The need for OA emphasised
by Subbiah Arunachalam 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

Friends: Please look up http://chnm.gmu.edu/resources/essays/essay.php?id=2 for an article by Prof. Roy Rosenzweig of George mason University. Friends in C3Net, my postings on OA may look a bit far from our day-to-day work and interests, but OA is very important for developing countries. And we need to play a role in OA advocacy, as we at MSSRF point out often the knowledge centres in our villages facilitate two-way communication between experts and scientists on the one hand and farmers and the rural poor on the other. Knowledge flows both ways. The rural poor have indigenous knowledge. Besides, the scientists in the labs should be sensitised to the real needs of the poor so they can reorient their research to be relevant to the needs of the poor. And scientists themselves should keep abreast of developments worldwide and that is where OA becomes tremendously important.

A new Firefox browser for scholars on the anvil
by Subbiah Arunachalam 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

>From Peter Suber's blog: More on Firefox Scholar Jeffrey Young, Browser-Based Software Will Help Scholars Organize Information Found Online, Researchers Say, Chronicle of Higher Education, December 6, 2005 (accessible only to subscribers). Excerpt: The Web browser has become an essential tool for many academics, a versatile window into books, journal articles, blogs, and other research materials. Why not create a customized browser with professors' needs in mind? That is the logic behind Firefox Scholar, a software package under development by researchers at George Mason University that will help users organize and cite materials they have found online. The open-source software, which developers plan to release free sometime next year, will plug into the popular Firefox browser, which is also open source. "A good way of thinking about it is incredibly smart bookmarking," says Daniel J. Cohen, an assistant professor of history at George Mason who is working on the project. "You're not just bookmarking the page, but you're automatically [capturing] author, title, all that info that scholars want to save."...For the browser-based software to work fully, however, digital archives must format their books and articles in a way that lets it sort out where elements like title, author, and other bibliographic information reside. Some digital collections already do that, and others could make minor adjustments to comply, says Mr. Cohen. Roy Rosenzweig, a professor of history and new media at the university, says the new browser would also allow researchers to automatically save a copy of an online article or Web page and make annotations on those saved pages. That's better than a shoebox full of notecards and photocopied articles, says Mr. Rosenzweig....A beta version of the software is expected by summer or later next year through the center's Web site.

Identify quotation on librarianship?
by MichaelMay.10726764＠bloglines.com 07 Dec '05

07 Dec '05

Dear colleagues, A U.S. researcher is trying to identify the following quotation on librarianship: "In my writings, which largely deal with my profession, I have tried to broaden the scholarly dimensions of librarianship and to show the contributions that science can make to the field without losing its humanistic basis." I suspect this might be S.R. Ranganathan, but I cannot confirm. Is anyone familiar with this quote? Thank you very much. Michael May Dubuque, Iowa, US
