• ABOUT BOSLA

The Bombay Science Librarian’s Association (BOSLA) was established in October 1975 and officially registered on 9th March 1978 with Registration No. F4735 (BOM) at the Office of the Charity Commissioner, Maharashtra State, Mumbai.

During 1970s, the librarians of scientific institutions realized that with the existing resources, it was not possible for them to fully cater to the needs of the scientific community of their organizations due to the steadily rising costs of publications and almost stationary annual budgets for their libraries.

The initiative was then taken by the librarians of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (B.A.R.C.), Department of Chemical Technology, Bombay University (U.D.C.T.), Indian Institute of Technology (I.I.T.), Bombay and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (T.I.F.R.). They started meeting frequently to discuss and explore the possibilities of developing closer ties than routine inter-library loan. As a result of these efforts, the Bombay Science Librarian’s Association (BOSLA) was formed in October 1975.

​Presently, the association has grown to include more than 500 life members nationwide. The association keeps organizing seminars, conferences, and workshops in association with various institutions with the main objective of upskilling the working knowledge of the librarians.

 

• Main objectives of the Association:
• To improve the services of the Bombay science libraries.
• To cooperate actively so as to benefit mutually by the resources available to the libraries.
• To strengthen the financial resources of the science libraries in Bombay.
• To raise the professional standard of library staff in the Bombay science libraries.
• To improve the status and service conditions of the library staffers in Bombay.
• To maintain liaison between the professionals and the Government.

• About Webinar

BOSLA and MNLU Mumbai (KRC) have collaboratively organized an online National Level webinar to commemorate “World Intellectual Property Day,” traditionally observed on April 26, 2024. However, due to scheduling constraints, we have rescheduled the celebration to April 29, 2024. The webinar’s focal theme is “Intellectual Property Rights & Innovations” marking this significant occasion.

World Intellectual Property Day emphasizes the importance of intellectual property rights, encompassing patents, copyrights, designs, trademarks, and plant varieties, all crucial for fostering innovation and creativity in the scientific community. It also serves to celebrate and acknowledge the contributions of new inventors, creators, and entrepreneurs.

The significance of World Intellectual Property Day lies in its ability to foster an inclusive and diverse environment conducive to embracing novel ideas and perspectives. It aims to safeguard research output, technology, brand identity, and creativity, thereby effectively addressing contemporary agricultural challenges.

MNLU-Mumbai’s Knowledge Resource Centre and BOSLA-Mumbai have undertaken initiatives to promote awareness and encourage innovation and creativity in the realm of intellectual property rights. MNLU-Mumbai has organized IPR sessions featuring expert speakers from various public and private organizations, who share their invaluable knowledge and experiences.

We eagerly anticipate your participation in this webinar, envisaging enriching discussions that will unfold, contributing to a deeper understanding of intellectual property rights and their role in driving innovation and creativity forward.​
