LIBRARY GROUP PUBLISHES USER GUIDE TO WIPO MARRAKESH TREATY
by Ragaavendra R 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Dear Moderator kindly circulate. LIBRARY GROUP PUBLISHES USER GUIDE TO WIPO MARRAKESH TREATY The Library Copyright Alliance (LCA) has released a user guide to the recently adopted "Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print Disabled." LCA is an organisation representing three major North American library associations. The Marrakesh Treaty requires its contracting parties to adopt copyright exceptions aimed at improving access to copyrighted works by print-disabled persons. The agreement was adopted by the members of the World Intellectual Property Organization at the end of a diplomatic conference held in Morocco last June (IPW, WIPO, 26 June 2013). The paper, authored by Jonathan Band and published on 13 August, described the main features of the treaty. It provides explanations of the various provisions of the agreement and its substantive obligations for copyright exceptions to the right of reproduction, distribution, and making available to the public of works in accessible format copies - such as Braille format. The author also illustrates provisions on import-export of accessible format copies and circumvention of technological protection measures. In addition, the guide indicates that the United States could ratify the Treaty without amending its domestic law, given that current US legislation complies with the agreement's provisions. Finally, the author suggests the Marrakesh Treaty could benefit visually impaired persons in the US who are interested in reading foreign language books thanks to its import-export scheme.

by Shalini Urs 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

Dear LIS Professionals, We have been talking about repositioning the LIS profession for a while now. Here is an opportunity for the profession to retool itself with some of the emerging tools and technologies that are redrawing the boundaries of the field. Data Mining is one such area and we have Prof. Ian Witten who is familiar to the LIS profession through his Greenstone Digital Library software to give a tutorial on the topic “Data Mining with Weka” at the ICADL 2013. This is a great opportunity to learn to deploy the Open Source Data Mining Software Weka. I am sure everyone will agree with me that it is a rare opportunity to learn software directly from the developer of the software and an author of the book on the subject. Prof. Witten is the developer of the software Weka and also the author of the book “Data Mining:  Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques,” the third edition which was published in January 2011 by Morgan Kaufmann Publishers. You can also enroll for the upcoming MOOC called "Data Mining with Weka" which is now open at http://weka.waikato.ac.nz Where there's link to a short video trailer (on YouTube). The course will start on 9th September and extends over 5 weeks. It features: · Video lectures · Practical activities and online assessment · Extracts from Data Mining (3rd Edition): Witten, Frank & Hall (2011) The video lectures are fully captioned -- in English -- to make it easier for non-native English speakers to understand. You can also follow the course via Twitter or the blog: https://twitter.com/WekaMOOC http://wekamooc.blogspot.co.nz/ To learn more in person attend the tutorial on " Data mining with Weka" at the ICADL 2013 (http://www.isim.ac.in/icadl2013/tutorials.html) Dr. Shalini R.Urs Chair, ICADL 2013 & Executive Director and Professor International School of Information Management University of Mysore Manasagangotri Mysore - 570006 Phone : + 91 821 2514699 Fax : + 91 821 2519209 www.isim.ac.in ISiM - Management School of IT.

GOOGLE TO CREATE DRIVERLESS TAXIS TO CARRY PASSENGERS
by Ragaavendra R 27 Aug '13

27 Aug '13

Dear Moderator kindly cirucualte. GOOGLE TO CREATE DRIVERLESS TAXIS TO CARRY PASSENGERS Technology giant Google is planning to create a fleet of driverless 'robo-taxis' to pick-up and drop-off passengers. The ultimate goal of Google's self-driving car project is to create a 'robo-taxi' that picks up commuters on demand. Such a system could transform transport systems around the world, doing away with the need for most people to buy cars, company executives believe. They also believe that it would reduce the number of road accidents as well as having environmental benefits, 'The Times' reported. Google's move to create a driverless vehicle of its own comes after the company held talks with major manufacturers in recent months, hoping that carmakers would build vehicles that incorporated Google's self-driving software. Since the launch of its self-driving car project in 2010, Google has created self-driving systems that have been installed in both a Toyota Prius and a Lexus RX. Cameras, sensors, radars and the company's own software has been added to the cars. Such vehicles have been given the green light to be tested on British roads before the end of the year, website 'cnet.co.uk' reported. However, it is believed the carmakers have been reluctant to enter a partnership with Google, not wishing to give the technology giant a foothold within the motoring industry. Frustrated by the lack of progress, Google is understood to have turned to designing its own cars instead. Last week the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported that Google was close to reaching a deal with Continental, one of the world's largest car component makers, to supply parts for its vehicles. The robo-taxi system is being created within Google X, the department that develops futuristic technologies, including 'Glass' - a pair of high-tech spectacles that sends information straight to the eyes.
