Right to Information Act -Jobs should be given to Information Professionals
by vasanth raj 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

Dear Sir/Madam, The much awaited Right to Information Act has come into force in India.And already we have seen and heard that there is a great demand for information which are vital to its functioning and also to contain corruption and to hold Governments and their instrumentalities accountable to the governed.But Govt Authorities have totally neglected the library and Information Professionals, most of the people who have appointed as public Information Officer have came from Journalism and mass communication." Public Information Officer" job is best suited for LIS professionals where the skills of storage , organise and dissemination of Information is highly required.Already there are instances that Public Information Officers have failed to provide right information to the right people at a right time.This is because of lack of skills to organise and storage of Information.This is the right time to Library Association and Universities to pressurize Govt. appoint library and Information professionals as " Public Information Officer" and this will definitely helps people to have information quickly whenever they need.This will not only helps govt to function smoothly and huge opportunities for LIS professionals as well.

Some are even available for immediate download. Just go to springer.com/instructors to learn more! Second Edition of a Key Acoustics Textbook! The Science and Applications of Acoustics Daniel R. Raichel This new edition treats the broad range of modern acoustics from the basics of wave propagation in solids and fluids to applications such as noise control and cancellation, underwater acoustics, music and music synthesis, sonoluminescence, and medical diagnostics with ultrasound. Updates are provided on the use of ultrasound in industry, and deeper coverage is provided on medical uses of ultrasound. The chapter on music and musical instruments has been broken up into two chapters, one chapter covering music and musical instruments and the other covering sound reproduction and including the latest devices such MP3Â®; iPodÂ®; 5.1-, 6.1-, and 7.1-channel systems; and THXÂ® and IosonoÂ® theater systems. Additional coverage of the opto-acoustics and sonoluminescence phenomena is included. New problems have been added throughout. Physics of the Human Body Irving P. Herman Part of the Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering Series The goal of this text is to understand physical issues concerning the human body, in part by developing and then using simple and subsequently more refined models of the macrophysics of the human body. Topics include the mechanics of the static body and the body in motion, the materials properties of the body, muscles, the energetics of body metabolism, fluid flow in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, the acoustics of sound waves in speaking and hearing, the optics of the eye and vision, the electrical properties of the body, and the basic engineering principles of feedback and control in regulating all aspects of function. Other Books Spectral Methods: Fundamentals in Single Domains C. Canuto, M. Y. Hussaini, A. Quarteroni, T. A. Zang Canuto et al. now incorporate the many improvements in the algorithms and the theory of spectral methods that have been made since 1988. The initial treatment Fundamentals in Single Domains discusses the fundamentals of the approximation of solutions to ordinary and partial differential equations on single domains by expansions in smooth, global basis functions. The Frontiers Collection Because the Best View is Without Limits The scientific endeavor is all about discovering and understanding new and exciting facets of the world we live in. Although much of today's science has become fairly routine and is driven largely by technological and commercial forces, there is stillâand will always remainâa plethora of unanswered questions at the edges of the realm which we claim to understand. It is to these exciting 'Frontier' topics (and also their philosophical implications) that this new book series is dedicated. Click here for more information. New Book in the Frontiers Collection: Weak Links Weak Links: Stabilizers of Complex Systems from Proteins to Social Networks Peter Csermely Weak links, which are invisible in many networks, are crucial for our own stability and the stability of the world. A weak link can be a casual acquaintance as opposed to a close friend; local decisions made by the "worker" bee independently of the queen in the hive; the stabilizing effect of women in crises as they seek out social support instead of displaying "masculine" hostility; or trustful and cooperative working relationships in a company, which may achieve more than strong management. The book, a best-seller in Hungary, shows convincingly that, despite its overwhelming complexity, the modern world can be understood by using the simple logic of networks. Carefully balancing scientific analysis with popular science, the author introduces several viewpoints, often playfully, and invites the reader to take part in the formulation of scientific ideas. Smilies and other symbols identify hypotheses, additional information, and questions, enabling readers to select their preferred level of sophistication. Spite, a fictitious high-school student, accompanies the author on his journey to Net-land, the world of networks, criticizing and posing awkward questions as the journey progresses. But by the end of the book, Spite too has come to understand the important message. More... Whether you are an established researcher or a promising newcomer to Physics, we look forward to hearing from you. Please feel free to contact us with suggestion, comments, or questions. This is an exciting time here at Springer, and we look forward to continuing to bring you the best in scientific publishing. Sincerely, Scott J.

Although much of today's science has become fairly routine and is driven largely by technological and commercial forces, there is stillâand will always remainâa plethora of unanswered questions at the edges of the realm which we claim to understand. It is to these exciting 'Frontier' topics (and also their philosophical implications) that this new book series is dedicated. http://springer.r.delivery.net/r/r?1.1.Ee.2Tp.zUxPT.BuRaLI..H.Cjho.2iaW.Gn1… Click here for more information. http://a676.g.akamaitech.net/f/676/773/60m/images.delivery.net/cm50content/… http://a676.g.akamaitech.net/f/676/773/60m/images.delivery.net/cm50content/… http://a676.g.akamaitech.net/f/676/773/60m/images.delivery.net/cm50content/… http://a676.g.akamaitech.net/f/676/773/60m/images.delivery.net/cm50content/… http://springer.r.delivery.net/r/r?1.1.Ee.2Tp.zUxPT.BuRaLI..H.Cjhc.2iaW.Eg1… http://a676.g.akamaitech.net/f/676/773/60m/images.delivery.net/cm50content/… http://a676.g.akamaitech.net/f/676/773/60m/images.delivery.net/cm50content/… http://a676.g.akamaitech.net/f/676/773/60m/images.delivery.net/cm50content/… New Book in the Frontiers Collection: Weak Links http://springer.r.delivery.net/r/r?1.1.Ee.2Tp.zUxPT.BuRaLI..H.Cjhc.2iaW.Eg1… Weak Links: Stabilizers of Complex Systems from Proteins to Social Networks Peter Csermely http://a676.g.akamaitech.net/f/676/773/60m/images.delivery.net/cm50content/… Weak links, which are invisible in many networks, are crucial for our own stability and the stability of the world. A weak link can be a casual acquaintance as opposed to a close friend; local decisions made by the "worker" bee independently of the queen in the hive; the stabilizing effect of women in crises as they seek out social support instead of displaying "masculine" hostility; or trustful and cooperative working relationships in a company, which may achieve more than strong management. http://a676.g.akamaitech.net/f/676/773/60m/images.delivery.net/cm50content/… The book, a best-seller in Hungary, shows convincingly that, despite its overwhelming complexity, the modern world can be understood by using the simple logic of networks. Carefully balancing scientific analysis with popular science, the author introduces several viewpoints, often playfully, and invites the reader to take part in the formulation of scientific ideas. Smilies and other symbols identify hypotheses, additional information, and questions, enabling readers to select their preferred level of sophistication. Spite, a fictitious high-school student, accompanies the author on his journey to Net-land, the world of networks, criticizing and posing awkward questions as the journey progresses. But by the end of the book, Spite too has come to understand the important message. http://springer.r.delivery.net/r/r?1.1.Ee.2Tp.zUxPT.BuRaLI..H.Cjhc.2iaW.Eg1… More... http://a676.g.akamaitech.net/f/676/773/60m/images.delivery.net/cm50content/… http://a676.g.akamaitech.net/f/676/773/60m/images.delivery.net/cm50content/… http://a676.g.akamaitech.net/f/676/773/60m/images.delivery.net/cm50content/… Whether you are an established researcher or a promising newcomer to Physics, we look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Fellow Professional NIPFP library we use to receive 50 CD-ROM on and average per month. storing and retrieving these CD-ROM is difficult and more difficult is in dust proof. For reveling this problem we find ' Imation DiscStakka CD/DVD Library" is useful Space saving Single unit can store 100 CD-ROM Dust proof obtitracker software given along with unit Database of these CD Rom can create the following searchable field Name -Title of the CD ROM Type - (various types of CD, Data CD and audio CD etc.,) Content (IT takes automatically all the files in the CD_ROM) Comments (About the CD Abstract of 5 lines) IMage (Image of the CD cover can be store) It can be connect with USB port at any PC. First experiment we purchase one unit, It was working well in last one year; we recently brought five more unit for storing 500 CD-ROMs. further reference: 1. PCquest, August 2005, p129. Along with August 2005 Issue there is a CD (Exclusive 30 Minute Tech Vedio has the live demonstration of discStakka) 2.

NET Exemption
by Raj K Bhardwaj 31 May '06

31 May '06

Dear Members , From last twenty days we have received so many massages on UGC NET exemption for M.Phil,Phd students why you Library Professionals are taking it unstandardization of Education . You know level of research work in our country from last ten years are going down at very rapid pace because students intend to go to prepare for exam and they bye pass the reseach ,intellctual process of education . Exemption for M.Phil and Phd student is the only way to incease the research level. Think about research in scinece and other stream where a single idea if you generate and patent it can earn good reputation and money for country. So don't think exemption of NET for M.Phil and Phd student is decreasing our education standard. In my opinion We should impliment the NET Exam to get Admission in M.Phil and only after M.Phil students can enrollin Phd this should be the model . secondly if any one who cleared UGC _NEt in library science with old traditional syallabus how can teach new concept and technology application in Libraries to students . if UGC Net exam cleared person don't have good Communication skills how he/she can teach student ? I have seen so many students who cleared NET exam and could ' manage to get any Job in Private College .
