by Sukhdev Singh 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

Dear Friends, Some of you had problems in downloading the power point presentation of our recent paper on OpenMED@NIC [From http://snipr.com/229f4 and http://openmed.nic.in/2762/] . It was due to large size of the file. I have now created a PDF file that contains heavily reduced quality pictures but is of much lighter in size about 2 MB as compared to original presentation of 16 MB. This File has been uploaded to OADL Group under files[ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/oadl/ ] section and should be available from http://snipr.com/22pxt directly. If still you feel that it should be mailed to you, please let me know. Thanks --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Friend, Karen Muller, ALA Librarian and Knowledge Management Specialist, used the Google Co-op Custom Search Engine (CSE) to build this useful tool. and explains the goal of its use is "to be able to focus searches of web-based materials...," adding that, "Although many of the sites [included], particularly the association sites, have 'business information,' they are rich resources for articles on the range of library activitiescollection management, security issues, preservation, reader services, service to special populations, management, statistics, etc. At least at the outset, all the sites are live, active sites that are information rich."

concept of pay & publish your paper
by sunil satpathy 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Dear Professionals, You all may be aware that now a concept has been developed in our field that "you pay and publish your paper " particularly in case of Seminar/conference Volume which I think is the detoriation of quality of these publications.It is a matter of great regrate that the Natial associations like IASLIC,ILA etc are also demanding money with the paper even if these associations are not financially able to publish a pre seminar/conference volume without collecting money. When we are saying about the development of LIS profession and professionals ,we should think what short of development can be acheived with this system. So I draw your kind attention towards this emerging concept which aims to detoriate the quality of LIS literatures,education and profession. thanking you Dr Sunil Kumar Satpathy Sr.Librarian C.V.Raman College of engineering Bhubaneswar,Orissa --------------------------------- Why delete messages?
