Date: 17 Jan 2007 08:44:45 -0000 From: hema singh <hemasingh2004(a)rediffmail.com> INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE DOCUMENTATION RESEARCH TRAINING CENTRE 8th Mile Mysore Road, R.V.College Post Bangalore-560059 Seminar On Project Management in Library and Information Center Project Management is a method and a set of techniques based on the accepted principles of management used for planning, estimating, and controlling work activities to reach a desired end result on time, within budget and according to specification. Projects have definite end points and temporary in nature but operations are ongoing, continuing and indefinite. Various Project Management techniques are available such as PERT, CPM, Gantt chart etc. PERT/CPM Techniques are very versatile techniques available for exploitation by Information Managers/librarians, and the executives. PERT/CPM minimizes the delays, interruptions and the conflicts in the whole functions of the system. Now Open source project management softwares are available, which can reduce human task, namely GanttProject, KPlatoOpen Workbench, DotProject etc. Project management is an almost unnatural act in libraries because libraries are mainly transaction-based institutions, but again in libraries there are many projects such as establishing a new service, implementing a new technology, information gathering, weeding a collection, digitizing a collection, installation of new equipments or facilities etc In this Seminar I will focus on the role of Project Management in Library and Information Center and application of CPM technique in acquisition section of a library. Speaker : Hema Singh ADIS 2nd year. Date & Time : 22nd January 2007, 2:00PM Venue : DRTC Classroom All are cordially invited Dr. Devika P. Madalli Seminar Co-ordinator

In answer to Dr Trivedi's question concerning engineering and technology databases, there are many. A fair number are listed at PerX Listing of Engineering Repository Sources http://www.icbl.hw.ac.uk/perx/sourceslisting.htm and many commercial databases in engineering are listed in http://www.saur.de/index.cfm?id=0000010424 and also in the more recent http://www.amazon.com/Engineering-Literature-Routledge-Studies-Informati on/dp/0824729641 Though it doesn't restrict itself to journal content, TechXtra http://www.techxtra.ac.uk/ might be useful to you, as it cross-searches 31 different collections (databases) in technology, and thereby facilitates access to over 4 million items on technological subjects, many (but by no means all) of which are freely available in full text.

Ddatabases in the field of molecular biology
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Friends: Please spread the word among all new biologists and specialists in bioinformatics. Thanks and best wishes. Arun ------- Advice for OA database maintainers The January 2007 issue of Nucleic Acids Research is devoted to databases, mostly OA databases. (Thanks to bbgm.) From Alex Batemen's editorial introduction to the issue: The 2007 Database Issue of Nucleic Acids Research is the fourteenth in a series dedicated to databases in the field of molecular biology. These databases are essential resources for experimental and computational biologists alike and this compilation provides descriptions and updates of the most important of these databases, and serves to introduce newly compiled resources that provide specialist information in the biological area. The current issue is the largest yet and presents 68 new databases and updates of 106 existing databases. The 2007 Database Issue is not included in the print subscription to NAR. Instead, the Database Issue is freely available online to all under NAR's open access model. However, print copies are available for separate purchase by institutions and individuals.... Having now edited the database issue for 4 years and carefully inspected over a thousand different biological databases. I feel I am well placed to give advice to prospective authors. There are many important aspects to any web accessible database that might be published in [a future edition of] this issue.... Do attribute the original sources of derived data. Do make sure that you are not breaching any license terms by redistributing data.... Do make data available for bulk download as flat files or relational database tables with associated documentation. Web services and DAS are becoming popular ways to make databases programmatically available. Making these available can stop your website being ground to a halt by users trying to screen scrape all your data. Do allow users to provide feedback on your data and submit new data.... ___________________________________________________________ New Yahoo! Mail is the ultimate force in competitive emailing.

PM asked to launch library commission
by Mailing List Manager 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2007 12:56:36 -0800 (PST) From: Pijushkanti Panigrahi <panigrahipk(a)yahoo.com> PM asked to launch library commission Statesman News Service NEW DELHI, Jan. 14: The National Knowledge Commission has asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to constitute a National Commission on Libraries and create a Library Fund with an outlay of Rs 1,000 crore to promote knowledge economy in the country. �A permanent, independent and financially autonomous NCL should be set up by the central government as a statutory body to address all the information needs of the citizens,� Commission chairman Mr Sam Pitroda said in a letter to the Prime Minister. As a prelude, the government should immediately set up a national mission of libraries, which should subsequently be converted into a permanent commission. �A Central Library Fund should be instituted for upgrading existing libraries over a period of 3-5 years. Initially, the value of fund from the government may be Rs 1,000 crore, which may be matched by the private sector through corporate philanthropy,� Pitroda suggested in the letter. He suggested that in order to facilitate the coordinated development of libraries across different sectors and to provide legislative framework, required legal support and financial backing to the library sector, the government could consider including libraries in the Concurrent List of the Constitution. Mr Pitroda pointed out that the Task Force of the Department of Culture be given adequate financial and administrative support to prepare a national consensus by undertaking a countrywide survey on a priority basis. Mr Pitroda also suggested that an Indian Institute of Library and Information Science be set up to boost research and development on libraries. The Commission Chairman pointed out that a specified percentage of the central and state education budgets must be earmarked for libraries and that public libraries ought to be run by the local self-government. �Libraries should also integrate with all other knowledge based activities in the local area to develop a community based information system,� he wrote in the letter. The catalogues of all libraries should be put on local websites with necessary linkages to enable networking of different types of libraries and setting up of the National Repository of Bibliographic Records and a centralised collaborative virtual enquiry handling system using the ICT, he said. http://www.thestatesman.net/page.arcview.php?date=2007-01-15&usrsess=1&clid… Dr Pijushkanti Panigrahi, Reader, Dept of Lib and Inf Science, University of Calcutta, 87/1 College Street,Kolkata - 700 073, West Bengal, India, email : panigrahipk(a)yahoo.com, (M) : +91 94342 43522.

[IFLA-L] WebCite - archiving system for webreferences
by Mailing List Manager 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2007 09:05:47 -0800 (PST) From: J. K. Vijayakumar <vjkjk(a)yahoo.com> http://www.webcitation.org/index Background Authors increasingly cite webpages in medical and scientific publications, which can "disappear" overnight. The problem of unstable webcitations has recently been recently referred to as an issue "calling for an immediate response" by publishers and authors. What is WebCiteR? WebCiteR is an archiving system for webreferences (cited webpages and websites), which can be used by authors, editors, and publishers of scholarly papers and books, to ensure that cited webmaterial will remain available to readers in the future. If cited webreferences in journal articles, books etc. are not archived, future readers may encounter a "404 File Not Found" error when clicking on a cited URL. A WebCiteR reference is an archived webcitation, and rather than linking to the live website (which can and probably will disappear in the future), authors of scholarly works will link to the archived WebCiteR copy on webcitation.org. How do I use WebCiteR as an author to archive webpages I want to cite? WebCiteR is an entirely free service for authors who want to cite webmaterial, regardless of what publication they are writing for (even if the journal/publisher authors are writing for are not yet listed as members. Membership only means some sort of formal agreement with a publisher). We ask, however, to use WebCiteR primarily in the context of scholarly publications. The author of a citing manuscript can: * Either manually initiate the archiving of a single cited webpage (by using either the WebCite bookmarklet or the archive page) and manually insert a citation to the permanently archived webdocument on webcitation.org in his manuscript, or; * Upload an entire citing manuscript to the WebCite server via the comb page, which initiates the WebCiteR tool to comb through the manuscript and to archive all cited non-journal URLs. The WebCiteR software also replaces all URLs in the manuscript with a link to the permanently archived webdocument on webcitation.org. How can I use WebCiteR as an editor? If you are a journal editor, publisher, or copyeditor, the first thing you should do is to insert a note in your "Instructions for authors" asking your authors to use webcitation.org to permanently archive all cited webpages and websites, and to cite the archived copy rather than the original link, which may be "dead" in a few weeks, months, or years. Secondly, editors/copyeditors should initiate the archiving of cited webpages (see instructions above "How to use WebCiteR as an author") and replace all webcitations in a manuscript with links to the archived copy, before the manuscript is published. Thirdly, please notify us that you are using WebCiteR -- you will become a member of the WebCiteR consortium (which is free) by filling in the form. How can I use WebCiteR as a publisher? Contact us to become a partner in the WebCiteR consortium by filling in the form. Ask your editors to instruct their authors and copyeditors to cache all cited URLs "prospectively" before submission or at least during the copyediting process. Talk to us if you would like to submit XML files (for us to archive cited webpages automatically), or if you would like to have back-issues of your journal(s) analyzed for webcitations and the cited documents "retrospectively" archived.
