INTRODUCTION • Internet is playing an important role in transforming the library system and the way in which we view the library resources and the library services. • According to Greyz, “with the expansion of Internet a new class of electronic documents has emerged”. • Internet has thus integrated nearly all library activities, e- mail, discussion through list serves, support reference service through search of remote databases, exploiting the catalogue of other institutions, participation in inter- library loan (ILL),ordering books and journals, inter-library loan establishing home page, etc.
INTRODUCTION.... Open access to knowledge is a generic term used for knowledge resources made available in the public domain for public access or public consumption at large scale, without any hindrance of subscription fee or access charges. OA is facilitated in an internet- based online environment. Thus, OA facilitators as well as users need to establish an online connectivity for knowledge diffusion. Internet services are designed for global as well as local users. 04/14/18 6

There are over 1,670 journals in the Directory of Open Access that • provide free, full text, quality controlled scientific and scholarly journals and aims to cover all subjects and languages. Many recent surveys show that there is an increase in the availability of online journals that are growing at an average of 6.02 and • availability of back issues increase by 90% from 5 % in 2005 and even large number of publishers are forced to provide active subscribers access at no extra cost to access journal back volumes 04/14/18 20
OA Movement • Green open access involves authors self- archiving their articles by sharing them on their own website, or more preferably, in their institution's Institutional Repository or in some other public archive. • Gold open access articles are published in a journal that is open access, which means the journal, will handle hosting and distributing the journal article in a free and open manner. some gold open access journals have publication fees that need to paid by the author (or the author's employer) to cover the cost of publishing the article. 21

WHY SHOULD WE HAVE OPEN ACCESS • An old tradition and a new technology have converged to make possible an unprecedented public good. • The old tradition is the willingness of scientists and scholars to publish the fruits of their research in scholarly journals without payment, for the sake of inquiry and knowledge. • The new technology is the internet. • The public good they make possible is the world-wide electronic distribution of the peer-reviewed journal literature and completely free and unrestricted access to it by all scientists, scholars, teachers, students 04/14/18 28
THE INTERNET & OPEN ACCESS • The Internet is worlds largest resource for millions of books, statistics articles geography details etc. but the Internet is such kind of a virtual library where every thing is scattered on the floor. • Librarians have to pick up the desired information and arrange systematically so that wherever required it can be located and presented before the user. • There are so many sites, which are useful to provide reference service of wide variety. 04/14/18 29

Reasons Not to Publish in Open-Access Journals 04/14/18 73
OA-Indian Scenario • India is emerging from a land of cheap labour into a global player in world economy and geopolitics and striving towards knowledge society. • According to ISI Essential Science Indicators, which compiled 10 years of data from 1994 to 2004 by taking the statistical information pertaining to publication, citation, cites-per-paper counts for scientists, institutions, countries, and journals, it is reported that India is in 13th Rank in terms of papers, but 21st Rank in terms of Citations
Conti…. • Today close to 100 Indian journals are OA, including those published by INSA (4), IASc (11), IISc (1), ICMR (1) and the Calicut Medical College (3). • The Indian Medlars Centre of NIC publishes the OA version of 38 biomedical journals. NIC also produces IndMED, a bibliographic database covering prominent Indian biomedical journals to facilitate access to Indian research.
• Scientists without Borders, a Delhi-based group, is helping easy access to all OA material from India. • IISc was the first Indian institution to set up an institutional archive in India. • Today, the IISc archive has over 3,700 papers. Informatics India launched Open J-Gate, a free search service for material available via OA. • It covers about 3,000 serials, 1,500 of them STM journals. • They also have a subscription product called J-Gate, which covers many thousands more journals. • The National Knowledge Commission is also considering actions to be recommended to the government for the effective use of Open Source/Access models for the Nation.
Advantages of OA---conti • Open access publications are more oftenly cited because of their higher publicity and availability to anyone. • Higher availability and visibility. • Open Access publishings are freely available and downloadable at full text on the internet. • Lower publishing costs. • Shorter publication processing time.and • Finally, very important for individual benefit is… • Higher citation impact
Barriers to OA • OA It is pertinent to point out here that OA publishing is not completely devoid of barriers (McCulloch, 2006) • Its benefit and importance has already been discussed. The barriers are succinctly presented below: • McCulloch (2006) points out that there is still “differences in opinion on the value and acceptance of the OA movement as a result of geographical and subject variables”. Hence, there is a need for focused advocacy programmes to accept OA initiatives 04/14/18 78
• The loss of income to publishers is yet another barrier. The self archiving of pre-prints is seen as a threat to revenue loss by some publishers. • Before submitting their articles to a repository authors have to first ensure that they are not violating the copyright restrictions of the publisher. • As the terminology used is often confusing and difficult to interpret many authors feel discouraged to self-archive for fear that they may infringe copyright 04/14/18 79
Role of Librarian in Internet and World Wide Web Environment: • Internet and World Wide Web are very powerful and bringing changes not only in librarianship but also in his daily professional activities. • Librarian plays new roles such as, intermediary, facilitator, end-user trainer/educator, web organizer & designer, researcher, interface designer, knowledge manager/ professional and sifter of information resources. • While the librarian plays many roles in an organization, it is difficult to identify a role as primary one as the same changes from time-to-time depending on the organizational objectives and requirements.
• Librarian As Facilitator • Librarian As Researcher • Librarian As Knowledge Manager/ Professional • Librarian As Sifter of Information Resources: • Librarian As Web Site Builder or Publisher:

CONCLUSION & SUGGESSTIONS Academic libraries have subscriptions to a large number of scholarly journals, and many allow members of the local community to access the library's journals if they visit the library in person, but the ever rising costs of journal subscriptions is a burden on libraries' budgets. • OA Publications are made free for authors • It increases the impact of researchers work • Articles can be accessed online free of charge. • It provides free online access to the literature necessary for ones research • It helps in career development It provides high quality scholarly work
• Librarians can play a greater role in identification, listing, and classifying information sources and providing systematic approach to accessing the required information. • Internet and World Wide Web are very powerful and bringing changes not only in librarianship but also in his daily professional activities. • Librarians are highly skilled in the research process and possess a unique knowledge of the breadth and depth of information resources in various subject specialties. Librarians are increasingly going to participate in and be critical members of research teams.
• Librarians have been spurred by technological developments to become more efficient organizers, indexers, abstractors, archivers, in addition to assuming new roles such as, intermediary, facilitator, end-user trainer/educator, web organizer & designer, researcher, interface designer, knowledge manager/ professional and sifter of information resources. • The role of librarians is continuing to evolve with the adoption of Internet and World Wide Web into the profession of librarianship.
