by Subbiah Arunachalam 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

[Forwarded message from Kathleen Shearer] Hi there, The Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR)is kicking off a new project to collect and disseminate sustainable, replicable best practices related to populating repositories. The project will result in two outputs: (1) A public report highlighting best practices and including selected case studies. (2) A new section of the COAR website to include links to related resources such as documents, handouts, presentations, and posters. We are particularly interested in collecting advice and experience of institutions in areas such as: · Lessons learned: what’s worked and what hasn't? · Workflows or strategies to gather content and populate repositories over time. · Long-term staffing, operational plans, or campus partnerships that have lead to consistently higher rates of deposit. · Automated processes to gather content and populate repositories. · Any other long-term activities or operations that resulted in higher levels of article deposit. The focus of this project is on long-term, sustainable activities, strategies, and operations – i.e. ways in which organizations can improve deposit rates or increase the content in their repositories on a permanent basis. How to Contribute: Please identify any: · Resources or practices at your institution that you consider to be relevant. · Individuals and/or institutions from your region or country that we should contact. · References to other activities that you are aware of being implemented elsewhere. Email [mkshearer(a)videotron.ca] any documents that you think might be relevant including handouts, brochures, articles, websites, or your own description of an initiative. We will be collecting and reviewing information in March and April and will be producing a report that will be made freely available on the COAR website in the spring 2012. Further details are available on the project’s page on the COAR website: http://bit.ly/coar-sbpfpr. Thanks in advance for your input. M.

Open access to electronic theses soon to be commonplace-JISC
by Mailing List Admin 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

From: Shalini Urs shalini(a)isim.ac.in Date: Tue Feb 21 08:29:35 IST 2012 Open access to electronic theses soon to be commonplace Doctoral theses can attract significant attention when made openly accessible in electronic form according to the respondents of a sector-wide survey of information professionals. The JISC-funded survey gives a clearer picture of progress toward electronic thesis deposit in the UK, and how universities are achieving it. Open access to electronic theses soon to be commonplace : JISC <http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jisc.ac.uk%2Fnews%2Fstorie s%2F2012%2F02%2Ftheses.aspx%3Futm_source%3Dfeedburner%26utm_medium%3Dfeed%26 utm_campaign%3DFeed%253A%2Bac%252FuabG%2B%2528JISC%2BNews%2BWeb%2BFeed%2529& h=KAQFmMMOiAQGycYjP42ihY_GFbH7G6TPj7DJQb35hCb7JWg> ----- Abstract of the Report : Sharing knowledge and research outputs is critical to the progress of science and human development, and a central tenet of academia. The Internet itself is a product of the academic community, and opening access to that communitys most important body of research, doctoral theses, is both a logical and an inevitable development. Progress toward open access to electronic theses has been slow in the UK. Much has been written on the perceived barriers and practical/infrastructural considerations that might explain this, but a comprehensive picture of that progress, and obstacles to it, was lacking. In 2010, a survey of policy and practice in UK HEIs was conducted by UCL (University College London) Library Services (commissioned by the Joint Information Systems Committee, JISC) to address this very issue. Incorporating inputs from 144 institutions currently awarding doctoral degrees, the work provides the first clear and detailed picture of the status of open access to doctoral research in the UK. The mission of the UK Council for Graduate Education (UKCGE) is to promote and support the interests of graduate education, and this it does through dissemination of best practice and intelligence on emergent trends; helping to shape policy and practice for the benefit of the UK HEI sector. This report contributes to that mission by bringing to the memberships attention the results of this important work by UCL Library Services; a collaboration between UKCGE and the authors of the original work, it sets out the policies and practices that emerged from the survey and also considers what has been learned about the perceived barriers to the implementation of open access to electronic theses. The 2010 survey has enabled, for the first time, a differentiation to be made between barriers that are real and those which are unfounded and/or yet to be properly validated. At the same time, the work highlights the progress made in certain critical areas, as well as those that require our greater attention. A positive picture emerges for the UK on the adoption of the electronic thesis, with the majority of HEIs surveyed expected to be providing open access to their theses in five years time. A more detailed picture also emerges regarding the primary reasons for requests to restrict access to theses, some of which, notably, apply only to electronic (not print) theses. This has necessarily given rise to new policy developments. There is positive evidence also of collaboration among HEIs to provide an efficient and robust service for accessing electronic theses; pooling their resources and expertise either in the development of their institutional repositories or in operating a joint service. The key driver of open access to electronic theses is the opportunity for UK HEIs to showcase their research outputs to the widest possible audience and enhance their impact. There are no reliable means as yet to measure this impact, but there are encouraging early indications that electronic doctoral theses attract significant attention when made openly accessible. Open access to electronic theses may therefore indeed accelerate the sharing of knowledge and the progress of scientific discovery and human development.

Book on Design & Development of Institutional Repositories
by shivaram gowda 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Dear Members It is highly motivating news that 25+ Indian institutional repositories have been listed in worlds top repositories ranked by M/s Sigmatrics information services, Spain (http://repositories.webometrics.info/toprep.asp) Many organizations and research laboratories of ICAR, CSIR, ICMR, etc are expressing interest in establishing institutional repositories. Recently CSIR had made it mandatory for all its laboratories to establish institutional repositories. Informative documentation, Books, and featured IR Tools will play key role in success of IRs. New book titled Design & Development of Institutional Repositories by Dr. (Mrs) Poornima Narayana, Head, Information center, CSIR-NAL has been published in the domain, which is definitely a good contribution to the existing resources available in the area. Professionals who are engaged in OA, especially in IR activities can benefit from this book to a great extent. About the book: This book attempts to study the Problems and Perspectives in Design and Development of Institutional Repositories (IR). The serial crisis leads to Open Access Movement in the world with the emergence of its prominent channel; the IRs - an Organization based service for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community members. IRs provide visibility, preserve the heritage, enhance prestige of the institution, propagate/promote the research and facilitate interaction among the scientists/academicians. This study has evaluated major IRs set up in the world and especially in India in terms of IR software (commercial and open), infrastructure, archival issues, subject, document type and language in depth resulting in the evolution of suitable different IR models both in global and national context. Based on the interactions of IR managers/administrators both from world’s and India’s leading IRs and user community of scientists and academicians, key factors successful for sustainability, expertise, sound policies, guidelines and standards for establishing IRs have been evolved both at worldwide and national levels. Details of the Book Title: Design & Development of Institutional Repositories Author: Dr. (Mrs) Poornima Narayana Publishers: LAP-Lambert Academic Publishing, Saarbrucken, W. Germany Pages: 404 ISBN-13: 978-3-8473-7652-1 ISBN-10: 3847376527 EAN: 9783847376521 https://www.lap-publishing.com/catalog/details/store/gb/book/978-3-8473-765… Warm regards Shivaram BS -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Will open access replace costly commercial publishing models?
by G Mahesh 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

A recent article in The Hindu discusses the increasing cost of research journals and highlights why open access should be widely adopted. Excerpt form the article: "Open access advocates say Indian papers appear in both Indian and foreign journals, roughly in equal proportions, but most Indian journals have a very poor circulation, many of them below 1,500; and most Indian papers appear in low-impact foreign journals. Most scientists in India are forced to work in a situation of information poverty. Others are unable to access what Indian researchers are doing, leading to low visibility and low use of their work. Thus, Indian work is hardly cited. Both these handicaps can be overcome to a considerable extent if open access is adopted widely, both within and outside the country, says Subbiah Arunachalam, an open access advocate."

CALIFORNIA DIGITAL LIBRARY JOINS PKP AS MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PARTNER
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Feb '12

19 Feb '12

The University of California system supports open access to the hilt. Indian universities can follow in their footsteps. Our Vice Chancellors and Directors of higher institutes of learning should examine how CDL has achieved so much in such a short time and emulate the CDL experience in India. Arun [Forwarding from the California Digital Library, via the JISC-Repositories list. --Peter Suber.] As the scholarly publishing landscape heats up with more talk of boycotts and Open Access mandates, research libraries increasingly find themselves at a crossroads between publishers and faculty -- and eagerly working to provide new solutions to entrenched problems. The California Digital Library’s (CDL) latest foray into this space, on behalf of the University of California system, focuses on supporting open source publishing infrastructure through a major development partnership with the Public Knowledge Project (PKP). As a result of this agreement, the CDL will assist with PKP’s ongoing development and support of its open source software suite — Open Journal Systems (OJS), Open Conference Systems (OCS), and Open Harvester System (OHS), with Open Monograph Press (OMP) due for release in the coming year. Chuck Eckman, Dean of Library Services at Simon Fraser University stated: "The California Digital Library is widely recognized for its record of innovation and leadership in the domain of scholarly publishing and the SFU Library is thrilled at the prospects this new collaborative venture creates for advancing our shared scholarly communication goals." Laine Farley, Executive Director of CDL, noted, “Not only are we extremely pleased with the flexibility afforded by OJS, we are also delighted to join this growing international community and contribute to the future growth of this publishing solution.” The California Digital Library, in partnership with the University of California campus libraries, supports and encourages open access publishing initiatives within the UC system through its eScholarship publishing and institutional repository platform. eScholarship provides a suite of open access, scholarly publishing services and research tools that enable departments, research units, publishing programs, and individual scholars associated with the University of California to have direct control over the creation and dissemination of the full range of their scholarship. Home to 45 peer-reviewed journals (http://escholarship.org/uc/search?smode=browse;browse-journal=aa) eScholarship has recently transitioned to OJS as its journal management and submission system and has integrated OJS with its pre/post-print, books and working papers repository, which contains more than 45,000 UC-affiliated publications. John Willinsky, Khosla Family Professor of Education at Stanford University, Library Scholar in Residence and Professor (Limited Term) in Publishing Studies at Simon Fraser University, and founding Director of PKP stated: “Given the leadership, innovation, and engagement shown by CDL in moving scholarly communication into a digital era marked by a spirit of greater openness and sharing aimed at the advancement of learning, this partnership provides a wonderful opportunity for PKP to further explore ways that faculty and librarians can work together to make more of what we do more of a public good.” The California Digital Library provides digital library development and support for the University of California libraries and the communities they serve. The CDL Publishing Group delivers open access digital publication services to the University of California academic community, supports widespread distribution of UC research materials, and fosters new models of scholarly publishing through the development and application of advanced technologies. (For further information contact Catherine Mitchell, director of CDL Publishing at catherine.mitchell(a)ucop.edu510.587.6132.) PKP is dedicated to improving the scholarly and public quality of research. With more than 11,500 installations of Open Journal Systems (OJS); Open Conference Systems (OCS); and Open Harvester Systems (OHS) around the world, the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) has proven that open source software can be a game changer in scholarly publishing. In September 2011, PKP officially launched a major sustainability campaign to ensure the continued development and enhancement of its open source software suite and to provide better support for the growing PKP user community.

My proposals to ILA- AGM in response to Laxman Rao Sir's mail
by Ajay Kamble 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Dear Sir, In this regard, I would like to put forth few of my views regarding the above subject. 1. we don't have any doubts about the functioning of ILA. Yes, we all know it is active and working for the betterment of profession. But, when the sixth pay commission has send it's proposal and MHRD publish it. Then many of our senior library professionals come forward with the anomalies in the sixth pay circular. They have posted it via various online forums and some of them were also sent to our associations and UGC too. But, none of them were considered by the UGC committee. One of the issue was regarding the appointment rules of Deputy Librarian and non-requirement of Ph.D. degree for that post. That time, we expect our national level association shall come forward to help those library professionals regarding the matter. I dont know whether ILA has made some representations regarding that. But the main issue I want to put forth is maybe ILA was trying to represent but there may be a communication gap. I think ILA should communicate, whatever they are doing or trying to do for the profession via LISFORUM, NMLIS, MLOSC etc. so that it can bridge the information divide between the association and lis professionals all over. 2. We all know, the 'status of librarian' has been the subject of discussion and has been discussed on various platforms from decades and we thank ILA for achieving the payscale parity for librarians along with other teachers. But there are few other question's in my mind regarding the status of Librarians. They are, a) The person who's holding a strong position in University, a professor status, permanent member of senate and so many other notable holding at university level is socially called as "Librarian"(University Librarian). This position need 18 years experience at librarian at college level or 13 years experience at Assistant Librarian at University level and offcourse Research and other criteria's also. b) The person who's working in a College library as head of library department is also called as a "Librarian". This position now need PG in library and Information Science with NET/SET/SLET or Ph.D. c) The person who's working in a Public Library at A, B, C, D level as a main person in the library mostly having no rights in decision making regards library is also called as "Librarian"(Public Librarian). Needs SSC / HSC / Graduate with 3 month library training certificate / C.Lib / B.lib. d) UGC has given library professionals parity in payscale, but in status they are still the "other academic staff" and not the "teaching staff" in the Institution. e) In state Maharashtra, Librarians are included in the definition of Teacher in University Act. In other few states, they are not included. In forthcoming Maharashtra Public University Act, University Librarian has be mentioned as "Director, Knowledge Resource Centre", other designation's are not being changed. f) In Maharashtra, Government has recently accepted the demand of librarians to became a principal of college and a GR's has been published in this regard. But in other state librarians are still struggling to be a principal. g) In Andhra Pradesh(confirm) and Karnataka(not confirm), Government College Librarians and University level Library Professionals has been designated as Professor in Library and Information Science, Associate Professor in LIS, Assistant Professor in LIS. I have the circular of Andhra Pradesh with me. In this regard, can we expect from our association to create a draft of unique designations and get it sanctioned from UGC and MHRD(if needed) so that the library professionals can get some unique and respectable identity in their institutions and well as social life. 3. There is one more important point which we found in Maharashtra and dont know about what other state library professionals are facing. Though, Librarians are included in the definition of teachers in Maharashtra, but whenever some Government Resolution or Circular is passed regarding the college teachers, the librarians has to struggle and convince the Government to publish a separate GR for them as the Director of Education refuses the proposal of librarians b'coz of the word "Librarian" was not there in the earlier GR,Circular. This situation is faced recently when the circular on the increment in retirement age of college and university teachers is published by Government of Maharashtra. It is found that except 6th Pay, the library professionals have to struggle every time to get the benefits given to college teachers by the government, and the government also publish a separate GR for the librarians. 4. Some College Library Professionals in Maharashtra are being considered as a teaching faculty and their names are included in Teaching Muster, but in 60% institute's their names are put in non-teaching muster. In some colleges, where library professional's name is included in the teaching muster, it is written at the bottom of the muster even after the teachers junior to him. Though, there is a circular of Joint Director Office, Nagpur(Maharashtra) in this regard, some institutes refuses to accept as they think that circular as region bounded for Nagpur region only. 5. To contest for the senate elections or to become a research guide(3 years teaching experience required after Ph.D.) is still a hard task for librarians as the statutes and laws ask "Teaching Experience" for these post and Librarians are kept out of it just because his working experience is not considered as teaching experience. 6. The CAS facilities available for library professionals differs from other teachers post and they are also not included in 10% post for professors in the Institute. As library professionals in Andhra Pradesh are being called Assistant P, Associate P and Professor, they might not be facing this problem. I would like to request our association to look into this matter and frame some innovative guidelines at national level, so that the library professionals would not have to face problems mentioned above and also have a following suggestions. 1. The issues which are being handled by ILA in past, the issues which are under discussions with UGC and the future issues to be taken by the ILA shall be communicated either through the ILA's website or through online forums or both. 2. The Association should make a call and accept grievance's and suggestions from the library professionals and if they are of national level should try to carry forward them and communicate all about the status of that problems. ILA can start online help forum regarding this matter. 3. The Association should publish all the GR's and Circulars regarding librarians on their website so that the library professionals who's facing the problem will get benefited. 4. The Association should formulate unique designation's (Probably Assistant Professors, Associate Professor, Professor in LIS) for all library professional around the country and get it sanctioned from UGC(& MHRD), so that the benefits given to college teachers will automatically be transferred to library professionals without any problem. Also, there is a need to change the required qualification for senate member, research guide and other equivalent designations where "teaching experience" is need, "Experience" shall be considered instead of "Teaching experience" for these posts. 5. The Association shall try to bring parity in CAS facilities available for library professionals with other teachers post and attempts can also be made to include Library Professionals in 10% post for professors. -- Thanks and Regards, Ajay M.
