OA bridging the North-South divide
by Subbiah Arunachalam 11 Nov '06

11 Nov '06

>From Peter Suber's blog "Open Access News OA bridging the North-South divide Marlon, Domingus, Research Unleashed? A presentation at the CODESRIA-ASC Conference Series 2006: Electronic Publishing and Dissemination (Leiden, September 7, 2006). (Thanks to Stevan Harnad.) Excerpt: The international open access movement has reached a new level. In open access stage 1 we see a focus on technical issues related to open access and on gaining content for repositories. The words open access are important drivers in this stage. In stage 1, as Alma Swan [2006] points out, we see new technologies applied to existing processes (i.e. more of the same, faster and cheaper). In stage 2 new technologies are integrated into existing processes (i.e. improve existing systems).[Swan, 2006] In stage 2 we see a focus on services based on repositories and the words open access have become less effective. Stage 2, I claim, is all about supporting scholarly communication and using technical infrastructure to be more efficient.... Connecting Africa is a hub for the Africanist community around the world. The open access available publications it provides access to are downloaded dosens of times a month individually. As such it is to be expected to facilitate scholarly communication in African Studies and, to my mind, is an example of open access stage 2. The South- North divide as seen in the case of SciELO indicates that open access indeed does have an impact on usage of and citations to the oa publications. Also in the North-South perspective the same effects are to be found. Based on these examples one could hold that open access is a means to bridging the divide between North and South. It needs allies like Google and key research tools that make publications visible and available. Whether visibility and availability will diminish the Matthew effect remains to be seen.

Open Access publishing in physics gains momentum
by noufal palliparamban 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

Hello As if inventing the World-Wide Web were not revolutionary enough, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) is now on its way to unleashing a paradigm shift in the world of academic publishing. For the first time ever, an entire scientific field is exploring the possibility of converting its reader-paid journals into an author-paid Open Access format. The paradigm shift would involve moving from the traditional model of financing publications through reader subscriptions to free-for-readers publications financed by funding agencies via laboratories and the authors themselves. In addition to revolutionising the academic publishing world, Open Access could also have a great impact on research itself as researchers and funding agencies would see their opportunities broaden with the unlimited distribution of their publicly funded research results. The funding agencies have taken the lead in this project and are currently in the process of establishing a sponsoring consortium for Open Access publishing in particle physics, SCOAP3. It has already received expressions of support from many European countries, funding agencies, laboratories, the European Committee for Future Accelerators (ECFA) and both national and international library consortia. 'There is a wind of change blowing and with it the possibility to experiment with new models - in this CERN is perceived as the pioneer of a new publishing paradigm and the SCOAP initiative as a pilot project for future developments in scientific publishing,' said Peteris Zilgalvis, the Head of Unit of Ethics and Science at DG research of the European Commission. Publishers are also aligning themselves with the opportunities offered by Open Access publishing. Journals published by the American Institute of Physics, the American Physical Society, Elsevier and Springer have already started to offer authors the possibility to make their articles freely available to readers. As for the publishing consortium of the European Physical Journal, it has lowered the price tag for an Open Access option and announced an author-friendly approach to copyright. At the same time, the publishers of the Journal of High Energy Physics (JHEP) have stated that they are ready to embrace a sponsorship policy in which they would allow unrestricted access to their articles. Regarding the costs involved in such a policy, JHEP stated: 'we have managed to prove that the costs can be reduced whilst at the same time ensuring the highest rigour in peer review'. If successful, the Open Access format could represent a quantum leap for the High Energy Physics publishing landscape and the wider world of scientific research.

Conversion of fulltext digital document archives in Winisis into greenstone -reg
by Rajankila 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Dear Friends, I have keen interst in getting in touch with those who have done conversion of Winisis fulltext digital document archives into greenstone digital libraries, for learning more from them and experimenting more on it. Last week I could convert two fulltext digital collections -one with 752 downloaded web documents and another collection with 209 books and working papers - into greenstone digital library very easily with gsdl 2.70w. I think it is high time for librarinas to concentrate more on those friendly technologies for better information / knowledge management. If librarians keep away form these easy-to-do technologies now, they will be sidelined by others who may come forward to utilise those friendly technlogies.

Open knowledge
by Subbiah Arunachalam 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

>From Peter Suber's blog Positive feedback loop for open knowledge Rufus Pollock, Open Knowledge Drives Out Closed (in the Long Run), Open Knowledge Foundation Weblog, November 6, 2006. Excerpt: After Greshams Bad money drives out good though with opposite sense. Open knowledge here is taken as given by the open knowledge definition and, in its essentials, means the knowledge (data/content/) must be freely accessible, reusable and redistributable. Closed by contrast means knowledge for which access and reuse are restricted in some manner, for example by charging for access, or by prohibiting reuse.... The idea behind this analogy is that there is a feedback for open knowledge just as there is with bad money (though obviously with a different mechanism). In the case of bad money the feedback is that people use the bad currency and hoard the good one because the former has lower intrinsic value. As a result the good money disappears and you are left with only the bad in circulation. In the case of open knowledge the feedback comes arises because, with viral licensing, each user of the knowledge pool becomes a contributor back to the pool. As the pool grows it is ever more attractive to new users so they use (and contribute) to it rather than to any competing closed set of knowledge. This results in a strong positive feedback mechanism. Of course, such a feedback mechanism also exists for closed knowledge: payments for access can be used to fund further investment resulting in a knowledge pool that is more valuable which attracts more users etc. However because closed knowledge has higher costs of access (monetary or otherwise), as long as the open knowledge pool is past a critical value threshold, it will always have the advantage in attracting new users.

SEARCHING BEYOND JUST GOOGLE

SEARCHING BEYOND JUST GOOGLE Kavita Kukday,The Times of India If, thanks to Google, searching on the Internet has started getting wearingly familiar, you probably need to look beyond Google and check out other search sites that are vying for the No 2 position. Here are three Google alternatives that are refreshingly different from Google. Try them and see if they work better for you: Vivisimo (www.vivisimo.com) This is a ?metasearch? engine, offering simultaneous results from several search engines. It is fast, has a clean user interface, and presents information in ?clusters? that narrow down your search results. Key in ?Diwali?, for example, and you?ll get subfolders like ?History of Diwali?, ?Diwali gifts and cards? and ?Diwali Recipes?. Vivisimo also lets you restrict searches to publications such as Reuters, CNN and such. Grokker (www.grokker.com) This search engine touts visual search as its selling point. Here again you?d find you search results sorted in clusters of the topic, but instead of presenting them in subfolders, Grokker separates them into a ?Map view? that you can zook into. It?s easier to relate to and visually more appealing. Rollyo (www.rollyo.com) This isn?t a separate search engine; it?s a tool that lets you create your own domain-specific search engine on the fly. What it basically does is, run on top of Yahoo! search and let your ?roll your own? searches. So, any individual can set up a custom ?searchroll? such as ?Medicine? or ?News?, which searches within anywhere from one to 25 different sites. This basically means that instead of sorting through thousands of sites, you could narrow your search to sites you already know and trust. Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Caritor (India) Pvt Ltd.

Sir, It is a topic of debate in madern multimedia society that reading habits are declining. I am conducting research on the same topic entitled " Impact of surfing on Reading Habits: A Case Study of the Students Of Kashmir Valley". During my study i find most of the students use online resources but still spend a good amount of time on reading their interested information. So we can conclude that only reading formats have changed not reading habits. Thans you fayazlib @yahoo.co.in --------------------------------- Find out what India is talking about on - Yahoo!
