Books in Your Pants
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 12 Jul '15

Librarians in Public Libraries may vouch for this Quote: "In Your Pants" is a phenomenon discovered by Maureen Johnson. If you add "In Your Pants" to the end of book titles, those book titles become much funnier. -John Green Is this so ? Go to URL given below - please copy and paste - and find out how many titles already end "in your pants". http://booksinyourpants.tumblr.com/?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma Vyasamoorthy PS: Anyone still remembers Dhillon's Hypothesis of Titular Colonicity? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] [Open-access] ORCiD and Libraries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 11 Jul '15

11 Jul '15

Thanks very much. Dr Krichel points out that ORCiD is not OA. The purpose of ORCiD is for each publication to be attributed to its right authors and not to someone else with a similar sounding name. In China there are tens of thousands of authors whose names as rendered in English will be spelt as W A N G. Some of them may be physicists, others molecular biologists and some others economists. Same is the case with people with the name P A R K in Kore and S I N G H in India. ORCiD ensures each paper is associated with the right author. Is that not a very useful service? Also, each author will have all his papers - and only his papers - assigned to him. Dr Manjunath refers to the research management tools and asserts that ORCiD and VIVO put together is still incomplete. I do not get the point. But I just saw this article in Wikipedia: < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_research_networking_tools_and_r… >. May be Dr Manjunath will find his answer there. ORCiD encompasses Researcher ID and Scopus author ID in the sense all one needs to use is ORCiD and it will automatically bring in data from the other two if the individual instructs it to do so. Best wishes. Arun On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 2:49 PM, Vignoli Michela <Michela.Vignoli(a)ait.ac.at> wrote: > Hi Thomas and all, > > Are there good alternatives to ORCID?

by Vimal Kumar V. 09 Jul '15

*Dear Friends,Led by vice chancellors, Dutch universities have recently announced plans for a country-wide boycott of the academic publisher Elsevier. This boycott has the potential to be a significant game changer in the relationship between the research community and the world’s largest academic publisher. But how will it affect open access momentum in the UK and around the world? Here we have brought together two expert views on the subject. **Danny Kingsley <http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2015/07/08/dutch-universities…>**, the Head of Scholarly Communication at University of Cambridge and **Steven Harnad <http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2015/07/08/dutch-universities…>* *, longtime advocate for open access, share their views on what the Dutch boycott can hope to achieve.Red full article,http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2015/07/08/dutch-universities-boycott-elsevier/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+feedburner%2FLSEImpactBlog+%28LSE+Impact+Blog%29 <http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2015/07/08/dutch-universities…>* *Regards,* -- Vimal Kumar V.
