Open Access

For librarians, access to required information is very essential for user’s sake. Today, “open access” is very much in demand. This year 14th October was celebrated as first “Open Access Day”. On this occasion, to make people aware, a small article Mahitichi mukta upalabdhata authored by my colleague Mr. B. J. Sane and myself was published in “Sakaal” (Marathi daily newspaper). The article explains what is open access and how it affects users and libraries.
