stock verification
by gayathri sen 05 Jun '06

Dear friend, We have around 42,000 plus books and we follow the following steps which seems to be quite efficient. Most of the collection is bar coded. We make 3 groups of 3 persons each. To speed up the process each group starts scanning the barcodes at the same time. We have 3 laser scanners. The acc. No. of books without the bar codes are entered manually into the system. You can use the extension wires to take the systems and scanners near the shelf itself to save time. All the entries from all three systems are compiled in a single system for the physical presence of the books in the library and submitted to your library management software (if you have that) stock verification module for updating in your system. Report submitted to the management or authorities concerned. You can hire or borrow more scanners if you want to speed up and have more groups. The top gun with memory which is available for stock checking costs around Rs.30,000, but only one person can work at a given time ( that is if you have only one gadget). This takes more time. Probably you can hire more no.s if available and if you want to use this. Regards, Gayathri Sen PESIT __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Congratulation - NIT - Rourkela for mandating OA Archiving
by Sukhdev Singh 05 Jun '06

05 Jun '06

I learn from Prof. Arunachalam's email that National Institute of Technology (NIT), Rourkela adopted an OA mandate. The policy adopted by NIT as summarised in ROARMAP is - "All research papers by faculty and students, MTech (Research) and Ph. D. thesis is to be self-archived in Dspace@nitr or it should be submitted to the librarian for archiving, so that others interested may benefit by referring to these documents. The Administration may use this archive for assessment of faculty performance when needed." All credit should go to the Librarian ( I don't know who -- sorry!! ). Others should fellow the example. CONGRATULATIONS!! NIT and the LIBRARIAN!! --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. http://openmed.nic.in

New small molecules database on open access
by arun＠mssrf.res.in 05 Jun '06

05 Jun '06

>From Peter Suber's blog "Open Access News" New OA database on small molecules ChemBank is a new OA database from the Broad Institute's Chemical Biology Program (at Harvard University) and funded by the U.S. National Cancer Institute's Initiative for Chemical Genetics (ICG). (Thanks to ResourceShelf.) From the site: This knowledge environment includes freely available data derived from small molecules and small-molecule screens, and resources for studying the data so that biological and medical insights can be gained.... Currently, ChemBank stores information on hundreds of thousands of small molecules and hundreds of biomedically relevant assays that have been performed at the ICG in collaborations involving biomedical researchers worldwide. These scientists have agreed to perform their experiments in an open data-sharing environment (data-sharing agreement). The goals of ChemBank are to provide life scientists unfettered access to biomedically relevant data and tools heretofore available almost exclusively in the private sector. We intend for ChemBank to be a planning and discovery tool for chemists, biologists, and drug hunters anywhere, with the only necessities being a computer, access to the Internet, and a desire to extract knowledge from public experiments whose greatest value is likely to reside in their collective sum.

NIT-R mandates OA for all its papers and theses!
by Subbiah Arunachalam 03 Jun '06

03 Jun '06

>From SPARC Open Access Newsletter, issue #98[http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/newsletter/06-02-06.htm] * Institutional OA policies adopted in two countries. On May 15, India's National Institute of Technology (NIT) in Rourkela adopted an OA mandate. According to the policy summary in ROARMAP, "All research papers by faculty and students, MTech (Research) and Ph. D. thesis is to be self-archived in Dspace@nitr or it should be submitted to the librarian for archiving, so that others interested may benefit by referring to these documents. The Administration may use this archive for assessment of faculty performance when needed." NIT's is the sixth worldwide university-level OA mandate and the first from India. For the other five, see the institutions with asterisks by their names in ROARMAP. India's National Institute of Technology http://www.nitrkl.ac.in/ http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2006_05_07_fosblogarchive.html#114752693… ROARMAP http://www.eprints.org/openaccess/policysignup/ ----- Congratulations to the Director of NIT-R and Mr Muthu Madhan, Librarian, NIT-R, for their bold vision. But when will the rest of India's higher educational institutions and research laboratories set up institutional archives and mandate OA for all their research publications? After all, most of India's researchers - be they faculty or students in universities or scientists in laboratories - are supported by public funds. It is only fair that publicly-funded research is made freely available to other researchers and students of science. Here are some more excerpts from Peter Suber's SPARC Open Access Newsletter No.98: Here are the top stories from May: * German Parliament considers an OA bill. * National OA policies emerging in four other countries. * Institutional OA policies adopted in two countries. * OA repositories pop up at institutions in three countries. * Gunther Eysenbach confirms the OA impact advantage. * German Parliament considers an OA bill. The Upper House of Germany's Parliament (Bundesrat) is considering a bill to permit author self-archiving of journal articles six months after publication regardless of the terms in a copyright transfer agreement the author might have signed. Here's an English-language summary of the bill by Gerd Hansen, an OA advocate, doctoral candidate at the Max-Planck-Institute for Intellectual Property Law in Munich, and the author or at least the inspiration for the new bill. From his email: The provision that is currently being discussed is based on the wording I have proposed in an article on "Access to scientific information" published in GRUR Int. 2005, 378, p. 17 (until this very moment only in German). The Bundesrat now asked for a provision (p. 7) that would support OA in particular by giving authors the right to make their articles available online, even if they have granted exclusive rights to the publisher, if the following requirements are met: --only after expiration of 6-months since first publication --research predominantly based on public (tax payer) money --only publications in periodicals --non-commercial purpose of post-print-publication --author is obliged to use his final version of the article The bill permits author-initiated OA to publicly-funded research in Germany, though without mandating it. A mandate would be stronger, of course. But even many mandates (proposed or adopted) make vague or counterproductive exceptions for cases in which authors transfer copyright to publishers and publishers dislike the funder's OA policy. The German bill elegantly resolves doubts about permission and makes publisher dissent irrelevant. Moreover, Germany already has something of a mandate. The OA policy of Germany's DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft), the country's primary public funding agency, tells grantees that they should deposit their DFG-funded research in OA repositories. The German OA bill is unusual for seeking to facilitate OA by amending copyright law, a strategy tried in the US with the Sabo Bill (June 2003) and since abandoned. In a country more likely to amend copyright law in the wrong direction than the right direction, like the US, this is a very difficult and uncertain strategy. But where it can succeed, it can be direct, effective, and durable. Is Germany such a country? We'll soon see. ............. * National OA policies emerging in four other countries. Four other countries either adopted or began considering national OA policies --all in May. Together with the German OA bill these are signs of growing momentum not only toward OA, but toward national commitments to OA. The Australian Research Council is considering a national OA policy. In his May 26 submission, Arthur Sale recommended that the ARC mandate OA for ARC-funded research. His proposal would mandate deposit of a postprint immediately upon acceptance for publication and immediate OA for the metadata. For the full-text article he recommends "delayed access, restricted access or closed access...depending on [the author's] agreement with the relevant journal." http://eprints.comp.utas.edu.au:81/archive/00000277/ http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2006_05_21_fosblogarchive.html#114873581… On May 23, the Finnish Council of University Rectors launched a national OA initiative "(1) to give aid to universities and research institutes in setting up institutional repositories; (2) to inform researchers about how open access is a part of the research process; and (3) to provide an easy-to-use platform for the open access journals of Finnish learned societies."
