Open Journal Systems in Hindi
by Thomas Abraham 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Dear Colleagues, I would like to share a piece of information regarding Open Journal Systems(OJS). We have developed a Hindi interface for OJS as a part of "Scientific Journal Publishing in India" project <http://sjpi.ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/> which was done at National Centre for Science Information. A demo version of OJS with Hindi user interface (UI) can be accessed at; <http://sjpi.ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/ojshindi/> Although we have made the requisite changes for handling Hindi content, for the present, we haven't yet added any content in Hindi. If somebody is interested in publishing a prototype newsletter or a journal, published in Hindi language, is welcome to get in touch with us to publish such content using OJS. Looking forward for your feedback and suggestions. Thanks in advance With regards Thomas Abraham Project Assistant National Centre for Science Information, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Re: [LIS-Forum] topics for development of LIS professionals
by Rajesh Rangappa 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Dear professionals, I want to thank all professional and students for accepting and showing interest in preparing notes on " topics for development of LIS professionals ". and at the same time surprised by the reply of "Ms/Mr.N.A. Umme Asima student of MLISc from Mysore university" in LIS Forum digest vol-56, issue No-16 dated 26-11-07". Its quite interesting to answer his/her question. Being a informational professional we should know all subjects and for that matter with out knowing computer and its topics its very hard to name yourself information professional. The basement on which your profession is standing is computer and communication at present. I will make brief of my explanation. Natural language processing ofcourse is computer topic but its also required for Information professionals, It involves some of aspects techniques, skills which are essential for us. for eg: understanding systems,stressing words etc. I would suggest him/her to read this article in wikipedia. "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_processing" Then coming to graphic design its also required for informational professional because grapics can be effective way of presenting information in understandable and interesting to user, even its required in many aspects other than presentation I want Her/ him to visit following site to know who uses Graphic design " http://www.educationcenteronline.org/articles/Design-Schools/Who-Uses-Graph… " Lastely regarding Applied database design, we are major user of databases in world, we provide various services using database, so whats wrong in learning how to desing a database? Even some of universities have database management (RDBMS) etc as subject or topic, so its advancement of same and its application. For more details he/she can visit "http://www.databasedesign-resource.com/" to have firm idea on what database is? how its helpful for informational professionals. etc. and before concluding i want to answer some questions asked by emailing personally to me about my personnel details? I am proud to be student of Gulbarga University Dept. of LISc uotput for the year 2007. I know syllabus i have studies is most updated then any other University's, with practical exposure software like SOUL, EASYLIB and appropriate structure of 4 theory and 2 practicals. Good lab facility, covering almost all aspects of NET syllabus but still i feel that these are out date topics but my student friend has ideas the otherway round. He/she should have atleast gone through available literature, if not the contents of subjects before replying and should have contacted some of working informational professional other then her teacher's. Don't they feel this subjects and topics are useful and required for information professionals. I well come future questions?
