Will there be a session focused on 'open access self-archiving'? The President of India has appealed to all to digitise our libraries, but the progress so far is not very encouraging. A few LIS professionals have shown that it is possible to set up institutional archives, but a large majority seem to be content with their old ways. IASLIC, as a professional body, should have taken the lead. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] --- Arunachalam Hariharan wrote:
