Prof. A. C. Tikekar - A Tribute
by Syed Sajjad Ahmed 30 Oct '10

30 Oct '10

Dear Library Friends, It is indeed shocking to hear the sad demise of Prof. A. C. Tikekar last thursday in Mumbai. I was knowing him since I was a student of M.Lib.Sc. at Mumbai University way back in 1987-88. He was an excellent teacher and a great Librarian. In fact, Prof. Tikekarji had held with distinction the office of the Librarian and as the HOD of Library Science at the Mumbai University before retiring in 1996. He earned the respect and admiration of his students and all the library fraternity for his dedication, sense of service and innate simplicity. His services to the Indian Library field shall always be remembered. May his soul rest in Peace.

Indian Citation Index (IndianCitationIndex.com) Launched
by Puna Das 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Indian Citation Index (IndianCitationIndex.com) Launched India is contributing good amount of knowledge contents to world literature but there is no tool for evaluation and measurement of its impact, quality and quantity. Accordingly, Indian researchers, scholars, policy makers, decision takers, funding agencies and others too have been facing a big problem to perform/assess the contribution/contributors objectively. At international level few tools/databases like WoS and SCOPUS are available but coverage of Indian knowledge contents in these databases are negligible. Therefore, these tools/databases are not adequate to evaluate/analyze India's knowledge contents. As is known that to come over such limitation, few of the countries, like China, Korea, Japan etc. have already brought out their own citation indexes for proper evaluation and representation of their R&D contribution. With the same approach and bridge existing gap, I am happy to inform you that the "Indian Citation Index (ICI)" has come in existence for the benefit of R&D community including researchers, planers, decision makers, funding agencies etc. and it is ready/available for users w.e.f. 25th October 2010. Indian Citation Index (ICI) is a home grown citation database, planned to have multidisciplinary information/knowledge contents from about 1000 top Indian scholarly journals. It provides powerful search engine to perform search and evaluate researchers, policy makers, decision makers, institutions, subjects, city, state etc. Presently, ICI have five years back files data depth of 400 plus journals which would go over to 1000 journals by March/April 2011. ICI is equipped with all major search features including analytics to serve the requirements of users. Also, by the end of December 2010, few more specific and elaborative search features will be in place to meet local needs more specifically. Indian Citation Index (ICI) is developed by a society named "The Knowledge Foundation" which is fully supported by M/s Divan Enterprise. ICI as a product for sale, distribution, enter into agreements, receive revenue etc is exclusively owned by M/s Divan Enterprise. The ICI may be accessed by its URL: www.indiancitationindex.com. We are happy to announce that Indian Citation Index (ICI) has been launched on 25th October 2010 at New Delhi, India. For further details please contact: Prakash Chand Head ICI Project & Former Scientist, NISCAIR Email: prakash[at]indiancitationindex.com www.indiancitationindex.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr. Anup Kumar Das New Delhi, India http://anupkumardas.blogspot.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
