[Open-access] is open access only for rich countries? invitation to a discussion

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: sumandro <mail(a)ajantriks.net> Date: Thu, Nov 22, 2012 at 4:11 AM Subject: [Open-access] is open access only for rich countries? invitation to a discussion To: open-access(a)lists.okfn.org Participate now in an online dialogue on open access and the developing world You are invited to take part in an online discussion on Open Access (OA) from the perspective of the developing world. Funded by DFID, through the Mobilising Knowledge for Development (MK4D) programme in the Institute for Development Studies at Sussex University, and managed through the African Commons project in South Africa and the Centre for Internet and Society in India, the discussion will be hosted on UNESCO’s WSIS Open Access Community Forum. This open access dialogue will provide a valuable space to discuss different perspectives on what open access means for the developing world and what it can offer. There is compelling evidence which indicates that OA has finally entered mainstream discourse. Yet, in the developing world context there remain specific challenges and untapped opportunities for OA. A series of open access discussions aimed at developing world critical thinkers, activists and academics, seeks to explore insights and articulate opinion on OA in the developing world. Join us for stimulating debate! Register here: http://institutefordevelopmentstudies.createsend1.com/t/r-l-kuxltt-jluthukl… Setting the context Open access has enjoyed a great deal of acceptance and growth over the last decade, with a particularly strong spurt in the adoption of open access policies by major agencies and governments in the last 12 months. With open access policies and initiatives now being taken up by UNESCO, the World Bank, the FAO, the European Commission, and the governments of the United Kingdom and the United States, among others, it is clear that open access has entered the global mainstream. These policies stress the human rights potential of open access in providing access to scientific and cultural knowledge, ensuring its impact and ensuring public access to publicly funded research. We now know that open access can work in the immediate and short term in providing better access to the research literature, whilst some of the longer term consequences and effects are still emerging. This is especially so in the developing world, which has been badly served by the publishing system we have inherited from the 20th century, which has marginalized research from developing countries. New opportunities and possibilities are created by open access, and, at the same time certain pitfalls need to be noted and avoided. A foundational report prepared to inform this dialogue shows the risks posed to all scholarly communications, discourse and practices by the publish-or-perish system, and indicates that in the developing world, the detriments are potentially much deeper and more damaging. As researchers are incentivised to publish in overseas-based journals - mostly unavailable in many developing world contexts - this research ‘brain-drain’ risks widening the gap between research and policy [1]. Read more here Get discussing! The first debate will kick off on Tuesday, 27 November 2012. A general topic will be complemented by two sub discussions. The discussion will be hosted on the WSIS Knowledge Platform's Open Access group. To take part you will be required to register on the platform. KEY TOPIC: Production, publication and consumption of scholarly knowledge and OA. This will focus on the greater concern of scholarly research in the developing country context debating the questions: What does OA imply and offer the developing world in terms of production, publication and consumption of academic materials and research activities? What are the specific challenges and opportunities for access to knowledge in developing countries? Within this topic the following sub-themes will be introduced: Sub-theme 1: Considering the issues of 'translation' of research for development impact; co-production and increasing access to academic materials; and the importance of OA in producing and sharing of non-state-supported educational materials; and Sub-theme 2: OA in academia and the search for global prestige; the perverse impact of metrics and rankings; scholarly knowledge production; and sharing and consumption challenges in developing countries. We will keep you posted about the second debate which will take place early in January 2013. In the meantime you are also encouraged to tweet about the discussions using hashtag #developoa or follow the debates on Facebook here <http://institutefordevelopmentstudies.createsend1.com/t/r-l-kuxltt-jluthukl…>.

Rs 1,000 crore plan to link 9,000 libraries in India
by Mailing List Admin 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:36:46 +0530 From: Ragaavendra R <Ragaavendra_R(a)jubilantbiosys.com> In a bid to enable readers to easily access books and information, the Centre has decided to digitally link nearly 9,000 libraries across the country under the National Mission on Libraries (NML) at a cost of Rs 1,000 crore. Director of DELNET (Developing Library Network) and NML member H K Kaul told this at Vadodara on Monday. He was speaking on the eve of the three-day 15th national convention on 'Knowledge, Library and Information Networking' beginning here tomorrow. "There is a plan to modernise and digitally link nearly 9,000 libraries across the country in a bid to provide readers access to books and information," he said. Under the plan, libraries in several cities, towns and villages of the country would be linked in the next three years, he said adding that a proposal to spend Rs 1,000 crore on this project is pending before the Planning Commission for its approval. According to Mr. Kaul, a survey of reading habits of Indians and revival of community libraries and reading rooms has also been planned. He pointed out that Gujarat figures in the list of Indian states that lag behind in library development, "despite enacting Library Act in the respective States." "Library is a State subject and 16 States including Gujarat out of a total of 32 states, have enacted Library Act after getting passed in respective state assemblies," he said. However, library movement is not picking up in these States due to various reasons, one of which is non-allocation of sufficient funds, he said. "Therefore, the National Library Mission has decided to focus on improving the public library system of the country, focussing on the States where library development is lagging behind," Mr. Kaul said. A national census of libraries, upgradation of infrastructure of reading resources and work of modernising and promoting the networking of libraries would be taken up, Mr. Kaul said. Mr. Kaul also underlined the need to change syllabus of library courses being run by various universities and institutions for meeting challenges. About 250 delegates and experts from 32 States would take part in the three-day convention, which is being organised to mark the completion of 100 years of library movement in India, Mr. Kaul said. According to him, the convention coincides with the 150th birth anniversary of Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad III, late Maharaja of erstwhile princely state of Baroda, who, he said, had taken a lead in establishing and opening libraries in towns and villages in Central, South, North Gujarat and Saurashtra regions, which fell under his jurisdiction. The theme of the convention, hosted by the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, is 'Libraries for the future: collection, competencies and cooperation'.

Fw: Presenttaion on World Development Report 2013: Jobs
by Dr. Ramesh C Gaur 19 Nov '12

19 Nov '12

Central Library, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and The Public Information Center (PIC) India, The World Bank, New Delhi Cordially invites you to the Presentation on World Development Report 2013: Jobs by Mr. Martin Rama Director, 2013 World Development Report E-mail: mrama(a)worldbank.org Date: Tuesday, 27th November 2012 at 3.00 pm Venue: Lecture Hall-I, Convention Centre JNU, New Delhi About the Presenter: Director, 2013 World Development Report, the world bank His previous assignments include a one-year spell with the Chief Economist office in South Asia region, and from July to December 2010 he served as the acting regional Chief Economist. Over the previous eight years Martin was the Lead Economist for Vietnam. In this capacity, he oversaw the analytical program of the World Bank in areas related to economic policy and poverty reduction. His tasks included the preparation of the annual Vietnam Development Reports. He was also the focal person in the policy dialogue with government in relation to economic reforms, and led a series of annual policy lending operations co-financed by a dozen donors. During this eight-year period, Vietnam went from HIPC graduation to IBRD borrowing, while delivering a strong performance in terms of economic growth, job creation and social inclusion. Prior to moving to operations, Martin spent ten years with the research department of the Bank, mainly stationed in DC, but providing cross-support to a large number of developing countries. The main focus of his work was on labor issues. He co-managed a large research program on the impact of labor market policies and institutions on economic performance. He was also responsible for a major research initiative on public sector downsizing and served as a member of the Social Protection Board of the Bank. His research activities led to numerous publications in academic journals. Martin Rama gained his Ph.D. in macroeconomics in France in 1985. In his home country Uruguay, he worked in CINVE, the country's largest think tank, and became one of its directors. In parallel with his World Bank duties, he was visiting professor in development economics at the University of Paris until 2005. Outline of WDR 2013: Recent world events have put jobs at the center of the policy debate. In advanced economies, there is concern about a jobless recovery; in developing countries, continued growth cannot shield workers who are vulnerable to shocks. Political upheavals in the Arab world have highlighted the discontent of educated youth whose employment opportunities fall short of their expectations. The 2013 World Development Report on Jobs will help explain and analyze the connection between jobs and important dimensions of economic and social development. The Report will provide analytical tools to identify the obstacles to sustained job creation and examine differences in the nature of jobs, which in turn affects the potential of jobs to raise living standards, increase aggregate productivity, and enhance social cohesion. The Report explores the notion of a “good job” in that some jobs do more for economic and social development than others, because they reduce poverty and inequality, strengthen value chains and production clusters, or help build trust and shared values. The Report will examine efforts to stimulate production of higher value-added goods and services, boost the demand for labor, prepare today’s youth to become productive members of society, and ensure an efficient matching of supply and demand of labor. But the WDR 2013 also looks beyond the labor market, identifying the complementary policies needed to support the necessary structural shifts and the supply of needed skills. Infrastructure development, policies for competition and innovation, reforms in educational and training systems to equip tomorrow’s workers with the relevant skills and the architecture of social protection all have a bearing on the chances to create more and better jobs. The challenge for the WDR 2013 is to articulate a vision that cuts across sectors, addressing the dynamic links between growth strategies and jobs, and providing tools to consider policies and programs from a jobs perspective. The Report strives to provide a framework to address the most difficult jobs-related questions facing policy makers in developing countries. http://econ.worldbank.org/external/default/main?noSURL=Y&theSitePK=8258025&… Please make it convenient to attend.

Dear Colleagues, Please have a look at the mail appended to this mail - its a request for two complete eBooks - sent to the lis-forum recently. I have intentionally removed the sender's email and affiliation details. Such mails are received quite frequently and as the moderator, I feel very uncomfortable to approve such mails. More often than not, I have been holding back such mails from approval. I'm aware that a request for a journal article or a book chapter for academic purpose will come under the realm of fair use clause of the copyright law. However, asking for an entire book or several articles from one issue of a journal - even for academic purpose - will be a clear violation of copyright. Your views on the matter are welcome and they will help me to take a firm decision on such requests, henceforth. With best wishes, - Moderator ----------------------------------------------------- Mail sent lis-forum Requesting for eBooks follows: Dear all, One of our faculties require following E Book urgently.? If you have access to the same, kindly send us soft copies as soon as earlist? 1) Springer handbook of nanotechnology (Bhushan, Bharat (Ed.) 3rd ed., 2010, XLVIII, 1964 p. 1577 illus. in color.
