Friends, What do you think of this initiative? http://www.tubebooks.org/technical_books_online.htm Maybe we should encourage our librarians to scan book titles for which copyright has expired and scan those books and create an open access archive of such books in all fields.

OJS now in Marathi
by Murari Tapaswi 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

Dear LIS Members, As you are all aware, there exists an open source software for an online journal publication called Open Journal Systems (OJS). While this has been translated in many European languages, it was only available in Hindi as far as Indian Regional languages are concerned. With the last few month's effort, this has now been translated into Marathi. About 1350 strings from OJS and 4250 strings from PKP (Public Knowledge Project - it revealed that OJS picks up some strings from PKP as well) have been translated. This is likely to help the journals in the Marathi language to have an Internet presence. I appeal to Marathi-speaking community members whose institutions are publishing a journal (this is useful for even a newsletter) to give a try in using OJS in Marathi. OJS has several options (e.g. open access journal, paywalled journal, journal with or without review process, obtaining DoI for every article, engaging with archival agencies such as LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, etc. - all basic to most advanced ways of running a journal. Please give it a try. Setting up a journal is not my cup of tea. So if you/your institution has an opportunity, please give a try and let me know in case if I need to do any more translations. Thank you. Regards, - Tapaswi मुरारी तपस्वी, Ph.D.,४, सिंगबाळ बिल्डींग, टोंका, करंझाळे, 403002 गोवा, भारत Murari Tapaswi, Ph.D., 4 Singbal Bldg, Tonca, Caranzale, 403002 Goa, India फोन/ Phone: 9763341967 भेट द्या/ visit: https://sites.google.com/view/muraritapaswi/home
