From: Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy <vyasamoorthy(a)gmail.com> Sent: 06 June 2024 18:11 When we talk to a doctor, teacher, judge, police officer, etc we may experience a sense of respect and awe. They are socially superior in some way requiring our submissive behavior, or we concede so at a mental level. Is this necessary or correct I do not know. Similarly, would you consider a librarian with respect? Both men and women are employed as Librarians in India but in Western countries most of them are women. The salaries of library staff are low. In most institutions, even the chief librarian does not enjoy the status of the Head of the department but is asked to report to somebody two or three levels lower from the top. When I was employed as Librarian-cum-Technical-Info-officer in IDL, the grandmother of a friend of mine asked: Oh! your job is to dust and put back books in a library? That picturisation and image of a librarian has not improved or changed much! In my opinion, librarians and the society at large should think about increasing the vocational awe that librarians deserve. Trigger for this message: Hidden here!

India should share costs of opening up knowledge
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 May '24

31 May '24

Friends, The D2O (Direct-to-Open) model for publishing and distributing academic and scholarly books is here to stay. Please read https://news.mit.edu/2024/mit-press-direct-open-impact-report-0529. Leading Indian academic and research libraries that cater to large numbers of users should come forward to support such programmes by subscribing to them. While our institutions and librarians are ready to pay tens of thousands of dollars annually on books and journals published by for-profit publishers, most of them are reluctant to take part in the D2O programmes such as the one pioneered by the MIT Press and the S2O (Subscribe-to-Open) programmes pioneered by Annual Reviews Inc. Also, not many institutions in India support *arXiv* financially although a large number of Indian physicists, mathematicians, computational biologists and several others use *arXiv* extensively both to learn about the latest developments in their fields and to announce their own new results. On the one hand, our political and scientific leaders never miss an opportunity to tell the world that India is the third largest publisher of research papers and that we are close to becoming a scientific super power. On the other hand, there seems to be a reluctance to participate in the sharing of costs of publishing of books, journals and preprints which would anyway become freely accessible *thanks to others paying for them*. That is not what super powers would do. With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam
