Google Launches Web Book Reader
by Farooque Shaheen 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Google launched a Web-based application for reading books digitized by the company's Book Search project. Like Google Maps and Gmail, the interactive tool works directly in a Web browser and supports zooming as well as a fullscreen mode. Books that are available through the search can still be downloaded in PDF format, but Google's online utility replaces the need for the bulky Adobe Reader. Users can switch to a two-page view that appears like a physical book, or read one page per screen like a standard Web page. Scrolling through the book is instant using the mouse. http://www.betanews.com/article/Google_Launches_Web_Book_Reader/1164238467 Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Caritor India (P) Ltd.

Paul Ginsparg on the value of open access archiving
by Subbiah Arunachalam 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

Friends: Please look up http://www.jneurosci.org/cgi/content/full/26/38/9606 for a very interesting and informative article by open access pioneer Paul Ginsparg. You will realise how much scientists are missing by not yet making all their reserach papers open access and how much the progress of science is hindered by the indifference of policy makers who, in spite of much evidence, are not mandating open access for all research papers resulting from publicly-funded research. Best wishes. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

Re: [LIS-Forum] Urgent Need of GSDL Software
by Mailing List Manager 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2006 09:04:15 +0100 From: John Rose <johnrose(a)alumni.caltech.edu> Dear Mr Nath, There have been three Greenstone CD-ROMs issued by UNESCO, but you should get the most recent one with version 2.70 which can be obtained from Jean-Claude Dauphin at UNESCO <jc.dauphin(a)unesco.org>. Alternatively, you can download the most recent version, 2.71 from the Greenstone site at http://www.greenstone.org Please note that 2.71 is an "unstable" version which has many new functions but has not been completely debugged. The latest "stable" version is 2.70w (more recent than 2.70u on the UNESCO CD-ROM) which can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12123 . The next stable version, 2.72, will be released around the end of 2006. It is very easy to update the version you are using by deleting the old one (keeping the existing collections) and installing the new one. Greenstone enables a very easy and complete conversion of CDS/ISIS databases, either "as is" (for publishing CDS/ISIS data only) or for building a digital library with the documents associated with CDS/SIS records. There is a guide for this at http://greenstone.sourceforge.net/wiki/gsdoc/others/CDS-ISIS_to_DL.doc . If you want to use version 2.71 for CDS/ISIS conversion (instead of using 2.70 or waiting for 2.72), there are a couple of fixes to be done, which I could provide. Finally, there is a South Asian Greenstone support effort whose website is http://greenstonesupport.iimk.ac.in ; you can sign up for the discussion/help group for this effort on this site, and/or for the main Greenstone discussion groups on the main Greenstone site.
