Computerization of Library

Dear Professionals, As I am taking initiative to computerize my library I am in need of information about how to get in touch with the library software vendor and other issues related to training and follow up. However, I am not aware of any such institutions/agencies that prvode service regard to the same. Alternatively, I have come accross a number of open source softwares such as KOHA, GREEN STONE etc. But I am finding it difficult to download the software and proceed further process as I am not technically sound enough. How do I go ahead with it? Can a freely available software be helpful to my situation? Please advice and educate me on the same. If you provide contact information of such Agencies which are locally available (Bangalore/Mysore), that would be a great help. I look forward with anticipation.

Indian Library Science Abstracts (ILSA)
by Prof. Juran Krishna Sarkhel 02 Mar '11

02 Mar '11

Dear Moderator, Please post the following news item at LIS-Forum: Indian Library Science Abstracts (ILSA) is the only comprehensive abstracting journal which covers the literature on Library and Information Science (LIS) produced in India. It is published by the Indian Association of Special Libraries and Information Centres (IASLIC), Kolkata, India. Indian Library Science Abstracts (ILSA), Vols. 34—39, 2000—2005 has been published. It contains 3139 bibliographical entries along with the abstracts of the literature on different facets of Library and Information Science produced in India during the period 2000—2005. Compilation work of ILSA Vols. 40—44, 2006—2010 is in progress and we will be in a position to publish it by December, 2011. IASLIC has already taken initiatives to reduce the time-lag of the publication of ILSA. It is hoped that ILSA will maintain the time schedule in its publication from vol. 45, 2011. Because of the growth of LIS literature in India it became a herculean task to collect and collate data for the publication of subsequent volumes ILSA in time. Different States of India have good number of LIS literature in regional languages to their credit. One important handicapped in respect of coverage of ILSA is the availability of data on the literature on LIS published in major regional languages of India, thus making it difficult to hold a proper control over these publications. Hence, we invite publishers of LIS literature, state library associations, members of the LIS_FORUM, and individual LIS professionals to furnish data on the literature on LIS published in regional languages either to Prof. Juran Krishna Sarkhel, Editor, ILSA, Indian Association of Special Libraries and Information Centres, P 291, CIT Scheme No. 6M, Kankurgachi, Kolkata-700054. Copy of the Indian Library Science Abstracts (ILSA), Vols. 34—39, 2000—2005 (Price: Rs. 2,500.00; $ 300.00) can be obtained from the IASLIC by sending a Demand Draft/Cheque of Rs. 2,000.00 (after 20% discount of its price) to be drawn in favour of “IASLIC” payable at Kolkata. A collection charge of Rs. 50.00 should be added for outstation cheque. Sincerely, Professor Juran Krishna Sarkhel Editor, ILSA Indian Association of Special Libraries and Information Centres, P 291, CIT Scheme No. 6M, Kankurgachi, Kolkata-700054, India -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
