21 Oct '09

Dear Friends, The first-ever international awareness week for Open Access to research, is celebrated this week from 19th to 23rd Oct 2009 in over 30 countries. ( http://www.openaccessweek.org) Many research institutions in India have supported the Open Access Movement by creating the Open Access Repositories of their research contents open to scientific & research community all over the world in different ways. At Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) the library has taken the responsibility to create and maintain the OA Repository of the Institutes research contents. (http://prints.iiap.res.in) During this “Open Access Week” we have designed and brought out special poster on the importance and benefits of “Open Access” to scholarly contents and displayed it within the campus to create awareness among the faculty & students. We have also taken the efforts to upload more number of research papers into the repository during this week to reach the target of 5000 records as the contents of the repository. I request all my library friends and colleagues to share their experiences in this movement as participation to support the “Open Access Week” in India. with regards, Dr. Christina Birdie Librarian Indian Institute of Astrophysics [IIA] Koramangala, Bangalore - 560 034, India E-mail: chris(a)iiap.res.in Phone : 91 - 80 - 25530672 Extn: 210 Fax : 91 - 80 - 25534043 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Sad demise of Prof. N.M. Malwad
by Mr.Puttabasavaiah <bas＠library.iisc.ernet.in> 21 Oct '09

21 Oct '09

Dear Professional friends, With great sorrow with heavy heart it is informed that one of the stalwarts in the profession, a great teacher, scholar and very humanitarian Librarian Prof. N.. M. Malwad is no more with us. He left for heavenly abode on 15th, October, 2009 at 09:30AM. His sad demise is a great loss to the LIS Profession. As we all know, he had a very distinguished career heading TIFR and IISc Library and a rare distinction of working on INIS system in its initial stages. He was instrumental in setting up of several organizations including INFLIBNET. He was Invited by the UGC to work on a Special Committee formed for preparing a Project Report on INFILBNET and worked as the core member in preparing and finalizing Report on INFLIBNET. He is fondly remembered for his lively and scholarly talks and his human approach to help any body. It is a great personal loss to me and my family. We pray God to rest the departed Soul in Peace. Puttabasavaiah. Deputy Librarian JRD Tata Memorial Library Indian Institute of Science Bangalore - 560 012 INDIA.
