We have a good news that Indian Engineering Degrees will soon be accredited in US and other developed countries. Read the news from Rediff.com [ http://www.rediff.com/money/2007/jul/05eng.htm ] National Board of Accreditation (NBA) of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is the accreditation agency for Engineering Education in India. They did a good job in getting a provisional signatory membership in Washington Accord, which recognises engineering degrees among the member countries. NBA is allowed 2 years to to bring its academic programmes, curricula and syllabus, examination and evaluation system to the international level and revise its accreditation system to make it fully outcome based, with credit system for flexibility and continuous evaluation for improved learning being the basis of such programmes.If NBA and our technical institutes are successful in achieving this goal, Indian engineering degrees will be internationaly recognised.

In addition, 53 Elsevier titles ranked number one in their respective categories, including: Seminars in Radiation Oncology (#1 in Radiology); Landscape and Urban Planning (#1 in Urban Studies); Gastroenterology (#1 in Gastroenterology & Hepatology); Annals of Emergency Medicine (#1 in Emergency Medicine); The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (#1 in Allergy), Biomaterials (#1 in Materials Science, Biomaterials); and Journal of Catalysis (#1 in Engineering, Chemical). "The continued increase in impact factors across our journals in both Science & Technology and Health Sciences demonstrates progress in building world class content, reflecting the dedicated effort of our editors and publishing staff," said Mayur Amin, Senior Vice President, Research and Academic Relations. The impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. The impact factor helps to evaluate a journal's relative importance, especially when compared with others in the same field. Other notable results among Elsevier Journals include: The Lancet continued to surge ahead in medicine and confirmed its position as the second highest ranked journal in the field with a two point increase in Impact Factor. Cancer Cell and Immunity, two Cell Press journals, also showed significant increases in Impact Factor, adding over five and three points to their Impact Factors respectively. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta-Molecular Cell Research, Elsevier's oldest and biggest biochemistry journal, increased its impact factor substantially from 4.8 to 6.9 in 2006. Elsevier has the top four ranked titles in the electrochemistry category: 1) Biosensors and Bioelectronics; 2) Journal of Power Sources; 3) Electrochemistry Communications; and, 4) Electrochimica Acta. #### Padma Muralidharan Account Development Manager Elsevier India (Science & Technology) Sri Pratap Udyog 274, Capt Gaur Marg, Sriniwaspuri New Delhi - 110 065 Ph : +91-11-42890202; +91-9810739993 From mailman at ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Mon Jul 30 12:15:28 2007 From: mailman at ncsi.iisc.ernet.in (Mailing List Admin) Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 12:15:28 +0530 (IST) Subject: [LIS-Forum] BioMed Central has introduced a new information portal Message-ID: Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2007 16:56:12 +0530 From: Swapan kumar Patra "BioMed Central has introduced a new information portal ( http://www.biomedcentral.com/developingcountries/) to the developing world's need for open access to the S & T literature.

Please grab this opportunity to provide 'Shram dhan'. I the undersigned is interested in doing 'Shram dhan' but why to foreign organisation and we shouldnot initiate the same in our state,country.I always like to read the new horizons in LIS fields and I teach for Library cerificate course in Mumbai for two NGO's .I always feel that marketing or one can say the uses of libraries are not well spread among the societies.I tried to write in marathi paper but being not awell known person the same was not published.I wish the people like you, Dr Prasad and also satyanarayan and also madame S Murthy write about LIS it may catch the others. I always feel that karnataka and Andhra-Pradesh are well ahead for doing better perfomance in this field than Maharashatra. I always feel about the salary packages offered to MLIS professionals.This may be one of the reason that scholars are not getting attracted to our field. I am trying my best in Mumbai but I do not find that any library organisation eg BHOSLA is doing something good for our profession.I want your help and guidance. I want to work sincerely for our profession to bring it parallel to IT developments who are grabing our profession very badly.We librarians try our level best to update with new technologies but the opportunities ar for Librarians cum manager cum administration. Knowledge commission by sam Pitroda is on the paper not in practice for infrastructure of libraries and opportunities for LIS professionals. May I except a reply.
