>From the following paper, I could infer that there are six barriers to Open Access Repositories. [Gerard van Westrienen and Clifford A. Lynch (2005). Academic Institutional Repositories: Deployment Status in 13 Nations as of Mid 2005, D-Lib Magazine, 11(9), http://www.dlib.org/dlib/september05/westrienen/09westrienen.html ] These are: ONE--Confusion, Uncertainty and Fear on Copyright Issues. TWO--Doubts regarding Who and How the deposited material would be used. THREE--Doubts on getting proper attribution, impact factors and scholarly credit. FOUR--Myth of low quality material in institutional repositories. FIVE--Unfriendly submission procedures SIX--lack of mandatory provisions in the policies of institutions or funding organizations to deposit the outcome of academic research. We should strive to overcome these barriers, but How!!? --Sukhdev Singh,NIC. http://openmed.nic.in [Gerard van Westrienen and Clifford A. Lynch (2005).

Dear All, Here is an Excerpt with Prof. Shalini with Deccan Herald on the occasion of Foundation laying stone for I-SIM. ********************************************************** Information boom Shankar Bennur International School of Information Management is a strategy and a model to confront the challenges of crossing borders in terms of disciplines, institutional frameworks, sectors, and geo-spaces. Mysore will soon have a new generation centre called ‘International School of Information Management’ (I-SIM). This endeavour and initiative of University of Mysore is perhaps first of its kind in the country and also in Asia. Establishment of I-SIM and joining the International Consortium of I–Schools, could be described as a trail blazing effort of the University of Mysore. The University of Mysore is laying the foundation for the establishment of I-SIM in collaboration with International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-B), Bangalore and School of Information Sciences, University of Pittsburgh and many other organisations including industry. http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/sep152005/dheducation1628222005914… ********************************************************** Regards ~Sreeharsha

Dear fellow professionals Prof Isaac was one of the most senior and revered professionals in the country. he is being respected for his contribution. He is one of the personalities, who gave continuous support to the younger generation and his attitude is friendly to every one immaterial what the age may be. all the professionals feel sorry for his sad demise. on behalf of my self and all the professionals, i pray God almighty to provide peace to the departed soul. I request some one near to his place may convey the condolenses to the bereaved family laxman rao Sadasivan KP > wrote: Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2005 06:18:20 -0700 (PDT) From: Sadasivan KP <kps31147(a)yahoo.com> To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Subject: [LIS-Forum] PROF. K.A. ISAAC PASSED AWAY Dear Friends / LIS Professionals, I am reporting with deep sorrow, the sad demise of Professor K.A. Isaac , on 12th Sep. 2005 at night ! Professor Isaac was the former University Librarian & Head of the Dept. of Library & Information Science, University of Kerala. He was the recipient of the Fellowship of the Raja Rammohun Roy Library Foundation. Prof. Isaac had held several important assignments, which included, Senate Member and Dean of Faculty of Arts of the University of Kerala, Governing Body Member of INSDOC, Special Officer (Library) of the M.G. University, UGC Professor, Chairman / Member of several Commissions & Committees, etc. Prof. Isaac, an ardent disciple of Dr. S.R. Ranganathan, was responsible for initiating and developing the professional Library Science Education in Kerala through the DLIS of the University of Kerala, which he spearheaded for two-and-a-half decades since its inception. He had significantly contributed to the Public Library Movement and the Special Library development in the State too. Better known as the 'Father of Professional Librarianship in Kerala' and the 'Gentleman Librarian of India' , he was a beacon for LIS professionals - both young and old. His hundreds of disciples now stretch across the world, carrying out their professional jobs with mission mode. He had authored a number of well-known books including the titles 'Library Legislation' , ' Literature Search' and several Papers and Reports. Prof. Isaac had been the Patron of the Kerala Library Association too. The blend of his highly intellectual personality and refined behaviour made him a respected friend to limitless people cutting across all professions .That was the secret of his success too, for effectively disseminating the message of our profession to a wider domain - something very rare during these days! His demise is a great loss to the education sector in general and to the LIS domain, in particular! He is survived by his wife Chechamma and sons Madhu (Advocate, Trivandrum) and Balu (Professor, IIT Bombay) . Cremation : on 14.09.2005 (Wednesday) at 10.30 am at Pattoor Orthodox Cemetery, Trivandrum.
