Open-access journal eLife announces ‘preprint first’ publishing model
by Mohan Hr 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

‘Preprint first’ publishing at *eLife* <https://nature.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2c6057c528fdc6f73fa196d9d…> Starting next July, open-access journal *eLife* will review and publish only papers that have already been posted on a preprint server <https://nature.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2c6057c528fdc6f73fa196d9d…>, such as bioRxiv, medRxiv or arXiv. Other journals use a similar publish-then-review system, but *eLife *combines this idea with the conventional journal system by only publishing the manuscripts that pass its review process. The journal also plans to start posting all of its peer-review reports on preprint servers, whether or not a paper is accepted for publication. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03541-5 Interesting Developmt -- hrmohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Second LISA distinguished lecture delivered by Prof.Anil D. Sahasrabudhe Chairman AICTE
by Pandurang Konnur 13 Dec '20

13 Dec '20

Dear Professional Friends, LIS academy profusely thanks all the admirers and supporters of the initiatives of Academy. The Second LISA distinguished lecture was delivered by Prof.Anil D. Sahasrabudhe Chairman AICTE on "Role of Libraries in implementation of NEP-2020 Framework". The lecture was attended by more than 300 Library professionals across India on both WebEx and YouTube platforms. Prof. Sahasrabudhe’s talk addressed many critical issues of the LIS Profession currently, which is at crossroads due to several changing dynamics. NEP's expectations from the libraries in the coming years are well articulated in his talk and set a new direction and benchmark for the library community. His holistic views of reinventing and repositioning libraries in the learning ecosystem have set a road map to academic librarians at various levels. The lecture video has been placed on LIS Academy YouTube Channel at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBUaID8NUjY I am very happy to bring to the notice of this forum that Prof.Sahasrabudhe and Prof.Karisiddappa have admired the role of Librarians in serving the community of information users. During the question hour in response to the suggestions I made on behalf of the Technical Institution Librarians, Prof.Sahasrabudhe has also assured the LIS professionals’ that he will immediately consider to issue necessary directives to all the institutions under AICTE across the country to treat the Librarians as one among Academic Staff and also assured to form a committee to recommend the staff pattern for Technical Institutions in the country. As proposed to the VTU, LIS Academy will submit a proposal through VTU, to the AICTE for necessary implementation. I humbly submit to all the LIS Professionals to support the initiatives of LIS Academy and help us to help the Profession at large. Thank & Regards, P.V.Konnur President, LIS Academy. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Also, he talks on different pertinent issues related to open access, publishing trends, APC issues, some policy initiatives- their possible status, etc. From this conversation, one might trace the important events that gave impetus to open access discussions in India and elsewhere, and the people who inspired Madhan.
