Dear Friends I have a HP Laserjet 1020 printer attached to my PC. PC runs on XP. When the printer is temporarily out of order (say no tomer or no paper) I can print the matter to "print-to-file" This asks for a file names and saves the printer output specific to HP 1020. How do I get a physical paper print out this printed file? Any clues? -- Dr P Vyasamoorthy, Society for Serving Seniors 30, Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015 Phone 27846631 / 94908 04278 http://societyforservingseniors.satyamcsr.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Promoting reading habits & collection sharing
by gayathri sen 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

Dear Chudamani, Most of the engineering colleges are already members of INDEST and getting the foreign journal access at a reduced rate. As far as sharing of books is concerned DELNET is doing a wonderful job by sending books through courier in the fastest possible time for all its member libraries. I get many books which are out of print or out of stock for reference through DELNET and my users are overjoyed by this. It is only when we provoide what the user wants, in the shortest possible time, somehow or the other, their faith in the library system increases, and you can see you readership and usage increasing by leaps & bounds. Provoide what they want, of course keeping the quality collections in mind. You can see the result yourself. When you cannot get what they want communicate the reason, either by mail or over phone to explain. Regards, Gayathri Sen PESIT --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

ISiM Special Lecture Series - 3 "Machine Learning: New Paradigms and Perspectives" By Prof. Sargur Srihari SUNY Distinguished Professor Department of Computer Science and Engineering Founding Director CEDAR (Centre of Excellence for Document Analysis and Recognition) University at Buffalo, State University of New York, USA All are cordially invited Date & Time: April 28, 2008: 3.30 PM Venue: Vidyanidhi Hall Mysore University Library Manasagangotri Mysore ------------ Abstract of the Talk: Machine learning methods are a systematic approach to designing high performance information processing systems. The methods of machine learning have been around for nearly fifty years, yet there is now a revolution ongoing with methods such as the fully Bayesian approach and conditional random fields. There is also a move to discover the broad underpinnings of a unified theory, to describe a range of seemingly ad-hoc methods, by using graphical models and the discriminative-generative taxonomy. The talk will begin with a tutorial approach to the central concepts underlying newer methods and then describe some results in the context of MINDS (Machine learning, Information retrieval, Natural language processing, Document analysis/ recognition and Speech recognition). Speaker's Bio Sargur (Hari) Srihari is a SUNY Distinguished Professor at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He teaches and does research in pattern recognition and machine learning in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. He served as Principal Investigator on a project that led to the first large scale deployment of automatic reading of handwritten postal systems in the world. He is presently serving on a U.S. National Academy of Sciences committee on "Identifying the Needs of the Forensic Community". An author of over 300 papers he has received several honours including Fellow of IEEE, Fellow of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) and Distinguished Alumnus of the Ohio State University College of Engineering. Srihari received a B.E. from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and a PhD from the Ohio State University, Columbus. ------ Dr. Shalini Urs Executive Director and Professor International School of Information Management University of Mysore Manasagangotri Mysore - 570006 Phone : + 91 821 2514699 Fax : + 91 821 2519209 ISiM - new age school for the knowledge economy www.isim.ac.in -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Promoting reading habits

I Totally agree with Mr. Sukhdev that problem lies somewhere else. I think the one should just not see one side of the coin only, the root cause of the problem expressed by Mr. David lies somewhere else i.e. 'Collection development.' But as per AICTE norms (http://www.aicte.ernet.in/12norms_engineering.htm) There should be a minimum of 12 technical journals - 6 Indian and 6 International for each branch of engineering. While this is essential for institutions offering P.G. programme, the number of International Journals may be relaxed, though preferred for those offering only U.G. Programmes. I would like to know through this forum about the situation in other engineering institution libraries what are they doing int their libraries to utilise this mandatory collection.

Dear Friends I am a Librarian with a self financing engineering college(only BTech/BE) in Kerala. Our library subscribes to around 80 print periodicals in the area of engineering and allied subjects. To promote reading habits of periodicals among students and faculty we have taken initiate like user education, current awareness etc. But the response to these initiatives are meagre. Yearly we are spending around 2 lakh on periodicals. So i need some valuable suggestions from my colleague's in promoting reading habits of our periodicals in optimum. Hope soon I will receive a lot of suggestion from you people. Thanking you Sincerely Binu David Librarian N J College of Engineering Pothandi Palghat -- ______________________________________________ IndiaInfo Mail - the free e-mail service with a difference! www.indiainfo.com Check out our value-added Premium features, such as an extra 20MB for mail storage, POP3, e-mail forwarding, and ads-free mailboxes! -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
