dear colleagues
Please clarify....
In an Institutional Repository, publications of the Institute are
made available in full-text for free access by any one, of course
full-text is subject to publiser's embargo period.
With the copyright held by the publishers for the artilces for ever, I
would like to know what type of agreement between the publisher and
the authors of the Institute enable the full-text Institutional
Repository accessable by anybody.
What is the difference between "request a copy" form for an article
under Embargo period AND making it available in full-text in IR
itself.
Sincerely
Technical officer (Library)
Sugarcane Breeding Institute

Dear Professionals,
As part of National Library Week, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) in
Association with Dept. of Public Libraries - Karnataka State, Kalpataru
Institute of Technology - Tiptur, CFTRI - Mysore has organised the following
programmes.
16th Nov 2010
Speaker: Jayashimha, Personal Secretary to Revu Naik Belamagi, Hon'ble Minister
for Public Libraries, Mass Education, Small Savings and Lotteries & Animal
Husbandry. Govt. of Karnataka.
Topic: Role of Libraries and Significance of Reading Habits with respect to
Common Man
The program was held in Sahakara Nagar Public Library. By delivering the chief
guest lecture Mr. Jayashimha depicted libraries role in changing the life of
common man to eminent personalities in the history. He mentioned the example of
two great leaders in the history, Abraham Lincoln and Chatrapati Shivaji. Both
were inspired by books which they have read, led them to become whatsoever they
were. He has narrated the concept practiced in the earlier days by lettered
persons, carrying fifteen books in their bag and distributed to fifteen houses
by giving them one week time for reading and exchange those fifteen books within
and among those fifteen families on rotating basis under the concept of
"Pustakada Jolige" (carrying books in bag) to share the knowledge and also
inculcate the reading habits among them.

and municipalities from the public for providing good Library Services.

18th Nov 2010
Speaker: Dr. K N Prasad, Executive Officer, Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for
Library Science, Rajajinagar, Bangalore.
Topic: Books, Reading, Libraries, Internet: Some Stray Thoughts
Dr. Prasad started with saying in the mid-1950's research showed that Americans
were spending less on books and more on radios, televisions and the like.
Concerned that American's were reading less, the American Library Association
and the American book Publishers formed a non-profit citizens' organization
called the National Book Committee in 1954. The main goal was to encourage
people to read at least in their leisure time in order to improving incomes and
health and for developing strong family life. The American Library Association
first sponsored the National Library Week in 1958 with the theme "Wake up and
Read". In India, the idea of National Library Week first took shape in 1982 as
part of the Silver Jubilee Celebration of the national Book Trust of India and
the first NLW was observed through out the country from 14-20 December 1982. In
response to the enthusiasm it generated by this event, it was decided to
celebrate the National Library Week every year from 14-20 !
November, 14th November coinciding with the birth anniversary day of Jawaharlal
Nehru. Incidentally 19th November which falls within the National Library/Book
week happens to be the birth anniversary day of Indira Gandhi. Both of them were
voracious readers.
The National Library Week aims to focus attention on the significance of books.
Books play a pivotal role in developing individual potential, promoting national
integration and creating an overall environment for the social, cultural and
economic development of the country. It is also the time to celebrate the
contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library
use and support.
He also spoke about
* Libraries
* Books, Reading, Etc.
* Internet and E-Book
* E-books
* Changing Role of Librarians
* Changing Role of Libraries
He suggested:
* Maintain regular reading habits. Read over a determined period of time. Read
from different categories of knowledge, especially biographies. This helps to
discipline your reading and keeps working across several disciplines.
* Read all the titles written by some authors. Choose carefully here, but
identify some books which demand your attention. Examples could be Jeffery
Archer, Frederick Forsyth, Eric Segal, Sydney Sheldon, Shivarama Karanth, S.L.
Bhairappa and the like. Read all they have written and watch their minds at work
and their thought in development. No author can complete his thoughts in one
book no matter how long.
* Books are to be read and re-read, not collected and coddled.
* Learn to have conversation with the book and probably with a pen and a
notebook in hand.
He concluded by saying:
* The printed book will never die in spite of the onslaught of electronic media
* Statistics indicate that more and more printed books are published all over
the world
* In case of scientific and technical journals, the print version have shown
decline in circulation since more and more of e-journals are subscribed by the
libraries.
* The librarians have to reposition themselves to the changed environment by
improving their computer, Internet and other information related skills.
* Library services should be diverse and customer friendly.
Mr. P Y Rajendra Kumar in his presidential remarks mentioned the importance of
National Library week and reading books by quoting few quotes and also used few
jokes to lighter the mood of the audience.
