Cheers to Chikkamallaih on his superannuation

Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2008 17:38:16 +0530 From: Sulochan <sulochanp(a)gmail.com> Everybody has to give place to new face and Mr Chikkamallaiah is no exception - he has had good and great time of his quality service rendered tirelessly from that stalwart stone building of IIM, Bangalore. The one-point 'service focused' appraoch of Chikkamallaaih was always amazing and today the IIM-B Library stands tall among the best and finest libraries in the country - a tall model to be emulated. So to use the Kannada tone, today Chikkamallaiah is not small, but really deserves to be called 'Doddamallaiah'. Inserting higher qualifications and feathers of recognitions on his head was not his passion. I understand, his single-point passion to render service first and last to the users was great and this focus might have put less 'need and greed' in him towards acquiring higher or doctorate qualification. (Not that one should not go for higher qualification. All professionals do need that, along the line of quality and dedicated service to the users.) Only once or twice I might have some personal interaction with him - which he even may not remember. As Dr IRN Goudar has aptly pointed out, his services and contributions to the profession, his invisible qualities of supporting, inspiring and shaping up of the many young budding professionals on the corridor and campus of that tall stone buliding of IIM-B is as strong as the very shining stones there. Cheers to Chikkmallaiah - you have done it. P Sulochanan, Bangalore.

UNESCO publishes a book on Open Access to Knowledge in South Asia
by Puna Das 07 Apr '08

UNESCO publishes a book on Open Access to Knowledge in South Asia 07-04-2008 (New Delhi) UNESCO Office in New Delhi has released Open Access to Knowledge and Information: Scholarly Literature and Digital Library Initiatives the South Asian Scenario. This book illustrates South Asian initiatives on open access to information and knowledge. It has its genesis in the recommendations and proceedings of UNESCO-supported international conferences and workshops. Universal access to information and knowledge is a key principle in UNESCO's overall mandate to promote the free flow of information by word and by image and thus to place information and knowledge at the doorsteps of communities. In the information society, free flow of information is a fundamental principle for bridging the knowledge gaps between privileged and under-privileged communities. Open access to information and knowledge is an innovative mode of scholarly communication within the digital environment, which is gaining momentum in developed countries that already have necessary information infrastructure. The emerging economies amongst the developing countries are not far behind in building up necessary information infrastructure, essential for sustainable economic development. These emerging countries, however, have limitations in terms of bridging the digital divide within their societies, due to the co-existence of marginalized and privileged communities. The South Asia sub-region is now in the forefront of the open access movement within developing countries, with India being the most prominent partner in terms of its successful open access and digital library initiatives. The book describes successful digital library and open access initiatives in the South Asia sub-region that are available in the forms of open courseware, open access journals, metadata harvesting services, national-level open access repositories and institutional repositories. It may be considered an authoritative source-book on open access development in this sub-region. The publication is available online in PDF format: http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=26393&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECT…. Source: http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=26397&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECT… Thanking You Anup Kumar Das New Delhi India --------------------------------- Bollywood, fun, friendship, sports and more.
