Students Seminar
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 23 Nov '10

23 Nov '10

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, Bangalore 560 059 Seminar on Online Retrieval: a fundamental dialogue of basics The civilizations have moved to an age wherein every individual has his/ her needs for information in day-to-day life, whilst in the past it was only a certain small learned group of people who needed information. Moreover, that was an age of information storage (concerned more than retrieval) and this is an age of retrieval, as storage isnt a big problem now. But the big problem is to locate it, after it has been stored in the proverbial huge pool of information. And also the big problem amongst the big problems is to retrieve the most relevant one of all the relevant ones. In this presentation we shall discuss all about the basics of an IR system, manual or automated and further discuss upon: o The information overload o Pre and post coordination in IR systems o Why go for automation and online o The formation of database(s) o Controlled vocabulary o Search techniques o Evaluation of search results In this presentation we will also try to find out, how a user can make subtle decisions and get good results rather than just find faults in information retrieval systems. Student Presenter : Amit Kumar Sarangi Venue : DRTC Classroom Date : 26/11/2010 Time : 2:00 pm All are cordially invited. Devika P.

Dear Professional friends There is confusion with regard to States that enacted Public Library Act. Here is the list. If anybody can add on this that helps the professionals and students. 1) Tamil Nadu – 1948 2) Andhra Pradesh - 1960 3) Karnataka - 1965 4) Maharashtra - 1967 5) West Bengal - 1979 6) Manipur - 1988 7) Kerala - 1989 8) Haryana - 1989 9) Mizoram - 1993 10)Goa - 1993 11)Gujarat - 2000 12)Orissa - 2002 13)Uttarakhand - 2005 14)Rajasthan - 2006 15)Uttar Pradesh - 2006 16)Chattisgarh - 2007 17)Bihar - 2008 18)Arunachal Pradesh - 2009 Note: I got news from authentic sources that Pondicherry did not pass the Public Library Act and is still in pipeline. With regard to Orissa, the date is often given as 2001, but the Act is tabled in Assembly in 2001 but approved by Governor on March 11, 2002. Hence the Act came into force from 2002. thanks varalakshmi -- Dr. RSR Varalakshmi Professor, Dept. of Library and Information Science., Andhra University.

DLINE Journals in Computing Technology, Information Science and Information Systems
by suruli nathi 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

Dear Friends DLINE Journals in Computing Technology, Information Science and Information Systems (http://www.dline.info) One of the major criticism against Indian journals is the 'quality of the content'. The reason is the absence of international review system. Now a few journals become international. One such platform is the DLINE journals in Computing Technology, Information Science and Management Information Systems. The DLINE is a major portal for computing journals. Currently the portal publishes ten journals in computing technology and information systems. All the journals have an eminent international editorial board, review board and the submissions are reviewed using well defined review parameters. Many of the Indian-published journals do not fit into a well structured database. Because, they do not permit the end users to search the content. The online content is not available for many journals. Even for the online content journals, the access is based on user name and passwords. However, the DLINE journals allow IP based online full text access. The major journal in the DLINE database is the Journal of Digital Information Management. It is the only one Indian-published journal which is indexed in many global secondary services including the Scopus and DBLP. We suggest our members to view these journals at www.dline.info -- With regards M.
