Press release: New international study demonstrates worldwide
by Subbiah Arunachalam 26 Jun '05

26 Jun '05

News from the University of Southampton Ref: 05/117 23 June 2005 New international study demonstrates worldwide readiness for Open Access mandate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A wide-ranging new international study across all disciplines has found that over 80 per cent of academic researchers the world over would willingly comply with a mandate to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional repository. The findings of the study, carried out by Key Perspectives Ltd, for the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) in the UK, have been greeted by Southampton's Professor Stevan Harnad as 'a historic turning point in the worldwide research community's progress towards 100 per cent Open Access'. The new results are being reported this week at the International Conference on Policies and Strategies for Open Access to Scientific Information in Beijing, China (22-24 June 2005) by Dr Alma Swan of Key Perspectives, along with new findings from Dr Les Carr, of the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton, the only UK university that already has a self-archiving mandate. Southampton is a leader in the worldwide Open Access movement. The international, cross-disciplinary study on Open Access had 1296 respondents. The main findings are: * The vast majority of authors (81 per cent) would comply willingly with a mandate from their employer or research funder to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based repository; a further 14 per cent would comply reluctantly, and only 5 per cent would not comply (highest willingness, US: 88 per cent; UK: 83 per cent; lowest, China: 58 per cent). * 49 per cent of respondents had already self-archived at least one article in the previous three years * 31 per cent of respondents were not yet aware of the possibilities of self-archiving * Use of institutional repositories for self-archiving had doubled since the first survey (2004) ; the University of Southampton has the highest rate of self-archiving in the UK * Only 20 per cent of authors who self-archived reported any degree of difficulty in self-archiving, and this dropped to 9 per cent with subsequent experience. Les Carr's analyses of Southampton web-logs show that it takes 10 minutes for the first paper, and even less for subsequent papers. * Self-archiving is done the most by those researchers who publish the most papers * Researchers' primary purpose in publishing is to have an impact on their fields (i.e., to be read, used, built upon, and cited) In a separate exercise the American Physical Society (APS) and the Institute of Physics Publishing Ltd (IOPP) were asked about their experiences over the last 14 years of existence of arXiv (the open e-print archive which has over 300,000 physics papers deposited). Both publishers said that they could not identify any loss of subscriptions due to arXiv, did not view it as a threat to their own publishing activities and indeed encouraged it. 'These results are hugely important,' said Stevan Harnad, 'and will be highly influential. Currently only 15 per cent of articles are being self-archived worldwide, but we can see from the survey that the overwhelming majority of academic authors everywhere would willingly self-archive if they were asked to do so. The results are already confirmed by the 90% self-archiving rate at Southampton, the first institution to adopt a self-archiving mandate, and by CERN, the world's biggest institution to adopt a self-archiving mandate, with likewise over 90% self-archiving: http://makeashorterlink.com/?W11C2205B http://makeashorterlink.com/?Y24C2105B http://makeashorterlink.com/?O65C4205B 'Universities and research-funders who have hesitated about requiring this now have the clear evidence that a self-archiving mandate would not lead to resistance or resentment. And those who hesitated to mandate out of concern for publishers should note that the publishers with the most and longest experience with author self-archiving welcome it.' On the critical question of whether the optimal route for self-archiving is the central one (as favoured by the US National Institutes of Health) or the distributed institutional model (favoured by the UK), Professor Harnad says that the JISC/Key Perspectives reports provide strong support for the UK Parliamentary Select Committee, which specifically proposed distributed institutional self-archiving. This is now likely to form the basis of a recommendation from Research Councils UK (RCUK), which has been considering the future of Open Access to UK-funded research output. ENDS Notes for Editors 1.

Libraries resist FBI move
by Mailing List Manager 22 Jun '05

22 Jun '05

Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 22:44:01 -0700 (PDT) From: Rashid Hussain <ras_botlib(a)yahoo.co.in> Now FBI is focusing on the people who borrowed the book or any information related to Osama Bin Laden after the terrorists attack in US. for detail please have a look on the following article by Jamie Wilson. Focus on people who borrow books on Osama bin Laden The bookish calm of a public library might not seem like the most obvious place to hunt for terrorists, but according to a report the FBI and other U.S. law enforcement agencies involved in counter-terrorism have made more than 200 requests for information about borrowers from libraries since September 11. A list of people who had borrowed a book on Osama bin Laden was among the information to have been demanded since the introduction of the Patriot Act, the legislation that has enhanced the Government's powers to investigate alleged terrorist activity after the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. The power to subpoena library records has been fiercely resisted by the American library association, which believes it could put people off reading certain books or subjects. It commissioned the study after the Justice Department sought to play down the likely number of requests for library records. ``What this says to us is that agents are coming to libraries and they are asking for information at a level that is significant, and the findings are completely contrary to what the Justice Department has been trying to convince the public [of],'' Emily Sheketoff, the executive director of the library association's Washington office, said. The use of the Patriot Act to request information from librarians came to public attention last year when a library in Washington State received a demand for information after a user took out a book on Osama and found a handwritten note in the margin saying: ``Hostility toward America is a religious duty and we hope to be rewarded by God.'' The borrower went to the FBI who in turn went to the library seeking names and information on borrowers who had taken out the biography since 2001. The library turned down the request and fought a subsequent subpoena. Critics claim that the Act is an infringement of civil liberties and that it has increasingly been the subject of debate in Congress. � � Guardian Newspapers Limited 2004 Source: http://www.hindu.com/2005/06/22/stories/2005062200191700.htm Thanks & Regards = = = = = = = = = = = Rashid Hussain Siddiqui Project Assistant Digital Library, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Science Jayanagar, Bangalore : 560041 Phone No. : 080-26540930 e-mail : ras.botlib(a)gmail.com Homepage : http://www.drtc.isibang.ac.in/~hussain = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = A good library is a place, a palace where the lofty spirits of all nations and generations meet. � Samuel NIGER (1883-1956) --------------------------------- Yahoo!

A graduate may now be able to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy from Mumbai University. The University apex body, the Management Council, has decided to make graduates eligible for pursuing PhDs from this academic year. However the candidates will have to clear an Aptitude Test conducted by the University Department or Research Centre from where they want to pursue the Ph.D. Earlier graduates were not eligible for the course. Only a post graduate with minimum 60% marks could opt for research. Managing Council has now also decided to relax the eligibility criterion for post graduates. Now a post-graduate with 55% will also be eligible for research. Only Mumbai University has implemented the new PhD guidelines and it was done by vice-chancellor Dr. Vijay Khole. Thanks to the University Authorities for this remarkable decision. Regards, Anand.
