Access problem and affordability
by Subbiah Arunachalam 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

Dana Ruth said: "I think there is a tendency to overly generalize the access problem which, in my mind, is primarily a problem with the biomedical literature. Lack of access, by members of the general public who need to go from PubMed to the full text, is obviously very frustrating. My sense, however, is that few serious researchers or students are truly having a problem with access to the scientific literature. Granted there are problems for non-subscribers desirous of immediate ... seamless ... access. But with options such as institutional document delivery, visiting or contacting a friend at a subscribing library, direct purchase of individual articles, author websites, institutional repositories, etc. ... I doubt that very many researchers are having a serious problem with access." On the contrary, a very very large number of researchers around the world are having a serious problem with access. Perceptions depend on one's own circumstances. We are all conditioned by our own experience. Dana lives in California and works at Caltech. Affluent places. Most researchers in the world work in places where their libraries cannot afford even one tenth or one hundredth of Caltech library's collection of books, journals, reports, and paid online sources. For us the access problem is real and huge. [Even in the affluent West, librarians associations started advocating open access when they started feeling the pinch of steep rises in journal subscription costs.] That is why many of us advocate open access repositories. When arXiv was founded, physicists around the world (including those working at Caltech, Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Oxford and Cambridge) benefited a great deal. That is why researchers in less-endowed institutions need open access to all research. And the preferred mode is OA repositories. Talking about OA journals, notice that many OA journals in the West (e.g. PLoS, BMC) charge a publication fee from the authors, but hardly any OA journal published from Brazil or India or any other developing country. Access and affordability are both important. One without the other is far less effective. And when every researcher adopts open access self-archiving, then everyone, everywhere, will have free online access to all journal articles and the issue of affordability (for subscribing to expensive journals) will diminish in importance. That is where institutional and funder OA mandates become important.

Madras High Court stays plan to turn library into hospital
by Pawan Agrawal 05 Nov '11

05 Nov '11

Madras High Court stays plan to turn library into hospital CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Friday stayed the Tamil Nadu government's controversial proposal to shift the recently-constructed Anna Centenary Library to DPI campus in Nungambakkam. A bench of Chief Justice MY Eqbal and Justice TS Sivagnanam granted stay after three PILs were filed questioning the decision . It also directed the government to file a counter affidavit in six weeks. The petition was filed by advocate P Pugalenthi, who claimed the November 1 decision of the state cabinet to shift the library would be "arbitrary, unfair and unreasonable." Chief minister Jayalalithaa had on Wednesday announced that the library, set up by the previous M Karunanidhi government for Rs 230 crore, would be converted into a children's specialty hospital. Justifying her decision on shifting the library, she had said her government, by initiating the effort, has put the state in the forefront of child care. The PILs said it was a political move that would affect the children's right to education . Chief Justice Eqbal, who had only last month attended a function at the library, observed on Friday that it was indeed a beautiful building. If the government wants to build a new hospital, it can do it elsewhere, he said. Writers, including Sa Kandasamy, Indira Parthasarathy, Nanjil Nadan, Prabanchan and Manushya Puthiran among others, some of them Sahitya Akademi Award recipients , expressed "shock" and said the library should be allowed to continue at the Kotturpuram site itself, earlier selected by Jayalalithaa to construct a new Assembly complex during her 2001-06 regime. Soon after coming to power in May, Jayalalithaa had announced the conversion of the under-construction secretariat premises into a super-speciality hospital and shifted the secretariat back to the centuries-old Fort St George. The Jayalalithaa government had also stopped the DMK's flagship programme of supplying free colour TVs, and recast an insurance scheme named after Karunanidhi.
