[Fwd: Scientists as Foxes and Hedgehogs!]
by Subbiah Arunachalam 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

Friends: Scientists are of different kinds. Some dig deeper (and work on a single problem) and others have a broad sweep. Read Freeman J Dyson's article in the latest issue of NY Review of Books. For providing information support to scientists, one must know their research interests and the way they do science. Arun In the latest New York Review of books (dated 20 Oct 2005): http://www.nybooks.com/ Wise Man <http://www.nybooks.com/articles/18350> *By Freeman J. Dyson* Great scientists come in two varieties, which Isaiah Berlin, quoting the seventh-century-BC poet Archilochus, called foxes and hedgehogs. Foxes know many tricks, hedgehogs only one. Foxes are interested in everything, and move easily from one problem to another. Science needs both hedgehogs and foxes for its healthy growth, hedgehogs to dig deep into the nature of things, foxes to explore the complicated details of our marvelous universe. Albert Einstein was a hedgehog; Richard Feynman was a fox. --- Arun

A new document format that guarantees eternal life to documents
by Subbiah Arunachalam 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

>From Peter Suber at 10/11/2005 10:05:00 AM. New group pushes the OpenDocument Format The OpenDocument Fellowship is a new advocacy organization pushing the OASIS Open Document format. From the press release (October 10): The Open Document Fellowship promotes the new internationally agreed standard for digital documents, Open Document Format (OpenDocument). The Fellowship, formed in September, has attracted support and interest from around the globe. The Fellowship's aims include providing factual information about the Open Document Format, such as the degree to which companies and their products are committed to supporting the format, and making sure that OpenDocument can be always supported by any software application or company. The organisation also supports the development of software tools to complement the format....Founding member Adam Moore, Friends of OpenDocument Inc., said: "As a true Open Standard, OpenDocument is available for the benefit of all. It levels the competitive playing field and provides wider opportumities for innovation, diversity and choice. This choice and diversity is a natural evolutionary consequence of the market maturity of general productivity software. We believe all responsible citizens in the digital market place will embrace ODF as the central focus for document production." Users whose data is stored in OpenDocument will never again face the problem of not being able to access data because the application that created it is no longer available to them. Open standards already enable users of different computer systems (both hardware and software) to access the Internet and communicate with each other. ODF enables users of different computer systems to freely exchange and use files.

MULISSA Quiz
by N.S. Harinarayana 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

Believing in the axiom that like charity, knowledge begins at home, the Department of Library and Information Science (DLIS), Mysore organized a written quiz - �How well do you know your library?� for the students of MLISc and MIM on the Saturday, October 8, 2005. The objective of the quiz was to motivate the students to know more about their library. The quiz prompted the students to visit the nook and corner of the Mysore University library (MUL) observing the facilities and services available; interact with the library staff; and interact among themselves about the MUL to prepare for the competition. Fifty five students attended the competition. The event is organized as one of the activities of Mysore University Library and Information Science Association (MULISSA) for the current year. Quiz format: The quiz was a question based competition involving fifty objective type questions. The questions centered on Library building, Resources, Services offered, Infrastructure available and Library Staff of the Mysore University Library. This written quiz had negative marking too. The winners were Mr. Mahadeva Prasad and Mr. Nagashayana of III and I Semester MLISc respectively. Some reflections: 1) Not surprisingly, the third semester students have generally performed better than the first semester students. This is because the third semester students have more acquaintance with the library than their first semester counterpart. 2) Only small percentage of students (10%) managed to score more than 50% marks. 3) A few students failed to get very obvious and common sense based answers right (such as the direction of the University building, loan period etc). Though the data is too small for generalization, the results make one to ponder about the question �Do we need to make LIS more library-centered and practice oriented?� A more detailed analysis is being carried out and will be presented in due course. -- N.S.Harinarayana Ph.D Department of Library and Information Science University of Mysore Manasagangotri, Mysore 570 006 Ph: 2419393
