The dates of the conference and the post-conference tutorial will be as follows: - International Conference on Social Network Analysis and Applications (SNA 2009), 28-29 January, 2009 - Post-Conference Tutorial/Workshop on SNA Methods and Applications, 30-31,January 2009 The objectives of SNA-2009 - Impart training to the learners on tools and techniques of SNA - Discuss applications of social network analysis in various fields International Conference: Papers on applications, theoretical and methodological issues of SNA are welcome. Presenters will have the opportunity to make their paper available to a broader audience on the conference website. Language of the International Conference: English Who should attend? We welcome contributions from advanced researchers as well as the students. SNA has wide application in different fields. To understand the complexities of the networks, besides having knowledge of the subject domain, it demands understanding of graph theory, statistics, social physics, simulations, modeling etc. Having to analyze large networks, computer-centric operations are necessary as manual analysis cannot grasp the complexities of such networks. Those are interested in learning and applying SNA in their respective field of activities can participate, especially in the Post-Conference Tutorial Workshop. However, prior knowledge will be of help to take up in depth analysis using SNA tools. Important deadlines: - Abstract submission (about 300 words): October 31, 2008 - Acceptance notification: November 15, 2008 - Full paper submission: December 15, 2008 - Registration: December 31, 2008 Additional information will be provided on the conference website: http://www.nistads.res.in/images/seminar/callforpapers-SNA.pdf Abstract can be submitted to: SNA Conference Chair National Institute of Science Technology & Development Studies (NISTADS) K.

There is an increasing realization on the part of corporate sector organizations to harness knowledge and intellectual capital as their most valuable resources. The focus of knowledge management has also enlarged from technological aspects to human and cultural aspects. The importance of transforming organizations into learning organizations has become increasingly evident to the business leaders. Promoting innovations through knowledge management and management of intellectual property rights related issues, both at national as well as corporate levels, have also taken centre-stage in today?s increasingly competitive economies. The applications of Knowledge Management have also substantially permeated into the development sector, thanks to the early initiatives taken by pioneers such as the World Bank. The emergence of concepts such as Knowledge Cities in the recent years reflects the trend towards blending the disciplines of Knowledge Management with other disciplines such as Urban Planning. At another level, the valuation of intellectual capital and its reporting have attracted considerable attention of the researchers, industry and even administrators in the governments in different parts of the world. The proposed International Conference on Knowledge Management and Intellectual Capital will aim at providing an overview of the current trends in these fields through conference papers, research findings, case studies and innovative practices shared by academicians, industry professionals, knowledge management professionals in development agencies and research scholars.

But organizations must understand how open source is useful for them with maximum values and minimum risks. OSS is not always cost benefinificial and convenient. There are diffrent parameters to evaluate a software. It may be that properietary software may increase productivity and provide overall benifits to the organization. Even Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is more in case of mission critical applications using OSS. Of course, commecial establishments are facing challenges with Open Acess and Open Source softwares. But according to a survey by a renowned research company Gartner, they are not still lagging behind. Future is not clear. There are thosands of commercial and open source softwares. Unless somebody stamps the product, it may not be safe to use the software. I see it as dangerous situation and quetsion mark on the open source softwares with a case like Dspace and DOAJ charging. It is fact that nothing is free in this world. Somebody has to invest for sustainability and support. It is diffrent thing that for niche applications or case study or learning purposes, we may use OSS and cost will be negligible. Although throughout world many mission critical applications are also using using open-source softwares. Even Linux has diffrent flavours. Initially everything was free. But now RH Linux is being mainained and supported by Red Hat on commercial basis. PostgreSQL is being supported by commercial companies on heavy charges. Similar is also the case of MySQL. with regards P K Upadhyay OIC Library National Informatics Centre New Delhi http://mcitconsortium.nic.in ----- Original Message ----- From: Vinit Date: Friday, October 3, 2008 6:09 pm Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] DSpace and DOAJ charging membership fees - Whither Open Access and Open Source - makes you wonder and ponder To: lis-forum at ncsi.iisc.ernet.in > Dear Prof. Shalini, > As we know very well that every software development needs monitory support and from the provided link it seems that no where they are asking for paid membership they are just asking for sponsors(optional for users) so that they can keep on the services to the community and it is normal in every open source project one can see the examples from Mozilla or Apache foundations .

It is part of Greenstone documentation. The document describes the format differences of the scanned images, the range of cost of the scanners starting from a few thousands to around 50 lakhs and the sequential stages in digitization,by using even volunteers. The authors say that Fine Reader is the cheap and reasonable OCR software for digitization. The document is the fall-out of the authors experience in creation of a fully searchable Greenstone digital / cd-rom library titled 'Community Development Library' containing 1785 books of around 1.6 lakhs pages.

MacKie-Mason (Arthur W. Burks Collegiate Professor of Information and Computer Science, School of Information, University of Michigan). In the late 1990's, researchers and digital library production staff at the University of Michigan collaborated on deploying the Pricing Economic Access to Knowledge project (PEAK), a full-scale production-quality digital access system to enable usage of content from all of Elsevier's (then about 1200) scholarly journals, and at the same time to conduct a field experiment to answer various questions about the interplay between pricing models and usage. The experiment culminated in a lively conference that engaged scholars, library practioners and publishers. This volume captures some of the most interesting and provocative discussions to come out of that conference. PEAK was a ground-breaking effort in its day, and references to the project have continued over time. It raised important questions about the potential for highly functional journal content and new economic models of publishing. In today?s context of socially-enabled systems and open-access publishing, the motivating questions of PEAK remain relevant. , provides academic publishing services that are responsive to the needs of both producers and users, that foster a sustainable economic model for academic publishing, and that support institutional control of intellectual assets. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Training for Information Literacy This workshop is not designed to raise the level of awareness of the general population as to what Information Literacy (IL) is all about. Nor is a meeting of world experts convened to foster the academic interchange of theories and ideas. Instead, this workshop is aimed at training particular kinds of professionals ? those who are employed in what are sometimes called the "helping professions" such as teachers - who may already be acknowledged to be, or who wish to become, a fully qualified expert IL trainer, either as a generalist, or as a specialist in a given discipline or sector that matches one of the "ultimate beneficiary target audiences" such as women, the disabled and the unemployed. Aim and Scope The main aim of this Workshop is to provide Information Literacy educators and trainers with specialized, authoritative, comprehensive and up-to-date training. This workshop would bring together experts and participants from south and central Asia to discuss and share information, experiences and expertise on current issues, concerns, teaching and learning approaches, methods and models, and professional "best practices" regarding Information Literacy education and training. This workshop aims to train the trainers/instructors in Information Literacy to enable them to share their knowledge, experiences and skills to train the stakeholders at the grass roots. Resource Persons Expert presenters, who are established and experienced authorities in the Information Literacy field, will present the content at the workshops, and organize the participant discussions.

Every tax-payer has an indisputable right to be informed and use the benefits of researches which are based upon state funding. It is well understood that the interest of the creators/authors/research scholars as the original creator of a piece of intellectual output should be not militated against. But this much sought after protection can be best served through acknowledgement. The over hyped IPR issue is more for the monetary benefit of the commercial publishing houses who mint money rather than the research community. The greater your visibility through Web hosting, voluntary contributions to the Institutional Repositories (IR) and free access, greater is the chance of you being noticed, used and cited by the fellow scholars as the experience from the IR operating the world over has revealed. Universities and Research Centers in the intellectually advanced countries have already realized that the development of a knowledge society can be achieved only through free and unrestricted access to scientific publications and community participation in academics and research. Yet unfortunately this philosophy has not caught the needful attention of the academic/research institutions/organization in our country. Couldn't the authorization and funding bodies like the UGC/AICTE/MCI/PCI/NAC etc. lay down certain basic criterion for allocating reorganization/funding/standardization etc in the light of the examples to be seen in the practices of the best academic/research institutions from over the world?

Although the library is 204 years old, its managing committee felt the need to get international standardisation to meet growing competition from the Internet. "We want more young faces to come and use this historic library. It is free of cost and we have the best old and new books," said Aroon Tikekar, president of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai. To get the new ISO 9001 certification under the American National Accreditation Board, every employee underwent training under the Toyota Production System method, which helps streamlining processes - from better organising the catalogue with coloured tags to creating a calendar for housekeeping. It was the idea of Sharad Gadgil, finance secretary of the society, to get the certification. "We approached the Narottam Saxena Foundation and they willingly funded the audit process, which cost around Rsl lakh," he said. The process, carried out by Ace Management Consul tants, took nine months to train every employee from the base level to the core group. Keen to assess what change the ISO certification has brought about, honorary secretary of the Asiatic Society, Vidya Vencatesan, has decided carry out a survey to get feedback from everyday visitors. Ariandra Riera, a Spanish tourist, said, "This library has beautiful architecture and is exceptionally large as compared to the ones in Spain. An ISO certification will help get more people to use it, especially foreigners like me." For now, the future of the library looks bright with the Tatas, Godrejes and Rajya Sabha MPs coming forward with funds. Rajya Sabha members Dr Alexandra and Shyaam Benegal have already sanctioned Rs25 lakh and Rsll lakh for a fire fighting system and research centre respectively." -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is to be noted that we all imbibed the popular theories put forth by DR.S.RANGANATHAN and he is still considered as the father of library science in our Country. The universities in kerala also followed the same theories of DR.SR.in their syllabus for imparting library science to their students. The Distance Education Council has also approved the degrees and diplomas offered by the universities in Tamilnadu. Kindly share with other LIS professionals and try to send the message to the Universities concerned in Tamilnadu and in Kerala. If there are any specific orders for recognition, please send to the LIS professionals. If not, do the needful for treating the degrees and diplomas as equivalent to the programmes offered by the Universities in Kerala. As we all know very well that we, the LIS professionals spare our whole time for the development of the science, we should stand with the professionals those who are suffering by the issue for thier livelihood. with regards, Sakthivelu.V, Librarian, College of Engineering Munnar, Kerala. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The old time tested method of binding can extend the life of the document by 5 to 10 years in the case of academic libraries. Still if you are very interested, please visit www.gresswell.com. They are the world leaders in library materials. The cost of book coverings / vistafoils are very high. In Trivandrum, the erstwhile British Library was using this extensively for the physical processing of documents. But the best, cheapest and durable solution is binding.

But this is a costly and time consuming proposition. Easier alternative is lamination with tissue paper and cellulose acetate foil which we procured from the National Archive of India.

Vimal Kumar V. Asian School of Business Trivandrum. www.asbindia.in/vmal I am a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Information Management at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, and my research topic is an investigation of factors that influence participant satisfaction with library or information management free/open source software projects. Some library-related examples are DSpace, EPrints, Koha, Evergreen, Greenstone, and MyLibrary. More general information management software includes web content management software such as Drupal, wiki software such as MediaWiki or PmWiki, or blogging software such as WordPress. If you use or are involved with a relevant project, I would like to invite you to complete an online survey. I am especially interested in hearing from people in a range of roles, for example user, developer, release manager, or system administrator. I am keen to have responses from people who have had either positive or negative experiences with free/open source software, to ensure that I get a perspective on factors that diminish satisfaction, as well as those that contribute toward it. The results of this project will help developers of free/open source application software projects identify opportunities to increase user satisfaction, and it will also help users identify ways in which they might contribute to projects. I expect the survey to take between 15 and 20 minutes of your time. You may receive several copies of this message, since I am sending it to a number of project and library technology email discussion lists; however, I ask that you only complete the survey once. If you have colleagues who you think would be interested in completing it, please forward this invitation to them. The survey is available at: http://surveys.sim.vuw.ac.nz/survey.aspx?surveyid=205 It will be available until Friday, 14 November, 2008. I will post a summary of the results to relevant project and library technology email discussion lists, once the thesis is finished in mid-2009. A copy of the thesis will be deposited in the Victoria University of Wellington Institutional Repository (http://researcharchive.vuw.ac.nz/). If you have any questions about this survey, please contact me at brenda.chawner at vuw.ac.nz or phone +64 4 463 5780.

The need for developing standards for interoperability among various e-Governance applications has a great relevance for ensuring success of National e-Governance Plan (NeGP). The government has already created a draft policy, which is open for discussion and feedback from various stakeholder groups (see http://egovstandards.gov.in/public-review/egscontent.2008-08-22.3525430649/base_view). ? Keeping in view the importance of the subject, we have decided to host a series of consultations to generate awareness and to get inputs. The first national consultation in the series is scheduled to be hosted as a dedicated session on "Open Solutions for e-Governance" during Skoch Summit 2008 India @ Work (www.indiaatwork.in) on October 23, 2008 at India Habitat Center from 2.00 pm - 5.30 pm. In this round presentations are expected from Red Hat, TCS, Department of IT, NIC, IBM & Sun Microsystems etc. Since large number of domain experts and users are traveling from across the country to attend this summit and given that the policy is open for public review, this may be an ideal occasion to get a first hand feel. Some of the issues that this consultation seeks to focus on include: 1. Rationale and implications of the draft policy on promotion of e-governance in India ? Feedback and suggestions. 2. What could be the institutional mechanisms for supporting open solution implementations in the government? 3. What are the best examples of open solutions that are worth sharing and replicating everywhere and how can such a sharing be enabled? 4. How to further enhance the skill base for open solution implementations? ? By hosting a series of multi stakeholder consultations on the subject, we propose to facilitate a deeper understanding and learning of the issues, ideate on solutions and provide an informed participatory feedback into policy from an independent platform. Pre-registered delegates for the summit need not register separately for this consultation. Those who have not registered for the summit and are interested in this session only may request an invitation by sending an email to info at skoch.in latest by 17:30 hrs on 21 October 2008. ?

The chief guest Shri B.R Badhri spoke abut the history of RFID technology, its relevance in different industries and its use in libraries. He also spoke about Library Management Systems, their functional as well as technical aspects. How RFID technology works, along with its uses in cost effectiveness, multiple languages, book drop unit, improved services through prior reservation and prevention of theft were addressed. RFID is an off-shoot of barcoding which has been around for 40 years. A chip embedded in a book can have details such as author, title, subject, edition etc and this information can be accessed at the circulation desk itself. The technology enables automatic identification of objects. In the case of libraries, it is applied to books journals, CDs etc. Chairperson and faculty advisor for MULISSA, Dr Khaiser Nikam briefed about the history of the Department and the role of Dr. P.K. Patil as founding member. Mr Shrinivas Prasad from Bahadur Institute of Management Science was also present. Faculty, research scholars and students were also present. -- Shivakumar H.R.

If approved by a federal court, the deal, struck after two years of negotiations, will let individuals and institutions buy online access to copyrighted, out-of-print works through Google, and will provide free online views of them at public libraries. Titles that are still in print will be available only if publishers and authors agree to include them. "It may be the biggest book deal in U.S. history," said Paul Aiken, executive director of the Authors Guild. Google has already scanned seven million books for its Google Book Search program and plans to make many millions more available. Only Web users in the U.S. will have access to the new services. The settlement resolves a copyright-infringement lawsuit against Google filed by the Authors Guild more than three years ago in U.S. District Court in New York, as well as a separate suit filed by the Association of American Publishers on behalf of five leading publishers. Terms call for Google to pay $125 million to settle claims from authors and publishers for its earlier digital-scanning efforts, cover legal fees and es tablish a Book Rights Registry that will oversee the new accord. The establishment of a registry will enable rights holders?be they publishers or authors?to register their works and subsequently receive payment when their titles are used online. be they publishers or authors?to register their works and subsequently receive payment when their titles are used online. "What this does is breathe new life into millions of books without jeopardizing rights holders," said Richard Sarnoff, chairman of the Association of American Publishers and cochairman of *Bertelsmann Inc., *the U.S. holding company of *Bertelsmann AG.* Books under copyright but out of print will be available for sale in an online version unless the rights holder objects. The deal signals that Google, which has long argued it can index content for its search en gine without the cooperation of media companies, is taking a more conciliatory stance. But Google cautions against applying the same model to similar disputes, including *Viacom Inc.s *$1 billion copyright-infringement suit against Googles online-video service YouTube. "I would not read anything into the structure," said David Drummond, Googles senior vice president of corporate development and chief legal officer. With the agreement, Google is taking a rare step into the business of selling access to media content. Google will enhance its book-search product, which has struggled to gain traction, with a storefront where consumers can buy titles to read online. Prices will be set by the publisher or by a Google-designed algorithm, with the rights holder getting 63% and Google getting 37% of the revenue. The move breaks with Googles usual approach of selling advertising against digital content and sharing that revenue with partners like newspapers and media companies. It also brings Google into potential competition with digital-book retailers like *Amazon.com Inc.* "Its a new model for us," said Mr. Drummond, who nonetheless played down any competition with Amazon, noting that Googles main objective is to build a better search product. Amazon declined to comment. Public libraries will be offered a free online portal to view the digitized titles, while colleges and universities will be offered a subscription-fee service that will enable students to access these books directly from their dorm rooms. The registry to determine payments to authors and publishers will be an independent board, initially appointed half by the Authors Guild and half by the Association of American Publishers. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Any such information available in the form of document may be unavailable for future needs, if it is not collected and properly preserved. A viable solution to deal with collection and preservation of such information is digitization is now possible with the advent of high resolution scanning mechanisms and powerful computers with large storage capabilities. Libraries are an effective source of information to be shared by the people of all kinds, which are engaged in creating and maintaining digital libraries. The availability and use of digital libraries is gradually becoming the norm for the provision of literature and information in all the fields and research. Digitization has become the buzz world in libraries and information centers. The feature of digitization like enabling high level of data compression and easy retrieval are the factors that have made the libraries to convert their documents, books, journals, monographs, reports containing the text, pictures, audio, video in suitable digital formats. Digital Libraries are catering to information services interacting with online databases of journals and other resources. Digital Library plays an important role in creating, indexing and retrieving the various forms of digital resources. One of the main challenges in maintaining Digital library is the *Digital Preservation* aspect. Digital preservation is to manage the digital information and to preserve and maintain readability and accessibility across time. It is also being defined by set of *Metadata Standards,* which are structured encoded data that help in resources discovery and management of data. Discussions of metadata have largely centered on issue of resources description. There is however a growing awareness that metadata plays an important role in managing and preserving the digital resources. A study is made about the Digital preservation, its process, its workflow, *Issues and Challenges, *various ongoing projects (India and Abroad), concept of Metadata, its standards needed for data preservation. The seminar explores PREMIS (Preservation Metadata: Implementation Strategies) - preservation standard. * * SPEAKER: *Kaushal. K.

It would be great to have a collection of success stories - anecdotes of how repositories have been able to improve the lot of researchers - for appealing to institutional repository nay-sayers and open access agnostics. These should be examples of real wins for real individuals rather than marketing claims from repository software suppliers(!) as many repository successes are due to the library team's hard work and insight rather than the technical wizardry of the repository platform. Please can you email me a short (1 paragraph) success story (or stories!) about how your repository improved the experience of some researchers at your institution. They could be in the form of a user testimonial or described in your own words. I am not looking for tales of mass conversions and hysteria, just very practical stories of repository benefit as experienced by individuals. I will collect these together and make them available for repository managers and others to use in their marketing and advocacy. A cross-platform discussion on this topic of Researcher Engagement will be held at the previously announced EPrints meeting just before SPARC DR on November 16th in Baltimore.

Dr. Khaiser Nikam Chairperson of Library and Information Science gave a welcome to the guest and all, along with an introduction of Dr. Benjamin Sukumaran IOLS Career Empowerment and Development Kuvempunagar, Mysore. Chairperson gave a brief note about the Library Science has grown in rapid speed. Thirst of knowledge, language and love towards subject maker a person to communicate better. Lecture Report:- ' Communication is life' 'Life without communication is tragedy'. With this great thought the lecture began by Dr. Benjamin Sukumaran. Benjamin explained how important communication is in life. And to communicate better one should have awareness of cross cultural, if not it would be a barrier for communication. "Communication is a process of response to a stimuli on the flat form of culture. " For communication Physical i.e. the Sound body is important secondly the expression and Thirdly acceptation. If intake is good means outtake will be good. There is stimuli everywhere but one should response. Every one's will power is some where one should realize and the will power should realize and the will power should not wasted in judging, but by learning, by understanding etc. EQ matters everywhere. And with an example of, A rich boy and poor boy who were his student 3-4 years ago and their problem and success story of them to Librarians communication is first because they are people to solve or to give the solution and not creating problem by more communication. He must be good at English because Librarians First nature is Enquiry, Second nature is confirmation and Third is Service. Librarians will be there until education is and Books are Source of Information, Travelling is Confirmation. "Fishes in River never get Thirsty". Thus one should identify his strength and weakness in communication and there by to overcome from it reading, learning and better hard work. The session ended with vote of thanks by Hydar Ali. -- Shivakumar H.R.
