UNESCO released its new publication "Freedom of connection, freedom of expression: the changing legal and regulatory ecology shaping the Internet"
by Puna Das 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

"Freedom of connection, freedom of expression: the changing legal and regulatory ecology shaping the Internet" by William H. Dutton; Anna Dopatka; Ginette Law; and Victoria Nash UNESCO, 2011. ISBN: 978-92-3-104188-4 This report provides a new perspective on the social and political dynamics behind the threats to expression. It develops a conceptual framework on the 'ecology of freedom of expression' for discussing the broad context of policy and practice that should be taken into consideration in discussions of this issue. Over the first decade of the 21st century, the Internet and its convergence with mobile communications has enabled greater access to information and communication resources. In 2010, nearly 2 billion people worldwide – over one quarter of the world's population – use the Internet. However, during the same period, defenders of digital rights have raised growing concerns over how legal and regulatory trends might be constraining online freedom of expression. Anecdotal accounts of the arrests of bloggers, the filtering of content and the disconnection of users have sparked these concerns. However, they are reinforced by more systematic studies that provide empirical evidence of encroachments on freedom of expression, such as through the increased use of content filtering.

Request for Article: Is it fair?
by Gireesh Kumar T K 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

Dear Sir/Madam/Professional friends This has reference to some of the recently published posts in LISFORUM with a topic "Request for Article", for their requirement of full text journal articles. In most of the requirements it is found that the bibliographic details given by the requester is deficient to find out even the source of the article and moreover it is a time-consuming process. And also seen that some of our professional friends are not even mentioned the title of the journal or year of publication/vol.No/Issues No/ number of pages etc etc. Is it a good practice to ask a person to do complete search and find out the details and then download the article even if we desire to help our friends? In my personal view, it would be very easy and time saving to find out the softcopy (fulltext) of the article (since we need to find out whether we have the full text access or not) if the requester could give the full text link of the source article. or the URL which directs to the publishers platform.

Information courses in new central universities
by atanu 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

Under the current plan period, central government intended to set up 30 central universities, out of which 15 are in various stages of operation for the 2010-11 session. It has been noted only a small fraction of these universities have opened any information-related courses/ curricula. Historically, central universities have not included information as a subject in their academics. Out of these newly established set-ups, only Central university of Himachal Pradesh appears to have included this subject in their academics. In view of this, the industry associations and professional bodies are kindly requested to submit their representations before the relevant regulatory bodies, state and central ministries and institutes themselves with a view to improve this situation. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
