On institutional archives
by Subbiah Arunachalam 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Friends: Prof. Fytton Rowlands writes: "... ... mandatory deposition in institutional repositories, each one operated by an independent university, but all networked together by means of the OAI-PMH, might be more reassuring to Americans." But despite the prolific and persuasive writings on this subject by Peter Suber, Stevan Harnad, Leslie Chan and others, there are not many iopen access institutional archives either in North America or in Europe (including the UK). And we are always told that scientists go be reason, logic and evidence! When it comes to publishing, disseminating information, etc. most scientists and scientific institutions are anything but unscientific. How are we going to convince them of the great value of open access institutional archiving? Some of us in India are trying really hard to convince our science managers (mostly in the government), vice chancellors, directors of research labs, professors and scientists who publish frequently, doctoral students and librarians of the great advantages of setting p institutional archives in India. The progress is at snail's pace! I sometimes wonder if we are holding a much larger number of conferences and workshops on open access than setting up working institutional archives. The situation is somewhat similar to poverty reduction. here are a number of conferences on the subject, but very little action on the ground. It might help if we enforce a code of conduct: Anyone wanting to organise a conference on open access should do so only after he/she sets up at least five institutional rchives and populates them with at least 50% ofthe institution's published papers!

[lisnet] MSU to host All-India Library Conference
by K Prakash 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

MSU to host All-India Library Conference Express New Service Vadodara, November 28: Hansa Mehta Library of MS University will play host to the 50th All India Library Conference of Indian Library Association from December 1. The conference is the first of its kind in Vadodara. The four-day conference - 'Knowledge Organisation in Digital Environment in Libraries' - will be inaugurated on December 1 and see participants all over the world. Over 300 librarians, information scientists, researchers, scholars and students of Library and Information Science are expected to participate in the conference. ''We have already received 109 paper presentations for the event. This is an opportunity for us to learn different library methods practiced around the world,'' said Kautilya H Shukla, the University librarian at MSU. The Hansa Mehta library has 7.5 lakh books to its credit and serves the distinction of being the largest university library system in the country. Though digitalisation of the library has been doing rounds, so far nothing has materialised. Shukla said that entire membership and accounting procedures are computerised but operations are still being done manually. Shukla further added that new technologies have given birth to concepts like digital libraries, e-libraries and virtual libraries that require re-engineering of knowledge organisations in the library. ''Quick access to information using digital devices or electronic media are unavoidable across the globe and library cannot be an exception,'' he said. He added that the authorities are considering digitalisation of the Hansa Mehta library soon. With best wishes/ regards.

by Vyasamoorthy＠icicikp.com 02 Dec '04

Dear Mr Vijaykumar Please find out the year in which the book was published and the year of death of author. Copyright for the book exists from the date of creation/publication of the book through out the lifetime of the author and up to fifty years after the death of the author - (enjoyed by his heirs). This means that during an author's lifetime and upto fifty years after his death, you can not copy without obtaining a permission to do so. In simpler terms, as of today (- we are in 2004), books whose authors are dead and gone before 1954 are safe to be copied. Once the copyright expires as indicated here, You can freely digitise and make available digitised version for use among your customers. This applies to Books published in India. Merely because a book has gone out of print you can not copy or digitise a book.

Self-archived at [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~gerrymck/Zillman.pdf ] The products and services I profile in my review include: *** Zillman Columns *** [ http://www.zillmancolumns.com ] "Since 1996, Zillman has also published regular columns that focus on timely Web topics (www.zillmancolumns.com) In 2004, for example, his columns included: * Student Research Resources on the Internet (October) * Grid and Distributed Computing Resources on the Internet (September) * Financial Sources on the Internet (August) * Data Mining Resources on the Internet (July) * Healthcare Resources on the Internet (June) * eCommerce Resources on the Internet (May) * Survey Resources on the Internet (April) * Privacy Resources and Sites on the Internet (March) * Finding People Resources and Sites on the Internet (February) * Finding Experts on the Internet (January) *** Awareness Watch* Newsletter *** [ http://www.awarenesswatch.com ] As exemplified by the Awareness Watch* Newsletter (www.awarenesswatch.com) a major theme in the work of Zillman is related to current awareness about quality information Web resources. His Awareness Watch* Newsletter is "a free monthly publication that * highlight[s] * . First published in December 2003, issues of this newsletter have profiled a range of Web sites and resources that include: * Anti-Virus, AntiHoax, AntiMyth, AntiFraud, AntiChain Letter and Anti-Spam sites on the Internet * Browsers and Information Visualization Tools * Business Intelligence Resources * Deep web and the Invisible web * Demographics and Statistics Resources * Information Alerts * Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Management and Knowledge Harvesting Sources * Niched Blog Search Engines, Blog Directories, and Web-based News Aggregators * Quality Information Resources, and * Subject Directories, Gateways, and Portals. *** Subject Tracer* Information Blogs *** [ http://www.subjecttracer.com ] One of the most innovative publication series developed by Zillman is his Subject Tracer* Information Blogs (www.subjecttracer.com) As described by Zillman, "a subject tracer is a blog created with the help of bots that monitor/collect the latest information on a subject on the Net" and "then update the [Subject Tracer*] blogs after determining the quality and competency of the source and data" (Murali, 2004). *** Books *** Zillman's publication efforts are not limited to compilations of quality Web-based resources. He is also the author of two major books: Internet Sources* Manual and Mining the Invisible Web. The Internet Sources* Manual (www.internetsources.info) is "a 378 page manual listing all the very latest and greatest sources and [Web] sites * that have been compiled over the [course] of the last ten years *. ." [SNIP] Coauthored with Sundar Kadayam, Mining the Invisible Web (www.miningtheinvisibleweb.com) provides a comprehensive and detailed review of significant Hidden Web resources and the tools necessary to identify and harvest such resources. *** Internet MiniGuides * *** [ http://www.internetminiguide.com/ ] Many of the topics found in Zillman's Web-based compilations are covered more extensively in a 'miniguide' series. The current Internet MiniGuides (www.internetminiguide.com) include: * Academic Resources * Advertising, Marketing, and Public Relations Resources * Business Resources * Competitive Intelligence Resources * Education and Distance Learning Resources * Healthcare Resources * International Trade Resources * Legal Resources, and * Security Resources.
