I had reached out to you in the past in order to receive responses to a survey for my ACRL-funded project. I received many responses and I am grateful for your participation. This time I reach out to you with another request for completing a survey. I am co-developing a phenomenological study of academic librarianship in India. Travel to and from India is not possible at this point for me owing to my university commitments. So, I and my collaborator in Kolkata have developed an online survey. Will you please fill out the survey and also share it among your librarian colleagues?

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.

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?
