Can anyone help me to find and how to find such qualitative publications within 10/5 years by Indian Librarians? Unfortunately I could not publish till date except one.

Respected Professional Colleagues, Greetings! *Admission Notification for** Post Graduate Diploma in Digital Library and Information Management (PGDLIM) 2022-23 Academic Year** TISS Mumbai* The hallmark of today’s knowledge society is its access to humongous amounts of constantly generated information and data. However, this information explosion has given way to another challenge, i.e. dealing with the problem of plenty. With too much information being made available, it has become impossible for today's researchers, scientists and students to effectively deal with new knowledge and its application for their studies and research. As we move ahead in the digital world, librarians and Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals have been playing a critical role of being the facilitators to access the digital learning resources. This unprecedented shift towards digital modes of education due to the Covid 19 pandemic has created the need for highly skilled and well trained information management professionals across various domains. TISS has launched this cutting edge programme to deal with this challenge. This 36 credits one year dual mode programme uses contact classes and extensive online learning platform Moodle. The course components are a combination of sound theory, extensive practicals and experiential. The core learning components comprises of Digital library and Information Archival software; DSpace, Greenstone, Content Management Software; Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, Reference Management Software; Zotero, Mendeley, EndNotes, Data mining and Data Visualisation tools like Tableau.VOSviewer, analyzes academic citation tools like publish or perish software , Chatbot technology software or artificial intelligence tools like Program-O, Integrated library management software; Koha, E-Granthalaya, E Publishing software like Open Journal System. Harvesting software like Open Harvesting System.(Public Knowledge Project Softwares) E-Book management software; Calibre. Web 2.0 tools application in libraries. Latest version of Ubuntu operating system. E- Resource management software; Coral. Google analytics, Cloud computing systems. Intellectual property rights and components like Creative Commons. E-Learning Management Software like Moodle. More and more organizations in India are embarking on new concepts in handling information. With the changing times, information formats also have changed rapidly from print on paper to digital. There is a need for qualified and trained Library and Information Science professionals to take the lead and guide developments in helping the end users in the changing environment. This program opens up opportunities with world class technology enabled libraries and information centres, think tanks, corporate libraries, archives and research institutes. Please visit the following link to know more about this programme and to apply. https://admissions.tiss.edu/view/10/admissions/stp-admissions/pg-diploma-in… Last date of submission of application form 30 June, 2022 We will be happy to respond, if you have any further queries.

Copyright law reform
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 May '22

17 May '22

Friends, In an interview given to *SciDevNet* in 2009, Prof. Balaram said, "I argue that we should be permitted to put in the repository the full text article as it appears in a journal. For this, countries such as India should have a law specifying that the copyright for articles published with publicly-funded research always vests with the authors and their institutions. [See https://www.scidev.net/global/features/q-a-open-archives-the-alternative-to… ]. Recently, Prof. Peter Suber of Harvard University has argued that journals DO NOT NEED exclusive rights to publish papers. Please see https://journals.publishing.umich.edu/jep/article/id/1869/?s=03. Here is Suber's Abstract: "Journal publishers don’t need exclusive rights. Or, they don’t need them for publishing. They don’t need them to make a work public or to add value in the form of peer review, copy editing, metadata, formatting, discoverability, or preservation. Nor do they need them to make enough money to pay their bills and grow. Publishers only need exclusive rights for monopoly control over the published work and any revenue it might yield. Publishers who say they need exclusive rights are saying they need this monopoly control. The best evidence that journal publishers don’t need exclusive rights is that so many peer-reviewed journals do without them, for example, open access journals using CC-BY." Nine years have passed since Prof. Balaram wrote it. The copyright law has not been amended to accommodate Prof. Balaram's suggestion. Will the LIS community, in some sense custodians of knowledge in our academic and other research performing institutions, take it up with the concerned Ministry and different funding agencies in India?
