Dear Sir, You can pls visit the below given URL:- (Also many others are available) http://www.mp3-converter.com/wma/ http://www.mp3-converter.biz/ http://www.blazemp.com/blaze_media_pro.asp You find so many SW here, the tutorials will be given in the package. Pls choose whichever you feel is suitable one for you. As MP3 is already a compressed format of audio, WMA is the next option.(eg. On an avg 120 MP3 songs can be burnt on a CD, where as if WMA is the choice, a CD can hold upto 200 songs Apprx.) There are lots of converters available. You are sure to loose the quality if you compress audio files. If WAVE format has surround sound, then if you compress it to MP3 it may loose quality and further down if you convert it to WMA.

Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2005 10:09:41 +0100 (BST) From: Dr. Nabi Hasan <nabihasan2002(a)yahoo.co.in> Dear Friends Our university has asked about the ICAR/UGC Rules, dealing with stock verification of Books and other documents and the power of Librarian and Director/VC to write off the lost/ mutilated documents. Our total collection is about 80000 documents. Since there is no collective Semester Break of the students, we are not in a position to close the library and complete the stock verification of the library documents. The Audit people are pressing hard to conduct the Stock Verification. Being in the same system, u can better understand the problem. Therefore you are kindly requested to please supply the copy of the rules or any such notification/ document lying with u or may be made available by you. An early reply in this regard will be highly appreciable With warm regards Dr. Nabi Hasan Library System Administrator University Library, CSK Himachal Pradesh Agricultural University Palampur (H.P.)- 176 062 (India) Phone: 01894-283184 (Direct), 01894-230361 (O) Cell- 9418149447, 01894-234571 (R) E-Mail: nabihasan(a)rediffmail.com nabihasan(a)gmail.com Web: http://hillagric.ernet.in

Please read the news below. In every city there may be a number of such privately owned public libraries. How about some PhD student studying these and subscription libraries -- how they supplement government efforts? Vyasamoorthy, P ========== http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IEK20050716012637&Topic=0&Title… Institute of World Culture opens reference library Saturday July 16 2005 11:48 IST BANGALORE: The Indian Institute of World Culture in Basavangudi has opened up the K T Behanan Library on the second floor of its new Diamond Jubilee block. The library, which boasts a rare collection of books, used to be housed in the old building and was opened only on request. The new library will be open for reference everyday from 10 to 11.30 in the morning except Mondays. The shelves hold rare personal collections of late Dr K T Behanan, who used to be associated with institute. "Dr Behanan donated his entire collection before he passed away. We set up a library in his memory," said Y M Balakrishna, the institute's honorary secretary. The library got a further boost in 1963 when Dr Behanan's wife, M T Behanan, set up a permanent endowment for the institute for a substantial amount at the Canara Bank. "With the annual amount, more books are periodically add to the K.T. Behanan Library," adds Balakrishna. Among the large collection are eight volumes of the Encyclopaedia of World Art, 15 volumes of the Encyclopaedia of Science and Technology and entire collection on Sri Aurobindo, Srimad Bhagvad Gita, 24 volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, complete works of Sankaracharya, complete works of Daniel Defoe, Charles Dickens, Alexandre Dumas, Balzac, Elliot, Holmes, Hawthorne, Poe, Thackeray besides modern self-help books. The institute has also added new books to its old library and the children's section. "The new block has just opened and more people are visiting it," says Balakrishna. Balakrishna said there are plans to include some magazines also at the new library. Some of Dr Behanan's collections have also been kept on shelves at the old block, where they can also be borrowed. ==================

OAI-PMH functionality in NewGenLib
by Jai Haravu 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Dear Friends I am happy to announce that NewGenLib, the library automation and networking software developed jointly by Kesavan Institute and Verus Solutions Pvt., Ltd. has now added functionality to harvest metadata from open access archive repositories that use either the Dublin Core or MARC-21 (MARC-XML) standards. The harvested metadata points to the URL of the digital content. The functionality also allows a library to archive publications of its own researchers in the library's catalogue database. Since NewGenLib allows networking of several libraries in its networking/consortium version, a Host library can harvest metadata from Associate libraries and vice versa. Other libraries that might want to harvest metadata from NewGenLib databases on the web can do so as records in Dublin Core, MARC-XML or in MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema), an XML schema, intended to carry selected data from existing MARC 21 records as well as to enable the creation of original resource description records. We would be happy to provide clarifications and more information on this new development.

ALA accredited degree (MLIS) is needed for getting job in USA/Canada...
by K Prakash 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Hello, I received a plea from a library professional who emigrated to Canada. She has completed her B.Sc.(Physics); BLIS, MLIS (1998) from IGNOU. She has worked for British Council Library and few other institutions, she has about 10+ year experience in Library field. Now her MLIS degree is not considered as equivalent to MLS/MLIS of Canadian Universities, the authorities are asking for ALA accredited degree. She contacted ALA, they are saying she has to contact CLIP, UK and it is not replying to her. If anybody can help her on this issue, please write to her email id monasahu2000(a)yahoo.com [I had made a follow up on this issue quite some time back in some listserv, they were discussing now a days few universities/institutions are offering jobs for Library Professionals of India, China etc. nationals(where there is no ALA accredited degree offered). But some type of document proof is needed to support this.] With best regards.
