Calling for Book Chapters - Need OA Text Books
by Ishwar Goudar 17 Oct '15

17 Oct '15

Dear Professionals, We keep seeing such kind of postings through Lis-forum and other channels calling for Book Chapters. While I don't wish to make any comment about this sort efforts by individuals making call for book chapters for their own reason, I definitely urge LIS teachers and professionals at national/institutional/departmental level to take an initiative to publish OA texts books with the help of knowledgeable/experts in various subjects. While there could be editorial teams, authors can get credit for individual chapters. There should be revisions / new edtions and new books time to time depending upon new developments. We should also request other discipline authors like Computer Science, Statistics, Management, etc to contribute chapters useful for LIS syllabus depending upon the need. This sort of efforts could be supported by UGC. The OA books could be hosted on a server either maintained by some agency or a cloud supported by UGC and the content should be searchable and full text accessible in line with those of commercial publishers. The main reason for appeal is mainly due to the fact that not many E-Books useful for LIS are available even from commercial publishers. Even if there are, most of them are Conference Proceedings and not the Text Books. Few publishers like McGraw Hill and Pearson do make available text books, but their licensing conditions are beyond purchasing power of even some rich universities. INFLIBNET has already started e-patashala, a very good initiative covering all subjects. Our attempts should be complementary/supplimentary to INFLIBNET's initiative. We LIS personnels are leaders for digitisation, OA,and DL initiatives. If we put our efforts, definitely we can come out with some way of achieving this goal. We can even think of using electronic stitching of useful chapters (not just giving link) available in various OA channels including e-patashala, for compiling them in the form of Text Books but after getting appropriate permission from concerned. These Text Books should be listed and recommended in the Syllabi. These are my personal views, teachers and practiceners can give more thoughts suggest steps to be taken, not just for LIS but for all disciplines useful for UG and PG level academic activities.

LIS Student’s interaction with Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam at his residence on 15.3.2011.
by Dr. Chennupati K. Ramaiah 17 Oct '15

17 Oct '15

Dear LIS Forum Moderator, Could you please post to LIS forum the brief interaction of MLIS students of Pondicherry University with Dr Kalama both text and video clips URLs uploaded on both university website and YouTube. *If it is too long, it can be sent in two parts. First part is Oath alone and second part is questions and answers. * Thanks for communicating to others through this forum, Prof. CK Ramaiah *LIS Student’s interaction with Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam at his residence on 15.3.2011.* The students of MLIS, Department of Library and Information Science (DLIS) of Pondicherry University, both I and II years accompanied by Prof. CK Ramaiah and Dr Singson had a golden opportunity of meeting and interacting with Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam at his residence in New Delhi on 15.3.2011. It was one of the most aspiring moments for these students to meet Dr. Kalam at his residence. This interaction is recorded and posted on YouTube and Pondicherry University websites at the following URLs: 1. Pondicherry University MLIS Students Interaction with Dr APJ Abdul Kalam New Delhi on 15 03 2011 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62kCVQz5pgw 2. Also seen through YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62kCVQz5pgw After hearing from all of them, he suggested the necessity for setting up a HOME LIBRARY in every one’s house and advised to read one hour every day along with the family members. Though the oath is prepared for our group but it is applicable to each family not only in India but also the entire world. So, all the students promised him that they will set up the *home library* at their homes and develop life-long reading habit among their family members. Dr. Kalam’s oath to Indian youth is as follows: *1. **Today onwards, I will start a home library with 20 books and out of which ten books will be children books. * *2. **My daughter and son will enlarge this home library with 200 books.* *3. **My grand children will lead a great home library to 2000 books.* *4. **I consider our library is lifelong treasure and precious property of our family.* *5. **We will spend at-least one hour at home library to study along with our family members. * *He adorned the role of a teacher and invited the students to ask questions about matters of their concern. The questions asked by the students and answers given by the President are given below: * *Q: Sir, how to get black money and use it for the development of the Country. On this regard, what is your advice?* *Answer:* Don’t worry about the money. All of you should try to excel in education and get a good job. If money comes it is good but knowledge is more useful. So, concentrate in your studies and excel in education. Don’t get away with funny problems. *Q: Sir, I want to become a Lecturer. I have a dream to get respected by all the students of different mindsets. So how can that be achieved?* *Answer:* I personally believe that you must have a role model. The role model either in teaching or teachers you would have come across in high school level, private school level and in college level, so you have to concentrate in a unique person, to realize how worth a teacher is to you. You’re going to have two types of knowledge: one is to appreciate his/her knowledge, the teacher radiates his knowledge. The other is s/he radiates the purity of life. So you look for such a role model if otherwise nobody is available books will help you. Good books will talk about great teachers. *Q: Sir, if God comes in front of you and asks you, my child I want to take you from earth to heaven, then what is your answer? Would you request the God to give some more time to complete the goals set by you as this country to transform as developed country?* *Answer:* My feeling is such a thing will not happen. If it happens, then God knows what I need, after all he is God. He is supposed to know what his children dream. So if the dream is good, he will say you continue with the dream and complete it. Sometimes he says the dream is already met with you so you come with me. So you have to go. *Q: There are many welfare schemes in India, due to aggressive political personal gains there is not much development in the country. Sir, what is your advice to improve the present situation in the country without political intervention?* *Answer:* We are spending about hundreds of crores for the welfare throughout the country but this amount is directed in different forms. Government has accepted what is called “PURA”- Providing Urban Amenities in the Rural India. It means you cluster 20-30 villages with a huge population of 20,000 people and give them physical connectivity, electronic connectivity, knowledge connectivity, so that economic connectivity will come. Hence money will be pumped in the PURA. Government has also started nine states in the PURA system. Throughout the country we need over 7000 PURAs for the overall development. *Q: Sir, you have always been an inspiring role model particularly to youngsters on the part of education. So, what are the steps that we should follow to become better citizens of this country?* *Answer:* Since you are studying you should excel in education. Don’t get into politics and don’t compromise anything for education because if you get 90 % mark, you get one type of profession. If you get 60 % mark you get another type of job, if you fail then another type of job. So if you excel in education you will excel in your profession too. If you get time, on Saturday and Sunday go 10 km away from Puducherry and catch hold of five people who cannot read or write and teach them and it is simple, you don’t need money. Then in your home or college campus, plant five trees and for that also you don’t need money. Then you could go to a good hospital. Most people are taken care by their friends and relatives. There are some five to ten beds which nobody takes care of. Go and meet those people with some fruits and flowers. They will be very happy and moreover you also will feel very happy. The evening will be very special. All these three things you can do on Saturdays and Sundays. *Q: Sir, what is the permanent solution to overcome terrorism and poverty in the country. As students what is our role to overcome this? What is your suggestion for global warming?* *Answer:* If poverty started decreasing, there is little scope for terrorism. A major problem to global warming is due to millions of car drives. It generates 30 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide throughout the world. If we purchase 80 billion dollars of oil from various countries, we are also purchasing that much carbon dioxide, so we have to go out of that. We get solar power, wind power, nuclear power and hydro power. We have to get rid of fossil fuels. These are the problems that generate carbon dioxide. Second, every tree absorbs about 20 kilogram of carbon dioxide and lets out about 20 kilogram of oxygen. It’s a beautiful environmental help. All of you should start a mission of million trees for million people. Each one should plant at least one. *Q: Sir, India is not paying much attention to global warming?* *Answer:* India now started a National Solar Power Program. It is supposed to generate 30,000 mega watt power similar to nuclear power by 2013. *Q: Sir, you have prepared a Mission Plan 2020 for this country. The country progressed considerably. What is your advice to the University students in terms of contribution to achieve this mission?* *Answer:* India 2020 is not my mission but it is India’s mission. So to achieve this, while studying you should excel in education means you are helping India 2020. If you excel in your education, you can become a good Librarian, good Doctors and good Politicians. Likewise, if you got time, the three things I told you are also helping India. Planting trees you are helping the environment. Try to educate those in need of. Each student suppose you take five people, teach them to read and write. Within ten years, literacy rate will be hundred percent. The third thing is going to a hospital and giving them happiness. *Q: Religion is the path to reach God. I am practicing Christianity. Through books I understand that you respect all religious equally from your childhood days onwards. Because of narrow thinking, there are lot of conflicts between religions which ultimately leads to terrorism. Sir, my question to you is - to achieve equal respect towards each religion, what should the government do to the youth in this country? In what way religious organizations or missionaries should help the Indian youth to achieve this?* *Answer:* First and foremost, every schools and college should introduce Moral Science course. One hour every day, respectable teacher should present a good life of a human being who connect religions and who work for others like Saint Augustine, Kalifa Mohammed, Lord Buddha, etc. Such type of people should be presented so as to realize that good human beings connect people. Only small people disconnect people. Great ones connect people. *Q: Every day you meet so many students, attending several functions and activities directly related to the progress of youth and country at large. How are you able to manage your time?* *Answer:* Recently, I had a program at Wayanad in Kerala at 6.30 pm in the evening. I have to go to Calicut and somehow missed my Calicut flight at Delhi. So, I went up to Bangalore by air and drove by car to Calicut. When I reached there at 1 ‘0’ clock in the morning, nearly 5,000 people were waiting for me including children, parents and teachers. I was astonished to see them. So, time is always available, only thing is you have to make up your mind what you have done with the time? *Q: Sir, what’s your feeling when you visited Bunglon village in Manipur? What’s your feeling about those people?* *Answer:* When I went to Manipur I visited the village. The teacher there, the great teacher built the whole school. He has the one man show. It’s a high school and he is the leader. The whole area loves him. People of this village love him because of his attitude and the students have come to a high position. I am happy to see that. ************************************************* *Dr. Chennupati K.

Status of OA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

The status of OA today (by Stephen Pinfield). .... .... From my investigations, a set of propositions were developed based on the OA discourse which attempt to summarise the current ‘state-of-the-art’ of OA. There are 18 of them. Admittedly, 18 is not a very attractive number – 10 or 12 would have been neater! But the number of issues that emerged from analysis of the OA discourse seems to reflect the current complexity of the situation and could not easily be reduced. So, here are the 18 propositions. The first proposition (1) is that the Green-Gold debate continues to underlie much of the discussion on OA and there remains uncertainty and disagreement about the relationship between them. There are vociferous advocates of either one or the other, although some have argued for there being complementarity rather than competition between the two. Greater clarity around this debate is not likely to emerge in the very near future, although (2) the evidence base enabling a better understanding of OA *is* growing (but still needs to be further developed). A number of different studies have been conducted over the last five years which give us a much clearer idea of the levels of OA, and (3) the available evidence does suggest that open access is now entering the mainstream of scholarly communication. A recent report, for example, suggests that 34% of the literature globally is OA within 24 months of publication (43% for the UK). Despite the growing importance of OA, (4) there undoubtedly continues to be significant levels of disinterest, suspicion and scepticism about open access amongst researchers, particularly in relation to quality. There is considerable inertia built into the existing system with reputation building (the currency of academic research) still clearly based on traditional approaches to scholarly communication (including established journal brands, impact factors etc). The pattern of adoption of OA is, however, not evenly spread across disciplines, with (5) disciplinary differences an important factor in influencing the shape of OA take-up and likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. Medical and Life Sciences researchers have tended to adopt Gold OA more than most, for example, and there seems to be particular challenges associated with OA take-up in the Humanities. Open access is not, however, simply developing in the academic community organically, (6) so-called ‘mandates’ are proving to be essential for encouraging adoption of OA. The number of such policies has grown over the last five years with the Juliet service now citing 148 different mandates for research funders worldwide requiring researchers to make the outputs OA. However, (7) there remain important country-specific differences in policies and adoption patterns. The UK’s emphasis to date on Gold OA adoption, for example, sets it apart from most other European countries. One important characteristic of policy discussions in the last five years is that there appears to have been (8) an intensified focus on the question of the ‘degree of openness’ for content. The controversy about where content should be positioned on the ‘gratis-libre’ spectrum (free to read – free to read *and*reuse) remains important. Much of this debate is focused on licenses, particularly the merits of the Creative Commons licence, CC-BY, which allows unrestricted reuse, including for commercial exploitation. One of the key features of the OA landscape since the emergence of the OA movement has been repositories, and (9) whilst there is now a large-scale global network of OA repositories, one noticeable feature of the OA discourse is that populating and sustaining repositories remain challenging issues. This applies to subject-based as well as institutional repositories. One increasingly apparent aspect of this challenge is that (10) publishers’ (increasingly restrictive) conditions on depositing outputs in repositories, including embargoes, have the potential to impede growth of Green OA. There are increasing numbers of constraints on when, where and in what form articles can be deposited in repositories, often (controversially) specifically limiting the effectiveness of mandates. Whilst there is considerable uncertainty about the precise nature of the future of Green, there are also uncertainties about Gold OA. There are (11) increasing amounts of experimentation, variation and complexity in the Gold OA market, particularly around business models. The market for paid-for Gold (normally through payment of APCs) is growing and there is evidence that (12) subscription publishers are capturing a significant proportion of the growing Gold OA market, with little sign of moving to flip their business models to fully-OA delivery, choosing to remain rather with hybrid models which also maintain an income stream from subscriptions as well as APCs . One of the key questions associated with OA at the moment is what might prompt search large-scale flipping to take place? This is an important question since at the moment (13) it seems that higher education institutions are now facing a potentially lengthy transition process in making OA work on the ground with perceived costly ‘double dipping’ and constraining embargoes from publishers, along with demanding mandates from funders, looming large. To date, (14) libraries have often led policy, technical and administrative developments in institutions and have carried out advocacy to other institutional stakeholders but it is becoming clear that the OA agenda needs to be embedded more widely in institutions if it is to be fully mainstreamed. This is particularly the case since (15) open agendas are now manifesting themselves in a variety of forms institutions. Not just open access to research publications but also open data, open educational resources and other ‘opens’ which arguably need a more coordinated strategic approach institution wide. Open access can certainly fit in with institutional agendas including in particular impact (academic and societal) agendas. Impact (16) is a central issue but new ways of defining and measuring impact becoming more important many of these driven by greater openness. Linked to this, (17) the realisation of a “network-enabled” OA literature (a potential particularly associated with greater openness) whilst still in its infancy has transformative potential in terms of how researchers access and use research outputs. This in itself has significant future implications for the whole structure of scholarly communication with (18) the potential for ‘formal’ scholarly communication becoming a more open interactive ‘flow’ now becoming recognised but without clear scalable solutions yet having emerged. There is clearly enormous potential here, but there are also major challenges. Whilst OA has come a long way in the last five years, there is clearly a lot still to do in making open access work. *The blogpost is based on the following journal article: Pinfield, S. (2015).
