In general, most of the peer reviewed journals are identified by the databases such as Web of Science and Scopus. However, a few peer reviewed journals are found to be omitted by these databases. The databases look at those journals and consider for indexing if the editors or publishers notify these databases about omission.  We can accept the journals indexed by these databases as peer reviewed. I also accept that a (very?) few peer reviewed journals are not covered by these databases.

Identying the peer reviewed journals is a complex process,as many journals claim themselves as peer reviewed. 
There is a paper by me about Peer reviewing in Indian S&T journals in CURRENT SCIENCE, VOL. 90, NO. 5, 10 MARCH 2006.

Perhaps we are talking in two different layers. While I am referring
to definitional aspect of the term called "Peer Review"; you are
talking about "Quality Aspect" of Peer Review. For determining the
"quality" aspect of the "Peer Review" you are linking "Indexed" status
of the journal. While I am simply referring to "What is a Peer
Reviewed Journal?" by explaining a pre-publication process, you are
advocating quality aspect that process.

Indexing agencies see lot of other aspects along with the quality of
peer - review. These also include their commercial, political and
competing interests. We should not forget the point that Publication
is a Business Venture and thus various competing interests come into
play leading to creation and propagation of unscientific notions and
myths.

Any what ultimately matters for journals is - Sound and Validated
Reporting of Original Research with high probability  of further
Research Impact.

I am providing links to some material on the subject for the benefit
of other participants of the forum:

  Dear World Friends: 
  I am working with American Library Association's (ALA) President-Elect Dr. Loriene Roy's Circle of Literacy. You may review her total platform and goals at www.lorieneroy.org. 
   
  The Circle of Literacy is addressing literacy issues for the incarcerated (prisoners), indigenous peoples, and immigrants.
   
  My colleague, Maria Casado, and I are specifically working on developing a web page/blog/toolkit that will provide helpful information for immigrants to the USA and to other countries. Maria is addressing immigration to the USA. I am working on compiling best practices of  global and international libraries that are serving immigrants in their respective countries.
   
  Perhaps you have a site/link/library to suggest or your own library is providing services to immigrants in your respective countries. Please send them to consult at riosbalderrama.com
  or circleofliteracy at riosbalderrama.com.
   
  We are looking for everything from survival and coping information, to learning the national language, to literacy, to any strategy for service to new immigrants that addresses their needs. The immigrant populations may include populations living within yourcountry but new to your city or library service area. They may be "new" for various reasons from refugee status, to temporary worker status etc.... 
   
  Maria, Dr. Loriene, and I will keep you posted of all developments and do appreciate your willingness to share.
   
  Salamat,
  Gracias

Message-ID: <585329.36928.qm@web52309.mail.yahoo.com>

Dear Friends,
Roy Tennant's latest piece on TechEssence.info, Open
Letter to ILS Vendors, recommends that in the face of
the sustainable open source ILS options and the
companies that can provide support for them, that
traditional ILS vendors need to rethink their business
models and their customer service.  While this
situation itself and librarians' opposition to it is
nothing new, to read Roy Tennant's articulate
discussion of the subject lends weight to the
issue...and somehow might make it more real to the
vendors. 

Here is the link to the letter,

Conservapedia (http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page) was created last 
November as a project for home-schooled children, based on the Wikipedia 
concept but without the "liberal bias". According to calculations by the 
site's owners, "Wikipedia is six times more liberal than the American 
public". 

Interestingly, the most viewed item on Conservapedia is Examples of Bias 
in Wikipedia. Conservapedia's creators claim Wikipedia is "anti-American", 
"anti-Christian" and "anti-capitalism".

In the third quarter of 2007, an all-but-unknown Swedish software company 
(Xcerion) plans to release a new, free operating system that has the 
potential to radically alter the economics of software development. If 
successful, it may be able to further erode the power Microsoft derives 
from control of the desktop, to beat Google at its software-as-a-service 
play, and to make commodity Linux boxes more viable as a computing 
platform for the masses. 

For the past five years, Xcerion has been working on an XML-based Internet 
operating system (XIOS) that runs inside a Web browser. In a way, XIOS is 
an abstraction layer that sits atop a true operating system like Linux, 
Mac OS X, or Windows, just as does Transmedia's Flash-based Glide Next 
media sharing environment.

Message-ID: <BAY131-F4150165B1901ED1E32B9FEE7B0@phx.gbl>

The March 16 deadline for 2008 applications for the IFLA/OCLC Early Career 
Fellowship Program is fast approaching!

In an ongoing effort to encourage qualified applicants, we'd like to remind 
potential candidates about this program. Please see  
http://www.oclc.org/education/earlycareer/default.htm


Introduction
This program, jointly sponsored by the American Theological Library 
Association, the International Federation of Library Associations and 
Institutions (IFLA), OCLC Online Computer Library Center and OCLC PICA, 
provides early career development and continuing education for library and 
information science professionals from countries with developing economies.

Program overview
On an annual basis, up to five individuals, including a theological 
librarian, are selected for participation in this intensive five-week 
Fellowship program. Four weeks are based at OCLC?s headquarters in Dublin, 
Ohio, USA; one week is based at OCLC PICA in Leiden, Netherlands. The 
program includes lectures, seminars and mentoring and gives Fellows 
opportunities to explore topics including information technologies, library 
operations and management, and global cooperative librarianship.

The Fellows visit selected North American and European libraries, cultural 
heritage institutions and library organizations. The Fellows also observe 
portions of an OCLC Members Council meeting, gaining insight into issues 
affecting global library cooperation and the governance of a global library 
cooperative. Fellows give presentations about their home countries and 
libraries, meet leading practitioners and discuss real-world solutions to 
the challenges facing libraries today.

The Fellows translate their learning and experiences into specific 
professional development plans that guide their continued growth as well as 
their personal contributions to their home institutions and country of 
origin.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Do we practice what we preach?
Message-ID: <c13c85220703062308v248433a6x295a0deae2d65b52@mail.gmail.com>

My today's mailbox included two special emails. One contained an
attachment of proceeding of an International Conference having about
600 pages. I was very glad to receive it and hurried went through it.
But it was the second email which forced my to think ? it contained
information on availability of another conference proceedings as a
priced publication.

I am asking myself a number of questions. Why should not the
conference proceedings be archived somewhere and available through
Open Access?  What is the ultimate aim of any conference? Why do
authors contribute and participate in such conferences? What are the
organizers looking for? Perhaps all this is done to spread and share
experiences among the professionals. But then, are there better ways?

LIS community from the very beginning had been the champions of
"Access to Knowledge". Why can't then the proceeding of every LIS
conference be made Open Access through archiving? Aren't their enough
LIS Repositories? Or we do not practice what we preach?

While I seek answers from my inner self, may I appeal to LIS
Conference Organizers ? Let the Knowledge Spread through Open Access.

Dear friend,
   
  As per AICTE norms the central libray for an admission of 240 students per year will have a carpet area of 400 sqm. which includes stacking and seating area.
  A B.tech student stays for 4years in the campus. So, for 960 students at any given time 400 sqmts requied. ie. .416 sqmts per student. 
  So. for 10,000 students approximately 4166 sq.mts. required.
   
  This is as per AICTE norms.
   
  regards,
  Gayathri Sen

Dear Colleagues,
It has been a dream of many libraries to make their library catalogues 
accessible over web. Many libraries who were earlier using CDS/ISIS (or 
its different versions) has been switching over to commercial library 
automation softwares, as CDS/ISIS was not able to perform the complete 
library automation.

But now, the utility of of CDS/ISIS (or its different versions) is gaining 
momentum in the Digital Library environment, due to emergence of tools 
like GenISISWeb. Using GenISISWeb it is possible to create web based 
Digital Libraries, to create WebOPAC of your library which is in CDS/ISIS, 
to create electronic Journals gateways for your subscribed/print journals 
etc.

Based on the practical application of GenISISWeb for more than 2 years in 
creating Multimedia Digital Library, Web OPACs, e-journals Gateways, 
Software Library etc we are organising a practical workshop on  'BUILDING 
WEB BASED INFORMATION SYSTEMS USING GENISISWEB' at IIITM-K 
Thiruvananthapuram,Kerala during 11-12 April 2007 as per the details given below.  For 
more details and registration form visit workshop website 
http://www.iiitmk.ac.in/genisis
=================================
WORKSHOP ON
BUILDING WEB BASED INFORMATION SYSTEMS USING GENISISWEB

Organised by

Digital Library & Information Services
Indian Institute of  Information Technology  & Management ? Kerala 
(IIITM-K), Thiruvananthapuram

Date: 11 - 12 April 2007

Time 9.30 AM - 4.30 PM?

Venue: IIITM-K, Technopark Campus, Thiruvananthapuram ? 695581

?About the Workshop

Information and Communication Technology has made profound impact on the 
society in general and in the field of library and information science in 
particular. Availability of modern ICT infrastructure forced the libraries 
to offer many of their services over network, especially over the Web. 
Emergence of e-only resources, requirement from users for e-resources, and 
availability of suitable communication mechanisms etc have also compelled 
to provide electronic information services. In order to provide such 
speedy services, libraries need to equip themselves with different tools, 
which enable web-based information dissemination.
?Provision of Web based information service is costly and some times 
becomes unaffordable to many Libraries. Alternatively they may depend on 
free/low cost solutions for web based information services. The workshop 
will orient and train the participants in establishing and managing such 
services. The practice sessions will be based on GenIsisWeb. GenISIS is a 
state-of-the-art package used to create Web interface for CDS/ISIS 
databases (or it's different versions) for developing applications like 
Digital Libraries, Web based catalogues (WebOPAC), e-Journal Gateways etc. 
GENISIS is based on the Web CDS/ISIS interface WWWISIS by BIREME.
?This Workshop focuses on giving a practical orientation to GenISISWeb for 
creating web based Information Service. Participation is expected from 
Librarians, LIS Students, Academia and Industry.

?Objectives

To give practical orientation to:
?      Develop bibliographic database using WinISIS
?      To publish WinISIS Database over the Web
?      To develop Digital Libraries using GenISISWeb
?      To develop Web OPAC using GenISISWeb.
?      To develop 'e-Journals Gateway' using GenISISWeb
?      To learn data exchange using IsisASCII.
?      To master development and maintenance of Integrated Online Library 
Information Systems.
Participants are expected to be proficient in using GenISISWeb after this 
workshop.

Registration Fee:

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Single search is a need of the hour
Message-ID: <001101c76215$d45c4300$0f01a8c0@rajesh>

Hello folks, 

The time has come for libraries, too, to negotiate for rights to index full text locally. Have a look the article on "Metasearch like Google" http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6413442.html based on the following project:

Ontario Scholars Portal
The Scholars Portal Project of the Ontario Council of University Libraries aims to bring together a number of key digital services for member libraries. Alan Darnell, manager of the project, says they decided that "single search" was a key service to be provided and that for the reasons of performance, reliability, and flexibility, local-loading of article metadata was the best approach. Darnell says that with Google Scholar, "It's not always clear who the publishers are, the scope of the content [or] the depth of the content.... Even if Google Scholar had the coverage, we'd still feel the responsibility to do the local loading. I don't think there's any reason we can't do it better [than Google]." 

Darnell says they have succeeded in creating a metasearch environment through local loading that works better and more powerfully than typical cross-search: "In a [cross-search] environment, after you've done that first search, you need to drop into the native interface to do anything else. In our [locally indexed] single search, [users] can stay within our environment longer, although eventually they might still need to drop into the native interface." The Scholars Portal single search also allows member libraries to create custom subject or disciplinary "clusters" by selecting from available databases that have been locally indexed. 

The Scholars Portal single search is only in its beginning stages, but Darnell says that initial evidence suggests success: "Our usage numbers show that if you make it easier to search, users get presented to the journal literature in greater numbers than they would if they only had the specialized search engine. There's always time later on to teach them specialized searching if that's what they want to do. I don't see any disadvantages in lowering that learning curve." Just as importantly, with the local indexing technique, the power and features of a metasearch tool can be significantly increased, especially if you can get access to full text to load as an aid to the searching algorithms: "As we do get more and more full text, we will be able to get meaningful relevancy ranking, useful clustering, more advanced presentation of result sets," and other advanced features that will serve more needs without requiring the user switch to a "native" interface.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] JPEG PHOTO FORMAT ON ITS WAY OUT?
Message-ID: <OFEBA70749.E3E16FAA-ON65257299.0027A3D0-65257299.00283846@caritor.com>

Microsoft Corp. will soon submit a new photo format to an international 
standards organization that it says offers higher quality images with 
better compression, the company said on Thursday.

The format, HD Photo -- recently renamed from Windows Media Photo -- is 
taking aim at the JPEG format, a 15-year old technology still widely used 
in digital cameras and image applications.

Both formats take images and use compression to make the file sizes 
smaller so more photos can fit on a memory card. During compression, 
however, the quality of the photo tends to degrade.

Microsoft said HD Photo's lightweight algorithm causes less damage to 
photos during compression, with higher-quality images that are half the 
size of JPEG.

The format can also accommodate "lossless" and "lossy" compression, two 
methods of compressing photo data with different effects on image quality. 
Microsoft said adjustments can be made to color balance and exposure 
settings that won't discard or truncate data that occurs with other bitmap 
formats.

Respected All

The OCKHAM Initiative seeks to promote the development of digital libraries via collaboration between librarians and digital library researchers. By promoting simple, open approaches and standards for digital library tools, services, and content, the gap between digital library development and the adoption of digital library systems by the traditional library community will be bridged.
   
  MyLibrary at OCKHAM  MyLibrary at OCKHAM is a demonstration of how to make National Science Foundation Digital Library content more available through traditional libraries venues. This goal is accomplished in four steps: 1) create a framework for storing relevent content using MyLibrary, 2) harvest content from the NSDL OAI Repository, and save it to the underlying MyLibrary database, 3) write reports against the database in the form of browsable lists, and 4) index the content to provide searchable interfaces.
  Demo: http://mylibrary.ockham.org/

The national Knowledge Commission Report and the Working Group Report on 
libraries are available at http://knowledgecommission.gov.in/

The content of the Reports indicates an emerging digital revolution in the 
library sector in India.In this scenario, the librarians need to emerge 
themselves as Knowledge Managers without which they will be by-passed by 
other knowledge workers.

Our library schools should now focus more on practically useful 
information technology content and tools in their library educational 
programmes. The present situation leaves much to be desired.

Digital Document Archiving with Winisis/ Genisis and Digital Library 
Development with Greenstone are the comparatively easier applications for 
digital knowledge management in our libraries. There are some other 
easy-to-use applications that need to be brought to the fore. We, the 
librarians, should focus more on them with enthusiasm to become better 
Knowledge Managers of our times.

Tenth National Convention on Knowledge, Library and Information Networking 

				NACLIN 2007

			  November 20-23, 2007


			    	Organized by 


		 DELNET- Developing Library Network

				   
Venue  : India International Centre, 40 Lodi Estate, New Delhi-110003 

 Theme  : Libraries without boundaries : Reaching the Unreachable in
Knowledge Era  

The enormous growth in the ICT has made the World as Global village and there 
is an apparent death of distance. The convergence of the computing and 
communications has also brought a radical change in the way libraries and 
information centres have been imparting information to the users. There is a 
paradigm shift from the information based services to the Knowledge based 
services as Knowledge is considered as a most powerful fact in the development
 of an economy of a nation and is the fourth wave experienced by the human 
lives. In these changing scenarios, the libraries have to take a proactive 
approach and to work for this tectonic change that the Knowledge Society will 
encompass in its domain. The library professionals can no longer keep 
themselves in the insulated state away from the challenges which needs to be 
addressed by them. The Government of India has constituted under the National
Knowledge Commission a special group on Libraries and Informatics and has
 proposed a knowledge based society and the emergence of libraries and
network centres as one of the contributing entities for developing a knowledge
 based society. There is a greater need to provide the citizen focused 
services and the library services must focus on the common man and we must 
ensure that the libraries are able to bridge up the gap between the two tiered 
society of ?Knowledge haves? and ?knowledge have-nots?

It is with this concern that the National Convention on Knowledge, Library and
 Information Networking (NACLIN 2007) being organized by DELNET at New Delhi
 in November 2007 to debate various issues on the subject. 

NACLIN was conceived in the year 1998 and since then Nine National Conventions 
have been organized in different parts of the country in collaboration with
 the institutions of great repute. DELNET is celebrating the 10th NACLIN event
 by hosting it themselves at New Delhi.



DELNET - Developing Library Network

   Dear Sir or Madam,

In cooperation with the INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF LIBRARY ASSOCIATIONS 
AND INSTITUTIONS (IFLA), a new edition of the "World Guide to Library, 
Archive, and Information Science Education" is scheduled for publication 
in August 2007. This comprehensive directory lists professional education 
and training programmes world-wide at a tertiary level of education or 
higher. Entries are free of charge.

The success of this project relies substantially on your contribution. 
Please help to provide a new up-to-date basis for the enhancement of 
international exchange on professional qualification and cooperation.

We are making progress with our updating survey. We would like to thank 
all those who have already replied to our earlier correspondence, those 
who have sent information details for our project, and those who have 
promised to do so.

Shortly we will start to mail our detailed questionnaires to all education 
institutions world-wide where professional education and training 
programmes in the field of library, archive and information science are 
carried out.

With this message we would like to encourage:

   - institutions wishing to receive the questionnaire in order to provide 
up-to-date information regarding their programmes: Please get in touch 
with the editorial team as soon as possible, you can mail to 
axel.schniederjuergen at saur.de or send a fax to this number: +49 89 76 90 
21 55. The basic information we require is the name of your institution 
and your programme(s), the person in charge and a personal e-mail address 
to which the detailed questionnaire will be mailed. Please note that your 
information will be included in the database free of charge.

   - recipients of the data control sheets distributed earlier this year: 
In case you haven't returned your reply in time for the deadline, please 
do so as soon as possible. We would still like to take into account your 
feedback in order to reach the appropriate recipients with our

Hi!!

I am surprised to see that an MLIS degree or equivalent is an added advantage for the post of Referene LIBRARIAN not the basic requirement??

There have been numerous discussions in this forum to establish the relevance of librarianship in the modern Googled era, then why don't we support it when it comes to recruitment at suitable positions.

best regards,
Aparajita

Dear Aprajita,
 
You have a valid question but our requirements are a bit different, hence we have to choose between someone knowing German or having the subject qualifications. 
 
The Reference Librarian working in Max Mueller Bhavan  will be mainly responsible for providing information about Germany, its culture etc. and to be able to do that, it is very important that he/she has German language expertise and knows Germany reasonably well. The reason being, most of the German reference books, websites as well as other sources of information, which such a person would use are in German language. A library science professional will need min. two to three years time to pick up the kind of language expertise we need for this job and given a choice, we would not want to wait that long to start providing effective information services. 
 
An ideal combination for us would be a librarian knowing German Language but unfortunately, so far we have not been successful in finding such a person. Library Science professionals are most welcome to apply (this was also the reason for posting it on LIS-Forum) but as written in the job-posting,  first preference would be given to candidates well versed with German Language and Culture.
 
Best regards
 
Renu Seth

Dear All,

As per the General Financial  Rule (GFR) loss of 3 volumes per one thousand volumes issued/consulted in a year may be taken as reasonable and can be written of by the competent authority.

I would like to know is there any standard format available to write off the lost books. ?

    Respected All

www.indexdata.com/opencontent
Index Data has launched a new service to help libraries expose open content resources to their users. The initial phase of this service offers ebooks, open access digital repositories, encyclopedia articles, and human-reviewed Internet resources. This service is being offered without charge. It is powered by Zebra and Metaproxy, two open source software programs developed by Index Data.
    Using standard search protocols such as SRU and Z39.50, libraries will be able to make open content part of their own information portals, federated search systems, catalogs etc. Additional background information and connection instructions are available at www.indexdata.com/opencontent. The initial open content being offered consists of the following resources:
  
   Ebooks from the Open Content      Alliance
   Ebooks from Project Gutenberg
   Internet resources selected      for review by the Open Directory Project
   OAI-compliant resources, the      metadata of which has been harvested by OAIster
   Wikipedia articles
  "We will continue to seek out new resources that we can enable for access in this way, and we welcome suggestions and participation from others," noted Hammer. "We encourage all of you to let us know how you are using these services. And if you have ideas for new resources or can help us with metadata harvesting or assist this initiative in any other way, we welcome your involvement."
  As an example of the benefits of being able to metasearch open resources, we are making freely available a pre-release demo version of Index Data's MasterKey search tool that has these open content resources as targets

Dear Ms.Prafulla,

     http://www.freewebs.com provides free web hosting, which is quite reliable.  I have one more suggestion.  If you wish to build a personal website or a website for your library with minimum requirements, you could try Google Page Creator.  All you need is a gmail account.  It gives you 100 mb of space for each website.  And, you can have not one, but many sites !!!  Log on to Google Page Creator at http://pages.google.com

     There's a visual tutorial on how to build a website using Google Page Creator at http://comeletslearnit.googlpages.com on the "resources" page.  You can download the (flash) tutorial and watch.  Please send your comments and suggestions to me after watching the tutorial.

Thanks & Regards,

At last, scientist's kin get relief  

http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/mar232007/index212272007323.asp
 
The Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal (MACT) awarded the family of Dr
Tarikere Basappa Rajashekar, the well-known scientist from Bangalore, a
compensation of Rs 32.78 lakh.  
 
It was a long wait for the family of Dr Tarikere Basappa Rajashekar, the
well-known scientist from Bangalore who was killed in a road accident,
but their patience paid off when the Motor Accidents Claims Tribunal
(MACT) awarded them a compensation of Rs 32.78 lakh, in a judgment
delivered on Thursday. 

Dr Rajashekhar who was the Associate Chairman of the National Centre for
Science Information (NCSI) at the Indian Institute of Science, near
Budihal cross, Nelamangala, near Bangalore, was killed when his Maruthi
van was hit by a tractor on June 3, 2005. His wife, Parvathi Rajshekhar,
son Amith and daughter Anusha moved the MACT seeking compensation. Their
advocate Hanuma Reddy told the tribunal that the deceased was 51 years
old and had 11 years of service left and that he was earning Rs 40,800 a
month. 

Justice Talikote while ordering the insurance company to pay
compensation of Rs 32.78 lakh with an interest of 6 per cent from the
date the case was filed. The compensation claim was made about a year
ago by the family and the entire amount - along with an interest of 6
per cent - works out to about Rs 36 lakh. 

Reddy said that a decision on whether to seek enhancement of
compensation would be taken after going through the judgment and
consulting the family members. 

Dr Rajashekhar, known as Raja to his friends, played a role in the
creation of the nation's first computerised current awareness service in
the early 1980s at NCSI. He set up India's first interoperable
institutional open access archive.

The World Institute of Sustainable Energy (WISE) is a fast growing, 
not-for-profit organization set up in June 2004, with the primary 
objective of promoting sustainable energy, energy conservation, and 
sustainable development.

In particular, the institution is committed towards addressing the 
shortcomings existing in the renewable energy sector in India, viz. lack

support, lack of qualified manpower, and lack of critical awareness that 
would lead to the transition to a sustainable energy-based economy.

WISE has recently drafted a model draft renewable energy law for India 
and is advocating its adoption by Parliament. The activities of WISE thus 
aim to provide a major impetus to the development of the renewable energy 
sector in all Indian states.

WISE is headed by its founder Director General, G M Pillai, a senior IAS 
officer of the rank of Additional Secretary to the Government of India. He 
was formerly Director General, Maharashtra Energy Development Agency

WISE LIBRARY: The WISE Library and Documentation Centre is a 
one-of-its-kind, unique, specialized information centre that houses a 
comprehensive collection of books, journals, audio-video resources, etc.,

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0703261621430.4064@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in>

>From Peter Suber:

NIH Director believes an OA mandate is now necessary

Elias Zerhouni, Director of the NIH, told the Senate
last week that the NIH public access policy should be
strengthened from a request to a requirement.  He was
testifying before the committee responsible for
funding the agency.  Quoting the Alliance for Taxpayer
Access:

During testimony before the Senate Labor/HHS
Subcommittee on Appropriations, NIH Director Zerhouni
responded to a series of questions on the need for
public access to NIH-funded research results. The
questions were made by Subcommittee Chair Senator
Harkin (D-IA). Dr. Zerhouni reiterated the need for
publicly funded research to be made available to
advance the conduct of science, and strongly asserted
that the NIH the voluntary policy was not working. He
made clear that the policy should be made mandatory. A
video of Dr. Zerhouni's testimony is available through
the Committee Web site. (Note that the link launches a
Real Media file. The relevant discussion begins at
1:20.)

Peter Suber's Comment.  This is big.  Nearly a year
ago, in April 2006, Dr. Zerhouni told the same
committee that "it seems the voluntary policy is just
not enough".  Now his position is considerably
stronger.  As I transcribe the video, he said:  "We
need to make [public access] a condition of federal
fund granting....A mandatory policy seems to be the
one that will be necessary for us to achieve our
goals."

Remember that in July 2004, Congress asked for a
mandate and the NIH chose to adopt a request instead.
Also remember that the policy is merely an in-house
agency rule that the NIH can adopt or modify without a
Congressional directive.

Dr. Zerhouni:  Now that you have decided that a
mandate is necessary, I hope you will exercise your
authority as Director to adopt it.  The decision will
bring large and lasting benefits to researchers in
medicine and related fields, medical patients,
practicing physicians, taxpayers, and the agency
itself.

Message-ID: <OFC9D0B452.079BA9F2-ON652572AC.001E43B8-652572AC.001EFC53@caritor.com>

In Google Inc.?s vision of the future, people will be able to translate 
documents instantly into the world?s main languages, with machine logic, 
not expert linguists, leading the way.

Google?s approach, called statistical machine translation, differs from 
past efforts in that it forgoes language experts who program grammatical 
rules and dictionaries into computers.

Instead, they feed documents humans have already translated into two 
languages and then rely on computers to discern patterns for future 
translations.
While the quality is not perfect, it is an improvement on previous efforts 
at machine translation, said Franz Och, 35, a German who heads Google?s 
translation effort at its Mountain View headquarters south of San 
Francisco.
?Some people that are in machine translations for a long time and then see 
our Arabic-English output, then they say, that?s amazing, that?s a 
breakthrough,? said Och.?And then other people who have never seen what 
machine translation was ... they read through the sentence and they say, 
the first mistake here in line five -- it doesn?t seem to work because 
there is a mistake there.?
But for some tasks, a mostly correct translation may be good enough.
Speaking over lunch this week in a Google cafeteria famed for offering 
free, healthy food, Och showed a translation of an Arabic Web news site 
into easily digestible English.
Two Google workers speaking Russian at a nearby table said, however, that 
a translation of a news site from English into their native tongue was 
understandable but a bit awkward.

Och, who speaks German, English and some Italian, feeds hundreds of 
millions of words from parallel texts such as Arabic and English into the 
computer, using United Nations and European Union documents as key 
sources.

Message-ID: <20070329065751.89C6124753@ws5-3.us4.outblaze.com>

Dear Colleagues

Our library is facing a serious threat from our users. Few students and faculty use to underline and make markings on books issued from the library. Kindly suggest a suitable punishment for these users.


Also like to know what are the steps taken by my colleagues against this activities.

We welcome our new members to Engg-Lib-Forum (Engineering College Librarians
Forum), from India and elsewhere.

About the ELF. . . the Engineering Libraries forum, consists of librarians
and information professionals concerned with the support of engineering
education. We are involved in the provision of library services and the
development of innovative approaches to networking information services. Our
role is to promote the role of the library as an integral part of
engineering education.

In ELF we are at once pragmatic and futuristic. We help colleagues to cope
with the everyday problems of library management through services such as
our duplicate journal exchange. We also are pioneering the development of
digital libraries through our work with technical publishers, universities
and computer companies. Our members contribute to the technical literature
and are regular speakers at meetings such as the National Online Meeting.
The future holds dramatic change for engineering libraries and ELF will be
there to help mold those institutions to best serve the coming generations
of engineering students.

Come join us! Share your experiences, concerns, and innovative ideas in
ongoing discussions of best practices. Together let us learn how to evaluate
practices, add value, enhance performance and profitability by choosing best
practices and re-using that fit our situations and organizations.

Hope to see lots of discussions happening in this forum.

Many thanks for the honour and privilege of belonging to your list-serve.
Please let me know if it is possible to access material to teach basic keyboard skills to disadvantaged undergraduates. Please keep in mind that these are young adults who have embarked on distance tertiary education and who have, for various reasons, never touched a keyboard before.  They visit the main campus library which is well-equipped with an electronic learning centre.  
We do have a program but I am always open to other methods of teaching.

Amiably,

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Regarding Deep Web
Message-ID: <20070330073735.23317.qmail@webmail52.rediffmail.com>

  

Dear Rajashekaran,

a.  The Deep Web is nothing but the portion of the World Wide Web which has not been indexed by surface search engines such as Google due to technical reasons or due to limitations because of policy matters. Many specialized search tools/search engines exist for exploring the deep web. Once we have found the right search tool/engine, same search strategies can be employed as in the case of general search engines; but the hard part is to find the appropriate deep web search source.

     For information regarding using surface search engines to find deep web content please visit http://21cif.imsa.edu/tutorials/micro/mm/invisible/index_html?b_start:int=5.

b.  There is nothing that can be termed as ? the most popular and useful deep web search engine?. There is no Google equivalent in the Deep Web. The index base of deep web search engines is limited and often restricted to specialized databases and other  non-html formats such as PDF and PPTs. Further, it seems, the index of each deep web search engine is unique in its own way and therefore it is next to impossible to find a panacea for search problems when it comes to Deep Net. The way left is to identify the appropriate web source/search engine and do search there. For example, for health related information, one can take help of deep search engines such as mammahealth (www.mammahealth.com/), closurelook (www.closerlooksearch.com/) or specialized health databases. 

However, the following deep web search engines can be tried:
i. Direct Search: 		http://www.freepint.com/gary/direct.htm
ii. CompletePlanet	          http:// www.completeplanet.com
iii. Turbo 10: 		            http://turbo10.com
iv. Incywincy:                     http://www.incywincy.com/

A list of such tools/engines can be found at 
www.trinity.wa.edu.au/plduffyrc/web/invis/invisible.htm

Nothing definite can be told about the  popularity of deep web search engines because the existence of deep web itself is not known to the majority of the Internet users.

c.  http://www.llrx.com/features/deepweb.htm and deepwebresearch.blogspot.com/ offer a rich source of links to deep web related topics. The links lead to highly informative sources and cover the best that is available on the WWW about the deep web.
