientific and technical staff - and administrators (Vice Chancellors, Directors, Principals, Deans, Heads of Departments, etc.) in your institutions that they could retain copyright to the papers they publish. Prof. Peter Suber of Harvard University recommends the Berkman Klein Center's Guide to good practices for university OA policies, which focuses on the rights-retention approach. Please visit http://bit.ly/goodoa . This guide, written and edited byPeter Suber and Stuart Shieber in consultation with many OA experts, is based on the type of rights-retention OA policy first adopted at Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and the University of Kansas. Policies of this kind have since been adopted at a wide variety of institutions <https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Additional_resources#Policies_of_the_kind_re…> in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia, for example, at public and private institutions, large and small institutions, affluent and indigent institutions, research universities and liberal arts colleges, and at whole universities, schools within universities, and departments within schools. Can a journal reject a paper if the author wants to retain copyright? Says Prof. Peter Suber, "As far as I know, no publisher has ever rejected a submission just because it was covered by a Harvard-style rights-retention OA policy. There are at least 85 universities in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia with these kinds of rights-retention policies." The Guide is endorsed by many international organizations involved in scholarly communication, but by NONE so far from India. Indeed, it would be great if funding agencies such as DST, DBT, CSIR, UGC, ICAR, and ICMR and Academies such as INSA, IASc, NASI, NAAS, INAE, etc. endorse this Guide and make it widely known to individual researchers and institutions they support. Best wishes.

Research Discussion: Innovation Driven Business Sustainability
by Mohan Hr 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Dear all Please find an invitation for a research discussion on "Innovation Driven Business Sustainability" organised hosted by Pune University as a part of PhD viva voce of Major General T. M. Mhaisale, an author as well as a speaker at the book launch and webinar hosted in Jul 2021 by CSI, IEEE CS & ACM on Personality Development. Topic: Innovation Driven Business Sustainability Date: Thursday, 17th Mar 2022 Time: 2 pm to 3 pm IST Meeting link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86796596965?pwd=ZVFQNnRMWjJMVnlZd2NnNXhMLytRdz09 Meeting ID: 867 9659 6965 Passcode: 545683 Synopsis of the presentation Business sustainability is the buzzword nowadays, in the government as well as the corporate parlance. This is the pillar on which the businesses are poised to grow, remain future-ready and thrive. There are three main pillars of business sustainability in turn. These are : Planet, People, Profit in that order. Firms are required to innovate continuously in order to reinvent themselves. It is extremely important that the culture of internal innovation and entrepreneurship is assiduously nurtured. Appropriate strategies are required for the same. The world is caught into a cobweb of VUCA : Vulnerability, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. Under these circumstances, a strong and resilient Risk Management Framework, with a judicious combination of COSO framework (bottom-up) and ISO -31000 : 2018 (Top down) is a must. There is a feeling justified through research that the Risk Management Strategies when embedded with Innovation Processes will be a great boon for the Business Sustainability. In view of the ubiquitous decarbonization along with net zero targets, these assume a tremendous significance. The research scholar has made an attempt to study the these three elements in details: Business Sustainability, Innovation Processes and Risk Management Strategies and study their harmonious correlationship which will ensure Business Sustainability. These have been studied through Case Studies as well as formulation and testing of Hypotheses. About the presenter Major General T. M. Mhaisale, is pursuing his research at Savitribai Phule Pune University in the topic related to this concept: Innovation Driven Business Sustainability. He is Master of Technology in Computer Technology from IIT Delhi, MBA from Indira Gandhi Nehru Open University, Master of Management Studies from Osmania University. He has been doing a lot of work in Innovation Management and Business Sustainability. He is on the Faculty of Institute of Directors, New Delhi for these subjects. He has been a writer and has authored quite a few books on this subject. He has also authored a book on “The Ten Quotients: A complete guide to Personality Development".

Rights retention policy
by Subbiah Arunachalam 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Friends, I received this from Prof. Peter Suber. Let us work towards promoting rights retention policy in higher education institutions and all research performing institutions in India. - Arun ***** I agree with Arun that few publishers, if any, would reject a submission just because it comes with an author addendum. An author addendum is a proposed revision to the contract, which publishers can take or leave. Publishers can reject the addendum without rejecting the submission, and many do. I don't know of a single case in which the publisher rejected the submission itself because of the proposed addendum. However, I believe that some publishers are already on the record as desk-rejecting submissions that come with Plan-S-style rights-retention notices. Plan S will track these publishers in its Journal Checker Tool. As far as I know, no publisher has ever rejected a submission just because it was covered by a Harvard-style rights-retention OA policy. There are at least 85 universities in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australasia with these kinds of rights-retention policies. However, as a matter of law (not current practice or prediction), publishers may reject any submission for any reason.

Fwd: Preprints - future of scientific publication
by Subbiah Arunachalam 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Friends, About 40 years a group of doctors and surgeons in Chennai (where I live) did something remarkable. Higher education institutions and research centres were struggling to find funds for subscribing to important journals. The foreign exchange position was very tight. Journal sections of libraries even in leading institutions were famished. But researchers and students needed the latest literature. This small group thought they could do something at least for practising doctors. We talk about jugad and doing the best one could do at any given situation, and finding affordable solutions to the crises we face. This group of medical professionals did exactly that, and they have now told how they did it. They deserve to be congratulated not only for what they did but also for making their story freely accessible to the world through this six-page OA article DISSEMINATING MEDICAL LITERATURE AND KNOWLEDGE IN INDIA IN THE 1980S: THE SMLRT STORY https://jmla.mlanet.org/ojs/jmla/article/view/1424 With best wishes, Arun

Predatory journals and conferences
by Subbiah Arunachalam 13 Mar '22

13 Mar '22

Friends, A major concern in scholarly communication is the proliferation of predatory journals. Unfortunately, India has earned the dubious distinction of being one of the largest centres of predatory journal publishing. Predatory journals also gave birth to a large number of predatory 'international conferences.'

A guide to preprints
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 Mar '22

01 Mar '22

Friends, There is growing acceptance among scientists and scholars around the world for circulating new findings as preprints. Preprints have come to be recognized as legitimate documents. Grigori Perelman, the Russian mathematician was chosen for both the Fields Medal (considered to be the Nobel for math) and the Clay Mathematics Institute's Millennium Prize (it shouldn't really matter, but I will mention the Prize is US$ one million) on the basis of three preprints in arXiv which he did not even bother to send to a journal for publication. Of course, he declined to accept both the awards. Physicists were among the earliest to systematically gather preprints and make them available to a worldwide audience through a central server. In the past more than 30 years, *arXiv*, operating now out of Cornell University, has made available more than 2 million preprints (not only in high energy, condensed matter and astrophysics, but also in other areas like mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics. I must add that the preprints culture precedes *arXiv*. Preprints help advance science faster. If we were to depend solely on research papers published in refereed journals, progress in science and scholarship would be slowed down. Initially, there was some hesitancy in accepting preprints as a convenient and legitimate means of communicating new knowledge. Especially among medical researchers. Indeed, Franz Joseph Ingelfinger, former editor of *The New England Journal of Medicine <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_England_Journal_of_Medicine>* (*NEJM* ) stipulated in 1969 that *NEJM* would not publish findings that had been published elsewhere, in other media or in other journals. Many medical journals continue to follow this rule to this day. Says Sanjay Pai, editor of *Indian Journal of Medical Ethics*, "To my knowledge, it holds good for all journals. It's the journal equivalent of an Exclusive, which the newspapers and TV seek." Prof. Peush Sahni, Editor of *National Medical Journal of India*, says, "most journals still follow it to some extent. However, more journals will peer review papers put on preprint servers." Now there are preprint servers to cater to researchers in almost all fields. Please see https://www.coar-repositories.org/news-updates/delving-deeper-into-preprint… . A new practical guide to preprints, https://www.ouvrirlascience.fr/a-practical-guide-to-preprints-accelerating-… , would be useful to members of this list and all LIS professionals in academia and research institutions. It may be of interest to doctoral students and early career researchers. Please publicize it in your institutions.

Fwd: Baskaran Fwd: INSA e-mail: Jawaharlal Nehru Birth Centenary Medal (2022) lecture and Panel discussion
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 Feb '22

24 Feb '22

Forwarded message. Please spread the word. Subbiah Arunachalam ******************** Greetings and regards from INSA. I am writing this mail on behalf of the President INSA and in the context of a lecture by Prof Marcia McNutt, President of the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, USA on the March 3rd between 1800-2000 Indian Time. Dr. McNutt has been awarded the prestigious _Jawaharlal Nehru Birth Centenary Medal_ - 2022 by the Indian National Science Academy (INSA). Prof. McNutt has suggested that she will speak on “Misinformation: Addressing the Challenge” and, will trace some of the history of misinformation, and discuss why it is such a problem today, with some key examples from the US and possibly elsewhere. This is indeed a topic of importance and concern for both the public and academia. Enthused by the title of this talk and with our own concerns on the current contexts, we felt that a panel discussion on broader issues arising from _changing narratives _of _STI, Economics, Ethics and Society: Issues and Challenges in recalibrating the role of Academies and Academia_ following the talk will be useful to initiate a discussion in the community. I am pleased to report that we have an eminent set of panelists , a) Prof. Holden Thorp, Editor in Chief of Science Journals, b) Prof. Naomi Oreskes of the Department of Earth Sciences at the Harvard Universities and an highly acclaimed authors of several bestselling books including the Why trust Science ; c) Prof. Geoffrey Boulton FRS OBE from UK, who will be representing the International Science Council and has been the architect of their document Science as a Global Public Good and d) Prof. Chandrima Shaha, President INSA. Each of the panel members will have an opening comment of 10 min and these will be followed by discussion/comments/questions. The entire event will be held on web and the enclosed poster provides the link and details on the talks. You may type in your comments/questions in the chat box and they will be addressed to.

A pragmatic approach to writing research papers
by madhan muthu 23 Feb '22

23 Feb '22

A pragmatic approach to writing research papers. By G. K. Ananthasuresh https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeCH7h0GstoFVm_X7a_53e9lBTSTheTuYk… Much has been written about how to write good research papers. But there is a need to discuss it from time to time. Writing is a necessity for researchers to publish their work in reputed journals and well-attended conferences as well as to prepare winning grant proposals. However, it is increasingly becoming an even more important task than doing the research itself. Intense competition in securing grants and publishing papers underscores the need to write well to put forth one’s ideas effectively. By taking a few good tips from a selected set of essays on “how to write about research”, we will discuss a pragmatic approach that makes writing pleasurable and rewarding. Brief biographical sketch of G. K. Ananthasuresh G. K. Ananthasuresh earned his bachelor’s degree from IIT-Madras, master’s from the University of Toledo, and PhD from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor—all in mechanical engineering. His principal research interests are compliant mechanisms and topology optimization with applications in microelectromechanical systems, biomechanics of cells, biomedical devices, and microrobots. In addition to research output of more than 300 journal and conference publications and 16 patents, his research group has spun off four startups. He currently serves as a professor of Mechanical Engineering and the Dean of Mechanical Sciences at IISc-Bengaluru. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Open access endorsed by International Science Council members
by Subbiah Arunachalam 22 Feb '22

22 Feb '22

Friends, Please see https://council.science/current/news/members-vote-to-reform-scientific-publ… / These are the eight principles endorsed by the International Science Council’s Membership (in October 2021): 1. There should be universal open access to the record of science, both for authors and readers, with no barriers to participation, in particular those based on ability to pay, institutional privilege, language or geography. 2. Scientific publications should carry open licences that permit reuse and text and data mining. 3. Rigorous and ongoing peer review must continue to play a key role in creating and maintaining the public record of science. 4. The data and observations on which a published truth claim is based should be concurrently accessible to scrutiny and supported by necessary metadata. 5. The record of science should be maintained in such a way as to ensure open access by future generations. 6. Publication traditions of different disciplines should be respected, while at the same time recognizing the importance of inter-relating their contributions in the shared enterprise of knowledge. 7. Publication systems should be designed so that they continually adapt to new opportunities for beneficial change rather than embedding inflexible systems that inhibit change. 8. Governance of the processes of dissemination of scientific knowledge should be accountable to the scientific community. Please help reach this message reach all involved in science and research in India (scientists, students, academic and research institutions in the public and private sectors, research councils, funding agencies, librarians ... ...). Also, it would be a good idea for this forum to discuss each one of these principles.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Open-access publishing fees (better known as APCs) deter researchers in the global south
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Feb '22

19 Feb '22

Thanks very much Jean-Claude. I have been trying to convince our government, public funding agencies, research councils, scientists and librarians for God knows how long. I think it was at an IFSE conference at Rio, Brazil, in 2000, I spoke about the need for journals going from print to electronic and making all research papers available through 'open archiving,' and emphasised the need for helping developing country researchers take part in open archiving initiatives. [See http://www.eventos.bvsalud.org/bireme/ifse-rio/present/Subbiah_Arunachalam/…]. It was at the Rio conference that I first met Stevan Harnad for the first time although I had read his paper on scholarly skywriting before and corresponded with him (to invite him to speak at our Foundation, MSSRF, Chennai). He had recommended self-archiving and his group at Southampton had released the Eprints software for institutional archives long before I became an active promoter of OA. I believe in his prescription that authors publish in any journal (academy, society, commercial, national or foreign does not matter) as long as they do not pay publishers to make papers open access, do not surrender copyright, use author addendum, AND place the paper immediately on publication in an interoperable archive so it can be seen by even those not working in institutions subscribing to the journal. After campaigning relentlessly and after running a widely subscribed discussion list for many years, Stevan was vexed with the lack of interest shown in OA archiving by the worldwide research community which on top of it was willingly or unwittingly playing into the hands of greedy commercial (and some society) publishers. He decided to quit advocating OA and moved on to devote his life to the mission of caring for all sentient beings, a cause far more worthy of his time and effort than OA which concerns only researchers and a few others who use research literature. As you have said, scientists (and science establishments) around the world have surrendered assessment of research value to commercial firms (the academic ranking industry, if we may call) such as THES, and QS, as they had earlier let commercial interests take over journal publishing when Mr Robert Maxwell came on the scene and made the audacious statement that science journal publishing "is a perpetual financing machine." [see https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/sep/13/scientific-publishing… ]. You will be happy to see the wind blowing currently in favour of Diamond OA publishing. I would be happier if funders around the world *also* support archiving. I was glad when I read a few days ago that the Big Ten (actually 14) universities in the US have pledged financial support to arXiv. I am currently talking to many senior Indian scientists to write a joint letter to funding agencies under the Government to provide annual grants to arXiv. Regards.

Diamond OA journals

Friends, According to a news story by Robin Bisson in Research Professional News (dated 7 Feb 2022), two major funder groups in Europe, viz. Research Europe and cOAlition S, have announced their plan to strengthen 'diamond' open access [meaning research papers are free for both authors and readers but the costs will be taken care of by funders or institutions] Please see: https://www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-europe-infrastructure-2022… Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Friends, Here is a public release statement on APC and its impact on developing countries from the Academia Joven de Argentina <acadjovenar(a)gmail.com>. As the subject is relevant to the the LIS community, I thought of sharing the statement through this Forum. Please sharee this statement with the scientific and scholarly communities you serve. Thanks. Subbiah Arunachalam ****** 29th October 2021 *Ref.: STATEMENT: ARTICLE PROCESSING CHARGE (APC) POLICIES & OPEN ACCESS (OA) PUBLISHING: THE IMPACT ON DEVELOPING COUNTRIES AND THE NEED FOR A MULTILATERAL SOLUTION* --- *This initiative arose from a group of young scientists who are members of The TWAS Young Affiliates Network (TYAN) and The Argentinian Young Academy (AJA), in collaboration with different National Young Academies and Institutions listed below.* --- Over the past years, the Open Access (OA) publishing models have been shaping the way we publish, allowing scientific articles to be freely available online. At a first glance, the OA publishing model apparently universalizes science, making it accessible to everyone, in agreement with the human right to science, as recognized by Article 27 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR, 1948). However, the Author-Pays OA publishing model shifted the financial burden from readers to the authors. This model incurs extremely high publication costs for the authors often bundled into one article processing charge (APC). Research and academic institutions also contribute to the problem by implementing evaluation methodologies based on journal-based metrics (such as Journal Impact Factors) to assess and compare the scientific contribution of individuals and institutions. The Author-Pays OA model represents a large barrier for the global scientific community, with particular impact on the progress of early career researchers. In the midst of this complex scenario, we believe that the international community should assume the challenge of exercising multilateral governance and academic cooperation in the face of the inequities that arise from this new OA publication model. To that end, the signing global organizations promote the creation of an ad hoc worldwide committee (*Global Initiative for Equitable OA Models*), working under the umbrella of multilateral global academic institutions or similar bodies. [...] The Committee aspires to: *1.* Establish a fluid dialogue between the various members of the scientific community, policy makers and representatives from governments, to further discuss options and implement joint actions for an equitable model of OA for the global scientific community. *2.* Draft a global agreement aimed at enforcing equitable access to publishing in OA Journals moving away from Author Pays OA and toward models that either a) repurpose existing subscription funds to fund e.g. sponsored OA or b) subscribe-to-open OA; or obtain funding for academic publishing from institutions or other public sources (diamond/platinum OA). Regulation should include guidelines aimed at setting copyrights. *3.* Create a global economic containment network to financially support the Least Developing Countries (LDCs) and Science Lagging Countries (SLCs) in order to strengthen national scientific R&D systems in line with objectives previously established by the countries at the multilateral level, such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). *4.* Set up a network of existing or new diamond journals from developing countries, aimed at promoting non commercial open publishing practices with clear and transparent regulations and strong standardized peer review processes. This can lead to new prestigious and recognized options where scientific communication will prevail over the interests from the publishing industry. [...] *We invite you to read the full statement and fill in the following form: * *https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScviZGzU1AmzYCZbZJmS3aBwStRsJwAKuekPfLos7A8o0MFyg/viewform* <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScviZGzU1AmzYCZbZJmS3aBwStRsJwAKue…> We hope that by adding you/your institution we can raise awareness and discussion on this issue and implement the specific action proposals herein presented aimed to advance progress in building more equitable models for opening knowledge. *Finally, we kindly invite you to help us spread the word and share this statement among your contacts. * Please accept the assurances of our highest consideration, Dra. Eva Acosta and Dr. Hernan Grecco (Co-Chairs of Argentinian Young Academy (AJA)) Dra. Luciana Balboa (AJA and Global Young Academy) Dr. Franco M.

Friends. Open-access publishing fees (better known as APC)deter researchers in the global south, shows recent research from Brazil. Please see the report in Nature:
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 Feb '22

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00342-w There is no reason why researchers in India's elite institutions should pay APC to publish their work and in the process and in the process transfer funds from Indian taxpayers to the coffers of already super rich (and greedy) publishers in Europe and the US. To me it appears to be an unethical and immoral practice. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Supporting arXiv
by Subbiah Arunachalam 15 Feb '22

15 Feb '22

Friends, Please see *https://www.btaa.org/about/news-and-publications/news/2022/02/10/btaa-and-arxiv-announce-agreement <https://www.btaa.org/about/news-and-publications/news/2022/02/10/btaa-and-a…>* . The Alliance of Big Ten Research Universities in the US have come forward to support arXiv. Because the faculty and students of these universities benefit immensely from the services provided by arXiv. This is the kind of voluntary cost sharing I would like Indian researchers and research institutions to take part in. At a time when Indian higher education institutions and the many laboratories under different agencies of the Government (DAE, DST, DBT, CSIR, ICAR, ICMR, UGC, etc.) are spending huge sums to provide access to information to their faculty, students and scientists, the money often going to beef up the profits of greedy commercial publishers in Europe and North America, I believe it is only fair we support arXiv. It is our ethical and moral duty. Regards.

Fwd: NISO Publishes E-Book Metadata Recommended Practice
by Shamprasad Pujar 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: NISO Announce <niso-announce(a)niso.org> Date: Fri, Feb 11, 2022 at 1:35 AM Subject: [DIGLIB] NISO Publishes E-Book Metadata Recommended Practice To: <diglib(a)iflalists.org> **Apologies for cross posting** Baltimore, MD, February 10, 2022: Today sees the publication of the NISO Recommended Practice, E-Book Bibliographic Metadata Requirements in the Sale, Publication, Discovery, Delivery, and Preservation Supply Chain (NISO RP-29-2022) <https://www.niso.org/publications/rp-29-2022-ebmd>. This document, prepared by the E-Book Metadata Working Group <https://www.niso.org/standards-committees/ebmd> and approved by the NISO Information Creation & Curation Topic Committee, incorporates feedback received from publishers, retailers, libraries, service providers, preservation agencies, and others who are using e-book metadata. The Recommended Practice focuses on several key areas for e-book metadata — defining the minimal requirements for sales, discovery, delivery, electronic holdings management, and preservation purposes; identifying the best way to transmit metadata through the supply chain; updates to titles and holdings; developing rules for e-book metadata deduplication purposes; and sharing a variety of examples of recommended practice implementation. The Recommended Practice focuses on key metadata elements — titles, names, dates, book identifiers, and subjects — to enable basic functions of e-book metadata that apply across all stakeholder organizations: identifying a book, matching records for the same book or version, and distinguishing records that refer to different books or versions. The goal is to provide principles and examples that support shared understanding and, where possible, alignment of e-book metadata practices across sectors, complementing existing e-book best practices and guidelines, such as those published by BISG, EDItEUR, and W3C. “Ensuring that all stakeholders have a shared understanding of standards, practices, and purposes for the metadata they use is crucial,” says Working Group co-chair Ravit David of Scholars Portal, University of Toronto, “especially since the format, transmission, and applications of e-book metadata are constantly changing, and workflows and data exchange are increasingly automated, massive in scale, and networked.” Ravit’s co-chair, Alistair Morrison of Johns Hopkins University, notes, “Involving a broad and diverse group of stakeholders, both in the Working Group and through the public comment period, has enabled us to ensure that our recommendations can be widely adopted and used throughout all sectors of the information community.” "NISO is very grateful to Ravit, Alistair, and all the members of the E-Book Metadata Working Group for developing this Recommended Practice, as well as to everyone who took the time to comment on it,” says NISO's Executive Director, Todd Carpenter. “Implementing these recommendations will benefit the whole e-book community — from authors to readers, from publishers to retailers, vendors, and libraries.” The Recommended Practice is freely available at http://www.niso.org/standards-committees/ebmd About NISO NISO, based in Baltimore, Maryland, fosters the development and maintenance of standards that facilitate the creation, persistent management, and effective interchange of information so that it can be trusted for use in research and learning. To fulfill this mission, NISO engages libraries, publishers, information aggregators, and other organizations that support learning, research, and scholarship through the creation, organization, management, and curation of knowledge. NISO works with intersecting communities of interest and across the entire lifecycle of information standards. NISO is a non-profit association accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). For more information, visit the NISO website (https://niso.org).

Re: [LIS-Forum] Pirates of the world, unite and pirate everything I’ve ever written! - Paulo Coelho
by Subbiah Arunachalam 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

Friends, Allow me to add my two cents to the discussion generated by Mr Muthu Madhan's post on Paulo Coelho's 'interesting call.' Is Ms Alextandra Elbakyan a thief, or is she stealing from others? No, she is not a thief nor is she stealing from others. What she is doing is helping researchers achieve what they want to achieve but cannot achieve as individuals. Why do researchers around the world (including the tens of thousands in India and the rest of the Global South) write up their findings? Because they want to make their findings known to other researchers around the world, who in turn can use the findings along with the findings of many other researchers in their own research. As Sir Isaac Newton famously said in a letter he wrote to Robert Hooke as far back as 1675, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." By shoulders of giants, Newton meant the work of others. It is important for us to remember what Prof. Robert Merton has said about science; it is a communal (or community) activity, a collective enterprise of building knowledge brick by brick, the bricks coming from thousands of researchers and research groups (past and current), and institutions around the world. Ms Elbakyan and SciHub are making it possible for individual researchers around the world, no matter where they live and work, to make their own contribution by facilitating access to the bricks made by others. All one needs is access to the Internet and a device (say a laptop or mobile phone). At a scale unimaginable till two or three decades ago. She deserves to be rewarded for her innovative solution to a long standing problem (of access to relevant information) and not accused of thievery. Whose work is she making available to researchers (and whoever is interested)? The work of researchers which they want to give away to others so it could be read, used to advance knowledge and used in other ways, say in teaching and in treating patients in hospitals. As far as I know, no researcher has objected to Elbakyan making their work available to a worldwide audience. In the course of my work I meet a number of physicists, and they all make their preprints available through arXiv. In recent years, biologists and chemists have started placing their preprints in bioRxiv and chemRxiv. Why? All of them want their work to be known by researchers all over the world and almost immediately. Which is exactly what Ms Elbakyan is doing. Which is what Aaron Swartz tried to do before his untimely death in 2013 at the age of 26. No owner of scientific/scholarly knowledge has objected to Elbakyan making their work publicly accessible or dragged SciHub to court. It is some intermediaries who use scientific journal publishing as 'a perpetual financing machine' (I did not coin this term; it was coined by the man who actually showed that journal publishing is a perpetual financing machine, Mr Robert Maxwell), who are suing SciHub and Ms Elbakyan. Please see https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/sep/13/ scientific-publishing-rip-off-taxpayers-fund-research . If you want to hear it from an Indian expert, please listen to the last 13 minutes of Prof. Balaram's 22-minute talk at the IISc DST CPR OA Week 2021 webinar. [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdCoJUrqeQA&t=3s; see from 08.45]. In reality, it is these intermediaries (unfortunately, including a large professional society) who are keen to protect their revenue and profit margins at the expense of science, scientists and knowledge production who have gone to court. Does it cost money to produce knowledge? Undoubtedly, yes. You can't build and sustain TIFRs, IITs, IISc and other centres of scientific learning and knowledge production without investing huge sums of money. That is why enlightened governments and philanthropic organizations around the world continue to invest huge sums on setting up such institutions and supporting the research and allied activities of the scientists and students working in these and other research institutions. Often, governments have to make choices such as should one invest their limited resources in scientific research or should one invest in poverty alleviation or providing noon meal to poor children who might not otherwise be able to attend schools. Obviously, scientists and their institutions must be aware of the need to spend the funds with utmost care. That is why we should not support publishers who have made 'journal publishing a perpetual financing machine' and who report upwards of 35% profit year after year. That is why we should persuade our government and its various agencies not to underwrite the immoral and unethical practice of paying APC to journal publishers. That is why we should collectively insist that the many institutional archives and central repositories in our country be run professionally.

A directory of open access preprint repositories
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

Here is a message from Ms Kathleen Shearer, Executive Director, COAR [as seen in the GOAL list]. We should make sure that ALL preprint repositories in India find a place in this Directory. February 1, 2022 – The Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe (CCSD <https://www.ccsd.cnrs.fr/en/>) of France and the Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR <https://www.coar-repositories.org/>) are pleased to announce their formal collaboration to launch a directory of open access preprint repositories. Preprints are becoming an increasingly important part of the research communications landscape. Posting preprints allows researchers to share their research freely and rapidly with their colleagues and the broader community. However, the community has no single tool to view the current preprint landscape. Existing registries are either exhaustive and cover all types of repositories or focus on preprints in a single discipline. This directory will bring together all repositories that collect preprints into a single database, enabling users to choose the most suitable platform for their needs and to have an overview of the preprint ecosystem. The directory will build on the outcomes of a project undertaken by the French Committee for Open Science (Preprints Platforms Project < https://www.ouvrirlascience.fr/prepublication-platforms/>) and supported by the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI), which has developed an extensive and detailed catalog of preprint repositories. The current list of preprints documents over 90 preprint repositories along with details about their management, functionalities, and related services and their relation to open science criteria. As part of the collaboration, COAR will develop a database and user interface with input from the Preprint Platforms Project and the support from MESRI. COAR will host the preprint directory and CCSD will be curating the metadata records ensuring the registry remains up-to-date. The directory will be publicly available for all, and, as much as possible, will align with other related directories, such as OpenDOAR and the ASAPbio list of preprint servers. The preprint directory will be publicly available in the spring of 2022.

RIP Barbara Kirsop, a great friend of science in the Global South
by Subbiah Arunachalam 29 Jan '22

29 Jan '22

It is with deep sorrow that I inform the LIS community that Ms Barbara Kirsop, a great champion of the cause of unhindered access to and free flow of knowledge, passed away at the age of 93. She lived in Worksop, UK, but she was a citizen of the world and a great friend of science in the developing countries. She not only believed that developed countries have much to learn from the developing countries and the transfer of knowledge from the South to the North is equally important as that from the North to the South, but also worked tirelessly towards correcting the imbalance. She was one of the founders of Bioline International and the Electronic Publishing Trust for Development, the organization that gave awards to both Dr Francis Jayakanth and Muthu Madhan for contributing to the development of OA in India . "She was a very special human being and the world was better for her passing through it," says Alma Swan who co-drafted the Bangalore Declaration on Open Access in 2006 [ https://www.currentscience.ac.in/Volumes/92/03/0276.pdf]. Ms Kirsop conducted, along with her long-time associate Leslie Chan, India's first workshop on electronic publishing in 2002 at the Indian Institute of Science, and one of the participants, Dr D K Sahu, went on to become a champion of OA and a leading publisher of peer-reviewed OA journals in the world. I have had the privilege of working with Ms Kirsopr and co-authoring several papers with her and Prof. Chan, all of them open access of course. Barbara was a gentle soul, kindness personified, but when it came to achieving our common goal of universal open access she remained a frontline soldier, steadfast and uncompromising. In her passing the OA movement and researchers in the Global South have lost a true champion. And I have lost a great friend, mentor and guide. The best tribute we can pay her is to take forward her unfinished work. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Across the research and higher education sector, libraries have demonstrated their ability to adapt and thrive, and have underlined their importance and value to research and scholarship. The #RLUK22 Conference will delve into what the new open will mean for research libraries. We don’t look back to restoring what once was, but instead look forward to the future library now. This period of disruption has accelerated the evolution of our libraries, across the digital and physical space. We have an opportunity to rethink all aspects of our libraries with an openness agenda in mind: our priorities, our infrastructure, our staff and ways of working, our services and relationships with our users, and what our libraries mean to them. How can we use the transformative power of the library to affect change on campus and in the wider research landscape? About the Conference The conference is open to all and is an excellent opportunity for colleagues to connect and discuss how we can help shape the research library of the 21st century. You can find out about the conference fees on the RLUK Conference website, including details of the significantgroup discounts that have been introduced this year for institutions and organisations sending over five colleagues to the conference. There are also a number of bursaries on offer formembers of ethnic minority communities and other underrepresented groups within the library and information sectors, early career researchers and professionals, and those that require extra support to participate in the conference.
