An OA consultant in each university!
by Subbiah Arunachalam 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Friends: Here is an interesting development at MIT, Cambridge. Arun ---------------- MIT's new Scholarly Publishing Consultant MIT has hired a Scholarly Publishing Consultant to advise faculty about their OA options. (Thanks to ResourceShelf.) From the announcement on the MIT Libraries News blog: The MIT Libraries now have a half-time position supporting MIT faculty and researchers who have questions about their options and rights in the world of scholarly publishing, which has evolved dramatically with the advent of the digital age. This position has been made possible with support from the Provosts office. In what ways would a faculty member make use of this new position? For example: * To ask about what rights you have over your own work, and how you can ensure that you have the rights in the future to do what you want with your work; * To ask questions about standard publisher copyright transfer agreements, including the use of MITs amendment to such agreements; * To gain feedback about options and rights related to archiving your work on the web, whether via a faculty home page, Dspace, or a discipline-based archive, or another means; * To discuss the options for publishing an article so that it will be openly available, without permission or subscription barriers, whether in a new open access journal or a long-standing journal; or * To ask about open access publication options, and funder or government policies in relation to those options. If you would like to discuss any of these issues, please contact Ellen Finnie Duranceau, who moved into the new position in mid September.... Peter Suber: Another great idea from MIT. Until OA is as familiar as email, every university should have something like this. ___________________________________________________________ All new Yahoo!

New Group - Open Access and Digital Libraries
by Sukhdev Singh 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Friends, I am back from an International Conference on Digital Libraries, 5-8 Dec. 2006 organised by TERI at New Delhi (ICDL 2006). In one of the session there was comment that nothing is being done for "Open Access" movement in India. I feel this is incorrect. Lot of things are being done but by very few people. Yes, now we need to involve more and more people in this movement - both LIS professional as well educators, researchers and policy makers. The first step I can think of is forming a discussion group. I know there are other groups as well - but these are mostly oriented towards LIS professionals. We never know what our target users feel about issues that may dear to us. So a Group called "Open Access and Digital Libraries" is been created with the following URL. If you are interested in Open Access, you are welcome to join it. I would suggest to join it through its Web Interface: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/oadl If for some reason you prefer to join it by sending email, send a blank email to the following: oadl-subscribe(a)yahoogroups.com Thanks, Sukhdev Singh. NIC.

Researcher's 3-D Digital Storage System Could Hold A Library On One Disc
by sandeep bhavsar 12 Dec '06

12 Dec '06

Researcher's 3-D Digital Storage System Could Hold A Library On One Disc Imagine taking the entire collection of historical documents at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and storing it on a single DVD. The technology developed by chemistry professor Kevin Belfield and his research team could eventually be used to store historical documents or create complicated databases that could give decision-makers quick access to critical information. (Photo: Jerry Klein) University of Central Florida Chemistry Professor Kevin D. Belfield and his team have cracked a puzzle that stumped scientists for more than a dozen years. They have developed a new technology that will allow users to record and store massive amounts of data -- the museum's entire collection or as many as 500 movies, for example -- onto a single disc or, perhaps, a small cube. Belfield's Two-Photon 3-D Optical Data Storage system makes this possible. "For a while, the community has been able to record data in photochromic materials in several layers," Belfield said. "The problem was that no one could figure out how to read out the data without destroying it. But we cracked it." Think of it this way. Television viewers can tape a show on a VHS tape. They can use the tape several times. But each time the same segment of the tape is used, the quality diminishes as the tape wears out. Eventually, the data is lost. The same is true of recordable DVDs. Belfield's team figured out a way to use lasers to compact large amounts of information onto a DVD while maintaining excellent quality. The information is stored permanently without the possibility of damage. The process involves shooting two different wavelengths of light onto the recording surface. The use of two lasers creates a very specific image that is sharper than what current techniques can render. Depending on the color (wavelength) of the light, information is written onto a disk. The information is highly compacted, so the disk isn't much thicker. It's like a typical DVD. The challenge scientists faced for years was that light is also used to read the information. The light couldn't distinguish between reading and writing, so it would destroy the recorded information. Belfield's team developed a way to use light tuned to specific colors or wavelengths to allow information that a user wants to keep to stay intact. The UCF team's work was published in Advanced Materials (2006, vol. 18, pp. 2910-2914) and recently highlighted in Nature Photonics. A patent is pending. Once the technology is fine-tuned, it could be used to store historical documents or create complicated databases that could give decision-makers quick access to critical information, Belfield said. Blu-Ray Disc Association and industrial leaders in computer and other media recently commercially introduced Blu-Ray Disc technology that allows for storage of 25 gigabytes (GB) on a single layer of a disc and 50 GB on two layers. It has been referred to as the next generation of optical disc format, and it offers high-definition quality. Belfield's technique allows for storing on multiple layers with the capacity of at least 1,000 GB and high-definition quality. The UCF team has received a $270,000, three-year grant from the National Science Foundation to continue its work. The team will focus on making the technique even more efficient, partly by reducing the required laser power. The team's work with lasers and lights has other practical applications. Belfield and his colleagues in the Department of Chemistry are exploring the use of light to detect and treat certain types of cancer. Belfield's research team is creating chemical agents that, after being injected into patients, will travel within the bloodstream to find and bind with cancer cells. Using light, doctors would then be able to see if and where a patient has cancer cells. Another agent could be injected that would then destroy the cancer cells when activated by light, without damaging other healthy cells.

Microsoft's Office Open XML format becomes a standard
by Farooque Shaheen 08 Dec '06

08 Dec '06

At the general assembly of Ecma International in Zurich, Switzerland, Microsoft's Office Open XML--a set of specifications detailing the document formats in Microsoft's office--was certified as a standard. In addition, the membership-based standards organization voted to propose Office Open XML to the larger International Organization for Standardization (known as ISO) for standards approval through its fast-track process. These document formats are the default for Office 2007, an upgrade to Microsoft's productivity suite that was released to businesses late last month and expected to be available to consumers next January. http://news.com.com/Microsoft+sails+through+document+standard+vote/2100-101… Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Caritor India Pvt Ltd.

Journals, copyright and open access archiving
by Mailing List Manager 08 Dec '06

08 Dec '06

Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 18:15:11 +0530 From: Subbiah Arunachalam <arun(a)mssrf.res.in> Friends: Here is a message I received from another list. It tells you about the diff= iculties faced by developing country librarians who want to bring the compl= ete works of great scientists into public domain through open access reposi= tories. Surprisingly, some publishers - in this case Taylor & Francis - are= unwilling to grant permission to place papers published in their journals = several decades ago in an institutional open access archive. While one may = find a way out and get these papers accessible to anyone who wants to read = them, the true face of such publishers are exposed by such incidents. Dear all, We are very keen to make open access not only the papers of C.V. Raman but also any other articles/talks by him or on him. We have already made = available on our digital repository the newspaper clippings on him. All the 6 volumes of his collected papers have been scanned and we have the pdf files ready. Now only the publishers permission is needed to make them open access. We have written to all of them but getting all their permission is not assured. Already Taylor & Francis have declined to give permission to make their articles open access. Publisher's copyright policies may in fact be the biggest barrier to making this entire collection open access. However, the Indian Academy of Sciences and the American Physical Society have given us permission to = begin with. Our plan in these circumstances is to make articles open access wherever permission is clearly given and to make the rest restricted access. At least the metadata will then be freely available for all. Anyone interested can email us for a copy. I am sure that those who have established repositories are facing similar problems. But we are doing our best. With best wishes, Girija Srinivasan Raman Research Institute Library, Tel:+91 80 2361 0122 / Extn 250---------= For those of you who may not know Sir C V Raman, he was a leading physicist= of his generation and the only Indian to have won a science Nobel Prize. [= Prof. Amartya Sen won in Economics, and Mother Teresa for Peace. Prof. Subr= ahmanyan Chandrasekhar and Prof. Har Gobind Khorana were US citizens when t= hey won the Nobel Prize.] Prof. Raman was Director of the Indian Institute = of Science, Founder-Director of the Raman Research Institute and the Founde= r-President of the Indian Academy of Sciences. He passed away in November 1= 970 at the age of 82. Scientists should refrain from signing publishers' agreements without readi= ng them carefully. They should never surrender copyright to their creative = works - resaerch papers. Many journals agree to make changes in the standar= d copyright transfer form they use. Over 90% of about 9,000 journals survey= ed allow archiving of papers published in them. The rest of the journals sh= ould be persuaded to fall in line, and if they refuse scientists around the= world should boycott them - they shoud refrain from publishing in them, sh= ould not act as referees for those journals and should not be members of th= eir editorial boards. As most research is performed with public support - research grants from go= vernments and other donors - it is not proper on the part of researchers to= sign away copyright to journal publishers. One can only give first (or eve= n exclusive) right to publish the papers. Authors and their institutions sh= ould retain all rights to use the material subsequently in whatever way the= y want to. If journals can claim copyright to articles simply because they publish, sh= ould not the funding agencies claim copyright to work produced with their m= oney and should not the authors retain the copyright simply because the pap= er is their creative work?
