Some Observations

Tamil Proverb

What has been learned is like a fistful of sand, what remains is likethe whole earth!

Solution?

Giving a scholar access only to raw information is like giving onlyseeds to a hungry man.

Way Forward?

If I have seen further [than others] it is by standing on theshoulders of giants... Issac NewtonHow can Libraries close this gap? Are they in competion with ICT?

Paper Vs. Digital

A tree can produce about 80,500 sheets of paper, thus it requiresabout 786 million trees to produce the world’s annual paper supply.The UNESCO Statistical Handbook for 1999 estimates that paperproduction provides 1,510 sheets of paper per inhabitant of theworld on average. ...

Moreover, today’s research relies more on global digital datacollections of observatoinal, experimental or computationaldata

1 Protein Data Bank

2 Temperature/Climate Data

3 Earth Sciences/Social Sciences

What is open access publishing?

1 Free and unrestricted online access to the research literatureand databases

2 Users are licensed to download, print, copy, redistribute, anduse

3 Author retains copyright and the right to be acknowledged

4 Papers are deposited in a public database that allowssophisticated searches (such as PubMedCentral)

Why is open access important?

1 Maximum impact for authorsaccess to the largest possible audience

2 New ways to access and use literaturefull-text searching and mining (e.g. Google Scholar)

3 Greatly expanded access to researchfor scientists, educators, physicians, the public

Digitizing Books also!

Google’s Project

Google will digitize all volumes in the University of Michigan andStanford University library systems along with parts of researchlibraries at Harvard, the New York Public Library, and OxfordUniversity in England. More information on the scope of projectsat the individual institutions can be found at news.com. Theproject looks to be an extension of Google Print and GoogleScholar, while reaching all the way back to the Stanford librarydigitization project where Google originated.

Europe’s Response

Nineteen European national libraries have joined forces against aplanned communications revolution by Internet search giant Googleto create a global virtual library, organizers said Wednesday. The19 libraries are backing instead a multi-million eurocounter-offensive by European nations to put European literatureonline.G.

Libraries vs AmazGoogle

Modern Students demand

1 Comprehensive

2 Accessible

3 Immediate gratification

4 Followability of data

What they expect from a Library? E-learning!

organized together into related sets. Each bitstream has a technical format and other technical information. This technical information is kept with the bitstreams to

Web-based interface makes it easy for a

submitter to create an archival item by depositing files. DSpace was designed to handle any format from simple text documents to datasets and digital video.

3 An item is an "archival atom" consisting of

grouped, related content and associated descriptions (metadata). An item's exposed metadata is indexed for browsing and searching. Items are organized into collections of logically-related material.

6 DSpace is committed to going beyond reliable file

preservation to offer functional preservation where files are kept accessible as technology formats, media, and paradigms evolve over time for as many types of files as possible.

4 A community is the highest level of the

DSpace content hierarchy. They correspond to parts of the organization such as departments, labs, research centers or schools.

7The end-user interface supports browsing and

searching the archives. Once an item is located, Web-native formatted files can be displayed in a Web browser while other formats can be downloaded and opened with a suitable application program.
