India’s One Nation One Subscription deal enriches publishers and benefits few -Muthu Madhan
by Siddu Huded 05 Dec '24

05 Dec '24

Dear All, I thought this blog post might interest you. Contrary to its intended goals of reducing subscription costs and improving access to scientific literature in India, Muthu Madhan argues the much-hyped One Nation One Subscription policy risks significantly increasing expenditure while delivering little in return. You can read the full blog post here: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2024/12/05/indias-one-nation… Warm regards, Siddu Huded

Sudden demise of Hildrun Kritschmer
by Koteswara Rao Mamidi 03 Dec '24

03 Dec '24

Sad to hear about the sudden death of Hildrun Kretschmer a well known information scientist of our times. COLLNET is a great initiative and I am proud to be associated with it on the advice of my PhD supervisor Prof K S Raghavan. Dr Kretschmer was my external research examiner and her in-depth analysis and report helped me a lot. The LIS fraternity had lost a good library professional and a good human being who appreciates the LIS work done in our country. May her soul rest in peace. Dr M Koteswara Rao Retd.

Friends, Here is an article . url: d41586-024-03842-z Title: Act now to stop millions of research papers from disappearing (In *Nature*): It is important for every publishing author to preserve the digital version of each one of their publications/reports/conference presentations in a global archive/repository such as Zenodo (maintained by CERN, but anyone can use it at no cost). Librarians at Academic and other research performing institutions may assist researchers in this task. With warm regards, Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009
