by Satish Munnolli 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

** Please excuse duplicate postings ** The Special Interest Group on International Information Issues (SIG/III), the European (ASIST/EC) and the New England (NEASIST) chapters of ASIS&T (American Society for Information Science & Technology) are pleased to announce: The International Calendar of Information Science Conferences (ICISC) http://icisc.neasist.org/ This centralized, master calendar of relevant conferences being held around the world serves three primary purposes: - to help information science researchers and practitioners (and their colleagues in related disciplines) to discover which conferences are planned that might fulfill their need to communicate their knowledge and experience and learn from others; and, - to help conference organizers avoid time or topic conflicts, or coordinate with other groups, leading to more interaction and coherence among professional groups; and, - to contribute to facilitating interaction among like-minded professionals working on information problems around the globe. This calendar is meant as a cooperative venture. Any organization or conference organizer is cordially invited to submit relevant conferences, either confirmed or planned, to the ICISC Calendar. Detailed instructions for registering a conference directly, through a submission form, or by Email can be found on the Web site. The site is moderated and the sponsoring organizations reserve the right to discard entries that would not be deemed appropriate. The calendar is in English at the moment. We hope that more languages and/or mirror sites could be added in the future. Announcements can be passed in any language that can be presented in Latin characters, provided an English translation of at least the conference title, place and dates is also included. In addition to the dynamic and searchable calendar available for viewing in both block and list style, there is a "Quick Calendar" listing all the events on a static HTML web page useful for printing, or for those with slower internet connections. ICISC further offers the option to subscribe to an RSS feed to keep up to date on the latest additions. The web site further includes lists of electronic fora, organizations, networks and rotating conferences in Information science. Suggestions of relevant entries will be most welcome. We hope that you will find this calendar useful from an organizational and/or individual stand point. We encourage you to contribute to the calendar and offer your suggestions. Be sure to subscribe to the RSS/XML feed to stay up to date on new additions to the calendar.

GOOGLE GETS A MAP FOR THE MOON
by Mailing List Manager 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2005 11:03:10 +0530 From: Farooque Shaheen <Farooque.Shaheen(a)caritor.com> Google has come up with an interesting way to honour the first manned moon landing, which took place 36 years ago on July 20, 1969. The company has added some NASA imagery to its Maps interface,which enables the users to surf the exact spot where man first landed on Moon. Google Moon is basically an extension of Google Maps and Google Earth and uses NASA imagery to surf Moon?s surface. You can also check out the exact spots where Apollo astronauts landed. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin `Buzz?Aldrin became the first two humans to set foot on Moon. They stayed on the surface on 21.6 hours,while their fellow astronaut, Michael Collins, orbited above them. It can be accessed by clicking on the temporary moon logo on the Google homepage or by visiting http://moon.google.com. The map allows the user tozoom in and out, but you might be in for a surprise if you zoom in too close.
