DRTC Colloquium(5) Metadata: A Practice and its Services towards Digital Environment
by Kaustav Saha 04 Jun '13

Dear Moderator, Please circulate this information among LIS Professionals. *Indian Statistical Institute* *Documentation Research and Training **Center* *Colloquium (5) – 2012-14* *Metadata: A Practice and its Services towards Digital Environment* *Abstract * * * Metadata is basically defined as data about data. It is about describing a particular resource which has distinct identity at any level of aggregation. The use of metadata record promotes resource discovery. Traditional approaches to metadata shifted from traditional to automate and subsequently towards digital library. In recent times considerations are being made for the development of a universal protocol for data exchange with different Digital Libraries. There is need for standardization of metadata. There should be broader solutions for the interoperability between every information sector. Applications need to be accessed through independent interoperability. This can be achieved by a collaborative effort of metadata harvesting. The OAI-PMH is a very recent development. It is being regarded as an important step towards information discovery in the digital library arena. This colloquium holds discussions on certain basic concepts underlying metadata design, models of metadata schema and to develop interoperability through OAI-PMH model. This colloquium provides an inside view on the functional requirements for extension of registry functions to enhance information discovery in the digital environment. *TOPICS*** *SPEAKERS*** 1 Introduction and Overview: Sumanta Bag 2 Metadata record and conceptual model : Kaustav Saha 3. Approaches towards standards of metadata : Debashis Naskar 4. Interoperability and services in digital environment : Vikas Bhushan 5.

Alert : Change of default ID/Password
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 03 Jun '13

03 Jun '13

Dear All, When you are using any software and that is online (Intranet/Internet) like web based staff client or any online ID/Password based services like Dspace etc. then its my observation that few Libraries are not changing their default ID/Password or the general passwords given by commercial software vendors. Therefore my view is before going online kindly change all the possible known ID/Passwords of the software to avoid hacking (Data loss). I hope few libraries will pay attention on the above. Thanking You.
