Gates Foundation and free access
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

The Gates Foundation is pushing for more free access to academic papers. “Under the new policy, the researchers that the organization funds will only be able to publish papers that are immediately freely accessible to the public. That means that these scientists wouldn’t necessarily be able to publish in top journals like Science that charge for access to its articles — unless these journals change their policies or open up those particular papers. And, since the Gates Foundation funds so much research, there will be pressure on these journals to do so (or else they’ll lose out on potentially important papers).” http://www.vox.com/2014/11/24/7277319/gates-foundation-free-journals Dr P Vyasamoorthy 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015 Telangana LL 040-27846631 / Mobile: 9490804278 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Sad demise
by Venkata Kesavan 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

Dear Friends, I am shocked to learn about the 'sad demise' of our fellow LIS Professional, Shri Satish Deshpande. I have known Late Shri Deshpande for over last two decades - first, I, as the member of British Library, Ahmedabad (where he had put in his lifetime of excellent service) and later on, as my colleague at the British Council, India. Shri Deshpande was one of the most dynamic, hardworking, dedicated and resourceful LIS colleagues, that I have had an opportunity to interact, collaborate and work with. He was an 'all-rounder LIS Professional', with extensive practical knowledge in all aspects of Modern Library and Information Services area, covering, Collection Development, Customer Services and Marketing, Library Automation and above all, he was a very good team leader and people oriented person. Shri Deshpande's untimely death is a great loss to our profession. I am sure, apart from his friends like us, the scholarly and professional community of Ahmedabad is going to miss Shri Deshpande, whom he had served for over last three decades. I express my sincere condolences to his Family, Friends, Relatives and Colleagues. May his soul rest in peace. Dr. R.

Sad demise of Satish Deshpande
by Anil Kumar 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

It is with a very heavy heart that I inform the library community of the sad and sudden demise of Satish Deshpande who was presently associated with Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. He was previously the librarian of The British Library Ahmedabad, which he served for about 29 years. One the finest professionals we had in India is no more. I am sad that such a wonderful library professional who touched thousands of lives in this country through his meticulous and professional service has left us. I remember my first meeting him in 1992 and while working with him I was always amazed at his energy and service oriented attitude till his passing away. He was a doyen in the Ahmedabad library fraternity and his departure is a great loss to librarianship in general. I pray to god to give his family the strength to bear this loss and may his soul rest in peace. Regards H. Anil Kumar Librarian Indian Institute of Management Vastrapur Ahmedabad 380 015 Ph: (079) 66324987 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
