Invitation for an inaugural function at NCRA, Pune on 24th July 2006, 9.30 am
by Sunita Barve 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Dear All, National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA), is a division of India's premier research Centre, the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). NCRA has setup world's largest radio telescope Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) at metre wavelengths at Khodad, Narayangaon. NCRA is organising a 3-day workshop titled "Creating Digital Libraries using DSpace Open Source Software" during 24-26 July 2006 at its premises in the Pune University Campus. Noted speakers, such as ARD Prasad of DRTC, Bangalore, Devika Madalli of DRTC, Bangalore and Aditya Tripathi of Banaras Hindu University, will be conducting the workshop sessions. NCRA has set up an excellent computer laboratory for this purpose. We take this opportunity to invite you to attend the workshop inaugural ceremony followed by a talk Topic : Open Acess to Information Speaker : Dr. ARD Prasad, DRTC, Bangalore Date, Time and Venue : 24 July 2006, 9.30 am, NCRA Auditorium, Pune Abstract of the talk : The escalating cost of scientific journals rendered many institutional libraries to cut down the number of journals being subscribed. This is more apparent in the case of developing countries. The Consortia approach to journal subscription is a deceptive device introduced by journal publishing industry on their own terms. The journal publishing industry is heavily protected by copyright laws and they own the copyright of the articles published. The basic questions are: 1)Does the journal publishing industry sponsor scientific research? 2)Can you think of product in the market where the producer does not get a penny? 3)When much of the research is funded by public (government) funds, how come neither the funding agency nor the individual scientist own the copyright? 4)When journals are heavily priced, can they have wider audience and consequently cited by other research colleagues? Similar questions resulted in many scientific and research communities to championize "Open Access to Information Movement". The objective of the movement is to allow universal / free access to scientific / research publications. Presently, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) lists more than 2300 journals in various disciplines. Just as universal education is aimed at overall development of the society, universal access to information would result faster scientific development. All are cordially invited to attend this inaugural ceremony. Please confirm your participation by email/phone at the earliest to make necessary arrangements. library(a)ncra.tifr.res.in, sunitab(a)ncra.tifr.res.in or telephone (25697107, 25691384/85 Xtn:211).

Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 09:18:46 +0530 From: "Nellameghan, A" <anm2002(a)vsnl.net> Dear Dr. Sukhdev Singh: We are glad that you appreciate the effort taken on open access to Dr.SRR's works and other information sources related to him. The Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS) has given permission to dLIST to digitize Dr.SRR's books and make them accessible to users. The first book taken up is the Five Laws of Library Science. After preliminary tests, other books will be taken up. Kindly note that the contacts with and permission given to dLIST (Prof. Anita Coleman) precedes the meeting of Dr.Raghavan, Dr. Prasad, Prof Arunachalam at Mr. Satyanarayana's daughters wedding date. Perhaps you are aware that Anita Coleman of the Univ. of Arizona, who initiated the Dr SRR project was a student of Dr. Raghavan and that was connection as to how it all started. The other project is a joint effort of SRELS and the ISI Library, Bangalore. (Dr. Krishnamurthy). Best regards Sincerely A. Neelameghan -----------Original message follows-------------------- Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 11:51:37 +0530 From: Sukhdev Singh <esukhdev(a)gmail.com> I can predict that people would be citing Dr. Ranganathan's Online works more often now. People working in non-LIS areas will also discover by "googling" that ideas on which they are working now were already in the minds of Dr. Ranganathan. {truncated]

Agricultural Statistics
by Tanika Chakraborty 11 Jul '06

11 Jul '06

Dear Friends, I am a doctoral researcher at Washington University, St Louis. My area of interest is development economics with emphasis on technoIogy for agriculture. For the purpose of my research, I am looking for district wise agricultural statistics of India 1998 onwards to the latest year available. I checked the Databook on Agricultural Resources at IASRI website which lists data on yields, production and several other information on different variables. The data are mainly time series and in some cases state wise data are also available. I also checked The Statistical Abstracts that are available online at http://mospi.nic.in/cso_rept_pubn.htm are given 2002 onwards and state wise. I am looking for the same data at the district level which I think are published in the annual Statistical Abstracts. Online, I could only find the Season and Crop report for the districts of Tamil Nadu that are listed at http://www.tn.gov.in/crop/ and I need the same data for the all other states from 1998 onwards. Can anyone tell me from where and how to get those statistics? Thanks in advance, Tanika. Dear Friends, I am a doctoral researcher at Washington University, St Louis.
