Dear Professional Friends, AICTE has made some mandatory regulations to subscribe international e Journal packages to the colleges comes under its per-view. Accordingly we got the quotations and prepared the proposal and got it approved from our college management. We have used the GOC in converting the foreign currencies. All of us know, GOC will fix the indian currency rate to foreign currencies and it announces the rate once in a month. Today I have received an email regarding the change of currency conversion and they have changed the USD rate to 56.30. Suddenly they have changed the conversion rate in between the month. Is it fair? If the currency rate comes below 50 INR will they return the amount? -- With Regards, C.T.Kantharaj Librarian, Cambridge Institute of Technology, K.R.Puram, Bangalore - 560036 -------------------------------- Phone: 080-25618798 / 99 Mobile: 9448611800 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Please listen seminar organisers
by Vimal Kumar 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

Dear Friends, Lot of seminars in national level announced recently. Announcement appeared in most of the discussion forums, blogs and social networking sites for library professionals. Paper presentation is the attraction of the seminar. Invitation mainly for attending the conference and inviting papers for presentation. Both participants and those who submit papers are need to register and pay the fee. Often, seminar registration fee is between Rs. 500 and 5000. Organisers also receiving fund from other agencies. Unfortunately, seminar organisers are not ensure the quality and content of the seminar. Most of the papers are equivalent to class assignment. All papers are accepted without peer reviewing. And no provision for plagiarism checking. It seems that main aim of the organisers are collect money by receiving maximum number of registration. Seminars should encourage the advancement of knowledge. Such events should act as a platform for showcasing current trends in the topic and participants can brush up their existing knowledge. Seminar organisers must ensure the quality of the event by receiving papers only after strict checking. And organisers should not receive registration fee from participants who like to submit papers. Prize for best paper is ideal for encourage authors to prepare quality publications. Separate prizes should distribute for best paper from student and working professionals. Organisers should send certificate to authors who could not attend the seminar. I request seminar organisers to rethink about existing practices followed in scholarly communication events. -- Vimal Kumar V.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Barrier & seeking solution for digitization of thesesfor digital library.
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Generally institution can not make any claim of ownership of student dissertations or theses. However, the institution can retain a non-exclusive license to make copies of dissertations or theses as needed for the academic or archival purposes of the institution. This can include providing open access to the work on the Internet (institutional repository). If necessary, to protect legitimate proprietary interests and IP (such as patent rights), students should have an option to delay the public display of their dissertation or thesis (embargo period), until they secure the patent. So, the copyright and IP right should remain with the student/researcher, not with the institution. Dr. J. K.

Fw: Take Down Censorship, Not Free Speech -- Please Sign the Online Petition
by Dimple Patel 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

The Indian government, which this year already passed new content-removal rules for websites, now wants to take it a step further and censor some of the most-used websites like Google and Facebook -- before the people of India even get to see the content! India's Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal is asking internet and social media companies to proactively pre-screen user-generated content and remove it before it gets published. Really? This brazen attempt to silence expression online must not be tolerated and cannot be allowed to come to pass. We've seen the chilling effect these types of measures have in censorship regimes like China, Iran, and, Burma. Now India? As more and more of India's 1.2 billion people come online -- internet usage is expected to triple over the next three years to 300 million users -- we have to work together to ensure India's right to information is protected and all our rights to view content, wherever we may live, are respected. The Minister is starting to hear the opposition to this law -- now we need to turn up the pressure until he backs down. Sign below: http://www.accessnow.org/take-down-censorship-not-speech Currently, executives from companies like Google and Facebook are discussing this proposal with the Indian government. Besides the blatant violation of freedom of expression, prescreening puts an extraordinary burden on companies, would slow down the delivery of information, and makes corporations the arbiters of speech. Whether or not companies feel such screening is plausible, they cannot be asked to be the ones to determinine what is disparaging and what is not. With our collective voice, we have the opportunity to prevent this rights-restricting proposal before it gets off the ground! Minister Sibal has said he endorses freedom of the press, but classifies speech on these sites as different. But we know there won't be a free press without free speech online. Let's call on the Indian government to endorse the democratic principle of freedom of speech by revising their content-removal rules and dropping this attempt to force companies to prescreen user generated content. http://www.accessnow.org/take-down-censorship-not-speech ( The message above is from accessnow.org, posted here for discussion, with a suggestion that Chapter Members take a look at the petition and sign the petition ) Sivasubramanian M -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
