News: LEARNING BY LISTENING
by pku＠nic.in 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Dear all, The following story shows the the mode of learnig by listening. I thought it useful to you. regards P K Upadhyay LEARNING BY LISTENING MP3 technology is revolutionizing education, with students shifting from reading books to using iPods and headphones Lindleigh Whetstone wears headphones as she shoves clothes into the washing machine. Her classmate, Stepheno Zollos, wears them as he shops for groceries. An onlooker might assume the teens are listening to the latest top 40 hit, but they're really learning Spanish. Students are now using MP3 players more to listen to downloaded books, textbook study guides and language labs on-the-go. The percentages are still small, according to a recent study by market research firm Harrison Group Inc., but the numbers are growing and companies that make educational materials are banking on them climbing higher.

AICTE norms
by srinivas rao 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Dear all I am working in an engineering library. I have certain doubt regarding AICTE norms . As per AICTE norms, at the time of establishment for three branch with an intake of 240. There should be minimum 4000 volumes in the library, which means 250 titles with four multiple copies and 1000 volumes for basic science. In case the intake is less than 240 do the norms remains same i.e. 4000 volumes or is it different. If so, please give the details. For yearly additions it mentions that they must be increased as one title per student admitted to a branch. if the intake is 60 students for computer branch in first year. Does that mean I have to increase 80 title in computer branch or 80 titles for each SE,TE & BE which makes 240 titles in all. There is nothing mentioned about number of copies to be increased for yearly addition does that mean it is understood that four copies are to be increased. Please specify. In case of increase in intake should we follow norms for yearly addition of books. If anyone have information regards the same. Please cooperate me. Thanking you in anticipation.

SCOPUS
by Enukonda Rama Reddy 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Dear Moderator, Can you please post the following message on the LIS-SERVE Dr. E. Rama Reddy Dear Professional Colleagues, There is good news for scholars. Professionals in India can look at alternative powerful Abstracting, Indexing and Citation Database (SCOPUS) at last. Scopus also includes over 170 highly selected Indian Journals in it and brings visibility to the Indian Journals to the International Scholars. Please see the following observation. In the Charleston Advisor - the latest in a line of comparative reviews by Louise Deis and David Goodman - Scopus is finally awarded full parity with Web of Science. Dismissing previous objections based on apparent "content gaps" in Scopus, Deis and Goodman conclude: "The truly important difference is...that Scopus offers a wider selection of journals and intelligent interface, while WoS offers a much longer selection of years". The full article can be gotten from Update on Scopus and Web of Science (December 2006) Even more striking are the findings of Michael Norris and Charles Oppenheim in the Journal of Infometrics. Reviewing "alternatives to WoS" in the key area of social sciences, the authors state clearly: "Scopus offers the best coverage from amongst these databases and could be used as an alternative to Web of Science as a tool to evaluate the research impact in the social sciences." http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.joi.2006.12.001 For more information Please contact: p.kumar(a)elsevier.com Dr. E.
