Porting of data from MS Excel/MS Access
by GIPE Library 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Dear Murali Greetings from the GIPE Library! With reference to your query "Porting of data from MS Excel/MS Access", please find below the details. Yes, there is a provision in Koha to import the data. The data can be either in MS Excel or MS Access. The Excel / MS Access data can be ported in Koha using a utility called MarcEdit. The utility is available on the net. While creating the worksheet in Excel ensure that most important data fields like Date of Accession, Accession Number, Author(s), Title, Subtitle, Edition, Publisher, Place of Publication, Year of Publication, Notes, Class Number / Call Number, Supplier, Invoice/Bill, Invoice Date, Type of Document (Book, CD, DVD), Type of Material (Reference/Circulation), etc are entered in separate fields. As excel or access does not support the repeatable fields, please create as many as author fields as you require. In author field please entre the data in the order Last Name, First Name and Middle Name. Ensure to insert a comma after Surname. I have name few fields only. If you wish / require, please add as many fields as you want. MARC21 / Koha will support all the fields that you entre. If you find any difficulty in creating the marc file for Koha or ISO file for any other software, do get back to me. To start with, those who have not started the library automation and have not thought of buying / installing any software also can go for this kind of Excel / Ms Access Data entry.

I am at the initial stage of my library automation process. As I have not obtained any library softwares as of now, may I create a bibliographic database in an MS Excel or MS Access? 2. In later stages will I be able to port the same data into any library software? To enable the system to make it happen, do I need any supporting softwares in addition? If yes, what are they? 3. If the database can be ported to the software, what are the main information I may need to capture in my excel worksheet like Author, Title etc...? Please flow your thoughts to help me with this issue. thanks and regards -- Muruli Librarian, Power System Training Institute (PSTI), National Power Training Institute (NPTI), Bangalore, India -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

by AJAY PRATAP SINGH 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Dear friends, I congratulate Dr D.B. Eswara Reddy, my fellow standing committee member of IFLA Science & Technology Libraries Section, on his election as the Chair of this section. He is the first person so far elected to this office from India and perhaps to any other section of IFLA.A student of Dr. S.R.Ranganathan, Prof. Neelameghan, and Prof. Bhattacharya at DRTC in late sixties, Reddy started his career as Science College Librarian at Wardha, Maharastra, worked for Central Leather Research Institute, Madras (CSIR), Bangalore University, National Academy of Agricultural Research Management, Hyderabad (ICAR), and retired in 1998 as University Librarian of Andhra Pradesh. Agricultural University (ANGRAU), Hyderabad. Reddy has taught LIS courses at Bangalore University and was one of the first recognized guides by Osmania University for doctoral research in LIS. Under the guidance of Prof. K.S.Deshapande, in 1982, he has obtained Ph.D. degree from Karnataka University. Reddy earned h! is second MLIS degree from Wayne State University, United States. In the New Millennium, he has joined the Texas A & M University Library Faculty. http://library.tamu.edu/directory/devaereddy Dr. Reddy was awarded Senior Fulbright Fellowship in 1987 for postdoctoral research in LIS at Wisconsin University, Madison.

BookTrack - Ebooks with Sound Effects & Music
by Mangesh J Ghodke 27 Aug '11

27 Aug '11

BookTrack - A new startup called Booktrack launched this morning (actually, the NYT launched it yesterday), in an effort to create a whole new genre of e-books. Booktrack creates synchronized soundtracks for e-books that aim to “dramatically boost the reader’s imagination and engagement”. The startup’s technology pairs music scores and sound effects with text, automatically paced to one’s reading speed. Booktracks can be downloaded for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, and Android apps are on the way. Check out the Booktrack Bookshelf for available titles. The company has teamed up with Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Park Road Post, and Full Fathom Five, and its technology is already fully integrated in the new novel ‘The Power of Six’ by Pittacus Lore (James Frey), published by HarperCollins Children’s Books. Booktrack and publishers will share profits with participating authors, composers, and musicians, the company said in a press release. Booktrack is backed by former PayPal and early Facebook investor (and longtime board member) Peter Thiel as well as authors who will be collaborating with the company. Other initial investors in and advisors to Booktrack include Mark D’Arcy, Director of Global Creative Solutions at Facebook, and Derek Handley, CEO and cofounder of mobile marketing and media company The Hyperfactory. The latter will also serve as Booktrack’s chairman. Paul Cameron, Booktrack’s co-founder and CEO, in the press release compares e-books in their current form with ‘movies with no soundtrack’, but I’m not sure I agree with that statement – reading is an entirely different way of consuming content. I’m not sure a soundtrack attached to an e-book can do anything but distract from the reading experience, actually. Of course, I’ve only briefly tested Booktrack’s technology with a single e-book, so I haven’t entirely made up my mind yet about its potential to disrupt the e-book genre. Wired’s Charlie Sorrel, for one, thinks the idea stinks. He makes a good case, but that won’t (and shouldn’t) stop the company from trying, evidently. In the coming weeks and months, Booktrack says it will publish a specially-curated compendium of short stories from some of the top authors in the world, starting in September with ‘In the South’ by Salman Rushdie. Booktrack will also release editions of classics, including titles such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Peter Pan, The Three Musketeers, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Romeo and Juliet and more.

Dear Sir, Data entry in excel sheet is the best method to store your document details before porting to any library software. It is easy to convert data in Excel to MARC-21 using MarcEdit software, http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php Then you can migrate data to any library automation software, both proprietary or Open Source like Koha.
