FWD : Digital Document Quarterly , Volume 6, Number 2, 2Q2007 is available
by sri priya 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Dear Professionals, The latest number of the Digital Document Quarterly is available at http://home.pacbell.net/hgladney/ddq_6_2.htm. It addresses: Digital Preservation NDIIPP Funding Withdrawn Another Task Force, and Also New NSF Funding Vintage Gadgets at the Computer History Museum Epistemology Notes on Natural Language Knowledge and Information Information Science What is Information Science? Rename Information Science as Knowledge Science? Symptomatic Synopsis Reading Recommendations Umberto Eco, Kant and the Platypus Eric Kandel, In Search of Memory Alan Hirschfeld: The Electric Life of Michael Faraday Andrew Spielman & Michael DAntonio, Mosquito Practical Matters Migrating from Microsoft Products to Open Source Persistent Storage on Your LAN Your Future PC The core of DDQ 6(3) is the beginning of a critique of Information Science. This critique, planned to continue in future DDQ numbers, explores the proposition that Information Science will not resolve current uncertainties about its place as an academic discipline on a par with Computer Science, but instead will fade within two decades, with its concerns becoming topics in more enduring university faculties. Information Science professionals who believe this prediction mistaken might wish to present counter-arguments to what appears in DDQ. To them, I suggest that Information Science will fade unless they can produce justifications and scoping statements much more robust than any I have read. Should they want DDQ to publish or cite of their refutations, I will be happy to include them provided that they accommodate the compact DDQ style. Readers are reminded that embedded links provide quick access to other authors' discussions of topics that DDQ mentions, in case they want more depth than DDQ can provide. Cheerio, Henry H.M.

In Malayalam successful attempts have been conducted from 1995 onwards. Even in the development of Malayalam script that can be processed by computer contributions of librarians are notable. The following are some details about notable attempts. Government Brennen College released the Malayala Granthasoochi 2004 -CDROM on 30.03.2004 which is first electronic catalogue using search mechanism for original Malayalam script based on UNESCO's CDS/ISIS. Details of this along with information on earlier similar attempts as well as the research for developing script and DBMS applications in Malayalam that the computers can search and sort according to the syntactic and semantic relations is available at http://eprints.rclis.org/archive/00007199/01/2004Granthasooji.pdf A historical perspective of such attempts in Malayalam is available at http://eprints.rclis.org/archive/00008565/01/2006Mal.prn.pdf A copy of the Electronic Catalogue in CD Rom can sometimes be available to institutions free of cost if they write to The Principal Government Brennen College, Tell cherry, Kannur District, Kerala.
