Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2004 14:15:16 +0530 From: Vyasamoorthy(a)icicikp.com Dear Friends: Supplementing what Dr Laxman Rao & Mr Premchand have brought to your notice, I wish to add another database of equal Value. The NAFEN database of Engineering Faculty in Indian Universities/Colleges was originally hosted on Vigyan Server. By permission from NAFEN & NISSAT we have re-hosted the same database in our VIC website. The URLs are: http://www.nafenindia.com http://vigyan.org.in/ http://www.vic-ikp.info/vic/index.asp To access the databases for searchig in our VIC site you need a UserId & Password. Those interested in exploring may ask me for a free guest password on a temporary basis. KINDLY SEND A MAIL DIRECTLY TO ME AND NOT AS A REPLY TO THIS FORUM POSTING!! The original NAFEN database has been totally re-structed, quering simplified and access made faster. However there is no provision for online updating or addition of data as in other two databases our friends which have brought to our attention.

RE: [LIS-Forum] Refresher Course in LIS

Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2004 12:08:45 +0530 From: manish mankad <Manish.Mankad(a)unilever.com> Thanks Mr. Vijaykumar for UGC refresher course details. I have a suggestion: can we prepare a list of Lib professionals who could possibly form the resourse persons group for such refresher courses? It will be dynamic whereby each individual's competencies could be widened, narrowed or altered over a period of time. There will be additional details like current position, experience, publications, area of specialisation, lectures/presentation in past etc. This will help the refresher course organisers to pick and choose so that the participants are benefitted by the best of lot rather than getting the same, repeat persons because of lack of suitable alternatives. -Manish Mankad Information Services Ext: 208/460 Tel: 022 28276208 Hindustan Lever research Centre B.D.

Ours is a IT company, which is newly organised with 400 books and few business and IT magazines. Also dear professionals can you help me out how to equip the library with modern amenities for storage and retrieval in a special library. Dear Professionals - Can we come out with a new profile - which is a challenging for library professionals - without much technical qualification/knowledge but with couple of years of experience, which is different from the services, like CAS, Reference service, SDI etc. Any suggestions, please share with the undersigned. Regards, Susmitha Ramesh Librarian.

Announcing _B-Feeds(sm): Web Feeds for Books and Monographs_
by Mailing List Manager 12 Jul '04

12 Jul '04

Date: Thu, 08 Jul 2004 10:00:39 -0500 From: Gerry Mckiernan <gerrymck(a)iastate.edu> I am pleased to announce the creation and availability of a registry devoted to Web Feeds for Books and Monographs. The site, called _B-Feeds(sm)_ is available at: [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/B-Feeds1.htm ] _B-Feeds(sm): Web Feeds for Books and Monographs_ is a categorized registry of site that offer RSS/XML, Atom, or other Web feeds, to compilations, directories, lists, or reviews for academic or scholarly books or monographic works. I have seeded _B-Feeds(sm)_ with several major General sources and a few specialized ones. _B-Feeds(sm)_ is a companion to _eFeeds(sm)_ [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/eFeeds.htm ], my registry devoted to electronic journals that offer Web feeds. Each of these are adjuncts to my original Web feeds registry _RSS(sm): Rick Site Services_ , devoted to library services that are delivered or provided through Web feeds. _RSS(sm)_ is available at [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/RSS.htm ]. Those who wish to learn more about Web feeds and their current and potential uses may wish to consult a General Bibliography that I prepared for my RSS(sm) site. The bibliography is available via the RSS(sm) site or directly at [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/GenBib.htm ] and currently includes full-text links for all entries. For _B-Feeds_, I am greatly interested in identifying additional sources that offer/provide Web feeds to "compilations, directories, lists, or reviews for academic or scholarly books or monographic works" in Any and All subject areas. I am *particularly* interested in feeds from publishers/booksellers/vendors, etc. for specialized fields (e.g., Architecture, Engineering, Zoology). [As time permits, I plan to systematically review various publisher directories for publishers that offer Web feeds, but would like to first populate _B-Feeds(sm)_ with sources that are known and used by my Web colleagues. Thanks!] To Spread The Word: Please FORWARD this posting to Any and All book/publisher related e-lists to which you subscribe. Thanks A Million! Regards, /Gerry Gerry McKiernan B-Librarian Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 gerrymck(a)iastate.edu
