Oxford and Cambridge University Publishers v. Students of India
by Vasanth 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Dear Sir/Madam. There is an interesting article by Lawrence Liang of Alternative Law Forum, Bangalore on Oxford and Cambridge University Publishers move to sue the Delhi University for bulk photocopying of books published by Oxford and Cambridge University Press which are prescribed as course materials at the Delhi University. This is high time for UGC to intervene and ask these publishers to allow photocopying of books for academic purposes. Otherwise, as Lawrence Liang puts it "what is at stake is not just the future of a single photocopying shop but the future of access to educational materials in India". If these publishers not allow for photocopying of text books for academic purposes, INFLIBNET and other institutions should stop subscribing journals of these publishers. Excerpt of the article (copied from http://kafila.org) Oxford and Cambridge University Publishers v. Students of India Accompanying a team conducting a raid against a photocopying shop outside AIIMS a few years ago a copyright lawyer had a moment of revelation akin to the apocryphal story of St Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus when Paul was asked by God “Why do you persecute me?”. In this case even as the photocopier was being arrested he defiantly turned to the lawyer and said “If I don’t sell these photocopies where do you think your doctors are going to come from? The lawyer in question is now a leading expert on copyright and public interest and one wonders whether a similar question posed to the lawyers representing Oxford and Cambridge University Press would evoke a similar change of heart especially if they considered their own route to becoming lawyers. The fact of the matter is that in most academic disciplines textbooks are extremely expensive and unaffordable for the average student and if one attempted to buy all the books which are prescribed for a course it would mean that only very few privileged students would afford an education in India. Full text of the article can be accessed at: http://kafila.org/2012/08/27/oxford-and-cambridge-university-publishers-v-s… ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Source of Purchasing of a book ‘the book that can’t wait’

Dear Professional, i want to purchase following book for our library,Can anyone tell me the bibliographic information about following book and let me know who will supply this book in india? ‘the book that can’t wait’ (‘el libro que no puede esperar’) *is printed in ink that begins to disappear when the book is opened for the first time* *Argentinean independent publishers Eterna Cadencia<http://www.eternacadencia.com/home.asp>r *eleased an anthology of new Latin authors using special ink that disappears once it comes in contact with sun and air, completely disappearing within two months time after opening the book. “The Book That Can’t Wait” makes for an interesting approach to motivate book buyers to read books more promptly, giving first-time authors the attention they need to survive. “Books are very patient objects,” reads the words streamed across the video’s screen. “We buy them, and then they wait for us to read them. Days, months, even years. That’s OK for books, but not for new authors. If people don’t read their first books. They’ll never make it to a second.” -- Thanks & regards Rajeshri Patel Asst.

bibliographic information & supplier of
by rajeshri patel 24 Aug '12

Dear Professional, Can anyone tell me the bibliographic information about following book and let me know who will supply this book in india? ‘the book that can’t wait’ (‘el libro que no puede esperar’) *is printed in ink that begins to disappear when the book is opened for the first time* *Argentinean independent publishers Eterna Cadencia<http://www.eternacadencia.com/home.asp>r *eleased an anthology of new Latin authors using special ink that disappears once it comes in contact with sun and air, completely disappearing within two months time after opening the book. “The Book That Can’t Wait” makes for an interesting approach to motivate book buyers to read books more promptly, giving first-time authors the attention they need to survive. “Books are very patient objects,” reads the words streamed across the video’s screen. “We buy them, and then they wait for us to read them. Days, months, even years. That’s OK for books, but not for new authors. If people don’t read their first books. They’ll never make it to a second.” -- Thanks & regards Rajeshri Patel Asst. Librarian Indus University Rancharda, Via-Thajtej, Ahmedabad-382115. Gujarat.

Fw: Public awareness of the OA movement
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

Friends: Please see the Economist debate on academic journals [http://www.economist.com/economist-asks/do-fee-charging-academic-journals-o…. It has not attracted many comments from readers - a clear indication that the general public (at least the segment that reads high quality news channels like The Economist) is least interested in, if not indifferent to, what we consider is of paramount importance. All our advocacy has not reached them. I think, instead of spending our time talking about refining and redefining the most appropriate way to bring about universal open access amongst ourselves (and that too with some amount of rancour) we should devote our attention now to take the message to the citizenry at large. We should promote Students for OA, Alliance of Taxpayers for OA and similar initiatives in a large scale. In the end, public awareness and taxpayer acceptance are the keys to the success of the OA movement. Regards. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
