It will compare their scalability, integration capabilities and efficiency in handling real-time queries within library management systems.

Concluding with a live demonstration of an inhouse library chatbot, the seminar will showcase how these tools can improve library services and operational efficiency. The aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of chatbot technologies and their future potential in creating dynamic, user-friendly library environments. *Date: 03**/10/2024 (Thursday)* *Time: **3:30 p.m.* *Venue: **DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore* *All are cordially invited!*

InfoFire episode on Whither Open Access| Conversation with Dr. Jean-Claude Guedon
by Shalini Urs 27 Sep '24

27 Sep '24

Dear Friends and Colleagues, There have been many discussions in this forum on the topic of Open Access (OA), particularly led by Arunachalam. As someone who has been an active participant in the OA movement and having pioneered the Vidyanidhi Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) back in 2000 — which helped catalyze later ETD and digital library efforts in India — it was an absolute delight and privilege to have an in-depth conversation with my dear friend, Jean-Claude Guédon, the maverick champion of OA, in the latest episode of InfoFire titled "Whither Open Access." Our chat was nostalgic as we reminisced about our time on the NDLTD Steering Committee from 2002 to 2012, while delving into the evolving landscape of academic publishing. We discussed the challenges posed by the commercialization of OA and explored whether the diamond model could offer a sustainable path forward, especially as more institutions rethink how research is disseminated. I wanted to share the article and the videocast with you folks. Please tune in to this episode for a deeper understanding of where we've come from and where we're headed in the future of academic publishing. Here is the link to tune in: https://informationmatters.org/2024/09/whither-open-access-a-fireside-chat-… Hope you enjoy the conversation and gain valuable insights from Dr. Guédon's perspective. Thanks and regards, Shalini
