MISSION TO REVIVE BOOK WEALTH
by Ragaavendra R 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

MISSION TO REVIVE BOOK WEALTH The students at Government Central High School, Attakkulangara, are engaged in an interesting treasure hunt. They find one word a day, from the books at the library. In the process they get to know what wealth their library possesses - thousands of old and rare books, which were lying neglected until last year. In 2014, a group of volunteers had embarked on the 'Library First Aid' project led by Achuthshankar S Nair, Honorary Director, Centre for Bio-informatics, University of Kerala. They had managed to go through each and every book, and sort what was then a mess, into a library, useful for the students. Usha Raghavan, the Mathematics teacher who serves as the library in-charge, says that they have counted 16,000 books. Some of the moth-eaten, yellowed books are works from another century. "Chances are that the collection might have some rare books, like those written by Vedachalam," says Achuthshankar. "A proponent of Dravidianism, Vedachalam had changed his name to Maramalai Adikal, a name devoid of Sanskrit words. He was a teacher at the Central School," says Achuthshankar. After the Library First Aid project which was supported by C-DIT, Achuthshankar realised that the project can be easily replicated in all schools where books were lying neglected. He made a proposal to the government for a project where volunteers would be given food and travel expenses, in return for the 'first aid' service. Alongside, there was a proposal to establish a 'School Heritage Library'. Every school should donate books older than 50 years to a well-appointed centralised library, which has a librarian. ''Since schools do not have the post of a librarian, this idea can make sure that the books do not lie abandoned. If there are duplicate copies of the same book, the schools can generate money by selling them,'' says Achuthshankar. At Attakkulangara, the First Aid project has opened up a world of interesting words to the children. Usha says that the children were told to find words only for the month of November, but have become really interested in the 'treasure hunt'. However it cannot just be any word, and has to be something in which you can read the history and heritage of a place, the school librarian has told them. In a place like their school library, that should be easy.

GOOGLE TO RANK WEBSITES BASED ON FACTS NOT LINKS
by Ragaavendra R 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

GOOGLE TO RANK WEBSITES BASED ON FACTS NOT LINKS Google plans to rank websites on its search engine based on factual accuracy, a move that will prevent sites full of misinformation from appearing first in search results. The search engine currently uses the number of incoming links to a Web page as a proxy for quality, determining where it appears in search results. So pages that many other sites link to are ranked higher. The disadvantage of the system is that websites full of misinformation can rise up the rankings, if enough people link to them, 'New Scientist' reported. The trustworthiness of a web page might help it rise up Google's rankings if the search giant starts to measure quality by facts. A Google research team is adapting that model to measure the trustworthiness of a page, rather than its reputation across the web. Instead of counting incoming links, the system will count the number of incorrect facts within a page. The score they compute for each page is its Knowledge-Based Trust score. The software works by tapping into the Knowledge Vault, the vast store of facts that Google has pulled off the internet. Those facts which the web unanimously agrees on are considered a reasonable proxy for truth. Web pages that contain contradictory information are bumped down the rankings.

Open textbooks
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Friends: Hundreds of quality college-level open textbooks are available and the number is expected to increase rapidly. A large number of Foundations and academic consortia in the US are actively promoting and adopting open textbooks and thus helping the student communities save millions of dollars. The LIS community in Indian academic institutions should alert the heads of their institutions, faculty and students to this development. I give below a few examples. <http://collegeopentextbooks.org> covers a wide range of fields. Another agency is <http://oerconsortium.org/discipline-specific/>. They also cover a wide range. Some of these books are dynamic, meaning they change over time incorporating more recent examples and student quizes. "There are over 160 open textbooks available on the Open Textbook Library ( open.umn.edu <http://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/>) that faculty could adopt in their classrooms immediately," says the report, “Open Textbooks: The Billion-Dollar Solution,” available at www.studentpirgs.org/textbooks. Best wishes. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
