"It's a shame, really, that Microsoft is eschewing Web-based standards in its upcoming Internet Explorer 7. The new browser will NOT support the CSS2 standards, and that means bad news for both Web publishers and anyone who regularly uses the Web.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Information required on Special Library Standard
by Rajesh Chandrakar 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

Dear Hena S Gupta, Yes, there is International Standard called "ANSI/NISO Z39.7 -2004 Information Services and Use: Metrics & statistics for libraries and information providers--Data Dictionary". This standard has been developed by the National Information Standard Organization (NISO), USA, identifies categories for basic library statistical data reported at the national level, and provides associated definitions of terms. In doing so it deals with the following areas: reporting unit and target population, human resources, collection resources, infrastructure, finances, and services. In addition, the standard identifies new measures associated with networked services, databases, and performance. The standard is not intended to be comprehensive in scope. Instead, it presents a framework for comparable library data by describing common elements pertaining to libraries of various types in the US. It does not address detailed statistics for specific areas where it seems more appropriate for experts in those areas to make recommendations (e.g., music, government documents, maps). Section 5 of this standard deals with the "Infrastructure", the website is http://www.niso.org/emetrics/current/section5.html. This standard has been developed for all kind of libraries, where you can look at your special library requirement. I hope this will help you.

Digital libraries
by Subbiah Arunachalam 05 Aug '05

Friends: Received this news in the mail today. We in India (and Africa) should follow this example. Best wishes. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] Digital scholarship in the library of the future Stefanie Olsen, The college library of tomorrow, News.com, August 3, 2005. Excerpt: Last December, Google started on a wildly ambitious and somewhat controversial plan to digitize the collections of some of the world's largest university and public libraries in an effort to make hard-to-find books accessible by the click of a mouse. But out of the spotlight, a number of universities are already working on bookless, digital libraries that reflect a growing understanding of how today's tech-savvy students access information. "The notion of a library as a physical collection has long ago been altered," said Michael Keller, university librarian and director of academic information resources at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. "It's now physical and virtual." Stanford librarians aren't the only academics working on the libraries of tomorrow. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of California school system, the University of Michigan and University of Virginia, among others, have also been digitizing their collections, developing new technologies and creating a lasting archive of electronic material.

Yahoo introduces audio search service
by Farooque Shaheen 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

Yahoo introduced a new Internet search service that allows users to find downloadable songs, podcasts to interviews and newscasts. The free service, which is still in its testing period, is called Yahoo Audio Search and can be found at http://audio.search.yahoo.com. The audio search feature for the first time breaches the barriers between the various online music services, providing access to more than 50 million digital recordings. It allows anyone to look for an individual song within the digital collections of 16 different services, including the iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody. Yahoo Audio works much like the company's video and image services. Users type in words or phrases and are returned a list of audio files that they can click on and play. The company has integrated Yahoo Audio Search with its video search service and has invited people to submit videos and music through Media Really Simple Syndication, so it can be found by the new audio search engine. It has also integrated tools from its comparison shopping search engine, which helps users find CD prices and make purchases from a variety of retailers.

'In Case of Emergency"- ICE, A crucial bit of Information
by venky 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

The London incident &; now the Mumbai floods have promoted certain concerns and I share with you something useful somebody just sent. As long as everyone knows what ICE stands for, it is not a bad idea. A useful thing to add to your mobile address book! It was thought up by an ambulance man/paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents there were always mobile phones but they didn't know which numbers to call and he thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name to file "next of kin" under. Following the disaster in London . . . East Anglian Ambulance Service have launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign with the support of Falkland 's war hero Simon Weston. The idea is that you store the word " I C E " in your mobile phone Address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency". In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them. It's so simple that everyone can do it. Please do. Please will you also email this to more people, it won't take too many 'forwards' before lots of people will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest. For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc. May be one can record even info like blood group in the ICE Dr. S.
