Patent infringement is the commission of a prohibited act with respect to a patented <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention> invention without permission from the <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent> patent holder. According to Anindya Sircar, Head of IP Cell at Infosys Technology, Bangalore, "IP risk assessment before product launch in a given territory is extremely critical for the business today and is an essential step to mitigate future infringement possibilities." Therefore risk assessment before launching a product or the process to make such product is extremely crucial for any business. The course has been specifically designed to the students, researchers who want to pursue career in the area of Intellectual Property Rights as well as the people already working in this area but want to further refine their skills.

Dear fiends, Subscription of online electronic journals is always spelled out with license agreements with publishers. The licenses for electronic resources impose two types of restrictions on its usage, namely i) who can use these resources; and ii) how the resources can be used. The first restriction defines authorized users for e-resources, which generally includes students, faculty, staff and onsite visitors of a subscribing institution. The second restriction deals with how these resources can be used. It should use for personal, educational and research purposes only. Systematic downloading or printing of entire journal issues or volumes, or large portions of other e-resources are prohibited by the publisher. As they are playing with research outputs done around the world but the originality to them are commercial publishers. They did not want to use their resources commercially by the other person or organisation. .They have registered to their products under the copyright laws that mean not to use by any commercial purposes. Why we should make systematic downloads? Could we read all the documents at a time? The answer is obviously “No”. So, It is the responsibility of individual users to ensure that e-resources are used for personal, educational and research purposes only.

Call for Papers & Participation http://www.egranth.ac.in/sites/default/files/ncaluc.html National Conference of Agricultural Libraries and User Community 2011 on “Agricultural Libraries in the Knowledge Web” 24-25 February 2011 Venue:B.P. Pal Auditorium, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, PUSA, New Delhi-110012 About the Conference Access to Digital Resources is of paramount importance to the researchers, academicians, students and other stack holders. Under the aegis of Indian Council of Agricultural Research, mega efforts are being made to strengthen Digital Library, create open access Institutional Repository, providing access to Digital Resources viz. commercially published journals and databases on the desktop of scientists, enhancing the web presence, eCourses development and hosting, crop specific knowledge portals and web services through World Bank funded National Agricultural Innovation Project. In this era of transition from information age to knowledge society, libraries have much greater challenges to face. It is not only the advancing technology, there is change in the medium from physical to virtual, concept of service delivery has changed from one way to two way interactive and more customized to user needs. The whole perception of library has changed from collection of books to a single window knowledgebank. To be ready to migrate to knowledge society we need to sensitize the Indian National Agricultural Research System (NARS) comprising of State Agricultural Universities and Research Institutions in agriculture sector.

[MLOSC.12392] if non received the journal
by Banerjee, Bharati 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Sir, This is in connection with the above issue. I observe that many librarians have expressed helplessness concerning the agencies which fail to deliver the issues in spite of being paid the subscription in advance. One way to overcome this problem is to sign an agreement on 100 rupee stamp paper beforehand which would contain the terms and conditions of the transaction. The agreement can include a clause about the non-receipt of issues and the time frame within which the copies are to be received as well as refund of the subscription amount in case the missing issues are not available after specified date. The agreement should further specify that in case of dispute, the matter will be resolved legally in whichever state the library is located. This agreement will be jointly signed by the librarian (on behalf of the library) and the vendor. The vendor should also produce a witness who would sign the agreement in addition to him. The agreement safeguards the interests of the library since it's a legal document.

CONTU Guidelines
by M S Sridhar 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Dear Vijaya Kumar, An informal aggreement called CONTU Gidelines has been worked and followed by Authors, Publishers and Librarians in order to resolve *Systematic Reproduction* clause of US Copyright Act section 108 (g): 1. CONTU Guidelines for copying from periodicals apply only to materials less than five years old (referred to as part of the "rule of five"). 2. Up to five articles may be copied from a single periodical in one calendar year under the ILL provision (referred to as part of the "rule of five"). 3. A library with a subscription for a periodical which is not immediately available may consider a copy obtained from another library as if made from its own collection. 4. All ILL requests must be accompanied by a copyright compliance statement from the requesting library. The requesting library must maintain records of all requests and of their fulfillment. These records must be kept for three calendar years after the request has been made. 5. No more than six copies of articles/chapters/small portions may be made from a non-periodical (including a book) during the entire term of copyright of the work. 6. For copying beyond the CONTU Guidelines, the library may need to obtain copyright permission directly from the copyright holder or from a representative such as Copyright Clearance Center<http://www.copyright.com/ccc/viewPage.do?pageCode=ac1-n>. -- With best regards. Sincerely yours, *Dr. M S Sridhar (ಡಾ. ಎಂ. ಎಸ್. ಶ್ರೀಧರ್) *http://stores.lulu.com/mssridhar http://www.scribd.com/people/documents/75039-m-s-sridhar -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Libraries should be heaven for all
by Swapan Patra 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

To Administrator, Dear Sir, Please publish this news item on your forum. The item is published in China Daily dated 1st February 2011. I think Indian libraries can learn lesson from Chinese experience. thanks -- Swapan Kumar Patra Research Scholar Room No- 232 SSS-I Centre for Studies in Science Policy School of Social Sciences Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi-110067 INDIA Ph-+91-9213224875 Libraries should be heaven for allBy Xu Xiaomin (China Daily) Updated: 2011-02-01 07:56 A library in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, garnered nationwide attention a while back, not for its vast collection of books or its range of cultural events, but because it allowed beggars and other disadvantaged people to use its services. Chu Shuqing, the library's curator, famously said: "I don't have the right to keep them (the beggars) away from the library, but anyone (who doesn't agree) has the right to leave." The comment caused heated debate on the Internet. Another library director told the media that this wasn't news because as a public service the library welcomed all people who like reading. Like many others, the incident grabbed my attention. "What? A beggar, who may be ill, is allowed to be in a library? How could other readers stand to sit with him side by side?" was my initial reaction. But the director's response to the media made me ashamed of myself. Since a library is for the public, it should welcome all people who are fair in front of the law and should not judge anyone before exploring the truth. What makes such "non-news" important? I think it is because as a society we are used to classifying people into different classes and groups and giving them a label. The wealthy are depicted as the "noble community" in many advertisements, students who return from overseas study are the "elite", while beggars and the homeless are all illiterate and up to no good. Society is inclined to put those in the more attractive groups on a pedestal and tries to cozy up to them, but gives a cold shoulder to those in the more disadvantaged groups, such as beggars. But is this behavior good for society? I think the answer is no. The writer Lung Ying-tai said that the standard by which to measure the civilization of a society is not how many high-rises it has or how many limousines are on the street, but its attitude toward the socially vulnerable groups. I couldn't agree with her more. To me, the criteria to judge the quality of a society is not how it treats the "elite", but its attitude and treatment toward the more disadvantaged groups. Big cities, like Shanghai, treat the elite groups very well. The city government has built low-rent apartments for overseas talent working in Shanghai and various policies seem to mostly benefit those with a good educational background. Some Chinese cities have started building special houses for the homeless, establishing more homes for the elderly and giving subsidies to families before Spring Festival. But compared with all they provide the elite, it is still not enough. What's worse is that the public's attitude toward the disadvantaged hasn't changed much. Even though traditional Chinese culture encourages us to show sympathy and compassion for disadvantaged groups, it doesn't encourage us to respect them as other human beings. The result is that people look down on them after showing their compassion. The comedy actor Zhao Benshan was sued by US audiences when he performed overseas, as during the performance his troupe made fun of the obese, disabled people and people with mental health problems. Zhao didn't understand that although Chinese audiences found making fun of these people amusing it offended audiences in the United States. The Argentinean writer Jorges Luis Borges once said "I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library". We can start building a paradise by first building a library for everyone, rich or poor. The author is director of the China Daily Shanghai News Center.
