Dear Friends, NCSI-Net, an informal association comprising of NCSI staff, trainees, and its alumni, cordially invites you to the fourth Dr. T.B. Rajashekar Memorial Lecture. The details of the lecture are given below: Title: " Academic Access in a Globalized world: Scholars without Borders” Speaker: Ram Ramaswamy Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi Date: Friday, 12th June, 2009 Time: 6.00 PM (High Tea will be served at 5.30PM onwards) Venue: NCSI, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore Description About The Talk: In this talk, Ram will discuss the problems of equitable access to information and knowledge, the issues of distribution, and initiatives that address these in both the digital and physical domains. In particular the poor visibility of scholarship in marginalized areas and the inadequate availability of academic material can benefit by harnessing available technologies. A globalized knowledge economy requires that these be employed, adapting them to local conditions, and *Scholars without Borders* has been making efforts in these directions.
