Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 10:37:05 +0530 From: Sukhdev Singh <esukhdev(a)gmail.com> In my opinion preference should be given to Open Source softwares in Libraries that follow Open Standards. DSpace (and / or EPrints and GSDL) should be ideal to teach. 'open architecture' does not make a software Open Source. --Sukhdev On 25 Aug 2006 07:07:58 -0000, Sourav Chakraborty <sourav_ch(a)rediffmail.com> wrote: > Dear Mr.Hariharan, > I suggest you also add LearnITy Digital Knowledge Library which is completely on 'open architecture'and has been developed from scratch in India for the first time. > This is a pure 'India Inc' brand and we should try to promote Indian brand in Educational institutions which meets international standard. > Kind Regards, > Sourav Chakraborty [truncated]

some interesting facts about books
by Mailing List Manager 28 Aug '06

28 Aug '06

Here are some interesting facts about books (from Peter Suber's blog): It's hard to count how many distinct books have ever been published but "the closest approximation" is WorldCat which, with a little refining, identifies 24 million. (Google's initial goal to digitize 15 million books, assuming no duplicates, puts it over the halfway mark.) 9.5 million books are only held by one library each. (Incredible. Digitization and OA would be like discovering a lost civilization.) Only 2.4 million books are held by more than 50 libraries each and only 301,000 are held by more than 500 libraries each. (Books are long-tail, both in distribution and demand. We need digitization and OA to overcome the limitations of even the largest print collections.) Now tell me "Should we not digitize all books?"
