OA petition to EC receives overwhelming support
by Subbiah Arunachalam 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Friends: Here is a posting by Leslie carr of the Southampton University (EPrints team and computer science department) in the American Scientist forum. I thought members of this list will be interested to read it. Subbiah Arunachalam --------------------- The European research and academic community has demonstrated overwhelming support for the European Commission's proposed Open Access Self-Archiving Mandate (A1). A petition, launched jointly on January 14th 2007 by research organisations in a number of European countries, has drawn over 20,000 signatures from Europe and worldwide in support of the EC's proposal. The response includes almost 1,000 institutional signatories from National Academies of Sciences, Universities, Rectors' conferences, Learned Societies, national and private research funding councils, and industries that apply research.) In conjunction with the petition, a separate poll has been conducted of the EC Open Access Mandate's specific target constituency. The administrators of currently active EU FP6 projects were asked to register a vote FOR or AGAINST open access to research results. The result was overwhelming: 85.8% in favour of open access, 14.2% against (based on a healthy 8.22% response rate from 2652 email invitations to vote). Previous research has demonstrated the increased impact that Open Access to Research Results offers the research industry. The petition and the poll demonstrate that Open Access now receives broad-based and popular support as a mainstream requirement of the European research industry. --- Les Carr University of Southampton 14 February 2007 ___________________________________________________________ New Yahoo!

AICTE norms
by gayathri sen 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Dear collegue, Even if the intake is less, the minimum no. of books should be 4000 volumes, because an engineering college library should have minimum facilities of reference for the benifit of the students. You have to add 60 titles per branch X 4 copies. ie if 3 branches in a college, 180 titles X 4 copies. Please note that 180 titles are important but you need not buy 4 copies of each title. Sometimes you may buy 2 copies of one title and ten copies of another title. Yes, in case of increase in intake you have to follow the norms, as per intake. Though nothing is mentioned in the AICTE handbook this is how they look at it Gayathri Sen PESIT --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail beta.
