Education has undergone an unprecedented change since ancient times. As a latest development Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are emerging all over the globe. Embracing students from diverse geographical areas, academic backgrounds, and professional pursuits is the essence of open learning. India is in fact second largest user country of MOOCs, following US being at number one. Recognising the same, MOOCs gained momentum in India too. While some are run by private business houses, others are introduced by the Government so as to reach the unreachable target group, achieve desired literacy level, and sharpen the skills of youth in order to deal with unemployment and promote various other projects of India viz. Make in India etc. India has still a long way to go;they are likely to be operational like a storm only by year 2020.Keywords

This study provides a bibliometric review of 1,027 documents published on COVID-19, extracted from the database of ‘dimensions.ai’ and published in 228 journals, authored by 3,436 authors. For the analysis, Bibliometrix R-Package was used through the biblioshiny interface. A topical query was conducted and 2,973 bibliographic literature from the online database of “Dimensions.ai” was downloaded using the search strategy “Text – ‘Coronavirus OR COVID-19 OR SARS-CoV-2’ in the title and abstract; Field of Research is Division code 08 Information and Computing Science”. Documents from the earliest possible record to the current record of Bibliometric study revealed a sudden rise in the annual scientific production in the year 2019 with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. Further study revealed the most prolific authors, journals, and affiliations. Besides, we present research collaboration networks at the author level.Keywords

Owing to the prevailing ‘unfair’ digital divide, libraries worldwide are unable to build and manage institutional repositories for preserving and sharing the research output of academia. This paper evaluates and demonstrates how libraries can practically harness the completely free SaaS service model based on public cloud deployment model infrastructure to fill this divide and achieve the larger goal of open science. The paper highlights the process and steps of using Zenodo, a FREE and OPEN platform, powered by Invenio (Free Open-Source Software) RDM infrastructure, to establish a trusted repository with the provision of self-archiving. To test the KPIs and functionalities, a live online community ‘dlispu’ was built on the Zenodo platform and the archiving process was executed. The findings of the study reveal that libraries can easily adopt Green Open Access, thus strengthening the scholarly communication cycle without any upfront and subsequent cost. This immediately outweighs the limitations of the digital divide. The positive outcomes of the study pave the way for the libraries with resource insufficiencies in making research more findable, shareable, and reproducible, with confidence. The findings of the study also reveal that the Zenodo repository is a OAI-PMH-compliant repository supporting metadata harvesting and interoperability.Keywords

Article 19 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations, reads “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) has taken the initiative, IFLA/FAIFE (Freedom of Access to Information and Freedom of Expression), to defend and promote the basic human rights defined in Article 19 of the UN’s UDHR. While such movements and initiatives are focused towards the citizens of the world, WIPO’s Marrakesh VIP Treaty (MVT) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) cater to the requirements and rights of the persons with vision aberrations and other such bodily deficiencies, which deprives them from accessing information and knowledge, building a steeper and deeper knowledge divide. The present paper examines the relevant articles as mentioned in the MVT, encompassing the ‘Accessible Format Copies’ (AFC) for the visually disadvantaged. The paper also investigates the provision in the Indian Copyright Act. Various tools as technological interventions have also been discussed, including the Web browser screen readers. A brief discussion on the current status and its implications of WCAG have been also given for greater understanding in context with the theme of the paper.Keywords
