Friends:
Let us hope that many higher educational and research institutions in India
set up their own interoperable institutional archives/repositories soon. We
at MSSRF had organised two three-day workshops in early May and 48
participants took advantage of the workshops. Please see Current Science
dated 25 June 2004 for a report on the workshops. Later this month Dr
Rajashekar at NCSI-IISc is organising a three-day workshop for INDEST member
institutions. Dr D K Sahu [dksahu@medknow.com] is running a discussion list
for the faculty and participants of the MSSRF workshops. The faculty and
participants of the Osmania University workshop and the NCSI-IISc workshop
are invited to join the list.
Holding workshops is one thing and actually setting up archives and
populating them is another. I wish all the participants and faculty of the
Osmania University workshop great success in setting up their own
institutional archives.
Best wishes.
