Message from DG of UNESCO on the occasion of World Book and Copyright Day
by Mailing List Admin 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 10:30:54 +0100 (BST) From: Puna Das <puna_05(a)yahoo.co.in> Message from Mr Ko�chiro Matsuura, Director-General of UNESCO, on the occasion of World Book and Copyright Day 23 April 2008 Since 23 April 1996, World Book and Copyright Day has brought together millions of people in more than 100 countries in both the South and North in the solemn celebration of the many functions of the book in the life of human society. It has also invited them to reflect on the place of copyright in connection with books. In 2008, this event offers a new opportunity for political decision-makers, economic agents and those active in civil society to give pride of place, each in their own field, to this unique instrument of culture, education, participation, communication and entertainment � the book. Books contribute to shaping and maintaining the educational, cultural and economic fabric of our societies, and play multiple and fundamental roles in it. These works of the mind protected by copyright, which enrich the intangible heritage of humanity, are also merchandise, a duality that has been highlighted and analysed on many occasions. Books are thus the pivot in a vast chain of incomegenerating activities and professions, and an important component of economic development. The proclamation by the United Nations General Assembly of 2008 as International Year of Languages invites us moreover to reconsider another dimension of books which complements those mentioned above: the linguistic dimension of publishing. Books are in fact a means of expression which live through language and in language. Every book is written, produced, exchanged, used and appreciated in a specific linguistic framework. When selecting their language, authors are also selecting their readers, who should be able to understand what they write. Translation helps to build linguistic bridges leading to new books and new readers. When a language has no access to the world of publishing, it is excluded � together with those who speak it � from a significant part of the intellectual life and economic activity of society. Hence the importance of developing multilingualism through translation. At a time when the proclamation of International Year of Languages has brought the matter of languages and multilingualism to the top of the international agenda, it is more essential than ever to reflect on the future of books as vehicles for expression and linguistic recognition. In this context, it is then a matter of urgency to give languages broader access to publishing, so as to promote the exchange of books and editorial content, and thus �the free flow of ideas by word and image� enshrined in the Constitution of UNESCO. On this thirteenth World Book and Copyright Day, I solemnly call upon all the Member States, partners and friends of UNESCO to join us in reflection and action to ensure that the place of books and reading receives full recognition for the benefit of a world that can claim to be genuinely multilingual, even in practice.

Public funding and open access
by Saiful Amin 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Sorry for cross posting. Thought of sharing this editorial from The Hindu: http://www.hindu.com/2008/04/22/stories/2008042255590800.htm * Public funding and open access * Of what use is research, particularly when it is funded by the government, if the results published in peer-reviewed journals are not freely accessible to the scientific community? Since many journals allow access to published papers only on subscription, researchers, especially those in developing countries, find themselves at a disadvantage. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), the United States' federal agency for conducting and supporting research, has now corrected the anomaly. The Consolidated Appropriations Act passed recently makes it mandatory for researchers funded by the NIH after April 7, 2008, to submit their final peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication to the agency's PubMed Central online repository for free access not later than one year after the official date of publication. The scientific community is bound to greatly benefit as nearly 80,000 publications arise from NIH-funded projects every year. Yet, allowing for an embargo of up to a year is not healthy, particularly in the field of medicine. By making it mandatory to submit the manuscript even before its publication, the new policy has ensured that free access will be possible immediately after the expiry of the embargo date. Its initial move in 2005 to make free access possible failed as investigators were under no compulsion to comply. Though several open access peer-reviewed journals have come into being, they are not the first choice for paper submission since they do not enjoy the same standing as the established journals. Though subscription is a source of revenue for journals, the apprehension that free online access would hurt their bottomline is misplaced; the Act is applicable only to papers arising from NIH-funding. In fact, a number of publishers have already agreed to make published articles available to PubMed Central directly. It is commendable that the NIH did not allow commercial interests of publishers to override the merits of free dissemination of information as an essential requirement for scientific advance. The NIH has resolved the contentious issue of copyrights that was dogging free access. By making the authors responsible for working out a copyrights transfer agreement with the publishers that allows them to comply with the policy, it has ensured greater compliance. And by spelling out clearly that compliance with the policy is a "statutory requirement" and that non-compliance will delay or prevent future grants, the policy has ensured that open access becomes a reality at last. -- Saiful Amin +91 9343826438 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Using Google Docs for Conducting Research and Surveys Online - Easy and Simple
by Sukhdev Singh 20 Apr '08

20 Apr '08

Dear friends, If you are doing some research or survey, you know how difficult and time consuming it is to prepare questionnaire, mail it and tabulate the responses. However, today a number of online survey tools and services are available, like the SurveyMonkey. Unfortunately, there are restrictions for free versions of such online survey tools. If you don't like restrictions, move on to Google Docs. It is an Online Office suite from Google - http://docs.google.com - still, it can prove to be a handy tool for conducting research or survey online. Thanks to some new features added to it. These features enable Questionnaire / Survey Forms creation and emailing them directly. The beauty of Google Docs is that there is always a background spreadsheet linked for each such form. The responses to the questions are automatically added to spreadsheet in Google Docs. With Google Docs, you can create your Online Survey / Research Forms. Send these through Email or simply send the unique URL of the online survey form. Survey participants do not require any Sign-in for filling online survey forms. Their responses can be filled out directly from email client. As already told, responses are automatically added to a Linked Spreadsheet. This spreadsheet can be used to further analyse the responses. It is easy, simple and fun with Google Docs. For creating a Survey Form, visit Google Docs. Use your Gmail User ID and Password to login. If you do not have an Account with Google, better create it now. Once logged in, select a new spreadsheet. Make it sharable by clicking on "Share" tab. It will prompt to enter the title for the spreadsheet and save it. After that, from available options, select "to fill out a form". Next step is to create a Survey Form. It is very simple and intuitive. Once the form is complete, you can preview it and send it by emailing it to large number of participants. The Google Docs responds back with a confirmatory email. As the participants start filling up the form, data is captured in a linked spreadsheet at back. I have created a small presentation for explaining it. The same is available at http://www.slideshare.net/sukhi along with other presentations. You can also follow the following direct link - http://snipr.com/252r6 - to view this presentation.

Need Information
by JK 20 Apr '08

20 Apr '08

Dear All, We have developed a global search software of e-resources/e- contents. We have observed many problems on the user's side such as when the URL of a particular e-resource gets changed (usually from the publishers side) then users are not able to access and view the e-resources. To prevent this problem, somebody has advised us to create our own link server. Therefore, could anybody help me as to how we can create our own Open URL.. Your earliest reply will be appreciated. *Regards* *Jaya Kalra* *Senior Consultant - LIS Group* *Total IT Solutions Pvt.

NewGenLib demo now on a public IP
by L J Haravu 19 Apr '08

19 Apr '08

Dear Forum professionals I am happy to let you know that it is now possible for anyone to use open source NewGenLib via the server-side installation on one of our public IP machines. Please follow the steps given below. With this, you can use all the functionality as though the software is installed for you. However, the data added will be stored only temporarily and may be deleted. Please note that although this is a full fledged application, it is only to demonstrate to professionals and to help then get a first hand feel of the software. 1. Install J2RE1.4.2 on one or more client machines from the Sun Microsystems web site. This is the run time version of Java and needs to be installed on all clients that plan to access NewGenLib functionality. 2. Once you have successfully installed J2RE1.4.2 on your client machine, open your Internet browser and enter the URL, http://121.246.154.208:8080/newgenlibctxt/LaunchApplication 3. You will soon see a JAVA Starting window and the very first time that you launch the NewGenLib client, it will download the application from our server to your machine. This may take time and depends on the bandwidth you have. From the second and subsequent times, the applet is loaded from your client unless there has been an update of the server side software. 4. You will soon see a dialog where you need to enter the IP address of the server. This is 121.246.154.208. The port by default shown is 8080. You need not change this. Click OK in this dialog. 5. Next you will see the Login screen of NewGenLib. Enter xyz as the User_id and abc as the password. This user does not have all the System Administrator permissions. 6. Soon you will see the main menu of the NewGenLib applet with the functional modules on top. Click any of the main menu options to see the different functions possible within the module 7. To see the OPAC of the installation, open your Internet browser and enter 8. http://121.246.154.208:8080/newgenlibctxt and you will soon see the opening page of the OPAC with search and other options I would be happy to answer any questions but better still would be for professionals to go the discussion forum on Sourceforge.net, http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=210780 and create an account and post your problems, suggestions. Best regards. Haravu -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
