LibSite.org - A Recommendation Service for Library-related Websites
by Mallikarjun 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Dear Professional http://libsite.org/ LibSite.org is built around the premise that library-related projects need and deserve a higher profile, that the current technology allows us to engage this material in any number of creative ways. FEATURES For that reason, the site features a blog, a wiki, RSS feeds and email alerts -- the last two being configurable down to individual tags. Users can rate sites and add them to a "favorites" page. There's even a LibSite Widget that people can put on their own sites: http://libsite.org/wiki/features USER-GENERATED Fundamental to the concept is user-involvement. Users can post recommendations ("webCites"). Users can add their own tags. Based on this input, others can then create RSS feeds and email alerts. All can participate if only to leave constructive comments and rate the work of others. http://libSite.org With regards Mallikarjun Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

6th Colloquium (DRTC) on Open Access Movement
by Sanjeev Kumar Sunny 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE DOCUMENTATION RESEARCH AND TRAINING CENTRE 8th Mile Mysore Road, Bangalore-560059 6th Colloquium (2006-08) On Open Access Movement ABSTRACT Journal prices were affordable till 1970s, when they began to rise faster than inflation. Prices have risen four times faster than inflation since 1986. Fortunately, just as journal prices were becoming unaffordable, the Internet emerged to offer an alternative - in the form of Open Access Movement. "Open Access" defines a movement that promotes free, unrestricted Internet access to the primary research literature as a public good. What make it possible are the Internet and the consent of the author or copyright-holder. OA is entirely compatible with peer review, and all the major OA initiatives for scientific and scholarly literature insist on its importance. There are two primary vehicles for delivering OA to research articles: OA archives or repositories and OA journals. There are open-source software for building and maintaining OAI-compliant archives. The development and usage of these archives are gaining worldwide momentum. Topics Speakers 1. Overview Sanjeev K Sunny 2. What's happening worldwide? Mithun Raj M. 3. Open Access Journals Ayesha Khatoon 4. Disciplinary Archives Syed Raiyan Ghani 5. Institutional Archives and Repositories Anila S. 6. OAI Tools: Software Mita Sarkar 7. Conclusion Radha Rani Rit Venue: DRTC Classroom Date: 18th of April 2007 Time: 2:00 pm All are cordially invited. Prof. K.S.
