Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 COLLOQUIUM-6 (2017-2019) Title: Evolution and Trends in Knowledge Organisation System Abstract Knowledge organization system (KOS) is a generic term which is used for referring to a wide range of items (e.g. subject headings, thesauri, classification schemes and ontologies), which have been conceived to represent and organize the multidimensional, multilingual, and cross-cultural knowledge domains with respect to different purposes. They are characterized by different specific structures and functions, by varied ways of relating to technology, and used in a plurality of contexts by diverse communities. The underlying common factor among the different KOSs is that they have been designed to support the organization of knowledge and information in order to make their management and retrieval easier. With the advent of World Wide Web and the Digital Library, in the 21st century, the emerging knowledge in KOS has contributed significantly towards improving the ability to collect and organizing information by the integration of formal and technological aspects, such as the concepts of interoperability, user interface, visualization etc. In this presentation, the relationship of Knowledge Organisation with KOS will be explored through the analysis of various stages in the evolution of KOS, major types of KOS, applications of KOS, and the various issues and challenges involved in developing and implementing KOS. The emerging trends in KOS based on the latest research in the overall development of KO in the digital and networked environment will also be briefly reviewed. This presentation, in general, will attempt to provide an understanding of the core nature of KOS in the development of a general semantic framework which intends to encompass all knowledge. Speakers and Topics 1. Introduction to KOS - Goutham N 2. Evolution of KOS - Suresh Yadav 3. Characteristics and structure of KOS - Sreekumar S 4. Term lists - Jaishree Khandelwal 5. Classification and categories - Mayukh Bagchi 6. Relationship lists - Bhupender Yadav 7. Applications of KOS - Abhishek K 8. Challenges of KOS - Harshita U Urs 9. Conclusion - Satish Kumar Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: 21-03-2018 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore. All are cordially invited.

Best Quotes About Libraries Librarians Cataloging, Classification, Catalogers

Best Quotes About Libraries Librarians and Library and Information Science <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2018/01/quotes-libraries-libraria…> Top 28 Most Beautiful Quotations About Libraries, Librarians, Cataloging, Classification, Catalogers, and Library and Information Science Important Topics. A library is a collection of sources of information and similar resources, made accessible to a defined community for reference or borrowing. It provides physical or digital access to material and may be a physical building or room, or a virtual space, or both. A library's collection can include books, periodicals, newspapers, manuscripts, films, maps, prints, documents, microform, CDs, cassettes, videotapes, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, e-books, audiobooks, databases, and other formats. Libraries range in size from a few shelves of books to several million items. Sidney Sheldon perfectly describes: “Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life.” Laura Bush in her famous quote said: “I have found the most valuable thing in my wallet is my library card.” Visit your library, get your library card, and you’ll be able to borrow a print or electronic book, use free internet, or attend a course that will improve your digital skills. The libraries of the world are under threat. Jon Bing makes a point “To ask why we need libraries at all, when there is so much information available elsewhere, is about as sensible as asking if roadmaps are necessary now that there are so very many roads.” Eleanor Crumblehulme says “Cutting libraries during a recession is like cutting hospitals during a plague.” Libraries are essential in a process of giving citizens access to knowledge. In digital times they are needed more than ever before. In times of the internet, everyone can visit a library without leaving home. It’s just a matter of opening a library website, and you can not only borrow an ebook but also ask the librarian an online question. Most importantly, however, libraries are the places where you can expect smart and clear answers to even most difficult questions. Now that we have discussed the importance of libraries, it’s time to through some light on the importance of the role of librarians. Jarrett J. Krosoczka says “It is an awfully sad misconception that librarians simply check books in and out ...” A librarian is a person who is in charge of or works professionally in a library and is responsible for its management and services. The librarian takes care of the library and its resources. Typical job of a librarian includes managing collection development and acquisitions, cataloging, collections management, circulation, and providing a range of services, such as reference, information, instruction, and training services, etc. The increasing role of technology in libraries has a significant impact on the changing roles of librarians. A 21st-century librarian is required to be very much updated with technological changes. New age librarians are making greater use of emerging technologies in the library management and services to make it more popular and useful among the patrons. According to Neil Gaiman “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one.” New age librarians are not mere bookworms, they are high-tech information professionals, and clever communicators, helping patrons dive in the oceans of information available in books and digital records. Librarians are teachers, problem solvers, innovators, collaborators, leaders, and learners.

Stephen W. Hawking, a great scientist of our time who ranks with Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, has left us. He has become an emblem of human determination and curiosity. His works spread through different areas like children's literature to nature of gravity and the origin of the universe. He was not only a path breaker in the world of science. Breaking down the walls of the so-called ivory tower of academia he took science to the people and inspired millions of our generation. His views and predictions on the way we treat our mother earth and research and development in Artificial Intelligence the most important warning to the world of science. We propose to publish the next issue of the journal ‘Informatics Studies’ as Stephen Hawking Remembrance Volume. All are invited to contribute paper/article/remembrance/ review of work of Stephen Hawking to the remembrance volume. You can upload or send articles/papers up to 30.03.2018.
