HARVARD LIBRARIAN ROBERT DARNTON TO SPEAK ON THE FUTURE OF THE BOOK
by Ragaavendra R 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

HARVARD LIBRARIAN ROBERT DARNTON TO SPEAK ON THE FUTURE OF THE BOOK Robert Darnton, director of the Harvard University Library, will speak on "Books, Libraries, and the Digital Future" on Wednesday, April 1, 3:30 p.m. in the Lindsay Young Auditorium of the John C. Hodges Library. "Despite a lot of loose talk about the death of the book and the obsolescence of libraries, books and libraries are more important than ever in the current digital environment," Darnton has argued, "and their importance will increase as we design the digital future-if only we can get it right." Darnton has spoken and written extensively on the history and future of books, pointing out the need to find an equilibrium between democratization and commercialization in the book trade. He is a scholar of 18th-century France, book history, and cultural history in general. Darnton was educated at Harvard University (A.B., 1960) and Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. After a brief stint as a reporter for The New York Times, he became a junior fellow in the Society of Fellows at Harvard. He taught at Princeton from 1968 until 2007, when he became Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and Director of the University Library at Harvard. He has been a visiting professor or fellow at many universities and institutes for advanced study, and his outside activities include service as a trustee of the New York Public Library and the Oxford University Press (USA) and terms as president of the American Historical Association and the International Society of Eighteenth-Century Studies. Among his honors are a MacArthur Prize Fellowship, a National Book Critics Circle Award, election to the French Legion of Honor, the National Humanities Medal conferred by President Obama in February 2012, and the Del Duca World Prize in the Humanities awarded by the Institut de France in 2013. Darnton's talk is sponsored by the UT Humanities Center with support from the Haines-Morris Endowment, Ready for the World, the John C. Hodges Humanities Endowment, and the Office of Research and Engagement.

Massive win for free speech online: India's Supreme Court strikes down #Sec66A
by Mohan Hr 24 Mar '15

Massive win for free speech online: India's Supreme Court strikes down #Sec66A Governments come and go, but the law persists: SC said. Reported at : The News Minute| March 24, 2015 | 10.45 pm IST Striking down any attempt at curbing the freedom of expression online, the Supreme Court today ruled that Section 66A of the IT Act is "unconstitutional". In a strongly-worded judgment, the court said that the provision could not be saved if even if the government says it would not abuse the law Medianama reported. The landmark judgment will have wide-ranging effects on the freedom of speech in India, as the Supreme Court said that Section 66A of the IT Act was inherently "unconstitutional" as it was vague. The government had argued that the provision could not be struck down just because the definition of what constituted "grossly offensive" content was ambiguous. The Times of Indiareported that Additional Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta said: "There are institutions which are working in other media whether it is paper, television or cinema. There is an institutional approach and there are checks like pre-censorship for TV and films. But in internet there is individual approach and there is no checks and balances or license."\ To read the full story pl. visit http://www.thenewsminute.com/news_sections/3358 With regards HR Mohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

OA at USDA

OA Policy at USDA Meanwhile, Over At The Department Of Agriculture Posted on March 20, 2015 <https://pascophronesis.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/meanwhile-over-at-the-depar…> by David Bruggeman <https://pascophronesis.wordpress.com/author/dbruggeman/> I missed the announcement when the Agriculture Department (USDA) released its open access policy <http://www.usda.gov/documents/USDA-Public-Access-Implementation-Plan.pdf> for research results and digital data. I chalk it up to the tunnel vision of many science policy analysts – The Agriculture Department is often an afterthought. But starting January 1, 2016, USDA grantees cannot make public access an afterthought. The Department’s policy takes advantage of existing information infrastructure for its public access repository system. Research articles funded by the Department will have to be submitted to this repository within 12 months of publication. USDA has developed a research search engine, PubAg <http://pubag.nal.usda.gov/pubag/home.xhtml>, that already contains research articles published by USDA scientists. The Department is still working through how it will address digital scientific data. This portion of the current plan describes how the agency will manage and organize the development of this policy, with specific requirements to come later. Three repository options are currently under consideration (page 16) – a USDA data repository for all federally supported research data; contribution to a single federal wide data repository; and encouragement of a highly interoperable federal, academic, private hybrid system. Most agencies’ plans that I have read are, if the address accessing research data sets, approach a hybrid approach, linking to research data sets, but not necessarily storing them within the agency. It’s too early to tell what choice will be made, but the USDA might have sufficient research history and resources to develop its own data repository. We should find out sometime in 2016. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
