6th Colloquium (DRTC) on Open Access Movement
by Sanjeev Kumar Sunny 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE DOCUMENTATION RESEARCH AND TRAINING CENTRE 8th Mile Mysore Road, Bangalore-560059 6th Colloquium (2006-08) On Open Access Movement ABSTRACT Journal prices were affordable till 1970s, when they began to rise faster than inflation. Prices have risen four times faster than inflation since 1986. Fortunately, just as journal prices were becoming unaffordable, the Internet emerged to offer an alternative - in the form of Open Access Movement. "Open Access" defines a movement that promotes free, unrestricted Internet access to the primary research literature as a public good. What make it possible are the Internet and the consent of the author or copyright-holder. OA is entirely compatible with peer review, and all the major OA initiatives for scientific and scholarly literature insist on its importance. There are two primary vehicles for delivering OA to research articles: OA archives or repositories and OA journals. There are open-source software for building and maintaining OAI-compliant archives. The development and usage of these archives are gaining worldwide momentum. Topics Speakers 1. Overview Sanjeev K Sunny 2. What's happening worldwide? Mithun Raj M. 3. Open Access Journals Ayesha Khatoon 4. Disciplinary Archives Syed Raiyan Ghani 5. Institutional Archives and Repositories Anila S. 6. OAI Tools: Software Mita Sarkar 7. Conclusion Radha Rani Rit Venue: DRTC Classroom Date: 18th of April 2007 Time: 2:00 pm All are cordially invited. Prof. K.S.

It was developed to provide a free, comprehensive, and social online learning opportunity for librarians who do not otherwise have access to conferences or continuing education and who would benefit greatly from learning about social software. The course will be taught using a variety of social software tools so that the participants acquire experience using the tools while they are taking part in the class. It will make use of synchronous online communication, with one or two weekly Webcasts and many small group IM chat sessions made available to participants each week. By the end of the course, each student will develop a proposal for implementing a specific social software tool in their library. The course content will be freely viewable by interested parties and all live Webcasts will be archived for later viewing. The course will cover the following topics: Blogs RSS Wikis Social Networking Software and SecondLife Flickr Social Bookmarking Software Selling Social Software @ Your Library Best Regards Sandeep Bhavsar Librarian Dr.V.N.Bedekar Institute of Management Studies Thane(W). 400601 MUMBAI @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ email : sandeep.bhavsar(a)gmail.com Mob : 09870484626 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ --------------------------------- New Yahoo!

UGC okays uniform academic calendar
by A. B. NAIKAL 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

UGC okays uniform academic calendar LIFE will soon become easier for students migrating from one college to another or from another university. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has approved a uniform academic calendar for all universities across the country. This would mean that results of all courses will be declared before June and classes for first year students shall commence by the first week of August. The uniform calendar requires every university to ensure that the first year classes for courses begin no later than the first week of August and for students of second year onwards, by no later than the third week of July. This academic calendar will not be applicable for professional courses. The calendar, based on the report of an expert committee comprising M Anandakrishnan, former vice chancellor, Anna University, Chennai; SN Hegde, former vice chancellor, Mysore University and Dayanand Dongaonkar, secretary general, Association of Indian Universities. A flexibility of two weeks may be followed for professional courses in commencement of classes for students of second year and later keeping in view the requirement of project work, summer schools and internships in these programmes. UGC approved the calendar on February 26 and the new regulations have been sent for publication in the Gazette of India to come into force from their date of publication in the official gazette.

Seeking suggestions to Classification Problems
by Shikha Bhowmik 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Dear LIS Professionals, Can you please give any suggestion regarding my problems of classification? I am now following 20th ED. of DDC, but I like to shift to the 22nd ED. The major areas in which I am facing problems are 570-590. In these areas, the class numbers existing in the 20th ED. are scattered and intermingled in the 21st and 22nd ED.in such a way that if I shift to the new numbers, the other areas are being largely affected, and hence, any 'see also' reference is likely to be impossible to be rendered in the catalogue. But if the newly emerging subject areas are to be taken into account, I must shift to the latest edition. Reclassification may only be the solution, but it is not feasible everytime there is a major change, and as there is a large no. of collections. I am seeking your views and help.
