British Library sticks 1 million pics on Flickr, asks for help making them useful Finding the right picture is hard when you don't even know what they all are. by Peter Bright <http://arstechnica.com/author/peter-bright/> - Dec 14 2013, 5:45am IST <http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/12/british-library-stick…> In 2008, the British Library, in partnership with Microsoft, embarked on a project to digitize thousands of out-of-copyright books from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Included within those books were maps, diagrams, illustrations, photographs, and more. The Library has uploaded more than a million of them onto Flickr <http://www.flickr.com/photos/britishlibrary>and released them into the public domain. It's now asking for help. Though the library knows which book each image is taken from, its knowledge largely ends there. While some images have useful titles, many do not, so the majority of the million picture collection is uncatalogued, its subject matter unknown. Next year, it plans to launch a crowdsourced application to fill the gap, to enable humans to describe the images. This information will then be used to train an automated classifier that will be run against the entire corpus. The library is also soliciting ideas for how to present the collection to aid the tagging and metadata generation, and also make the pictures easier to navigate. -- Warm regards.

IASLIC's Request to sign in the Petition for setting up of IILIS
by IASLIC Kolkata 14 Dec '13

14 Dec '13

Petitioning Hon'ble Minister of Culture, GOI, Secretary Ministry of Culture, GOI, Jt Secretary Ministry of CUlture, GOI, Sam Pitroda, Hon'ble PM, Hon'ble Minister of State, Hon'ble Minister Dr.Tharoor <http://www.change.org/petitions/hon-ble-minister-of-culture-goi-secretary-m…> Hon'ble Minister of Culture, GOI, Secretary Ministry of Culture, GOI, Jt Secretary Ministry of CUlture, GOI, Sam Pitroda, Hon'ble PM, Hon'ble Minister of State, Hon'ble Minister Dr.Tharoor: IASLIC demands setting up Indian Institute of Library and Informa 1. 1. 2. Petition by Indian Association of Special Libraries and Information Centres (IASLIC)<http://www.change.org/organizations/indian_association_of_special_libraries…> Dear Professional Friends We all are aware that the Working Group on Libraries under National Knowledge Commission (NKC) in its Report to the Nation (2006-2009) entitled “Libraries: Gateway to Knowledge – A Roadmap for Revitalization” recommended the formation of Indian Institute of Library and Information Science (IILIS) of national importance along with other nine major recommendations on libraries. In pursuance of this, a High Level Committee National Mission on Libraries (NML) had been set up by the Government of India. It was extremely heartening to us (IASLIC) with the hope that this NML would give due importance in implementing all ten major recommendations including setting up the Indian Institute of Library and Information Science (IILIS) of national importance which, as a nodal body, would give a vital direction to LIS education, research and practice for both high speed generation and use of knowledge needed for brining a structural change in Indian economy. IASLIC demands that the IILIS is absolutely the need of the hour for the LIS profession of Library and Information Science to fulfill its role as a corner stone of the knowledge society. I am sure; all of our fellow professionals bear the same feelings in their heart. But unfortunately NML has not taken yet any positive step to this effect. At least we could not find any such prominent effort on the part of NML. Thus we, on behalf of IASLIC, wrote to the Hon’ble Prime Minister expressing our grievance in this regard and also approached to Dr Barun Mukherjee, Hon’ble MP (Rajya Shabha) to help Library Professionals of India. IASLIC is ever grateful to Dr Mukherjee for taking up this matter and also for putting forward a demand in the Parliament on August 14, 2013. *“Dr Barun Mukherjee (West Bengal) : Sir, I would urge upon the Minister of Culture to set up a National Institute of Library and Information Science as is being demanded by thousands of library professionals and has been recommended by the National Knowledge Commission (NKC) constituted in 2005 initiated by the Prime Minister and headed by Mr Sam Pitroda. The Working Group of Libraries under NKC in its Report entitled “Libraries: Gateway to Knowledge – A Roadmap for revitalization” recommended in 2006 the formation of Indian Institute of Library and Information Science of national importance. * *With the growing technological development and advancement in research and studies, library and information science have assumed added importance. To feed the need of expertise for the purpose, a national institute for studies, research and training is essential, which we are lacking till now, particularly in the field of public library. Although LIS courses up to Post Graduate and Ph D levels are offered in many of the universities, overall guiding model at the national level is yet to be developed. NKC has, therefore, recommended NILIS as a nodal body. But this is yet to be implemented by the Government. Even it is not known whether the recommendation has been rejected, and, if so, why? LIS is now a full grown professional subject, having its exclusive Encyclopedia in the International Market. When other professional subjects are having apex academic bodies, why not the LIS?* *I, therefore, request the Ministry of Culture to take necessary steps to set up the NILIS at an early date.”* I, on behalf of IASLIC, request all of our fellow professionals and professional associations to join hands to strengthen this movement. With warm regards Prof. Pijushkanti Panigrahi General Secretary IASLIC It's important. Will you sign it too?
