Open source Journals?
by ACHAR S 16 May '06

16 May '06

Dear Professional Collegues, Can anybody clarify about open source journals? According to me, these are free journals accessible online. But, I found that, in this catagory from a networking association, for a perticular open source journal, to access full article, they were asking user name & password. Unless we pay and get this, we cannot access. Delnet as this Directory of open source journals. Here I found this problem. I am in confusion. Pl clarify.

Management and Biotechnology Journals
by Mailing List Manager 16 May '06

16 May '06

Date: 16 May 2006 05:29:01 -0000 From: Sheetal Tank <sheetal_tank(a)rediffmail.com> I am the librarian of Atmiya Institute of Technology and Science, Rajkot which is affiliated to Saurashtra University and presently undergoing the accredition process for its courses. We are about to start with the department of Management and Biotechnology engineering. As per the norms of AICTE we are supposed to subscribe to 30 Journals in Management and approx 12 journals in Biotechnology engineering. I had downloaded the list of journals subscribed by IIM A and also other management institutes but unfortunately i was not given the entire details of the cost of subscription. i had asked for the Title of the Journal/ Magazine and its cost of subscription. As many of them are buying these journals under consortia. thus they do not want to disclose the price. And in the field of Biotechnology it is very difficult to decide as there are no much sources of information available for me. I tried searching on the Net. But due to the time constraint I am not able to get a good list which is economic as well as qualitative. Thus if any body can provide me a list for these two fields I will be able to do justice for the institute. Regards, Sheetal D. Tank Librarian
