Greetings!
The European Library (TEL) is a very interesting project I found today
while surfing. It has a federated search engine to search 43 European
national library catalogues for a whopping 11 million records! The
search results are also very well presented and quite fast.

Some details from their website:
WHAT IS THE EUROPEAN LIBRARY?
The European Library webservice is a portal which offers access to the
combined resources (books, magazines, journals.... - both digital and
non-digital) of the 43 national libraries of Europe. It offers free
searching and delivers digital objects - some free, some priced.
The Vision of the European Library is:
Provision of equal access to promote world-wide understanding of the
richness and diversity of European learning and culture.
The Mission of the European Library is:
The European Library exists to open up the universe of knowledge,
information and cultures of all Europe's national libraries.
WHO IS THE EUROPEAN LIBRARY FOR?
The European Library service is aimed at informed citizens world-wide
(both professional and non-professional) who want a powerful and
simple way of finding library materials. Moreover, it is expected to
attract researchers as there is a vast virtual collection of material
from all disciplines. It offers anyone with an interest a simple route
to access European cultural resources.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THE EUROPEAN LIBRARY?
*It brings together disparate collections on your desktop and will
allow for cross-collection searching
*It presents integrated results and will deliver digital objects
*It enables types of collection-level searching which would otherwise
be impossible
*It is a major contribution to research both in making resources
widely available and by making possible new connections through
exploitation of a huge virtual library collection.
*The European Library encourages new research!

Dear Indian Colleagues,
Im looking for the precise bibliographic information of Ranganathan's definition of "Information Logistics - as a branch of information management - deals with information flows inside of an organisation. The goal is the optimization of availability and retention time of information. Information logistics concerns the provision of the right information at the right time in the right form and quality for the right user, at the right place."
According to my knowledge the definition is dated 1954, but I can not detect a publication from that year.
Can anybody help me in detecting the primary source of that definition?
Kind regards

Dear Professionals,
LIS profession is facing the challenge of repositioning and redefining
our skills and responsibilities.If one sees the latest program schedule of
InfoVision 2005 (www.infovision2005.org/prgmstrc.html) which is just 3
weeks away, it looks like a great treat for LIS professionals. This
great summit presents a galaxy of international and Indian speakers from
both academia and industry. Ronald Larsen from Pitsburg's School of
Information Science, Judith Turner, the editor of Journal of Electronic
Publishing, speakers from Google and Yahoo, Sify and Rediff, and the
publishing visionaries like Derk Haank from Springer who is credited with
ScienceDirect success in his his earlier position at Elsevier are few
to name. This is an opportunity to LIS professionals to interact with
many more from LIS Profession, IT Industry, Content Creaters and so on.
The Organisers have also announced a concessional registration fee of
Rs. 5000/- for delegates from academic institutions. I suggest and urge
my professional colleagues to take a look at the program and not to miss
the event.

bookcrossing
n. the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up
and read by others, who then do likewise.
Let's get right down to it. You know the feeling you get after reading
a book that speaks to you, that touches your life, a feeling that you
want to share it with someone else? BookCrossing.com gives you a
simple way to share books with the world, and follow their paths
forever!
http://www.mybookyourbook.co.uk
mybookyourbook can best be described as an on-line co-operative
library. Each member contributes a small number of book titles to the
central database at mybookyourbook with these books remaining on their
own shelf until requested by another member.
Imagine a catalogue consisting of several thousand books spread
throughout the country! The more members, the greater the choice of
books.

What is PaperBackSwap? We are a group of real people who have formed a
Club to swap paperback books with each other. No gimmicks. No spam.
No advertising. No kidding. We are not a large corporation trying to

Thanks to the GREAT work of Xiaorong Xiang (a Ph.D student here at
Notre Dame in Computer Science), we have all but finished the
development work on MyLibrary@Ockham. See:
http://mylibrary.ockham.org/
MyLibrary@Ockham uses MyLibrary to collect, organize, and cache more
than 430,000 records harvested from various scholarly OAI archives. The
system then uses reports written against the database to find things
like all the items classified as articles or all the items classified
as medicine. These reports are sent to an indexer (Plucene), and
finally an SRU interface was created allowing people to search the
index. The SRU interface sports a number of cool features including:
* lists of suggested alternative spellings with ASPELL
* lists of possible synonyms using WordNet
* lists of statistically created keyword
The point of all this work is three-fold:
1) to demonstrate how digital library collections
and services can be easily implemented using
standard protocols and open source software
2) to address the perennial problem of "finding
more like this one"
3) to demonstrate how the library profession can
collect, organize, archive, and disseminate
scholarly content if it is published using
open access publishing techniques
For more information about the system as well as to see how the content
is organized, see:

Fun!
