Reverse publishing : an Intresting Read
by noufal＠tatamotors.com 01 Jul '13

01 Jul '13

Dear Friends, An interesting stuff appeared in the Business Standard. Hope you may interest to browse this. The way people consume news has changed dramatically over the last few years with an increasing number of people paying digital media a visit several times in a day to get their doses. Traditional media houses have realised with time that to grasp this change and ride the wave, they need to go beyond their structured thinking. They need to step into digital shoes. That brings us to the emerging trend of 'digital first' publishing or reverse publishing. Fast forward to 2013 and you will find print journalists breaking news as it happens online rather than holding it until the next edition. Broadcasters now do a simulcast of important news on their websites and on television while some even create multiple versions of the same story online as it progresses. According to the latest Oriella Digital Journalism study conducted among journalists globally, 39 per cent of journalists in countries like Canada, India, Russia, Italy and Sweden admit that their motto is now 'digital first'.

Dear Mr Ashok Please see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mg8h394E28 and http://sourceforge.net/projects/vkmkoha/files/ which is about installation of Koha, the same has been implemented at IIT Roorkee saharanpur campus. This is very easy to install and highly customized which turns your koha OPAC into librsry website also. Please feel free to contact if you are interested for the same.

It is true that Automation is must inevery library, if weprofessional dedicated to provide speed and accurate service to our valuable patron.I have also advocating the same concept with a very little experience.

After adopting it you may easily compare it with commercial ones like Libsys, VTLS, Soul etc. The most import thing is you will have full freedom to switch over to new software (commercial/OSS) without any difficulty but at the same time if you will adopt commercial you may be in big problem in switching over to open world as per latest trends. Please remember no commercial firm will easily allow you to migrate your data. So its my personal view is to go for OSS and compare it later on with commercial as per your requirements at the same time also keep contact with the Institutions who is using the various software.
