---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [BOAI] colLib - organizing Open Access documents in LIS From: "Magnus Enger" <Magnus.Enger(a)hibo.no> Date: Fri, September 9, 2005 3:40 pm To: SCHOLCOMM(a)ala.org boai-forum(a)ecs.soton.ac.uk web4lib(a)webjunction.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** Apologies for cross-posting! *** Hi! Wouldn't it be nice to have a subject-gateway to all the LIS-related documents that can be found in Open Access repositories? Would you like to collaborate on organizing them? As part of my ongoing masters-degree in "Science of documentation" at the University of Tromsø, Norway, I have created colLib - a prototype of a system for organizing and finding documents that are available in Open Access repositories: http://collib.info/ New metadata are "harvested" daily from open repositories - the newest "records" are available here: http://collib.info/index.php/Special:OaiRecent All the repositories that are harvested are related to "Library and Information Science" - a list of them is available here: http://collib.info/index.php/Special:OaiRepos Metadata are organized through "tags". A tag can for example represent a subject - here is an overview of the subjects that are represented as of today: http://collib.info/index.php/Category:Subjects Tags can also represent other organizing categories, like geography and names of projects and services - here is an overview of the categories so far: http://collib.info/index.php/Category:Top * My colLib If you register as a user of colLib, you can click "watch" at the top of most pages in colLib and have them added to "My colLib", which is your personal "bookshelf" in colLib. This page will give you a list of categories, subjects and posts that you would like to keep an eye on, remember or have easy access to. To register: http://collib.info/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&returnto=Main_Page My colLib: http://collib.info/index.php/Special:MyCollib * RSS A RSS 0.91-feed for the newest records is available here: http://collib.info/xml.php You will also find a link to RSS-feeds for the records that are connected with each tag on the page for that tag. See the article "RSS For Non-Techie Librarians" by Steven M. Cohen for more on RSS: http://www.llrx.com/features/rssforlibrarians.htm * You can contribute! colLib is based on the fact that anyone can contribute to organizing the records. When you look at a post you will allways find a link marked "Click here to add/edit tags". Clicking here will give you the opportunity to change the old tags and/or add new ones. You will find some more information on how to do this here: http://collib.info/index.php/Help:Editing Another way to contribute is to upload documents you have created to one of the repositories that are harvested by colLib. * Feedback is very welcome.

Call for free access to research
by Subbiah Gunasekaran 09 Sep '05

09 Sep '05

Call for free access to research UK universities have joined calls for publicly-funded research to be freely available on the internet. In a position statement, Universities UK supports moves to broaden access away from subscription-based journals and - more recently - websites. The organisation argues that such academic material is vital to national productivity and well-being. Its intervention is the latest in a long-running debate about the public accessiblity of research findings. Universities UK says freeing up research would also increase the number of times it is cited by other academics - which in turn boosts researchers' claims to funding. Cultural health The eight UK research councils, which control most of the public funding, have proposed making free access a condition of getting grants. The president of Universities UK, Professor Drummond Bone, said: "Publicly funded research undertaken in UK universities lies at the heart of a productive economy, as well as supporting the physical, social and cultural health of the nation. "Ensuring that the main outputs of research - ideas and knowledge - are disseminated widely is vitally important. "Universities UK supports moves by the research community and publishers to develop new publishing models that are based on the principle that research outcomes should be disseminated and freely accessed as widely as possible." Rising prices The universities say the subscription-based system of scholarly communication has served the research community well in the past but "now operates at a sub-optimal level". A key problem has been rapidly increasing journal prices - up 58% between 1998 and 2003, compared with a general inflation rate of 11%. Developments in electronic publishing have made possible a fundamental change, they argue. In a report last year, the House of Commons science and technology committee also called for publicly-funded research to be made freely available online in archived digital information banks. Publishers have argued that the cost per page has not increased - they are just being offered increasing amounts of research material. And they say they bear the costs of having research "peer reviewed" - checked by others - and that if this were to end the integrity of research could be compromised. They include not only commercial publishers but not-for-profit learned societies. Universities UK says they play a crucial role and the effect of any change on them should be monitored closely. But it says there are sustainable ways forward, probably involving a mixture of the current system and new ways of doing things, such as having those who fund the research meet the publication costs. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/4224072.stm --------- Call for free access to research UK universities have joined calls for publicly-funded research to be freely available on the internet.

Dear All, Thanks for all the help extended by you. I did check Amazon and realized that the price was much more than the publisher's price. So I started hunting for some bookshop/library here in India, which could help me locate the book. Bookfinder.com was an excellant site. Many a times, books that we weed out, may be needed by other Libraries. I was taking just such a chance (one in a million, I know) but, in this way I can communicate with library professionals all over the country!!! Thats something!!!!

India ICT industry at crossroads: Gartner
by Prof. N. Laxman Rao. 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

http://www.ciol.com/content/search/showarticle1.asp?artid=74504&nl=2_15033_… India ICT industry at crossroads: Gartner The dwindling government interest in the ICT industry would lead to a re-focus on other industries and India's digital divide would be pronounced Thursday, September 01, 2005 MUMBAI: Indian Information & Communications Technology (ICT) companies may be missing a significant opportunity by concentrating their efforts on India's much-hyped export market and failing to capitalise on the country's burgeoning domestic market, warned Gartner. Speaking at the Gartner Summit India 2005 in Mumbai, analysts said that India continued to have the fastest growing ICT market in the world, and predicted a combined annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19 percent from 2004 through 2008. Though starting from a much smaller base, this is significantly faster growth than the second fastest growing ICT market in the world - China. Gartner estimates that ICT spending in India will surpass US$54.8 billion by 2008, a rise from US$29.5 billion in 2004. "India is one of the few countries in the world where the impact of the services export-oriented business far outweighs that of the domestic side," said Partha Iyengar, research vice president at Gartner. "The overall impact of ICT development in the country is skewed heavily around the unique dynamics of this services export trend, often to the detriment of the domestic opportunity." Whilst some Indian service providers are making a name in certain global markets, such as IT services and business process outsourcing (BPO), it is the global players that are firmly entrenched in the Indian domestic market. Domestic vendors currently account for only 42 percent of total ICT spend in India. Iyengar said, "The dominance of foreign providers in India is driven by a combination of a lack of credible domestic ICT infrastructure providers - other than in the Telecom space - and the benign neglect of the emerging and growing domestic services business by the major Indian service providers. Unless action is taken now, domestic providers could see their share of the Indian market slip further." Iyengar further counseled that India's much prized export-focused industry, currently estimated to be worth around $16.5 billion, could ultimately be under threat if local providers fail to gain ground in the domestic market. According to Gartner, Indian businesses are increasingly turning to multinational brands in the outsourcing of high-profile contracts. Gartner believes that if Indian technology providers have no standing in the local market and are thus unable to compete for these higher-end (transformation oriented) deals, it will hamper their future prospects in pursuing similar deals in international markets. "This scenario creates an interesting range of possibilities on how India's ICT business might unfold over the next few years," said Iyengar. "The possible paths will be predicated by a complex combination of vendor, government and end-user behaviour over the next few years. The impact of outside forces in the form of global treaties or national trade barriers could also have a profound impact on the future growth of ICT in India. So, in a manner of speaking, India is not completely in control of its own destiny with regard to its domestic ICT industry." Gartner has defined three potential scenarios for India's ICT industry in 2010. Each scenario highlights six parameters: Domestic ICT Industry, ICT Export Industry, Social Impact, Political Impact, Overall Economy and ICT Standards. Gartner's first scenario, 'Global ICT Superstar' is characterised by balanced development of both the domestic ICT industry and export strength. It assumes a high level of government support with the India ICT industry driving policy as well as defining new global standards. It would lead to a strong economy and a large majority of the population would stand to benefit. In the second scenario, the domestic ICT industry would continue to be dominated by foreign multinationals and the export market would struggle for survival. According to Gartner, in this scenario, dwindling government interest in the ICT industry would lead to a re-focus on other industries and the country's digital divide would be pronounced. In the third and final scenario, India would cease to be a global ICT player, largely ignoring global standards and protocol. Gartner predicts that this scenario would lead to economic malaise in IT-centric states as the focus on the ICT industry rapidly evaporated. Iyengar concluded, "Clearly the ICT industry in India stands at a crossroads. If technology providers, end-users and government can work together to pursue the path outlined in the first scenario then India will not only prosper but also serve as a model for market development in other emerging countries."

Hi, That is a very valid question the answer of which even I am seeking. Another question that come to mind regarding the copyright laws is, Can Libraries in India keep, display and circulate photocopied books as part of the library collection? I have read somewhere that Libraries can keep upto 3 copies as part of their collection. If yes, does it not violate copyright laws, if it does not, then how so? Eagerly awaiting a reply to this question.....!!! Thanks and Regards, Parinita HexaVarsity - Library 55919595 Ext.

MULISSA Friday Talk - Report
by N.S. Harinarayana 05 Sep '05

05 Sep '05

Report of the Friday Talk held at Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Manasagangotri, Mysore. Topic: Information for an open society Speaker: S. Sheshishkar, Informedia, Mysore Date: September 2, 2005 Time: 4 to 5 PM Venue: Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysore Organiser: MULISSA Summary of the lecture: Information is a vital resource. Libraries have a natural link with information. Librarians from Kallimachos to Ranganathan have always worked for organization of information. Society at large has no or very little role in the creation and distribution of information However, the balance seems turning towards the society. Any body can create and distribute the information directly. Thanks to the development of technologies like WWW, email, VoIP, IRC etc. The speaker introduced some of those technologies which can be used by any one in an open society. Here the concept open society designates �a society that allows its members considerable freedom in creation and use of information�. We are moving towards Open Society where every one has equal opportunity to participate in creation, distribution, sharing and use of knowledge. There are plenty of opportunities for any to document his/her thoughts. Wikipedia is a huge success story. Any body can contribute to Wikipedia in any language of the world. More than one thousand articles have been placed in Kannada language. (http://kn.wikipedia.org) One can contribute, modify others article and/or record their criticism. Its growth rate is enviable even to the likes of Encyclopedia Britannica. Another technology that encourages every one to contribute is the Web log or Blogs in short. Web logs or blogs are a type of Web content typically created by independent writers (although some reporters for media companies create blogs on newspaper or magazine sites). Some are personal journals; others resemble newsletters or columns. Often, they contain links to other sources of content. Planet Sun is an example and an aggregation of public weblogs written by employees of Sun Microsystems (http://planetsun.org) Bookmarks save the addresses of your favorite sites, so you can return to them quickly without having to retype the address. In some browsers, bookmarks are called favorites. What makes social bookmarks different from bookmarks is its ability to see the bookmarks collected by others. del.icio.us is a social bookmarks manager. It allows you to easily add sites you like to your personal collection of links, to categorize those sites with keywords, and to share your collection not only between your own browsers and machines, but also with others. Open societies does not disrespect the copyrights and intellectual property rights. The contents created could be registered for their flexible copyrights. For example the Creative Commons website (www.opencontent.org) enables copyright holders to grant some of their rights to the public while retaining others through a variety of licensing and contract schemes including dedication to the public domain or open content licensing terms. The intention is to avoid the problems current copyright laws create for the sharing of information. The speaker also provided information about many success stories of open society creation like Project Gutenberg, Wikibooks etc. He said open society might contribute to the already existing information deluge on the Internet. For example by participating in the Open Directory Project � DMOZ, we can provide an organized approach to the resources on Internet. Mr. C.S. Surendra welcomed the gathering and Ms. Chaitra M extended the vote of thanks. The above summary is prepared by Mr. Raghu and Mr. Harish, the first and the third semester students of MLISc respectively under the guidance of Dr. N.S. Harinarayana. -- N.S.Harinarayana Ph.D Department of Library and Information Science University of Mysore Manasagangotri, Mysore 570 006 Ph: 2419393
