Message from the DirectorAdequate access to scholarly literature including databases and scientific journals has been identifiedas a major constraint faced by researchers and scientists in developing countries. This constraint ismore prevalent in the Asia Pacific region where the national governments cannot affordto investsufficient funds on such resources.However, it is observed that the scholarly literature output in the world is dramatically increasingespecially in the Asia Pacific region. The inadequacies and constraints for access to scholarly literaturesources faced by researchers in poorer countries, could be compensated to some extent if a suitablecollaborative mechanism could be developed among the countries for sharing the rich scholarlyliterature output in the region.The technological advances brought about by ICT has opened numerous cost effective channels forsuch collaborative mechanisms and the digital revolution has introduced many changes and challengesin the information field resulting in the evolution of libraries into digital libraries and e-repositories.Operation of a regional network of e-repositories offering access to literature either for free or at aconcessional rate could be an ideal solution to tackle the problem. Such a system will support newthinking, enrich education, accelerate research, and increase innovation outputs which wouldsubsequently promote industrialization in the region in a sustainable manner.I am extremely happy that the staff of the National Science Library and Resource Centre of theNational Science Foundation is organizing this workshop to empower the Library and InformationCommunity in the Asia region with necessary knowledge and skills for developingtheirinstitutional/national digital collections towards building up a regional network of e-repositories withan enormous potential for sharing the collective literature output in the region.I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the U N E S C Ofor their sponsorship and I am grateful toProfessor A R D Prasad and Dr. Devika Medalli of the Indian StatisticalInstitute for their valuablecontribution in conducting this workshop on D-space open source digital library software.Dr Sarath AbayawardanaDirector, National Science Foundation2011. 07.27
