Open universities
by Baban Chavan 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Dear Friends Open/distance education has opened the avenues for the people those who are denied opportunities by conventional system. Hence it is very sad decision by U.G.C.barring open universities to conduct the research programmes. In fact research programmes are self study course and hence there is no need to bring them in regular stream. Even in conventional system the people doing research work(Ph.D.) are mostly involved with the self study process with their supervisor. It is nothing but the open /Distance education. Present age is the web based and everything is becoming open throughout the world and same is the case with open education .The world is promoting open education through the open universitie. and here in india we are barring the open universities. Instead of doing this please rectify the faulty systems to avoid the monopoly of conventional education where doing Ph.D. is a deram for the common people. U.G.C. should reconsider its decision.This is with reference do Dr, G. Sarojas's posting.

by Vimal Kumar 19 Aug '09

Dear Friends, PMB and OpenBiblio are two open source library management systems suitable for installation in Windows. Both ILS are written using PHP programming language, therefore installation and maintenance is easy. I put forward installation manual of PMB and OpenBiblio with the hope that you get a chance to try two popular open source ILS. I used XAMPP, cross-platform web server package for the installation process. XAMPP will reduce the effort for the installation, configuration and maintenance of PHP, MySQL and Apache in Windows. Click on the following link to open the documentation, http://osilms.pbworks.com/ Remember to inform me your valuable comments. -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.
