Discussion on Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes required by Librarians for Open Access
by Mailing List Admin 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 10:52:59 +0530 From: Sridhar Gutam <gutam2000(a)gmail.com> I am currently assisting the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA) in developing Curriculum and Self-Directed Learning (SDL) Tool for Open Access for researchers and library and information professionals as a project of UNESCO. The UNESCO adopted Open Access strategy in 2011, and with effect from 1 July 2013 it has become fully Open Access. Capacity building to promote Open Access is one of the important strands of the UNESCO strategy. The UNESCO Open Access Forum 2011 also recommended training of young researchers and library professionals on Open Access. As a first step, we would like to seek help of experts though a discussion on this platform to identify Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes needed for Open Access by Library and Information Professionals and Researchers. So, we will have two strands of discussion: One for Librarians and the other for Researchers. This week we start with training needs for Librarians� Librarians play a significant role in providing access to peer reviewed information published in journals and help manage local repositories. Sometime back we did a Delphi study with select experts, which revealed the following as key areas for the librarians to study: Module 1: Foundations 1. Introduction to Open Access: Definition, types (green, gold, delayed), OA journals (gold and hybrid), OA books, OA repositories, benefits, barriers (publisher resistance), philosophy of access to knowledge, disciplinary trends; Open Access Policy development, including funder policies 2. Copyrights and licensing mechanisms for Open Access, such as the creative commons licenses, copyleft and publishers' embargo in self-archiving Module 2: Practical Options and Systems 3. Repositories and issues involved in creating and maintaining repositories, author self-archiving 4. Open Access Journal publishing systems and processes Module 3: Initiatives, Implications and Issues 5. Searching of Open Access information (Vehicles for Open Access: OAIster and other Open Access Search Engines, PubMed), Metadata related issues, SHERPA RoMEO, DOAJ, DOAB, GOAP, OA Map, etc. 6. Impact of Open Access on dissemination of knowledge, citation advantages, estimating impact; Changing practices in scholarly communication, including open peer review, emerging approaches to recognition of scholarly works 7. Implications of online-only format for long-term preservation of OA content (Google Books, Internet Archive, Hathi Trust, other non-U.S. large initiatives) While this is useful, we need to identify the Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes to develop the curriculum and content learning materials. You may also like to comment on the suitability of the above topics. If you want to share more on the topic privately, kindly do so in the emails: smishra.col(a)gmail.com and barna.chakrabarti(a)gmail.com With Regards, Barnali Roy Choudhury Project Associate (Open Access) Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia 13/14 Sarv Priya Bihar New Delhi 110016 www.cemca.org

Dr Tapaaswi's superannuation
by jharavu 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

I saw the posting on Lis-Forum about Dr Tapaswi's superannuation. I have known Tapaswi since his DRTC days and later more intimately at NIO. He is one of the rare breeds in the Library and Information profession. He combines in himself unique combination of qualities: of leadership, professional competency, willingness to keep on learning, the fearlessness to experiment, and the wherewithal to build strong relationships with the users of his library and its services. Like all of us, products of time and space, one has to lay down one's office. I am sure NIO library staff and the scientists will miss him and his dynamism. I would like to convey my best wishes for days after his superannuation. If I know him well, then I do believe he will continue to make a contribution to whatever cause he chooses.

I am very thankful for his inspiration and leadership to our young CSIR-LIS professionals. I am Wishing you the very best in a new phase of his life! Thank u very much Sir and best wishes KPS Sengar, PhD Library Officer & DIR Administrator CSIR-IMTECH, Chandigarh ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2013 11:31:39 +0530 From: "Satyaranjan Sahu" <satya(a)nio.org> To: "LIS-Forum (LIS-Forum)" <lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> Subject: [LIS-Forum] Retirement on superannuation of a progressive & proactive librarian - Dr. Murari P. Tapaswi Message-ID: <032f01ce8db3$6c578320$45068960$@org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Dear professionals, Progressive and proactive library & information professionals are rare in India. Some of these professionals dedicatedly work for the satisfaction of their patrons without publicizing their achievements and retire on their superannuation without notice of others. But young professionals should know about them and try to learn & emulate such achievements. Today on 31st July 2013, one of such librarian in CSIR setup is going to retire on the superannuation and needs to be mentioned. This write up is based on my close association with him over last 10 years. Dr. Murari P. Tapaswi, Chief Scientist (Librarian) is retiring today on his superannuation after 34 years of career in the library of CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography. He is specialized in Information Management & Dissemination and has actively participated in several projects such as Development of National Information Centre for Marine Sciences (DSIR-Project), Database of literatures on Indian Ocean and adjacent water (DSIR project), Database on Indian mangroves (MoEF Project) and other CSIR projects on libraries & information services. His work of computer applications for better library & information services had impressed UNESCO which put NIO library on the international map in 1985. Soon his vision and expertise was appreciated and India became the first developing country to be the part of the prestigious Aquatic Science and Fisheries Information System of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UN in 1989. Dr. Tapaswi was the only library & information scientist from a developing country who was selected as a member of the group of experts in Marine Information Management (1992-2008) to help the 120-member Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO in development of marine information products. He was selected as the chairman of experts group for two times (1999-2004) for the development of Ocean Data & Information Network in African countries. He was the member of several national committees on e-resource negotiation, Open Access Policy, etc. Dr. Tapaswi, an alumnus of DRTC was always proactive in using technology for better services in library. An expert in CDS/ISIS with Pascal programming had developed himself automation package for NIO library during 1990s when it was a dream in India to automate the library services. The backbone of the automation package is still in use with modification in Linux OS with browser based facilities. He is very skillful in ?Bibliometrics/Scientometrics? analysis using CDS/ISIS - Pascal programming and this skill was used extensively in the institute by authorities & researchers. His supervision & management has established the institute website (http://www.nio.org [1]) as a top ranked among the oceanographic institutions all over the world. As a mentor, he has guided the Digital Repository Service of NIO (http://drs.nio.org [2]) to 1st ranked institutional repository in India (267th ranking in World). His role as Public Information Officer and contact person for press, media and parlia! ment questions are notable and such challenges taken by library professional are rare. He has visited several countries like Australia, Belgium, Bermuda, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Thailand, UK and USA for his professional assignments. There are more than 10 research papers & 3 books to his credit. Those who are associated with him know well about his sincerity, discipline and hard work. Main motto of such professionals is ?User satisfaction? than any award or recognition. On behalf of CSIR library & Information professionals, I wish him all the best.
