Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo is the oldest art museum in São Paulo, SP, Brazil. The Walter Wey Library was created in 1959 to support the Museum staff: curators, researchers and conservators but today the majority of patrons is graduate students. The Library's collection is rich in representing Brazilian artists and contains materials pertinent to the Museum's art collections but it includes materials from all over the world. The Library has just started a new section that is formed by fanzines. Although there are many other libraries that hold these collections they are not very familiar either to users or to librarians. The library became interested in starting this collection because we have received many fanzines made by visual artists, illustrators, poets and comic writers. Fanzines are self-published booklets, created by hand or using low-cost printing technologies that allow to creator to take part in the whole production process. Although there are some E-zines being produced, some authors claims that fanzines could be considered as means of cultural resistance, in terms that they are printed and usually handmade, in opposition to all social media and digital sources for publishing. By bringing these materials into an art public Library Pinacoteca seeks to invite more people to read them. The circulation of fanzines could be restricted to other places than public museum and they are so original and creative that we decided to keep them and make them available to users. We expect to do a research to find relationships with contemporary art and also with other disciplines as Communication Theory and Information Science.

Central Library Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) cordially invites you to the 15th Library Lecture Series and Outreach Programme Topic: Quality Assessment and Open Access at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts, University of Gothenburg, Sweden Speaker : Dr. Karin Sundén University Librarian / Universitetsbliotekarie Gothenburg University Library / Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek Art Library / Konstbiblioteket, Göteborg, Sweden Chairperson: Dr. K C Garg Former Scientist NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT STUDIES (NISTADS), New Delhi Date: Wednesday, 6th November 2013 at 3.30 pm Venue: Committee Room, Central Library, JNU, New Delhi About the Talk: In the university world, the financial allocations for research are increasingly dependent on bibliometric indicators of faculty publications registered in databases and repositories. Following a decision by the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Gothenburg, the allocation of faculty research resources, should from the budget year 2012 partly be based on bibliometric indicators and partly on external funds. Each faculty has had to develop and formulate their bibliometric indicators in a way, that best reflects their specific subject field and their publishing culture. The Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts has, beside traditional publications, also decided to focus on the unique excellence, that charactarizes its field, i.e. artistic works. I will, in my example, show how it was made possible to use a bibliometric indicator also in assessing art works and not only scientific texts and how it was tried out in practice. About the Speaker: Karin Sundén is a University Librarian, currently working at the Art Library, Gothenburg University Library, Sweden. Apart from her library and information studies, he has studied art history at an advanced level. She has also experience in working with institutional repositories and Open Access publishing. and also Cordially invites you to the launch o£ the book A GRAMMAR OF THE GREAT ANDAMANESE LANGUAGE AN ETHNOLINGUISTIC STUDY on Thursday, 7 November 2013 at 4.30 p.m. at JNU Convention Centre Dr. Kapila Vatsyayan Chairperson, DC-Asia Project, India International Centre Former Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha and Trustee & Founder Academic Director,iGNCA Will launch the book Prof. Sudhir K.
