<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Late last
year, leading publishing houses including Oxford University Press and Cambridge
University Press brought a copyright action against Delhi University and a tiny
photocopy shop licensed by it, seeking to restrain them from supplying
educational course packs to students. This lawsuit sent shock waves across the
academic community, leading more than 300 authors and academics including famed
Nobel laureate Professor Amartya Sen to protest this copyright aggression in an
open letter to publishers. Tellingly, 33 of the authors of various books
mentioned specifically in the lawsuit (as having been copied in the course
packs) signed this protest letter making it clear that they were dissociating
themselves from this unfortunate lawsuit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">For those not familiar with the
term, course packs are compilations of limited excerpts from copyrighted books,
put together painstakingly by faculty members in accordance with a carefully
designed syllabus and teaching plan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">

<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">What makes the lawsuit
particularly egregious is the fact that publishers are effectively seeking an
outright ban on all course packs, even those that extract and use no more than
10 per cent of the copyrighted book. Under U.S. law, reproducing up to 10 per
cent of the copyrighted books is “fair use” of a copyrighted work, and
therefore legal. Given that India is a developing country, with poorer students
and more severe educational access constraints, it stands to reason that Indian
courts ought to peg this number at 30 per cent or even higher.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Further, the Indian education
exception is far wider than its U.S. counterpart. Section 52(1) (a) embodies
the “fair use” exception and permits any fair dealing of a copyrighted work for
the purpose of research and private study. In addition, unlike the U.S.,
Section 52(1)(i) embodies a separate exception, under which it is perfectly
legal to reproduce any copyrighted work during the course of educational
instruction. These exceptions reflect a clear Parliamentary intention to exempt
core aspects of education from the private sphere of copyright infringement. Eviscerating
these exceptions at the behest of publishers will strike at the very heart of
our constitutional guarantee of a fundamental right to education for all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">In fact, copyright scholars have
begun labelling these exceptions as “rights” accruing in favour of
beneficiaries such as students. In CCH Canadian Ltd. v. Law Society of Upper
Canada, the Supreme Court of Canada endorsed this sentiment noting that:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">“…The fair dealing exception, like
other exceptions in the Copyright Act, is a user’s right. In order to maintain
the proper balance between the rights of a copyright owner and users’
interests, it must not be interpreted restrictively.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Recently, an association of
students and academics applied to be impleaded as parties to the lawsuit, so
that they could help the court arrive at a robust interpretation of the
copyright exceptions. While allowing these impleadments, the judge noted the
critical importance of “public interest” in deciding intellectual property
cases. These developments come close on the heels of the famed Novartis
decision where the Supreme Court foregrounded the interests of the public in
accessing affordable medication.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #373535; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 7.5pt; font-weight: normal; line-height: 115%; text-transform: uppercase;">DANGER OF THIS LICENCE<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Meanwhile, publishers have offered
the tantalising option of acquiring a licence from the Indian Reprographic
Rights Organisation (IRRO), an organisation set up by publishers to collect
royalties on their behalf. This is a dangerous route to tread for three
reasons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">First, taking a licence for course
packs amounts to paying for a right that does not exist. It bears reiteration
that photocopying for the purpose of educational instruction is a legal
exception under copyright law and one is not required to seek the permission of
the copyright owner and/or pay any licence fees.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Second, the IRRO and publishers
are likely to offer a paltry licensing fee at the start. Once their foot is in
the door, there is no stopping them from rapidly escalating licensing fees year
after year. Canadian universities bore the brunt of this copyright greed around
a year or so ago and refused to renew their licenses.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Third, the IRRO does not hold the
rights to all published works. If Universities are to track down and enter into
licensing deals with every copyright owner, this would lead to excessive delays
in the preparation of course packs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Academic institutions should
therefore refrain from entering into any deal with the IRRO or publishers till
such time as the case is disposed of. In fact, given the rather wide language
of Section 52(1)(i), institutions are well within their right to presume that
the creation of course packs and related educational material is legal, until a
court holds otherwise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin: 0in 0in 4.6pt; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #373535; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 7.5pt; font-weight: normal; line-height: 115%; text-transform: uppercase;">NO INDIAN EDITIONS<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Notwithstanding the egregiousness
of this lawsuit, a key advantage is that it forces us to re-examine the current
publishing and pricing model that places profit above the interest of students.
Academics need to come together and explore alternative open access models in
order to break through this private profit monopoly thicket that has come to
plague academic publishing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">That a majority of educational
textbooks are priced above the affordability range of an average Indian student
is well known. A recent empirical study done by me along with my students
reveals that a vast majority of popular legal and social science titles have no
corresponding Indian editions and need to be purchased at rates equivalent to
or higher than in the West.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Therefore, the claim by publishers
that course packs would destroy their market for books and put them out of
business is highly questionable. Given that this is the first copyright law
suit to be brought against course packs, one can only assume that the healthy
growth figures boasted by the academic publishing industry means that course
packs have not done them much damage. If at all anything, the inclusion of
extracts of copyrighted works in the course packs is likely to encourage
readers to buy the books when they can afford them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 10.35pt; margin-top: 0in; outline: none;">
<span style="color: #3b3a39; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;">In the end, this lawsuit must be
seen for what it is: a highly pernicious attempt to fill the coffers of
publishers at the expense of students! It must be resisted with all the moral
and legal force we have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
March 12th 2013<br />
<br />
We have just completed the transition to a new environment and launched a new platform with integrated functionality for sharing, exporting and enhanced search/browse functionality: at the article level, search results can be filtered by language and publication year and by license and publication fee; at the journal level, you can filter by subject, by country, by license and by publication fees. These facets will be developed further in the months to come. (Read more about our enhancements on our home page: www.doaj.org <http: www.doaj.org="">.) We are also very proud to announce that the DOAJ has reached two important milestones:</http:><br />
<br />
1. For the first time since launch in 2003, more than 50% of the<br />
journals are providing metadata at article level.We will continue to<br />
work with the 2000+ publishers to increase this figure.<br />
2. More than 1 million articles are now searchable in DOAJ which means<br />
more than 1 million article-level metadata entriesare available for<br />
harvesting!We expect this figure to increase significantly in the<br />
months to come.<br />
<br />
We continue to work with key stakeholders to agree on and implement new, tighter criteria for the inclusion of journals in the DOAJ: critieria that will address issues of quality and openness, as well as other kinds of information about the journals.<br />
We are very excited about these developments and we are grateful for the continued support from the community. We always need more support so we can continue to provide a better service, so please consider<br />

</div><div class="Default" style="text-align: justify;">Currently in India there are discussions of imposing restrictions on social networking sites. Even educational institutions don’t encourage the use of such platforms. But there are many advantages to connecting with other people, especially in the sciences. Imagine members of a social network who are trying to identify a microbe and are not tagging a picture from a random party. ResearchGate is a professional network for scientists, to share their recent scientific work and discuss it with experts around the world. In Topics, members can discuss problems they face in the lab. According to Dr. Rajiv Gupta, a lecturer at the Harvard Medical School and MIT, “There are the Facebook-type social networking sites, but they have been sort of populated by teenagers. There is nothing there that is specific to doing research.” On <a href="http://www.researchgate.net/">ResearchGate</a>, researchers can Follow their favorite scientist and they can read their publications and ask relevant scientific questions. Dr. Ijad Madisch, an alumni of Harvard Medical school and founder of ResearchGate, says that he came up with the idea for ResearchGate when he was stuck with a problem in his subject and could not find any answers. Within three years, the Network has grown to more than 1.3 million members from 123 countries. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpOCCQOv8ON-I0lBTHk1pAhvjm41JfV-kX0zARUPPiZRAjjJLNbUFat-jmYY9wu60mGa88nJzLUX7h2Wa02WK0jJCbyKR6sZGnLw6PfP8muHiuoOjUBPmxTpfjmvHuGiJTi9ZzdnTpSd4i/s1600/Clipboard03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpOCCQOv8ON-I0lBTHk1pAhvjm41JfV-kX0zARUPPiZRAjjJLNbUFat-jmYY9wu60mGa88nJzLUX7h2Wa02WK0jJCbyKR6sZGnLw6PfP8muHiuoOjUBPmxTpfjmvHuGiJTi9ZzdnTpSd4i/s320/Clipboard03.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="Default" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="text-indent: 0.5in;">What is the most exciting part for science enthusiasts and for educational institutes? The product is magnificently tailored to the researchers. The members have access to 45,000,000 abstracts and 350,000 publications, recommendations for conferences, related researchers and jobs – all simply by creating a profile. The profile is like a research curriculum vitae, which also includes publications. According to a New York Times article, Dr. Rajiv Gupta uses ResearchGate for his class notes. “There is so much activity online that he doesn’t have to answer the questions himself because someone else already has. The beauty of ResearchGate, he said, “is that the members are all there for a common purpose of advancing scientific research”. India continues to grow in the fields of science and technology. ResearchGate is the space for Indian scientists to become a part of this movement.</span></div></div>Mohamed Musthafahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00725270499221817818noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925015640743643619.post-82837190535482516092011-12-22T20:31:00.000-08:002011-12-22T20:34:49.448-08:00Incessant Scholastic accomplishments will make Aligarh Muslim University remain an Institution of Excellence”- Mr. Sunil Kumar Singh<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal" dir="rtl" style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtXX5-xIoNDquEF2zDKHxi9KaRufYG_ykXTIKHLrB-zvgaPeONUstQ0rMkCylMx3T94-0A2zIfD1V6pSGP7K8UsNTikHH7YdV7nNA91SMjozN8U8YLQUkUNUOvpikdyK8uDJCuEGnVFJXS/s1600/4+NEWS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtXX5-xIoNDquEF2zDKHxi9KaRufYG_ykXTIKHLrB-zvgaPeONUstQ0rMkCylMx3T94-0A2zIfD1V6pSGP7K8UsNTikHH7YdV7nNA91SMjozN8U8YLQUkUNUOvpikdyK8uDJCuEGnVFJXS/s320/4+NEWS.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">Aligarh: Six days short term course on </span><b style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><i>E-resources for Research</i></b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> organized by the Department of Library and Information Science, </span><st1:placename style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;" w:st="on">Aligarh</st1:placename><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><st1:placename style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;" w:st="on">Muslim</st1:placename><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><st1:placetype style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;" w:st="on">University</st1:placetype><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> in collaboration with </span><st1:place style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;" w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">UGC</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Academic</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Staff</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">College</st1:placetype></st1:place><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> concluded by the Valedictory function held at the Audio Visual Hall of Department of Geology on 21</span><sup style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">st</sup><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> Dec. 2011</span><b style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">.
