by Arunachalam Hariharan 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

Dear Professional colleagues and friends, During the SALIS 2006 National Conference on Initiatives in Library and Information Centres in the Digital Eraâ held between 8th-9th June 2006 at Karuna Deemed University, Coimbatore, the following recommendations were made by the experts and delegates. These recommendations were sent to the appropriate authority for their consideration and implementation. I. To the Director, NAAC A group of senior members from SALIS met the Director, NAAC and personally handed over the following requests to the Director, NAAC for his favourable consideration. The following points are brought to your kind attention for favourable consideration: 1. As the nodal agency at national level. NAAC plays a vital role in ensuring quality in higher education. This mission is highly visible at national level. To be precise, it is commendable. In this regard, SALIS would like to bring to your kind notice that it is imperative to associate practicing Librarians from institutions of repute like IITs. NITs, IIMs, Universities and other R&D institutions like DAE. CSIR. DRDO and ISRO as part of the NAAC Peer Committee for accreditation. This process would result in to evaluate availability of real quality in that library with respect to facilities and services. 2. To ensure effective and efficient library service to the user community, it is highly desirable and essential to appoint qualified professionals as Library Assistants in academic institutions. The recruitment of Library Professionals should be commensurate as well as directly proportional to the collection strength and user population. 3. Any quality initiative is a continuum. In consonance with this endeavour, it is utmost essential to have a Continuous Professional Development (CDP) programme for the library professionals as in vogue in R&D institutions such as CSIR. DRDO. ISRO etc., It is requested that NAAC should insist CDP for Library Professionals. II. To the Chairman, UGC 1. It appeals to UGC to allocate exclusive budget head for ICT infrastructure to Library and Information Centres. 2. It appeals to UGC to introduce a paper on âLibrary Science Educationâ in the curriculum of UG courses. This move will convert the teacher-centred learning into student-centered learning. 3. The nomenclature of Library should be changed in to âDepartment of Library and Information Servicesâ 4. It also states that in order to impart quality education in LIS curriculum, courses such as B.L.I.Sc and M.L.I.Sc shall be accredited either by AICTE or National Council for Teacher Education. ------- --------------- III . To the Chairman, AICTE, New Delhi 1. It appeals AICTE to promote research in the area of Library and Information Science by allocating funds to projects submitted by University/College Libraries and Information Centres. 2. It appeals to AICET to introduce a paper on Library Science Education in the curriculum of UG courses. This move will convert the teacher-centred learning into student-centered learning. 3. The nomenclature of Library should be changed in to âDepartment of Library and Information Servicesâ. 4. It also states that in order to impart quality education in LIS curriculum, courses such as B.L.I.Sc and M.L.I.Sc shall be accredited either by AICTE or National Council for Teacher Education. 5. It is requested that AICTE should insist on: (a) strength of the qualified Library professionals in Libraries of Engineering Institutions should be directly proportional to the collection and user population and; (b) Training for continuous Professional Development for Library professionals. ------------ IV. To the Govt of Tamilnadu 1. It appeals to the Govt. of Tamilnadu to fill-up the vacant posts of Librarians in the Universities, Govt. Colleges, Polytechnics and Public Libraries immediately. 2. It also appeals to the Govt. of Tamilnadu to appoint Professionally Qualified Librarians in all the Higher Secondary Schools in Tamil Nadu on par with Central Schools(Kendriya Vidyalaya). 3.

Parallel between OA and education for all
by Mailing List Manager 05 Jul '06

05 Jul '06

Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2006 12:30:04 +0530 From: Subbiah Arunachalam <arun(a)mssrf.res.in> Friends Here is an item from Peter Suber's blog. The author of this paper says "Si= nce there is no way of knowing in advance where new insights may lie, it's = in the interest of humanity to ensure the widest possible access to the bod= y of scientific knowledge." That is why I and many others (including Peter = Suber, Stevan Harnad, Leslie Chan, Barbara Kirsop, Alma Swan, D K Sahu and = others) are advocating open access to all research papers (full text and me= tadata) through interoperable institutional open access archives. That is w= hy MIT and several other universities around the world are makingtheir cour= se content freely available on the Internet through their "Open Course ware= " programmes. In a recent article in OUTLOOK, Dr Pushpa Bhargava, vice chairman of India'= s National Knowledge Commission, has argued that "it is surely important t= o recognise the deprivation and lack of opportunities which the SC/STs and = OBCs-the small creamy layer apart-have experienced; they are the ones who w= ill in all likelihood bring India its future Nobel Prizes." Dr Bhargava arg= ues in favour of extending opportunities for education to all. There is a parallel between Dr Bhargava's plea for extending opportunities = for education to all and the Open Access advocates' plea for making researc= h results (in the form of published papers) available to all scientists aro= und the world without barriers. Many bright scientists in developing countr= ies and in resource-poor institutions in the advanced countries may have th= e potential to advance knowledge (and even to win Nobel Prizes) but how can= they do it if they cannot have access to literature relevant to their rese= arch? And the one sure way to make the research literature available to eve= ry scientist is through interoperable institutional open access archives (o= r repositories). That is why OA advocates are pleading for governments and donor agencies su= pporting scientific research to mandate OA for all publicly-funded research= . =0D Institutions such as the Open Society Institute, NIH, CERN, Wellcome Trust = and JISC are leading the way. It is for others, especially those in the dev= eloping countries, to follow. I believe that India, if China, Brazil and Soth Africa can adopt OA in a bi= g way. That would pave the way for other developing countries. Subbiah Arunachalam ---------- Paula Le Dieu on OA and Science Commons Paula Le Dieu, Science Commons, a podcast lecture delivered at the O'Reilly= European Open Source Convention (Amsterdam, October 17-20, 2005). Paula Le= Dieu is the Director of Creative Commons International. (Thanks to Windley= .) From the description: The scientific traditions of collaboration, transparency and sharing can = be at odds with the constraints of publishers, patents and copy protection.= Science Commons is a new project of the Creative Commons with a mission to= facilitate the growth of an openly accessible commons for scientific knowl= edge. In this talk, Paula Le Dieu maps out some of the alternative models f= or journal publishing, licensing and data sharing which can help promote th= e flow of scientific results and innovation. Le Dieu highlights research on the well known p53 tumor suppressor gene t= o illustrate how scientific progress can be encumbered by limited access to= published results. Meta analysis of the tens of thousands of articles writ= ten on p53 reveals an intriguing web of connections between different pathw= ays and diseases, but this approach is hindered by the fact that only a qua= rter of published research papers are freely accessible in full text on lin= e. =0D Limits stem partly from a conflict between the scientists' interest in sh= aring knowledge and publishers' interest in protecting copyright. The shift= toward electronic publishing also means more libraries acquire journals on= a rental basis rather than outright purchase so that all access is lost if= the subscription ends. Since there is no way of knowing in advance where new insights may lie, i= t's in the interest of humanity to ensure the widest possible access to the= body of scientific knowledge. To that end, Science Commons is promoting ne= w publishing models. They are also trying to rationalize the language of te= chnology transfer agreements to help scientists avoid inadvertently signing= away rights. Finally, the group is investigating alternatives to the 'publ= ish or perish' mode of building scientific reputation. Open access publicat= ion and diverse impact measurements can help reduce the inequities of citat= ion ranking.
