Dear All,

It is nice that Mr Ehtesham had gone a step ahead in the right way to train
his peers. It seems that helping others to learn essential new technologies,
that enable them to perform better, is an indirect way to build our
professional status.

Therefore I am offering my help to  those who are interested in learning
those technologies, in and around my state. It seems that we should develop
some sort of distance training too.

Sometime ago I conducted a Distance Training  on Digital Archiving using
Winisis/Genisis  with the help of  the site
http://rajankila.googlepages.com/
The training went on well  and a few among the 88 participants turned up
initially, could learn the technology easily.

Now one can create free site for digital training using Google site (
http://sites.google.com/)
for the purpose.

Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] ICT - Open Source tools for Library

 ?
Dear All,

I appreciate and thankful for overwhelming response from LIS community which
I got through mails and phone calls. Many members shown there interest in
implementing Open Source tools and serve there user best. Yes why not! "when
there is a will there is a way".
I received number of mails asking for the details - (features and
functionality) of the software which can be implemented for their respective
libraries.
The tools which I suggested in my mail are well known and are being used
world wide. I will provide you the Gist and website from where you can get
more details and for DSpace and OpenURL suite you can look at my project
report (links are provided below).
1. DSpace: It is a well known Digital repository software developed by MIT.
It has all the inbuilt features which is required for any ideal
institutional repository. Details you can get from the official website of
DSpace :
http://www.dspace.org/
You can also look at my project report on DSpace testing of its features and
functionality. Here is the link :
https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/handle/1849/415
2. ePrints: It is a digital library software being used by IISC, IIT for
there digital repository. Feature wise it is as good as DSpace. You can look
for more details at http://www.eprints.org/
3. Moodle: It is one of the best free elearning tool used across the world.
At DRTC we implemented it for many organisation and conduted workshop and
training session. We are using it in our company. Details you can get from :
http://moodle.org
4. Joomla & Drupal: - These are free content management system tool. It can
be used to manage the different forms of online collection for the
organization. Go to there website where you can get more information:
http://joomla.org
http://drupal.org
5. WordPress : With advent of w3 and the era of web 2.0 it became very easy
to become a writer and invite others to read our articles and thought. This
tool is meant for such kind of idea.
Get more details from http://wordpress.org
6. MediaWiki : Yes Wikipedia are there from centuries to make our self
informative on some given subject. Now we are into digital age and our need
and volume of information also increased. We need to have information at a
single mouse click. So to fulfill all this mediawiki a free tool has been
designed. To get more information look at : http://mediawiki.org.
7. OpenURL reSearcher suite (CUFTS, GODOT, DBWIZ): Developed by SFU. This is
entirely a new initiative and efforts are being done. You can look at SFU
websit and my project report :
http://software.lib.sfu.ca/
https://drtc.isibang.ac.in/handle/1849/414
Hope these all will be useful to you. Please let me know if you have any
query. I am always open for it and invite other peer members also to join
this initiative. As Mr. K Rajasekharan mentioned this will directly or
indirectly help us to improve ourselves.

	(OSLS) on 16th - 17th January, 2009.
Message-ID: <a17942f90901010223y601751dame8908d346688fca6@mail.gmail.com>

Dear All,

Department of Library & Information Science, BHU & Indian Council of Social
Science Research (ICSSR), New Delhi are jointly going to organise *National
Seminar On Open Source Library Solutions (OSLS)* on 16th - 17th January,
2009.

*About Seminar:* The rising cost of technology has compelled the libraries
to use Open Source Software (OSS) for library automation, digital library
and so on. OSSs are developed in public domain by the technology experts for
the libraries. The professional community implements the software solutions
and renders feedback to developers, which is a real time testing of
software.

The OSS products are provided with source code for implementation level
customization and future development of software. These solutions are often
free for use and could be redistributed. Today, there are OSSs available for
different library activities which are better than the commercial solutions
using cutting age technology. These solutions range from Operating System to
specialized institutional repositories.

This has made the library services more cost effective and least dependent
on commercial software and vendors. However, there is a concern of the
professionals over stability of software implementation and continuing
support to these OSSs. There is an equal and opposite concern from the end
of developers also towards having a sustainable funding for running the
software development projects. Whatever the concerns may be, the increased
use of open source software among the library community is very encouraging
for open source solution developers.

The Department of Library and Information Science, Banaras Hindu University,
Varanasi proposes to conduct two days National Convention on Open Source
Library Solutions (OSLS), 16th ? 17th January, 2009. The proposed seminar
would provide a common platform for library professionals to share their
experience.

Research papers, demonstration and case-studies are invited for presentation
and discussion during the convention in following areas:

Implementation of OSS in:- Library automation, Digital repositories, Digital
preservation, Consortium planning, Community education, Office management,
Content development, Event management, E-publishing, Knowledge management,
E-governance, Community networks.

*Target Participants:* Practicing Librarians and Information Scientists,
Faculty Members, Researchers, Students, Information System Personnel,
Managers, etc.

*Call for Papers:* Full texts paper(s) in English (in A4 size, double space,
not more than 10 pages) should be sent to the *Organising Secretary, Deptt.
of Library and Information Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi -

Higher education starves, but a $4.5m gift to Harvard's fine?

R Vaidyanathan

Wednesday, December 17, 2008 3:42:00 AM

The news item was not in the front pages of any major newspaper. It was published by some national dailies in the inside pages. 

It is about the Government of India gifting $4.5 million (nearly Rs 23 crore) for Harvard University to establish a fund in honour of Prof Amartya Sen, which would help Indian students pursue higher education in that institution. This was to celebrate the 75th birth day of the renowned economist in recognition of his "extraordinary accomplishments" (PTI, December 11, 2008). 

The government had earlier given ??3.2 million (nearly Rs 26 crore) to the Cambridge University's Judges Business school to celebrate Nehru's entry as a student of Trinity College (see my article in DNA Money, February 12, 2008).

Both the news items, though important, were not debated by academicians nor commented upon by editors. To start with, there are questions regarding using government money to facilitate the fund-raising activity of Harvard or Cambridge. It is common knowledge that post-Thatcher era, the educational institutions in the UK are forced to raise the fees particularly for foreign students and even then, the fees do not cover even 25% of the cost of running these institutions. And hence, most of the British educational institutions are going around the world with a begging bowl, camouflaged as road shows, for their graduate and undergraduate courses. 

Harvard, which recently lost more than $8 billion (nearly 22% of its corpus), is so much more desperate to augment its resources in the context of the global meltdown and deep US recession (WSJ, December 4, 2008).

Now, why should a developing country like India fund the cash-starved institutions of the West? 

If Cambridge was so fascinated about Nehru entering it as a student or about the 'India Story', then it should have approached a private financier or some company in the UK to fund this endowment.

Ditto for Harvard, which could have asked many leading philanthropies in the US or business groups in India to fund the centre.

I know of several centres in China, which are funded by these universities or US companies. But India is a peculiar country, which funds centres in foreign universities, facilitating/ enhancing their finances. This gesture is not going to make others recognise us as a global economic power.

The higher educational institutions in India are starved of funds and crying out. After the decision of the government regarding reservation for other backward castes and the Supreme Court judgments thereon, it has become imperative for centrally funded institutions to increase their strength by at least one-and-half times and hence they need funds to expand their physical infrastructure. The government is not much forthcoming on this and expects the Central institutions to fend for themselves. There is a need for buildings and various other physical infrastructure in all the Central institutions of higher learning, leave alone the lower levels of education.

It is also surprising that the traditional rebels without a pause, namely the Left liberals, are totally silent on this. The usual Marxist crowd berating US imperialism, etc is also silent. May be the recessionary imperialism is not to be bothered about. The academic community is silent and some may be positioning themselves for future opportunities.

In the context of starving Indian institutions, gifting nearly Rs 50 crore to institutions in the UK/US is, to say the least, callous and may be construed as the result of the embedded colonial gene in our systems. The courtiers and family retainers may be already crowding around relevant ministries and power centres to get the positions, but that does not justify this subsidy.

Due to our distorted Nehruvian socialistic thinking, we believe that government is the embodiment of wisdom since it can tax and provide subsidies. We still live in the era of Kings where the whims and fancies of the Chakravarthi could get huge gifts to the courtiers and other foreign poets/ scholars. All one need do is stand in the queue and sing praises ??" particularly in this Dhanur month. Of course, if your colour is white, then just stand, not necessarily in the queue. Gifts will be bestowed and you will be profusely thanked for your presence and acceptance of the same.

There are many NRIs and Indian business groups who could have provided this subsidy/ alms to Harvard, but that was not the deal. Harvard I presume has arm-twisted the Government of India to get the funds to minimise the impact of its losses on the hedge funds. Anyhow, Indian government is the best hedge against such situations; due to the colonial hang-up and because we think Americans have done a great favour to us.

That is the reason our Ambassador to the USA, Ronen Sen (of the 'headless chicken' fame) profusely thanked the president of the Harvard University for accepting the gift.


We all should be very happy that Harvard condescended to accept our cheque since each of us was worried they may not!

Will the Indian mind ever get de-colonised?

SAGE sponsors new ALA scholarship



Respected Friends,
Greetings for the day.


Academic publisher SAGE has announced its support for a new American Library
Association (ALA) scholarship, the Peter Lyman Memorial/SAGE Scholarship in
New Media. The scholarship was created in memory of Peter Lyman, former
university librarian and professor emeritus of the School of Information at
the University of California, Berkeley. Professor Lyman was nationally known
for his landmark study on information overload entitled, "How Much
Information?" co-authored with Hal Valerian.


The Peter Lyman Memorial/SAGE Scholarship in New Media will support a
student in an ALA accredited master's programme in Library and Information
Studies pursing a specialty in new media. New media is defined as digital
technology's transformation of business and culture during the past 25-plus
years, clarifying the evolution of digital communications and human-computer
interaction.


The scholarship winner must have demonstrated academic excellence,
leadership and evidence of a commitment to a career in librarianship. The
recipient will receive a $2,500 scholarship as well as a travel stipend to
attend the ALA Midwinter Meeting. Additional information about the
scholarship is available online at www.ala.org scholarships.



For detail information on ALA Scholarship Programme I may request to my
worthy friends to visit the following link---

Miss Charu Mathur.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Discrimination against library staff in pay revision
Message-ID: <001801c96caa$ebe05ec0$8264a8c0@GIPE>

Dear Members

I have gone through the letter no. 1-32/2006-U.II/U.I(1) dated 31.12.2008 issued by HRD Ministry to UGC regarding implementation of sixth pay. I found that though there is scope for univesity teachers to move up to the level of professor through CAS, the same is not in the case with library professionals. It only stated that a librarian in the pay band of Rs.37,400-67,000 having three years' of experience in the AGP of 9000 will be eligible to be considered for librarian in AGP of Rs.10000 through open recruitment. That implies library staff can't go up to the level of professors through CAS even if they fulfill all other eligibility criteria as laid down for teachers.

I request the concerned professionals to express their opinion on the matter.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Enabling Malayalam for Koha using SCIM
Message-ID: <5b978ad90901020332m6525f37we26c7596daee6488@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Friends,



I write this from the inspiration of scanning earlier submissions made by
Rajan (KILA) Sir about Koha for Malayalam catalogues.



I tried to enable Malayalam in Windows XP machines for my professional
colleagues. My attempt was failed due to most of PCs used Windows XP pirated
version! It ask for XP service pack CD-ROM while enable Malayalam (any other
Indic language). Nobody own XP service pack CD.



My experiment with Linux (Debian and Ubuntu) was successful. Inputting
Malayalam using SCIM (Smart Common Input Method) software seems very useful
and easy. It offers various modes to enter languages. You can enter
Malayalam in Phonetic mode. No need to learn the Malayalam key board format
while enters data. You can use International Phonetic Alphabet (e.g.
Manglish= English+Malayalam). Malayalam vowels can add from drop down list
while data entry (No need to waste time for crawling vowels button). I found
other Indian languages in SCIM, I have not tried data entry of other
languages. I invite you to try other Indian languages with SCIM. And
remember to post your feed back in Lis-Forum.



Detailed description of enabling Malayalam in Debian and Ubuntu and the
required software package available in the following link,



http://malayalam.kerala.gov.in/index.php/EnableMalayalam



Windows version of SCIM not available.

You can also visit the SCIM project home page.

Message-ID: <80b6c0c10901020939qb92a8ebseff682bd85aa361c@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Proessional Colleagues,
IALA WISHES YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPROUS NEW YEAR - 2009
I am vry hapyto inform you all that Ministry of HRD has given a good
New year gift to the Academic community. On 31st of Disember the HRD
Minitry has issued its order to the UGC for implementation of PRC
Recommentions. Some of you might have already read the same. Howeer I
have located the fultext of the order on the IALA website. You may
visit the same from the followin link:

 http://iala.org.in/subfiles/pay.pdf

You mayrecall that the IALA has submitted its memorandum to the
ministry of HRD to setright the anomolies in the UGC PRC
recommedations. We are verymuch thakfulto the MHRD for having
addressed some of our griviences. However, still some moreneed to be
adressed. IALA is preparing  another memoradum ve oon and sent to MHRD
and UGC. A deligation of IALA ll be vsiting Delhi to discuss with HRD
ministry and UGC Chairman during the last week of January 09.

Further, the HRD letter regding Age of Retirement states that,

"Where as the enhancement of the age of Superannuation for teachers
engaged in class room teaching is intended to attract eligible persons
to acareer in teaching and to meet the shortage of teachers by
retaining teachers in service for a longer period, and whereas there
is no shortage in the catagories of Librarians and Directors of
Physical Education, the increase in the age of retirement from the
present 62 years shall not be available to the catagories of
Librarians and Directors of Physical Education."

Friends, given to my understanding  there are atleast 60% of the
University Library posts specially University Librarian positions are
vacant in the entire country. We have seen  several Universities
advertising  two to three times for want of suitable candidates. One
best example is that Bangalore University could not recruit its
Librarian post for 17 years. Though it had advertised for three to
four times. Hence there may be similar examples all over the country.
I request all of you to kindly  send me the relevent documents like
advertisements etc.,  to putforth our arguement for enhancement of the
age of Superannuation of Library professionals  to Sixty five as in
the case of Teachers.

I also request all of you to kindly give your feedback on the HRD
orders immediately to us. So that, we can sumit our memorandum to the
appropriate bodies in time.

Thanks,

Subject: [LIS-Forum] National Seminar On Open Source Library Solutions
	(OSLS) on 16th - 17th January, 2009.
Message-ID: <a17942f90901021907t493a5b26t51386335140fd414@mail.gmail.com>

Dear All,

Department of Library & Information Science, BHU & Indian Council of Social
Science Research (ICSSR), New Delhi are jointly going to organise *National
Seminar On Open Source Library Solutions (OSLS)* on 16th - 17th January,
2009.

*About Seminar:* The rising cost of technology has compelled the libraries
to use Open Source Software (OSS) for library automation, digital library
and so on. OSSs are developed in public domain by the technology experts for
the libraries. The professional community implements the software solutions
and renders feedback to developers, which is a real time testing of
software.

The OSS products are provided with source code for implementation level
customization and future development of software. These solutions are often
free for use and could be redistributed. Today, there are OSSs available for
different library activities which are better than the commercial solutions
using cutting age technology. These solutions range from Operating System to
specialized institutional repositories.

This has made the library services more cost effective and least dependent
on commercial software and vendors. However, there is a concern of the
professionals over stability of software implementation and continuing
support to these OSSs. There is an equal and opposite concern from the end
of developers also towards having a sustainable funding for running the
software development projects. Whatever the concerns may be, the increased
use of open source software among the library community is very encouraging
for open source solution developers.

The Department of Library and Information Science, Banaras Hindu University,
Varanasi proposes to conduct two days National Convention on Open Source
Library Solutions (OSLS), 16th ? 17th January, 2009. The proposed seminar
would provide a common platform for library professionals to share their
experience.

Research papers, demonstration and case-studies are invited for presentation
and discussion during the convention in following areas:

Implementation of OSS in:- Library automation, Digital repositories, Digital
preservation, Consortium planning, Community education, Office management,
Content development, Event management, E-publishing, Knowledge management,
E-governance, Community networks.

*Target Participants:* Practicing Librarians and Information Scientists,
Faculty Members, Researchers, Students, Information System Personnel,
Managers, etc.

*Call for Papers:* Full texts paper(s) in English (in A4 size, double space,
not more than 10 pages) should be sent to the *Organising Secretary, Deptt.
of Library and Information Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi -
221005*. adityatripathi at hotmail.com aditya at bhu.ac.in Last date for
submission of full texts of paper(s) is 20.12.2009.

Dear Friends,

Wish you all a very Happy New Year.

Last year, you may remember, I informed you all about formation of a
society - Open Knowledge Society - and its registration under
Travancore-Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Act of
1955.

This year, let us all resolve to work more vigorously to adopt and
promote the philosophy of Open Access. The philosophy of Open Access
in my own personal opinion is nothing else but an extension of
philosophy behind "BOOKS ARE FOR USE".

In this context, I am seeking your comments and guidance on Open
Knowledge Society. Please read more about it at http://oksociety.org
or http://oksociety.in

Happy and Open Access New Year.

	better Web browser (Ramakant Navghare)
Message-ID: <7b895ab00901032014n55e27952n974074b127256e1f@mail.gmail.com>

To,
Respected All,

Chief executive of Mozilla Corp., maker of the Firefox Web browser, which
broke Microsoft Corp.'s hold on the market so that it couldn't dominate the
Internet the way it does computer operating systems. About 95% of Web
surfers used Microsoft's Internet Explorer in 2004; now 20% use Firefox, and
other companies are offering browsers that are smarter and faster than ever
before. But don't call it a browser war. "We all want the Web to be good. I
am glad for the innovation and all the big brands working on it."

With 200 employees and a $50-million budget, Mozilla is the for-profit
subsidiary of the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation. Firefox is "open source,"
meaning users everywhere are encouraged to improve it. Its success depends
largely on thousands of devoted volunteers -- 40% of the code is written by
people who don't clock in.

*Lilly said, Why you should care about your browser : *Its speed, security
and other capabilities can improve your Internet experience. "I spend more
time in my browser than I do in my car. You should spend at least as much
time choosing which browser you use as which car you drive. It's your lens
onto the Web. Just like the lenses in your glasses, it affects the way the
Web looks to you. As we see more and more of the world through the Web, the
characteristics of the lens matter more than ever."

*"If people participate in the construction of the Web, it will be better
and more robust," says Mozilla CEO John Lilly.*

 "Teachers, Librarians and Professionals at the tertiary level education
have greater responsibility in making today's society an knowledge society
by undertaking research which will produce not only real results but also
realizable result. The media has a greater role to play in making the public
aware of this activity by giving effective publicity for academic and
research matters in headline" said Prof. Syed Akheel Ahmed, Vice-Chancellor,
Yenepoya University, Managlore, during his inaugural address on a one-day
Workshop on "Funding Agencies for Research Projects and Designing Project
Proposals" on 19-12-2008 organized by the departments of Library and
Research and Development Cell, St.Agnes College in association with Dakshina
Kannada and Kodagu Library Association at St. Agnes College, Mangalore. He
also added that the management must encourage the librarians, professionals
and researchers in their venture, as it is a matter of advance of the
present society towards developed society.



Dr. M.S. Moodithaya, Director, Justice K.S. Hegde Institute of Management,

The bulk of Wikipedia is written by 1400 obsessed freaks who do little else
but contribute to the site, says a post racing up the Hacker News charts .
The post pulls this number from an essay Aaron Swartz wrote more than two
years ago, based on some comments by Jimmy Wales.

Chicago (IL) - Taking a page out of Apple's book, Google is now urging Gmail
users to drop Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) in favor of Firefox or Chrome that,
according to the company, run the popular web-based email service "twice as
fast." Google also labels IE6 as an unsupported browser, meaning it fails to
run some Gmail features. Read out the full article from the following link

Dear Shri Vimal,

The Windows XP Service Pack 3 is available in the DVD distributed along with
the computer magazine 'Digit' June 2008 issue. Enabling Malayalam is
possible in Windows XP SP II or later versions.

The most appropriate IME is the one recently created by Kerala IT
Mission. To install it, please download the zip file at
http://malayalam.kerala.gov.in/images/9/92/Win-inscript.zip and click the
setup.exe file.  Malayalam keyboard can then be enabled by, selecting
malayalam from the options in the taskbar icon.

If you are using IME from other sources, the creation of  letters like n in
rajan requires pressing  of 5 keys.
Instructions for Malayalam typing are given at
http://malayalam.kerala.gov.in/index.php/InputMethods

Rachana and Anjali Old Lipi are the commonly used fonts, even though Kartika
is the default one in XP. Meera, is good, but smaller in size.

This is a grey area and advice of people with more exposure will be of great
help.

Regards,

K Rajasekharan

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Enabling Malayalam for Koha using SCIM

Dear Friends,
I write this from the inspiration of scanning earlier submissions made by
Rajan (KILA) Sir about Koha for Malayalam catalogues.
I tried to enable Malayalam in Windows XP machines for my professional
colleagues. My attempt was failed due to most of PCs used Windows XP pirated
version! It ask for XP service pack CD-ROM while enable Malayalam (any other
Indic language). Nobody own XP service pack CD.
My experiment with Linux (Debian and Ubuntu) was successful. Inputting
Malayalam using SCIM (Smart Common Input Method) software seems very useful
and easy. It offers various modes to enter languages. You can enter
Malayalam in Phonetic mode. No need to learn the Malayalam key board format
while enters data. You can use International Phonetic Alphabet (e.g.
Manglish= English+Malayalam). Malayalam vowels can add from drop down list
while data entry (No need to waste time for crawling vowels button). I found
other Indian languages in SCIM, I have not tried data entry of other
languages. I invite you to try other Indian languages with SCIM. And
remember to post your feed back in Lis-Forum.
Detailed description of enabling Malayalam in Debian and Ubuntu and the
required software package available in the following link,
http://malayalam.kerala.gov.in/index.php/EnableMalayalam
Windows version of SCIM not available.
You can also visit the SCIM project home page.

Message-ID: <62c911520901050243p21974f5che5ac8f20d7ed3dc@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Friends,

Fascinating Facts of Library of Congress

*Origin*

The Library was founded in 1800, making it the oldest federal cultural
institution in* *the nation. On August 24, 1814, British troops burned the
Capitol building (where the Library was housed) and destroyed the Library's
core collection of 3,000 volumes. On January 30,
1815, Congress approved the purchase of Thomas Jefferson's personal library
of 6,487 books for $23,950.
*Statistics*

The Library of Congress is the largest library in the world, with more than
138 million items on approximately 650 miles of bookshelves. The collections
include more than 32 million books and other print materials, 2.9 million
recordings, 12.5 million photographs, 5.3 million maps, 5.5 million pieces
of sheet music and 61 million manuscripts.

*Collections*

The Library receives some 22,000 items each working day and adds
approximately 10,000 items to the collections daily. The majority of the
collections are received through the Copyright registration process, as the
Library is home to the U.S. Copyright Office. Materials are also acquired
through gift, purchase, other government agencies (state, local and
federal), Cataloging in Publication (a pre-publication arrangement with
publishers) and exchange with libraries in the United States and abroad.
Items not selected for the collections or other internal purposes are used
in the Library's national and international exchange programs. Through these
exchanges the Library acquires material that would not be available
otherwise. The remaining items are made available to other federal agencies
and are then available for donation to educational institutions, public
bodies and nonprofit tax-exempt organizations in the United States.

*International Collections*

Since 1962, the Library of Congress has maintained offices abroad to
acquire, catalog and preserve library and research materials from countries
where such materials are essentially unavailable through conventional
acquisitions methods. Overseas offices in New Delhi (India), Cairo (Egypt),
Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Jakarta (Indonesia), Nairobi (Kenya) and Islamabad
(Pakistan) collectively acquire materials from more than 60 countries and
acquire materials on behalf of United States libraries participating in the
Cooperative Acquisitions Program. The Library is also collaborating with
institutions around the globe to develop a World Digital
Library<http://www.worlddigitallibrary.org/>
.

*Languages*

Approximately half of the Library's book and serial collections are in
languages other than English. The collections contain materials in some 470
languages.

The government plans to introduce a legislation empowering software makers in their fight against the sale of unauthorised copies of their products, as it looks to crack down on rampant piracy in the country where nearly three-fourths of the software used is pirated.

An amendment to the Copyright Act, which will be introduced in Parliament later this year, will make it illegal to break the security code of all
kinds of software from operating systems and games to multimedia players.

The proposed law will also make it punishable to access computer networks and websites without authorisation.

Dear Fellow Librarians

Do you offer fee-based Document delivery services as a part of your library
services? Are you searching for a good marketing guy who can procure orders
for you and promote your library services on a commercial basis. I know a
gentleman who increased the turnover from Rs 10000 per month to about Rs one
lakh per month.He has experience in fetching orders for Document delivery
and Translations jobs. As you might have guessed he does not have formal
library qualifications!!

If you are searching for a good marketing guy please let me know. I can help
you / him.

Regards

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Videos for B Tech education
Message-ID: <COL118-DS22D7405B0BB1F270FFB5E2B6DC0@phx.gbl>

Dear All,

Libraries in Engineering Colleges can set up video viewing sections, as part
of the libraries, by putting a few computers and making available, the NTPEL
Video lectures on B Tech courses,  in them, for promoting e-learning.
The high quality video lectures for around 4500 hours,  created by 350
teachers in IITs are included in the NTPEL package. The cost altogether for
the videos in DVD format is Rs one lakh only. Alternatively, the contents
can be put as a website in intranet. By setting up such an e-learning unit,
the library can emerge as a direct partner in engineering education, by
disseminating the contents of the video lectures.

This mail is intended to draw the attention of the pro-active librarians in
engineering colleges to the less utilized NTPEL e-learning package.
The lectures are available for viewing on YouTube at
http://in.youtube.com/user/nptelhrd
NTPEL site at http://nptel.iitm.ac.in/ will provide more details.

Regards,

K Rajasekharan

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Focus on E-Learning Technologies
Message-ID: <COL118-DS237DD65EE521BA149A2483B6DC0@phx.gbl>

Dear All, 

The role, status and prestige (but not necessarily pay) of librarians may go  high , if they equip themselves with skills in e-learning technologies so as to grab the emerging opportunities under National Mission on Education through ICT. The Mission, which will begin immediately, may offer sufficient opportunities to the librarians having good exposure to e-learning technologies.

The Mission purports to promote content generation, computers and connectivity in 18,000 government / private colleges and 419 universities. The mission proposes to focus on Wiki technologies for content generation. Content Managements Systems like Drupal, E Course Servers like Moodle, Digital Libraries like Greenstone etc will have  due role in its activities.

So the Librarians, who have good  knowledge on those technologies, can play a key role in the digital technology based e-learning initiatives under the Mission.

 Regards,

K Rajasekharan

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Indian Library and Information Science Blog(s) are not
	able to catch sufficient number of user base.
Message-ID: <38055c8a0901092149xf7af1dei4a957ebc82ad52f2@mail.gmail.com>

During the course of ten days (1st January, 2009- 10th January, 2009) I have
identified 69 blogs developed by the Library and Information Science
Professional working in India. Out of 69, I found only 44
blogs<http://sites.google.com/site/lislinks/library-and-information-science-blogs-in-india>
to
be worth mentioned. The others are only with one or two posts (massage) or
sometimes without any post. What the astonishing fact about the Indian
Library and Information Science Blogs, I have noticed during my course of
action is that they are not professional enough to catch a sufficient number
of user base (except of course the blogs of LIS Links, with which I
personally attached). Many of the blogs are messes with posts from different
subject areas of LIS. While sometimes they post announcement regarding
seminar, sometimes they post job vacancies in LIS, while at other times they
are trying to act as a directory of Library and Information Science
resources in some specific subject areas. I think the Indian Library and
Information Science professional should comes up from the above problem and
they should try to devote only to one or two specific subject only to catch
more users.

I am sufficiently depressed by able to locate only five blogs (and all of
from the works of "LIS Links") that are able to meet the criteria that is
blog(s) with 100 posts (massage) or received 50 Web Hits daily or 25 regular
subscriber. (Any one). (I will be glad to know if I missed out something
really wonderful blog that able to meet the criteria set out above and if
someone able to point out to that). With many many thanks to those who have
really helped me in compiling such a huge list within ten days itself.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] School Library--Opportunities to Help
Message-ID: <693763.50983.qm@web95214.mail.in2.yahoo.com>

Dear Sir,

It is proposed to start a School Library in Government Primary School, near Urban Colony, Bhongir, Nalgonda District, Andhra Pradesh on January 26, 2009. This co-ed school has 125 students studying Classes 1 to 5. These students belong to socially disadvantaged sections of the society. Most of their parents earn their livelihood working as labourers. A preliminary study was done to check about the viability of running a school library and we found enthusiastic response from the teachers serving this institution.

We hope to guide this library as a pilot project wherein the students would be managing and running the library on their own. A group of volunteers from the Organisation for Protection of Libraries (Andhra Pradesh)headed by Dr. Kishore (Librarian, Sreenidhi Institute of Science and Technology)  would train these students on simple techniques of accessioning, cataloguing and circulation of books.

We have already received donation of the following items for the establishment of this school library:

41 children's books worth Rs.900
Glass paned steel almirah with 5 shelves

Opportunities are still available to help the establishment of this school library on a firm footing. Particularly, we wish to have a well-chosen, core collection of children's books including encyclopaedias, magazines, etc. These children can read English and Telugu. We appeal for donation of children's books suitable to their age level. Donations in cash for the purchase of books and magazines are also welcome.

Thank you
Sincerely

Dear Professional

I am submitting few points before you and will request the Senior persons 
to take up the matter on association level with the MHRD and UGC before it 
is too late as the MHRD has deviated even from the original Chadda 
Committee UGC Report. It need to be tajken up urgently before the UGC 
notifies the same for implementation. ?

(1)In the initial document submitted by Prof. Chadha Committee under 
5.15.2, there was an option for "Deputy Librarians and Deputy Directors of 
Physical Education may be considered for promotion to Librarian and 
Director of Physical Education respectively under CAS on lines similar to 
and under conditions of eligibility similar to those of Readers seeking 
promotion to the post of Professor. Senior most Librarian and senior most 
Director of Physical Education may be re-designated as Chief Librarian and 
Chief Director of Physical Education respectively. The MHRD document 
is??silent on this and only states under Sl. No. 5 (d) (iii) that Deputy 
Librarians after three years in AGP of Rs. 9000 shall be eligible for 
appointment to the post of Librarian through open recruitment. University 
assistant librarian/college librarian(selection grade)/university Deputy 
librarian?? can move to associate professors scale after??3 years 
but??he/she canot moves to professors scale after 3 years even if he 
fulfills the conditions for such type of scales what associate 
professors??have for such type of upward movement in??universities????& 
colleges,. Then where's??the parity remains. (2)On page 2 under Sl. No. 2 
(a) (vii) Post of Associate Professor shall be in the Pay Band of Rs. 
37400-67000, with AGP of Rs. 9000. Directly recruited Associate Professors 
shall be placed in the Pay Band of Rs. 37400-67000, with AGP of Rs. 9000, 
at the appropriate stage in the Pay Band in terms of the conditions of 
appointment.


Compare this for teachers with Sl. No. 5 (c) (i) to (viii) for Deputy 
Librarians wherein unequivocal terms the document prescribes the Pay Band 
of Rs.15600-39100 with AGP of Rs. 8000 initially for direct recruited 
Deputy Librarians and they will move to the Pay Band of Associate 
Professors only after putting in three years in the AGP of Rs. 8000.If 
this is not a violation of parity with teachers, then what is this? (3)? 
If a teacher completed Ph.D. within 9 years, he is given the scale of 
12000-18300 after 9 years but not a Librarian who gets the same after 11 
years even having completed the Ph.D. within 9 years. (4)? In State 
Agricultural universities, Librarians are declared teachers and they are 
eligible for Study Leave, etc. but this Notification will deprive them of 
their present facilities.

From: Nirmita Narasimhan <nirmita at cis-india.org>

I am Nirmita and am working with Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) in 
Bangalore, of which Professor Arunachalam is a distinguished fellow. I am 
working on issues of internet, technology and accessibility for disabled 
persons and as part of my work I am involved in a project for creating an on 
line data base of reading resources for visually challenged individuals. CIS is 
a member of the Daisy Forum of India (DFI). We have in our last meeting decided 
that all organisations of the DFI shall send us their catalogues which we will 
compile into a combined catalogue and put up on the inclusiveplanet web site. 
There are a couple of issues here- the organisations have not strictly 
conformed to any single manner of maintaining a catalogue and the content 
comprises books in different formats such as electronic, daisy book, braille 
level 1, braille level 2, audio and so on. So there are a few things which we 
need to do, namely, (a) decide on a format which can be followed by all the 
organisations henceforth for their libraries, (b) specify values for 
classification, (c) identify a cataloguing software and compiling the catalogue 
itself. I was wondering if you could help us in any way with that. Please let 
me know your thoughts on this.

Looking forward to your response,

best wishes,

Dear Professionals,

It's high time to revamp the importance of a library website. Purpose of the
library website will be varying for each library and they should have an
answer for it. Libraries can offer all their services on their websites too.
Now web publishing technology is cheap or free and user friendly. Libraries
can think about adopting new technologies and tools (e.g. web 2.0) to manage
online presence. Here is a nice article appeared in the blog of David Lee
King. He put forward some thought provoking questions regarding the
innovative use of library websites.

Message-ID: <80b6c0c10901120226n37d3bd94je7ee17925e799090@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Professional Colleagues,

	I am happy to inform all the Academic Librarians that, IALA has
submitted its memorandum to MHRD, UGC and anomaly committee appointed
by UGC to rectify the anomalies caused in the MHRD orders in spite of
the clear cut recommendations made by the UGC-PRC to treat Librarians
and Physical Education Directors equivalent to teachers for matters of
pay and allowances and for promotions in universities and colleges.
The full text of the memorandum may be downloaded from the following
link of IALA website:

http://iala.org.in/subfiles/news/MHRDUGC.pdf

Further, it is learnt that, the UGC on receipt of MHRD orders has
constituted a committee to draft the UGC guidelines as per the
directions of the MHRD orders. Hence, IALA felt is appropriate to
represent the issues to the MHRD as well as UGC in order to get them
addressed before the UGC-Guidelines are finalized and issued.

	All the professionals are requested to study the MHRD orders and the
IALA Memorandum and inform us if you find any more anomalies in the
MHRD order.

	However, IALA will be visiting Delhi to meet the Secretary, MHRD and
the Chairman, UGC on 29th to 31st January 2009, during that time it is
desired to carry a revised memorandum and submit.

Hence, all are requested to seriously respond to this call.

Thanking You,
Yours Sincerely,

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Fighting for the right cause
Message-ID: <16228.53301.qm@web25401.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>

Dear friends and colleagues
?
Firstly I want to congratualate Dr. P. V. Konnur,President,Indian Academic Library Association and?allthe members of IALA for their fighting.At last We have seen that an organization with spine is fighting for the right cause. My heartfelt support will be always for them.They have pointed?almost all the anomalies. I just want to suppliment one thing that our leave rules must be at par with the teachers because it is absolutely injustice that we are working non-vacationally but our leaves are being treated as vacational staff.College/universities are taking the adavantage of lack of clearleave rules provided by the UGC. And one thing more the logic behind to treat us non-vacational is very weak as?new?age?librarians need equal academic freedom like their teacher friends.We?need every kind?of leaves like-
?
1.One day off for? study/research per week?
??????????????????????????2.Faculty Improvement Programme FIP) leaves for doing M.Phil/Ph.D
?????????????????????????? 3.Special leave for Postdoctoral study
?????????????????????????? 4.Study leave
??????????????????????????? 5.Extraordinay leaves for academic purposes
??????????????????????????? 6.Duty leaves for Refresher courses/Conference/seminar/workshop etc.
??????????????????????????? 7.sabbatical leave
?
-------Fixed the duty hour for librarians at par with teachers because working non-vacationally creates identity problem and leave scopes to call us non-teaching staff/ administrative staff 
?
------Make?our post vacational or any thing like teachers
?
-----include "LIBRARIAN" in the definition of the teachers in univerity statute and in the UGC Rules
?
-----As AIFUCTO and IALA have rightly pointed that we must be redignated as 
--Assistant Professor in LIS
--Associate Professor in LIS
--Professor in LIS
?
The last two things(definition and redignation)?can do wonder and can bring complete revolution in the quality of the service and personnel.

---Finally in HRD approval? there is a gross anomaly regarding?the age of superannuation of librarian from that of teachers?citing very very weak reason that there is no shortage of libarian.But there is a real?shortage of librarian?in respect of eligibility?specified by the UGC norms. So our age of superannuation must be at par with the teachers.
?
There should not be any anomaly between us and them.UGC should stop this ongoing?US and THEM culture for the sake of development? pure and healthy academic ambience in the college/university.I could not understand why the UGC does treat us step-motherly when we have the same eligibility.Why do they undervalue our work from the very begining? Possibly The UGC does not want LIS service in the college/university must not be represented by ?the high calibre persons. Time has come when we must come together and fight for our self respect. Once again I salute the effort of IALA and wishing a grand triumph over decades long injustice and discrimination.
?
With warm wishes and Happy New Year 2009 to you all.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] National Workshop on Care & Maintenance of Library
	Documents
Message-ID: <cd0aacde0901150221w932702ar9a42b3e922845ce@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Friends,

Knowledge is power and Libraries are power houses of present day knowledge
based society. With all sorts of information being freely available on the
web, it may seem that the role of a librarian in present context is
diminishing. Nothing can be farther from the truth.  Besides acting as an
engine of growth for the institution to which they belong, the librarians
have to protect and preserve what is in their collection. Most of the
libraries possess photographs, maps, etc. besides books and manuscripts.
Since these materials are inherently fragile, with time they start decaying,
leaving the librarian bewildered with what to do in such situations. With
growing reliance upon digital archives of information, the problems are
compounded as these materials exhibit their own problems. Fortunately, the
life of the collection can be enhanced significantly in most cases with
little effort only if the librarian is aware of the steps required to avoid
such a situation.



It is a matter of pleasure that we are organizing 3-days *"National
Workshopon Care & Maintenance of Library
Documents"* for discussing all of the relevant issues in this regard. It is
expected that at the end this period the participants of the workshop will
be able to identify various types of problems related to library documents,
their probable causes and the remedial measures required.

The workshop will mainly centre on the following themes:

?        Deterioration of Traditional Library Acquisitions

?        Care & Maintenance of Traditional Library Acquisitions

?        Issues in Digitization and preservation of library Collection

?        Care & Maintenance of Digital Information Carriers

?        Risk Preparedness and Disaster Management for Libraries

NET must from next year

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has made National Eligibility Test (NET) mandatory for teaching jobs in higher education, in a reversal of a decision it took three years ago. Those holding a Ph.D degree, however, continue to be exempted. 

The UGC has told universities that those already registered for M.Phil and will complete the same before June 2009, shall be exempted from NET. However, NET will be compulsory for the candidates completing M.Phil degree after this date. 

On June 11, 2006, the commission had exempted M.Phil degree holders from NET for appointment as faculty for undergraduate teaching. Later the B.L. Mungerkar Committee, constituted to review the decision, recommended that NET be restored as mandatory as the exemption was leading to deterioration in the quality of teaching. The UGC has accepted the recommendation, thereby restoring NET from July 1, 2009.  

The UGC has decided that the relaxation given to Ph.D holders from NET examination for teaching appointment will continue provided the research is conducted as per the new guidelines circulated by the commission earlier this month.  

According to the guidelines universities must ensure that admissions in Ph.D are done on the basis of an entrance test and the student follows the rules for choosing a Ph.D supervisor. A student enrolled for Ph.D should undertake course-work for minimum of two semesters. Before submitting the thesis, students have to make a presentation to the department, which will be open to all faculty members and students.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Understanding how libraries (and librarians) can
	survive in the new media ecosystem
Message-ID: <c13c85220901180811x7f828f04tea61bcfb02acb620@mail.gmail.com>

Just came across PowerPoint Presentation [hyperlinks at
http://snipurl.com/aahet] of Lee Rainie, Director, Pew Internet &
American Life Project. The presentation is on How libraries can
survive in the new media ecosystem. I am trying to understand the
message conveyed by this presentation. It is about "how people's use
of the internet and cell phones has fundamentally changed the
'information ecosystem' in 10 ways". Information in this age is
Abundant, Cheap, Personally Oriented and Designed for participation.
According to Lee,  'information ecosystem' is changing in the
following manner:

- Volume of information grows

- Variety of information and sources of information grow

- Velocity of information increases and smart mobs emerge

- Venues of intersecting with information and people multiply and the
availability of information expands.

- People's vigilance for information changes. Attention is 'truncated'
and 'elongated'.

- The vibrance and immersive qualities of media environments makes
them more compelling places to hang out and interact.

- Valence (relevance) of information improves ?  search and
customization get better

- The voice of information democratizes and the visibility of new
creators is enhanced.

- Voting on and ventilating about information proliferates as tagging,
rating, and commenting occurs and collective intelligence asserts
itself

- Social networks become more vivid and meaningful.

So what can Libraries and Librarians do in such an 'information
ecosystem'? Well, they have been advised to take following actions:

-Be findable and available

-Think of yourself as a news node for information and interaction.

-Think of yourself as a social network node for people looking for 'friendsters'

-Think of yourself as an information hub -- an aggregator and a linker
to others who have useful, interesting material

-Experiment with Web 2.0 applications

-Offer your good offices to help people master new literacies -
Graphic; Navigation; Context; Focus; Skepticism; Ethical and Personal
literacies.

The new information ecosystem and required actions for being relevant
in this new ecosystem has been well explained by Lee. However, I am
trying to understand how the ideas expressed by Lee Rainie correlate
to the theory and philosophy of Library and Information Science.
Changes in 'information ecosystem' is consistent with Ranganathan's
Fifth Law - Library is a Growing Organism. The Library (system) being
an Organism,  grows and thus get more and more differentiated. It
evolves like any other living organism on earth in response to changes
in ecosystem. Most 'actions' suggested by Lee are consistent with
Forth Law - Save the Time of The Reader. Well, I am not able to fit
the concept of 'social networking' on Internet in terms of philosophy
of library science. Perhaps, someone from you can help me.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Google Web History
Message-ID: <50ee88430901181924w42f2c657ueceed96a9cfd5657@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Library and Information Professionals,
        Google's has implemented personalization to improve search
results could face some difficulties. Google already uses your
queries, the results you click on, your bookmarks, but this isn't
enough to build a comprehensive profile. People don't search too many
times and, most often, they click on the top search results.

So I think the next step in Google's efforts to tailor the search
results to your preferences is to expand the search history into
something more complex: the web history. Browsing web pages is an
important part of your online activity and there are already
applications like Google Desktop that monitor and index the visited
web pages.

Google Web History is a reality starting today. This replaces the
previous search history service that was limited only to queries and
search results. If you want to add the web pages you visit, you need
to have Google Toolbar with the PageRank feature activated and to
enable web history from http://www.google.co.in/history/welcome?hl=en.



Thanks and regards.

 on Consortial Licenses
Message-ID: <b65deca704f4606666c193bad29b80d5.squirrel@gpo.iitb.ac.in>

Dear All

You may be interested to see the following statement by the
International Coalition of Library Consortia.  please see the full
document at

http://www.library.yale.edu/consortia/icolc-econcrisis-0109.htm


INTERNATIONAL COALITION OF LIBRARY CONSORTIA (ICOLC)

Statement on the Global Economic Crisis and Its Impact on Consortial
Licenses

Written on behalf of the many library consortia across the world that
participate in the ICOLC, this statement has two purposes.  It is
intended to help publishers and other content providers from whom we
license electronic information resources (hereafter simply referred to
as publishers) understand better how the current unique financial crisis
affects the worldwide information community.  Its second purpose is to
suggest a range of approaches that we believe are in the mutual best
interest of libraries and the providers of information services.

The ICOLC library consortia consider the current crisis of such
significance that we cannot simply assume that libraries and publishers
share a common perspective about the magnitude of the crisis and the
best approaches to cope with it.  ICOLC members have been exchanging
perspectives about how the current economic recession will impact
consortia and their libraries.  We make the following forecasts about
the impact of this crisis on libraries and library consortia.

1.  We expect significant and widespread cuts in budget levels for
libraries and consortia:  reductions unlike the sporadic or regional
episodes experienced from year to year, with real and permanent
reductions to base budgets.  It may not be uncommon for library and
consortia budgets to decline by double digits year over year.  We have
yet to see the full effects, as many 2009 journal and database
subscriptions have already been renewed.  As of late 2008, many
institutions have declared significant budgets cuts in all areas
(content, staff, and operations) for 2009.  Some consortia are
experiencing significant economic impact in the current fiscal year; by
calendar and fiscal 2010, the cuts will be in full force and widespread.

2.  These cuts will be prolonged.  The public and education sectors will
likely lag in funding recovery.  Once funding is withdrawn over multiple
years, it will be years before budgets climb back toward pre-crisis
levels.

3.  Exchange rate fluctuations are complicating and in some cases
amplifying the impact.

We encourage publishers to recognize these fundamentally different
circumstances as we work together for the benefit of all parties.
Library consortia are uniquely positioned to be the most effective and
efficient means to preserve the customer base for publishers and create
solutions that provide the greatest good for the greatest number.  By
working together, publishers and consortia can create the most effective
pricing and renewal options and maintain the broadest base of
subscribing libraries and services.

While we cannot be prescriptive where solutions are concerned, we
suggest the following principles and techniques as likely to be the most
effective approaches.

Principle 1:  Flexible pricing that offers customers real options,
including the ability to reduce expenditures without disproportionate
loss of content, will be the most successful.  In stable times,
standardized pricing and terms may work relatively well.  Today,
purchasers will be under heavy pressure to reduce their outlays and need
solutions that let them do so while continuing to offer as much content
and service as possible.  It is in the publisher's best interest that we
avoid all-or-nothing, take-it-or-leave-it decisions and options, whose
lack of flexibility is likely to result in far greater damage than is
absolutely necessary.

Principle 2:  It is in the best interest of both publishers and
consortia to seek creative solutions that allow licenses to remain as
intact as possible, without major content or access reductions.
Content, once discontinued, will be very difficult to reinstate at a
later date. While there may be practical limits to this principle,
publishers, authors, scholars, and libraries will be best served by
those solutions that retain as much access to as much content as
possible.

With these two principles in mind, we suggest the following approaches:

1.  Purchasers will trade features for price; that is, we can do without
costly new interfaces and features.  This is not a time for new
products.  Marketing efforts for new products will have only limited
effects, if any at all.  Libraries will have few if any resources to
invest in new titles or more content elements.  Publishers who work with
the scholarly communities to understand what content is critically
needed will be the most successful.

2.   Putting price first will help all parties, because budget pressures
will drive decisions in a way never seen before.  Real price reductions
will be welcomed and can help to sustain relationships through the hard
times.

Even increases at inflation levels will not be supportable by many
groups and libraries.  Other approaches and options must be considered
and made available.  Some options may be uniquely created to take
advantage of local situations.  Therefore:

3.  Tailoring content to need and pricing accordingly can be very
helpful.  For example, customized approaches that look to usage patterns
as the basis for an adjustment may be equitable for all parties.  In the
case of tiered pricing schedules, applying this flexibly to core content
packages in combination with more affordable pricing for single titles
may create another affordable option.  Multiple, creative options are
needed so that library consortia can work with their members to fashion
the optimal purchase level.

4.  Multi-year contracts will be possible only with clear opt-out and/or
reduction clauses.  As difficult as these clauses can be, the only
alternative for many institutions will be year-to-year (or even shorter
term) licenses.  These increase the administrative overheads for all
parties and may encourage further reductions.  Additionally, opt-out
clauses must as well recognize the need for a flexible set of reduction
techniques that avoid penalizing customers in either the long or short
term.

5.  While annual payments currently are the most prevalent payment
schedule for group licenses, options will be needed for semi-annual or
quarterly payment schedules, in combination with more flexible
opt-out/reduction clauses and renewal cycles.  Libraries and consortia
may have very little warning of changes in their budgets.  Payment
options are a necessary precaution in light of rapidly changing
financial circumstances and expectations.
*  *  *

In combination, we suggest these approaches as a way to advance the
conversations among libraries, consortia and publishers, who all hope to
preserve existing relationships, provide as much information to users,
and generate as much business as budgets will allow.  We believe our
recommendations provide a solid foundation for the information
community, including the publishers of scholarly information, to go
forward together in these difficult times.

The current situation may in the long term serve as a catalyst that
challenges publishers, scholars and libraries to create a system that
will more efficiently produce and disseminate the growing output of
global scholarship.



Regards.

Dear Professionals,

This is a somewhat different note to those you usually receive from me! I am
involved in a study of the International Academy of Astronautics and what we
are trying to do is to ascertain the expectations of the public, particularly
youth, regarding space activities. We have made a lot of progress over the
past year and have put a questionnaire up on a special Web site at

www.space-expectations.org 

Since many of you work in a university or library, then I wonder whether you
might be willing to draw the attention of your students or users to the Web
site and ask them to simply complete the questionnaire there (which is in
several languages). This would be very helpful in getting as wide a
distribution as possible. You can fill it in too - indeed please give it to
any one you can - family, colleagues, friends!

A suggested text for any announcement you might care to make is given below.

Thanks and regards,

Hello Friends,

I have undertaken a Research Project ""Developing a prototype model
for converting bibliographic databases (library catalogue) into ISO
2709 format and hosting it on intranet and internet using ISIS tools"
under the guidance of  Dr. D. N. Phadke  as a part of  M.Phil
programme at  YCMOU.  With the help of this Research Project libraries
will be able to create or convert their collection into databases that
adheres to required Bibliographic Standards. This in turn will
facilitate resource sharing. Moreover, without any investments in
costly softwares, libraries will be able to host their collection on
intranet and internet with comprehensive and user friendly search
features.

For further details and status about the Research Project, log on to
website http://www.geocities.com/cilisindia.  Questionnaire,
Guidelines and Sample Data Entry forms can be downloaded from this
website. I will be very thankful if you can inform about the same to
your fellow colleagues. Your valuable co-operation and support to
establish a network of participating libraries will be highly
appreciated

Kindly send the filed in Questionnaire & Sample Entries or Library
Database on

Dear Friends,
India is among the fast-growing for books among the top ten markets, bigger
than China. The Head of Oxford University Press WorldWide Dr. Henry Reece
was told this during the interaction with Economic Times (22nd thursday,
P.N. 12, Bengaluru edition). Dr. Reece was in India for the release of a
two-volume festschrift for Amertya Sen, edited by two of his former
students, Kaushik Basu and Ravi Kanbur, to mark the Noble Laureate's 75th
birthday.

Thanking You,

	languages in cyberspace
Message-ID: <558241.63088.qm@web95410.mail.in2.yahoo.com>

UNESCO releases English version of its publication on languages in cyberspace
19-01-2009 (Paris)

UNESCO releases the English version of its publication "Securing a Place for a Language in Cyberspace", which first appeared in French in 2007 and has been translated in several languages since then. The original version was prepared with the assistance of the Latin Union and the intellectual contribution of the expert Marcel Diki-Kidiri.

Consistent with the UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Promotion and Use of Multilingualism and Universal Access to Cyberspace, this publication aimes at facilitating decision-making on the inclusion of new languages in cyberspace. 

Cyberspace is open to all languages of the world, since its infrastructure is not subject to a central authority which can decide how it should be used. It is sufficient, in principle, to link a computer to an Internet access provider in order to post online texts, graphics or audio data in the language of one?s choice. 

However, implementing this principle, which is a fundamental factor of democracy at the global level and inclusive knowledge societies, requires a number of technical conditions, and human and financial resources. 

In this publication, the author explains as simple as possible how to ensure that a language which is poorly endowed in linguistic and/or information technology resources, not to mention human resources, may find its proper place in cyberspace and be active there. 

The publication is meant to be didactic and to accompany, step-by-step, all those who may join UNESCO at any given stage on the path to putting all poorly endowed languages into cyberspace. 

The text of the publication is available online in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Portuguese - click here:

WSJ.com: "TRACY, Calif. -- The financial crisis has caused a lot of
withdrawals at the public library.A few years ago, public libraries
were being written off as goners. The Internet had made them
irrelevant, the argument went. But libraries across the country are
reporting jumps in attendance of as much as 65% over the past year, as
newly unemployed people flock to branches to fill out r?sum?s and scan

Dear Prof. Arunachalam,
I saw the exhibit with interest. It is a good idea, however the arguments and
pictures do not really convince. The investment in science is for a better
tomorrow. I am sure if India stops investing in research and transfer the funds
as an aid for social uplifting, several poor families would be in a better
condition. But, as we all know, this is shortsightedness. 

A convincing exhibit should have a comparison of percentage of increase in
prices of journals vis a vis other commodities.

priceless read on laptops or e-book readers. The musty smell of books on

and it is expected to touch $3-$5 billion in next five years.

Dear Friends,

Recently I attended 10th annual national convention of MANLIBNET held at KIIT university, Bhubaneswar (Orissa). The theme was ?Organizational excellence in business and management libraries: current trends and future directions?

Many eminent librarians had attended the function. All presented their respective papers. Mr. Dipak Kumar Khuntia (XIMB) was awarded for the best presentation. Congrats sir!

My topic of presentation was ? Libraries as reflected in the websites: a study of the homepages of management institutes?. 

I carried out the survey (of course desk top) by just clicking and analyzing the information depicted in the institutes websites. I had a nice experience at the convention. 

I thank the organizing committee. Really such type of workshops gives opportunity for us to interact and explore.

Wish you all a bright time ahead 
(May God save the profession)

with regards,

Dear Friends,

Recently I attended 10th annual national convention of MANLIBNET held at
KIIT university, Bhubaneswar (Orissa). The theme was ?Organizational
excellence in business and management libraries: current trends and future
directions?

Many eminent librarians had attended the function. All presented their
respective papers. Mr. Dipak Kumar Khuntia (XIMB) was awarded for the best
presentation. Congrats sir!

My topic of presentation was ? Libraries as reflected in the websites: a
study of the homepages of management institutes?. 

I carried out the survey (of course desk top) by just clicking and analyzing
the information depicted in the institutes websites. I had a nice experience
at the convention. 

I thank the organizing committee. Really such type of workshops gives
opportunity for us to interact and explore.

Wish you all a bright time ahead 
(May God save the profession)

with regards,


Nrusingh Kumar Dash

Announcing ?biblios.net, the world?s largest database of freely-licensed library records
By resourceshelf on Cataloging and Metadata 


>From the News Release:

LibLime [has] announced the launch of ?biblios.net?a free browser-based cataloging service with a data store containing over thirty-million records. Records are licensed under the Open Data Commons, making the service the world?s largest repository of freely-licensed library records.

?biblios.net (pronounced ?biblios dot net?) features an intuitive metadata editor complete with templates, macros, authority auto-completion and embedded context-sensitive help. The central record repository contains 25-million bibliographic records and just under eight-million authority records. The data is maintained by ?biblios.net users similar to the model used by Wikipedia. Catalogers can use and contribute to the database without restrictions because records in ?biblios.net are freely-licensed under the Open Data Commons Public Domain Dedication and License (https://biblios.net/open-data-commons-license).

?biblios.net also includes a built-in federated search system allowing catalogers to find records from any Z39.50 target. A central Search Target Registry, seeded with over 2,000 Z39.50 servers, makes it easy for catalogers to find, create and share Z39.50 targets.

In addition to offering a cutting-edge cataloging interface, ?biblios.net offers a unique social cataloging environment. Built-in forums and private messaging make finding help and communicating with other users a cinch. Real-time chat is slated for an upcoming release.

?The philosophy behind an Open Data movement scarcely needs an explanation to a library audience,? explains LibLime CEO, Joshua Ferraro. ?The mission of libraries?to provide open, free access to ideas and information?surely applies to the metadata created BY librarians,? Ferraro says.

?To date, libraries haven?t had a freely-licensed repository of library records to date and that makes ?biblios.net an especially exciting development, one that I?m proud to have been a part of,? says Ferraro. ?It?s our hope that ?biblios.net, as well as other open data movements, will usher in a new era of library openness, where libraries can collaboratively create and share metadata with the whole community,? Ferraro says.

You can sign up for a free ?biblios.net account by visiting http://biblios.net.

Dear All,

The Unesco document "Libraries for all : how to start a basic library",
brought to our notice by Dr Indira,  is an excellent practical guide to
be taught in our library schools in the beginning so as to give the
students  a holistic overview of the tasks ahead in the  library profession.
 The list of options in decision-making, the practical hints on whereabouts
and the logical sequencing of the sub topics make this document a good
entry point for a new student of Library Science.

Regards,

K Rajasekharan

Dear Mrs. Sheethal,
UNESCO Publication "Libraries for all: how to start and run a basic
library" written by Laura Wendell, the founder of the World Library
Partnership, is a practical guide to establish and manage a library.
available in English, French and Spanish in HTML and PDF formats.
This resource guide is designed and developed for people with little or no
training in librarianship and contains practical, step-by-step instructions
for creating and managing a successful library.
Here is the URL:
http://www.unesco.org/webworld/highlights/library_run_020299.html
Line-item Budgeting is discussed in P15-21.
I feel we should include this in the Reading Lists of BLISC and MLISC
programs.
Hope this manual will be useful in our day-to-day practices.
Dr Indira
