Fwd: Berghahn Open Anthro: 13 anthropology journals to flipped to open access in 2020

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jan 24, 2020 at 5:19 AM Subject: Berghahn Open Anthro: 13 anthropology journals to flipped to open access in 2020 To: <LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu> From: Mirela Roncevic <mirela(a)knowledgeunlatched.org> Date: Thu, Jan 23, 2020 at 11:05 AM *The ground-breaking subscribe-to-open pilot – Berghahn Open Anthro – will flip thirteen anthropology journals to open access in 2020* *Brooklyn, NY, January 23, 2020* Hailed as the largest concerted disciplinary journals flip to open access since SCOAP3, Berghahn Books will take the step of publishing thirteen core anthropology journals as open access starting with their 2020 volumes under the subscribe-to-open model (S2O). The availability of multiple models is paramount to maintaining a diverse, dynamic, and enterprising publishing ecosystem. Based on librarian curation, existing resources, and proven processes for supporting journals, a subscribe-to-open model is now emerging that makes financing sustainable open access more attainable, especially for smaller journals in the social sciences and humanities. Managing Director, Vivian Berghahn, said, “*We have been emboldened to take this significant step, thanks not only to the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response from the library community, who regard this approach as a progressive model worthy of support, but by the anthropology researcher community itself, who have mobilized as a discipline to endorse the pilot as a means for realizing a more equitable and globally inclusive solution for open access publishing*.” Participating libraries include open access pioneers who have shown their support for the pilot by subscribing to the entire collection, with other libraries affirming their backing when renewing subscriptions at the select title level. In adopting the model, many librarians are continuing to underwrite the journals their faculty has always endorsed, with other librarians drawn to a model that allows all readers and authors to benefit from open access alongside those in their own institution. Libraria’s Alberto Corsín Jiménez, Department of Social Anthropology, Spanish National Research Council, commented: “*At Libraria, we have been working hard to build open access environments that are equitable, sustainable, and inclusive. The Berghahn **Open Anthro pilot is an audacious and innovative project that leads the way in showing what a responsible partnership between researchers, libraries, and publishers can accomplish. It marks a milestone in anthropology's ongoing commitment to make its research available to indigenous communities and the public*.” Curtis Brundy of Iowa State University Library adds: “*The Berghahn Open Anthro pilot is one of the most exciting initiatives underway at this critical moment for open access. It is exciting because it originated from anthropologists who want to see their discipline’s literature open. And it is exciting because Berghahn Books listened and responded with a cooperative model that will not only make its 13 anthropology journals open, but can serve as a model and inspiration to move all of the field’s journals to open. This pilot and collaboration will advance openness and deserves wide support*.” S2O was initiated by Annual Reviews <https://www.annualreviews.org/page/subscriptions/subscribe-to-open>. The BOA adaptation was conceived and implemented in partnership with Libraria <http://libraria.cc/>. Berghahn Books is also working closely with Knowledge Unlatched <http://knowledgeunlatched.org/berghahn-open-anthro/> in introducing the model to libraries across the spectrum. Full details on the Berghahn Open Anthro initiative, including the list of participating libraries, can be found here <https://www.berghahnjournals.com/page/berghahn-open-anthro>. *About Berghahn Books* Founded in 1994, Berghahn Books is an independent publisher of scholarly books and journals in the humanities and social sciences. A peer-review, mission-driven press, Berghahn is committed to the highest academic standards and seeks to enable innovative contributions to the scholarship in its fields of specialty. www.berghahnbooks.com Contact: Vivian Berghahn, Managing Director: vivian.berghahn(a)berghahnbooks.com *About Libraria * Established in 2015, Libraria is a collective of researchers based in the social sciences who, drawing on the expertise of librarians, publishers, and other stakeholders, seek to bring about a more open, diverse, community-controlled scholarly communication system.

Kolkata Book Fair 2020 -- Plans to donate books to old age homes
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

As I am working for the interest of senior citizens after retirement following news item is of special importance to me. Not many residents of old age homes are interested in reading books. About ten years ago we made some attempts to donate unused / second hand books to OAHs. OAHs are reluctant to accept book donations. Same is the fate of SCAs. In Kolkata a proper study of requirements is thought of. Results may be encouraging. We have to wait and see. ============= CM to inaugurate 44th Kolkata Int'l Book Fair on January 29 Kolkata: The 44th Kolkata International Book Fair will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on January 29 at Central Park in Salt Lake and continue till February 9. One of the most interesting parts of this year's book fair is that the Publishers and Book Sellers Guild has come up with an idea of donating books to various old-age homes across the city. According to the general secretary of the guild Sudhangshu Sekhar Dey, they have taken a pledge to set up a library at various old-age homes so that the elderly citizens get an opportunity of reading a varied range of books. "A survey will be conducted at various old age homes to know what type of books the elderly citizens would wish to read. We would set up a library at each old-age home and the books would be donated according to the requirements of the readers. Reading books provides immense pleasure and the elderly people would be able to pick up the books they prefer," Dey said. Russia is the focal theme country of this year's book fair. H.E Kudashev Nikolay Rishatovich, Russian Ambassador to India, is expected to be present in the inaugural ceremony. There will be around 600 stalls and 200 little magazine stalls in the book fair, while there will be nine entry and exit gates for easy movement of the visitors. The theme gate will replicate the iconic Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. Two big halls of the book fair having mainly English publications have been named after Nabanita Dev Sen and Girish Karnas, who passed away in 2019. The little magazine pavilion, meanwhile, will be named after legendary poet Subhash Mukhopadhyay. As many as 20 countries will participate in the book fair this year. The Publishers and Book Sellers Guild has also focused on the event being an eco-friendly one. A number of steps would be taken to protect the environment during the fair days. The Urban Development department has also come forward to make the fair eco-friendly. Apart from a car parking area, there would also be a place demarcated for parking cycles. Those who will be interested to visit the place on their bicycles from the nearby areas of Salt Lake will face no problem in parking their cycles properly, assured the Publishers and Book Sellers Guild. The state Transport department will also arrange additional buses during the days of book fair to cater to the extra rush of passengers. === Source: http://www.millenniumpost.in/kolkata/cm-to-inaugurate-44th-kolkata-intl-boo… Dr P Vyasamoorthy 30 Gruhalakshmi colony Secunderabad 500015 040-29552016 / 09490804278 / 8179386472 A book in the hand is worth two on the shelf!

Special Issue of Informatics Studies on Agricultural Informatics- Papers Invited.
by editor＠informaticsstudies.in 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

Dear Agricultural Scientists and Students Informatics Studies is a platform for discussing the emerging trends in theory and application of Information Science and is entering its fifth year of publication. The journal focuses on interdisciplinary and international perspectives on Informatics. Information is a crucial resource in agriculture, potentially influencing the efficiency of production, marketing, processing and administration; as well as education, research and extension related to these factors. So the development process in agriculture rests heavily on information available to managers, scientists and farmers. Yet this aspect of agriculture gets least consideration and inefficiencies have become obvious in managing this resource. Various attempts to develop Agricultural Research Information Systems in most of the countries have failed due to lack of an integrated approach. Informatics Studies devotes Volume 7 (2) (April-June 2020 ) issue for studies on new developments and application of Information and Communication Technologies to solve agricultural, biological and natural resource problems. Scientists, educationists, extensionists, consultants, designers, programmers, managers and information users from agricultural and its penumbral sectors and farmers are requested to contribute research papers and articles for the issue. Any paper recording results of innovative research and development as well views on different areas of teh subject are welcome. Papers can be uploaded at informaticsstudies.in on or before 20th March 2020. Papers can also be submitted the editors e-mals provided below if there is any difficulty in uploading it.

SPARC and ORFG continue with their single-minded fight for open science
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

Friends: Here is a statement from Heather Joseph of SPARC dated 19 December 2019 “Like others, we have heard rumors about a possible new Administration Open Access Policy. As a coalition of more than 200 academic and research libraries on college and university campuses across the country, SPARC has long advocated for a federal policy that would make the results of taxpayer-funded research immediately available for the public to freely access and fully use. We wholeheartedly endorse updating current policy and eliminating the unnecessary 12-month waiting period for the public to gain access to the outputs of taxpayer-funded scientific research, including data, articles, and the supporting computer code. Ensuring full open access to articles and data reporting on the results of publicly funded research will deliver important benefits to all by improving scientific productivity, generating new uses and applications for research, empowering startup ventures and businesses, and giving patients and their families hope of finding cures to rare and currently untreatable diseases. Without a zero-embargo policy, the U.S. stands to fall substantially behind many other nations that have already introduced strong open access policies.” Well done Heather! ***** Open Research Funders Group Reaffirms Support for Open Science <http://www.orfg.org/news/2019/12/20/open-research-funders-group-reaffirms-s…> December 20, 2019 <http://www.orfg.org/news/2019/12/20/open-research-funders-group-reaffirms-s…> With news that the United States may be considering a shift in their national open access policy, the Open Research Funders Group <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?…> (ORFG) reaffirms its support for the sharing of research outputs as widely and quickly as possible. The ORFG, a partnership of 16 philanthropies <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?…> with assets in excess of $100 billion, believes that open access (along with open data and broader open science activities) benefits society by potentially accelerating the pace of discovery, reducing information-sharing gaps, encouraging innovation, and promoting reproducibility. >From a practical standpoint, open access demonstrates a tangible return on taxpayer investment. Federal funds that support research have their highest impact when the results of this labor are shared, discussed, tested, and built upon with as few restrictions as possible. Well done ORFG!

My passion is to establish village libraries and I was fortunate to have come into contact with several young library enthusiasts working mainly in the two Telugu speaking states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Already they are running several village libraries, including the one in Gundrampally (Nalgonda district, Telangana State) which is evolving as the model village library. They are planning to start 10 village libraries in the next couple of months. We will keep you posted about our plans and the support we need. Thank you in advance for all your blessings and support. May the light of knowledge illumine all our lives! Best wishes T.V. Prafulla Chandra 93461 66455

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Kjerste Christensen <kjerste_christensen(a)byu.edu> Date: Wed, Dec 11, 2019 at 2:16 PM Subject: [IFLA-L] Spring 2020 Online Course Grant Applications To: ifla-l(a)iflalists.org <ifla-l(a)iflalists.org> Dear colleagues, The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS), a division of the American Library Association, is now accepting applications for the Online Course Grant for Library Professionals from Developing Countries <http://www.ala.org/alcts/awards/grants/onlinegrant> to participate in our online fundamentals courses held between January and August in 2020. One free seat per session is available to librarians and information professionals from developing countries. For full information about the grant, including eligibility criteria and a link to the application form, please see: http://www.ala.org/alcts/awards/grants/onlinegrant. *Applications may be submitted between December 3, 2019 and January 2, 2020.* *Fundamentals of Acquisitions (FOA)* Session 1: February 10 – March 20 Session 2: April 20 – May 29 Session 3: June 10 – July 10 The Fundamentals of Acquisitions (FOA) web course focuses on the basics of acquiring monographs and serials: goals and methods, financial management of library collections budgets, and relationships among acquisitions librarians, library booksellers, subscription agents, and publishers. In this course, you will receive a broad overview of the operations involved in acquiring materials after the selection decision is made. Note that in FOA, we distinguish between collection development, which involves the selection of materials for the library; and acquisitions, which orders, receives, and pays for those materials. *Fundamentals of Collection Assessment (FCA)* Session 1: March 9 – April 3 Session 2: May 4 – May 29 The Fundamentals of Collection Assessment course introduces the fundamental aspects of collection assessment in libraries. The course is designed for those who are responsible for or interested in collection assessment in all types and sizes of libraries. The course will introduce key concepts in collection assessment including the definition of collection assessment, techniques and tools, assessment of print and electronic collections, and project design and management. *Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management (FCDM)* Session 1: March 2 – March 27 Session 2: April 27 – May 22 Session 3: June 22 – July 17 The Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management web course addresses the basic components of these important areas of responsibility in libraries. Components include complete definition of collection development and collection management; collections policies and budgets as part of library planning; collection development (selecting for and building collections); collection management (e.g., making decisions after materials are selected, including decisions about withdrawal, transfer, preservation); collection analysis—why and how to do it; outreach, liaison, and marketing; trends and suggestions about the future for collection development and management. *Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (FERA)* Session 1: February 24 – March 27 Session 2: April 13 – May 18 Session 3: July 20 – August 14 The Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (FERA) web course will provide an overview of acquiring, providing access to, administering, supporting, and monitoring access to electronic resources. It will provide a basic background in electronic resource acquisitions including product trials, licensing, purchasing methods, and pricing models and will provide an overview of the sometimes complex relationships between vendors, publishers, platform providers, and libraries. *Fundamentals of Cataloging (FOC)* Session 1: January 13 – February 21 Session 2: March 23 – May 1 Session 3: June 1 – July 10 Fundamentals of Cataloging (FOC) web course begins with a discussion of how cataloging assists users in finding resources and of the value of standardization of practice. These foundations are then given practical grounding in the work of creating bibliographic descriptions, the process of subject analysis, and summarizing content utilizing classification. Standards such as MARC bibliographic and authority formats, Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Classification are discussed. The shift in focus from format-based cataloging to entity-relationship model cataloging is taken from the FRBR foundation to the RDA practical application, with a final look at RDF triples and BIBFRAME. In all areas, the value of standards is illustrated and discussed. There is a heavy reliance on examples from actual practice throughout the course content. *Fundamentals of Preservation (FOP)* Session 1: March 9 – April 3 Session 2: May 4 – May 29 The Fundamentals of Preservation web course introduces participants to the principles, policies and practices of preservation in libraries and archives. The course is designed to inform all staff, across divisions and departments and at all levels of responsibility. It provides tools to begin extending the useful life of library collections. Components include preservation as a formal library function and how it reflects and supports the institutional mission; the primary role of preventive care, including good storage conditions, emergency planning and careful handling of collections; the history and manufacture of physical formats and how this impacts preservation options; standard methods of care and repair, as well as reformatting options; and challenges in preserving digital content and what the implications are for the future of scholarship. *Fundamentals of Metadata (FOM)* Session 1: February 10 – March 20 Session 2: April 6 – May 15 Session 3: June 15 – July 24 The Fundamentals of Metadata course will examine similarities and differences between cataloging and metadata; descriptive, technical, and administrative metadata schema; content standards and controlled vocabularies; approaches to metadata creation and transformation; and metadata project design. Thank you! We look forward to receiving your applications. Kjerste Christensen ALCTS International Relations Committee --
