JISC & British Library Report - Researchers of Tomorrow: The research behaviour of Generation Y doctoral students
by Mailing List Admin 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2012 05:11:44 +0000 From: Dr. Indira Koneru <indk68(a)hotmail.com> Dear All, JISC & the British Library released the report "Researchers of Tomorrow: The research behaviour of Generation Y doctoral students" on June 28, 2012. Researchers of Tomorrow is the UK's largest study to date on the research behaviour of Generation Y doctoral students (born between 1982 and 1994). JISC and the British Library jointly commissioned the three year study in 2009, which involved 17,000 doctoral students from 70 universities at various stages in the project. The research findings reveal: Doctoral students are increasingly reliant on secondary research resources (eg journal articles, books), moving away from primary materials (eg primary archival material and large datasets). Access to relevant resources is a major constraint for doctoral students� progress. Authentication access and licence limitations to subscription-based resources, such as e-journals, are particularly problematic. Open access and copyright appear to be a source of confusion for Generation Y doctoral students, rather than encouraging innovation and collaborative research. This generation of doctoral students operate in an environment where their research behaviour does not use the full potential of innovative technology. Doctoral students are insufficiently trained or informed to be able to fully embrace the latest opportunities in the digital information environment. These findings raise important questions about research development, training and support within research led organisations and the openness and sharing of research.� Source: JISC This study accentuates the need for Information Literacy instructions. Isn't it? You can read or download the report from http://www.jisc.ac.uk/publications/reports/2012/researchers-of-tomorrow Regards, Indira ------ Moodle Administrator IBS India http://wikieducator.org/User:Indkon http://lisprofessionaldevelopment.blogspot.in/

EPT's response the Finch Committee Report
by Mailing List Admin 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2012 16:13:05 -0700 (PDT) From: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah_a(a)yahoo.com> From Richard Poynder,s Open and Shut blog Wednesday, July 18, 2012 The Finch Report and its implications for the developing world There are two routes to�Open Access. With�gold OA, publishers cease to�charge readers�to access scholarly journals (in the form of subscriptions), but instead charge authors, or their funders or institutions, to publish their papers (by means of an article-processing charge, or�APC). This allows publishers to make research papers freely available on the Internet. With�green OA, researchers continue to publish in subscription journals (without payment), but then self-archive their papers in their�institutional repository, usually after an embargo period. In this way, researchers can make their papers freely available themselves. Over the years there has been much debate as to which is the better method for achieving OA, but no consensus has ever been reached. In the past month, however, a number of developments have served to focus minds on the respective merits of green and gold as never before. It began with the publication on 18th June of the�Finch Report. Chaired by�Dame Janet Finch, a sociologist at the University of Manchester, the Finch Committee was formed last year by the UK Minister for Universities and Science�David Willetts, and asked to consider how access to research could be expanded. Clear policy direction After giving the matter due consideration, the Finch Committee concluded that a clear policy direction should be set towards supporting publication in open access or hybrid�journals, funded by APCs, as the main vehicle for the publication of research, especially where the research has been publicly funded. In other words, Finch recommended that gold OA should be viewed as the norm for publishing research papers. By contrast, Finch recommended that the institutional repository (i.e. green OA) should be relegated to the role of bit player, merely providing access to research data and to grey literature and assisting in digital preservation. Where self-archiving does take place, Finch suggested, it would be unreasonable to allow papers to be deposited before an embargo period of at least 12 months had passed (except where publishers do not offer a mechanism to pay for OA gold). The Finch report ignited a firestorm of protest, not least because it estimated that its recommendations would cost the UK research community an additional 50-60 million UK Pounds a year. Since it was clear that there would be no additional funding from the UK government, this meant that universities would have to find the additional money from existing budgets. University College London (UCL) Vice-Provost (Research) David Price concluded, "The result of the Finch recommendations would be to cripple university systems with extra expense. Finch is certainly a cure to the problem of access, but is it not a cure which is actually worse than the disease?" Serving to spur on the complaints, a few weeks later a report commissioned by the UK Open Access Implementation Group (OAIG) concluded that green OA offered a much more cost-effective route. Specifically, OAIG said, where a unilateral move to gold OA in the UK would cost large research intensive institutions about £1.7 million a year, a unilateral move to green OA would cost only around £100,000 a year. In this light, it is perhaps unsurprising that when on July 16th Research Councils UK (RCUK) announced its new OA policy, it reinstated green OA as an equal partner to gold, and insisted on no more than a 6-month embargo (except for humanities and social science papers), apparently ignoring many of the Finch recommendations. RCUK's new policy, we should note, was published just hours before David Willetts announced that he was accepting all the Finch proposals, bar one on VAT rates for e-journals. The very next day (yesterday) the EC issued a Communication on providing better access to scientific information in which it proposed an OA policy that mimics the RCUK policy. No easy task Where this leaves the Finch recommendations remains unclear. What is clear, however, is that adopting a national OA policy in a research environment that is truly global is no easy task - particularly where gold OA is viewed as the main vehicle for achieving OA.

Entrepreneurial Scope of Information Science Professionals
by Dr. Badan Barman 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

Respected Members of the Forum, Many of our colleagues are not getting the right job they deserved after their BLISc/MLISc degree. Some others even are shifting to other jobs, where MLISc / BLISc are not needed. Recently I go through some articles on alternative carriers in Librarianship. Even we are organizing one Regional Seminar on Entrepreneurial Approach of Library Professionals (In connection with Librarians’ Day)<http://lislinks.com/events/regional-seminar-on-entrepreneurial-approach-of-…> ( http://lislinks.com/events/regional-seminar-on-entrepreneurial-approach-of-… ). So I would like to have the opinion of my professionals colleagues regarding what else can be done with the BLISc/BLIB/MLISc degree? What are the possible scopes of a Librarian to be an entrepreneur? Thanking you, Yours faithfully (Dr. Badan Barman) Academic Consultant, Library & Information Science, Krishna Kanta Handiqui State Open University, Housefed Complex, Last Gate, Guwahati-781006, Assam *Toll Free Number:* 1800 345 3613 *Phone:* 0361-2234964 / 2235971 / 092070 49493 *Fax:* 0361- 2235398. *Institutional Websites:* http://www.snkkhsou.org / http://www.clkkhsou.org/ http://www.kkhsou.in *Personal Websites:* http://www.lislinks.com / http://www.lisformats.com / http://www.oajse.com / http://www.netugc.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Book returned to library after 80 years
by Sambhu Nath Halder 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

*Dear Professionals, * * * *There is an interesting newscast at *ANI | Jul 14, 2012, 12.00AM IST ** * * *A book that had been issued from Navan library in the Republic of Ireland<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Republic-of-Ireland>, has been returned 80 years late.* A mystery borrower slipped the book discreetly through the letterbox at the county library at the weekend. It was checked out in 1932. County librarian<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/County-librarian> Ciaran Mangan <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Ciaran-Mangan> estimates that the book has chalked up a fine of 4,160 euros, based on the original 1930s fine of one penny per week. But they are just delighted to see it back. "It was an item that had been out on loan effectively since it was published and put into stock and the system in 1932," the BBC<http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/BBC>quoted him as saying. The librarian calculated the fine incurred by the book, but they would like to make a bargain for the penalty. "As good Christians, we decided we would waive that fine if the person appears in person and confesses to having returned the book," the librarian said. There are no details on the original borrower because the library's computerised records only date back to 1994. However, someone may have had their conscience pricked because the overdue book is a pictorial record of the 31st International Eucharistic Congress in Dublin <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Dublin> in 1932. The 50th International Eucharistic Congress takes place in Dublin next month. The book has generated a lot of interest. "We believe it was well cared for and was probably shelved with the family's collection, getting lost among their own books. "We have it on display as it is attracting a lot of attraction," Mangan said.

Free access to British scientific research within two years
by G Mahesh 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Free access to British scientific research within two years >From The Guardian, UK, Sunday 15 July 2012 The government is to unveil controversial plans to make publicly funded scientific research immediately available for anyone to read for free by 2014, in the most radical shakeup of academic publishing since the invention of the internet. Under the scheme, research papers that describe work paid for by the British taxpayer will be free online for universities, companies and individuals to use for any purpose, wherever they are in the world. In an interview with the Guardian before Monday's announcement David Willetts, the universities and science minister, said he expected a full transformation to the open approach over the next two years. The move reflects a groundswell of support for "open access" publishing among academics who have long protested that journal publishers make large profits by locking research behind online paywalls. "If the taxpayer has paid for this research to happen, that work shouldn't be put behind a paywall before a British citizen can read it," Willetts said. "This will take time to build up, but within a couple of years we should see this fully feeding through." He said he thought there would be "massive" economic benefits to making research open to everyone. Though many academics will welcome the announcement, some scientists contacted by the Guardian were dismayed that the cost of the transition, which could reach £50m a year, must be covered by the existing science budget and that no new money would be found to fund the process. That could lead to less research and fewer valuable papers being published. British universities now pay around £200m a year in subscription fees to journal publishers, but under the new scheme, authors will pay "article processing charges" (APCs) to have their papers peer reviewed, edited and made freely available online. The typical APC is around £2,000 per article. Tensions between academics and the larger publishing companies have risen steeply in recent months as researchers have baulked at journal subscription charges their libraries were asked to pay. More than 12,000 academics have boycotted the Dutch publisher Elsevier, in part of a broader campaign against the industry that has been called the "academic spring"........

SHODHGANGA, E-WAY TO ARCHIVE THESES
by Mailing List Admin 16 Jul '12

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:33:15 +0530 From: Ragaavendra R <Ragaavendra_R(a)jubilantbiosys.com> University of Mysore to take up digitisation of research work Access to the repository of theses could be a mouse click away in the near future. The University of Mysore has inked a memorandum of understanding with Inflibnet to digitise its repository of theses as part of the ‘Shodhganga’ project. Theses submitted to various universities are not available most of the time for reference due to various reasons. Comparing notes on research already done is a difficult proposition. And this has led to repetition of research on the same topics causing wastage of human resources, money and time. To provide an open and easy access to Indian theses and dissertations to the academic community worldwide and to avoid repetitions, the University Grants Commission in collaboration with Inflibnet (informationlibrary network) has come up with an innovative concept called ‘Shodhganga,’ a repository of Indian theses. The system The theses submitted by research scholars of Indian universities will be uploaded on the repository. One can go through the entire gamut of theses of choice and refer other theses too, with the help of Shodhganga. Digitisation is also part of the project wherein universities are given funds to digitise old theses. Plagiarism in research can be avoided to a great deal with Shodhganga. The universities will be provided softwares to detect plagiarism. Shodhganga will help avoid the repetition of research on the same topic and help research scholars to come up with findings of their own, said CP Ramesh, Librarian, University of Mysore. Shodhgangothri, another initiative, allows researchers to get to know of ongoing research in Indian universities. Under the project, the synopsis approved by the universities will be made available to researchers.

[ELF] Evaluating Online Information
by Mailing List Admin 16 Jul '12

Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2012 06:43:05 +0000 From: Engg-Lib-Forum from India <krmulla(a)gmail.com> With the exponential growth of the world wide web, students need a more critical eye to sift through the bulk of information available online. While the Internet speeds up access to information, it also paves to the publication of anything, by anyone anywhere. Gone are the days when articles must be critiqued and evaluated before publication. Today, scholarly articles are not just buried in the bounty files of information. Their unscholarly counterparts also outnumber them. This reality reinforces the importance of critically evaluating online information. College students should learn the art of evaluating web-based information to make the most of them.
