This document discusses open access initiatives in India including institutional repositories, open access journals, metadata harvesting services, open courseware, and digital library initiatives. It provides examples of several national-level open access repositories and notes that while many Indian journals are hybrid, no Indian journal charges authors fees for publishing papers. It also summarizes statistics on the growth of open access repositories globally and in India.

5. The Library of the future will combine … ... a managed place … … with a managed digital space .”

6. From Database/Repository to Environment (Managed Digital Space) Seamless (fully integrated with digital learning and research; beyond?) Community (resources, people, interaction, process, activities, services) Omnipresent (it will be wherever the users are) Dynamic & Organic (the users will construct it as much as we will) Trusted Information Systems (status, reputation, influence, impact) Personal Information Systems (discovery, assistance, utility) Smart Information ( telemetry, propagation )

8. Signaling value to the institution in an open-ended fashion

9. Culture of Openness Most modern libraries are “ hybrid” libraries Continuing the past and integrating new methods of storage and transmission of information into an already existing structure

12. Open Access Defined

13. Open Access Movement & initiatives Statements & Declarations http://www.digitalscholarship.org/oab/2statements.htm Budapest definition By "open access" to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the Internet itself. (Open Society Institute, 2002) See http://www.soros.org/openaccess/

15. Openness -as a transformative value

16. Instructors rapidly build & share custom collections Learners find & explore content Authors Create & collaborate

19. flickr cc As rightly said by — Evan Prodromou, Founder, Identi.ca “ Within a generation we can open the world’s knowledge to all of its inhabitants and reduce or eliminate the misery caused by lack of access to information, and Creative Commons is a crucial part of the cultural compact that makes that revolution possible"

21. Open Access ‘Routes’ GOLD = authors publish in OA journals that make their articles freely accessible online immediately upon publication. OA journals are peer-reviewed. Depending on the model, authors may have to pay publishers a fee to publish. GREEN = authors publish in a subscription journal, but also make their articles freely accessible online, usually by depositing them in either an institutional repository or central repository (either peer-reviewed postprints or non-peer-reviewed preprints).

24. SHERPA http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/ SHERPA is investigating issues in the future of scholarly communication. It is developing open-access institutional repositories in universities to facilitate the rapid and efficient worldwide dissemination of research. ROAR tracks the growth of existing OA Archives. OpenDOAR worldwide Directory of Open Access Repositories (http://www.opendoar.org/) ROARMAP tracks the growth of institutional self-archiving policies . ROMEO tracks journal/publisher "green" policies on author self-archiving . RoMEO - Publisher's copyright & archiving policies (http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/) JULIET - Research funders archiving mandates and guidelines (http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/juliet/index.php ) Statistical Analysis For an indication of how UK research funders have implemented Open Access policies and level of funds affected, please see: Selected research funders' grant expenditure available at http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/juliet/financialstats.html.) Let us take a look at some statistics associated with some of these International/National Initiatives: Open Access to Research

25. ROAR Registry of Open Access Repositories resulted in 1737 repositories Open Access to Research India: Vidyanidhi (~55000 records) IISc, Bangalore, (~23000records) (IIAstrophysics (~4211) RRI (~3546) Many not listed ROAR/Open DOAR – NISCAIR (6 Feb, 2009)
