Dear Friends, As you already know that a eGroup for promoting Open Access and Digital Libraries (OADL) was formed at Yahoo Groups - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/oadl/ The OADL Group had set up a target (I) for itself to produce a Guide for helping people to develop Digital Libraries that can be accessed according to Open Access principles. "Wiki" mode collaboration was selected to produce this guide by setting a wiki at http://oadl.pbwiki.com/ Now this initiative has got the support of KnowGenesis IJTC. Which has selected it as initiative of the year for being an example of collaborative work. The proposed guide is still in infancy and is being receiving contributions of the OADL Group members. It is under Creative Commons License thus once ready could be freely distributed. Please come and Join the Group - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/oadl/ and contribute to the OADL WIKI - http://oadl.pbwiki.com/ Let me not forget to thank KnowGenesis IJTC for their support. Sukhdev Singh, Co-Moderator OADL Group. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Saurabh Kudesia Date: 18-Jan-2007 11:26 Subject: KnowGenesis IJTC supports OADL initiatives To: oadl@yahoogroups.com Cc: esukhdev@gmail.com Warm Greetings to all volunteers! Efforts, collaboration and dedication certainly make a mark and the fact remains true for the digital era as well. As part of KnowGenesis commitment to promote knowledge sharing and collaboration, we are supporting many activities around the globe that have the potential to define the way knowledge is collected, shared and disseminated. I am pleased to share that OADL has recently been selected as one of the volunteer effort to be supported by KnowGenesis. OADL is one of the best examples to prove how collaboration among community members can bring the difference to the society. KnowGenesis is proud to support OADL in its mission of developing Sukhdev, I will be sending the KG logo for the OADL wiki site/Yahoo!group in a separate mail. --------- About KnowGenesis International Journal for Technical Communication (IJTC) KnowGenesis is a volunteer effort that brought some of the finest International minds at one place.
