All, We are looking to implement Koha at few medium to large libraries as a technology show case or case study. We will do such implementations at no cost to the library. Currently we are offering this for one library at Bangalore only. The library must: * have more than 1 lac items * must be willing to move all processes - circulation, cataloging, serials, reporting and acquisitions to Koha * be willing to commit resources to complete the implementation quickly * be willing to commit resources to host and maintain the installation for a period of 3 years * be willing to develop detailed customization specifications * have existing server hardware or willing to invest in it * host koha on a publicly available ip We will prefer to do this for public or non-profit libraries or those that can demonstrate paucity of funds. I request interested libraries to fill this form: http://spreadsheets.google.com/a/osslabs.biz/viewform?formkey=cjJlSl9Dd0FhM… Thanks, Savitra Sirohi MD, Nucsoft OSS labs http://www.osslabs.biz -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

For M.Phil, the university will prepare the rank-list based on the performance of the candidate in the written test and viva-voce that carry 75 marks and 25 marks respectively, and the marks obtained in Post-Graduation. The written examination and viva-voce will be in the same pattern for admission to Ph.D. Candidates with a pass in NET/SLET or any other national eligibility test will be exempted from the written test alone. These regulations arrived at by the university based on the format provided by the Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education were approved at the meeting of the Standing Committee on Academic Affairs chaired by the Vice-Chancellor M. Ponnavaikko on Saturday. M.Phil. candidates will have to take up courses on research methodology, an elective paper in an area related to the research, and on the topic of research, besides a course on general skills required for teaching-learning process. Forty per cent will be allotted for continuous internal assessment and the rest for end-semester university examination.

The doctoral committee formed for each scholar can waive or add one or more courses with the university’s approval, the Vice-Chancellor said. The DRC should certify that the chosen topic of research is not a repetition of earlier research works. To avoid repetition, the university will consolidate centrally the titles of Ph.D. degrees it has awarded in various subjects so far, and host the consolidated list in its website and the website of the Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education. ** http://www.thehindu.com/2009/06/28/stories/2009062856690100.htm -- B.Jeyapragash Assistant Librarian Bharathidasan University Tiruchirappalli -24 Mobile :99449-81455 URL: http://jplisbdu.blogspot.com/ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
