Important Update Regarding LIS-Forum Service Interruption
by Francis Jayakanth 05 Apr '24

05 Apr '24

Dear LIS-Forum Community, I hope you're doing well. As many of you know, the LIS-Forum has been an invaluable platform for scholarly discussions and knowledge sharing for nearly 30 years. However, I regret to tell you that we recently experienced some challenges impacting the service. Over the last couple of years, we have encountered intermittent disruptions due to issues related to the delivery of bulk emails. Specifically, the sheer volume of messages—9,000 to 10,000 emails daily— has occasionally led to service downtime. I understand how frustrating this has been for our dedicated members, and I sincerely regret any inconvenience caused. Recently, the LIS-Forum experienced an extended downtime of approximately 45 days. The root cause was once again related to limitations imposed by Microsoft 365 on our bulk email distribution. As the sole administrator, I manage the LIS-Forum without any support. Balancing this responsibility with my full-time job has been challenging. To ensure uninterrupted service, I am actively exploring online hosting services. While this transition may involve recurring costs, it promises enhanced service reliability. I appreciate your patience and continued engagement with the LIS-Forum. I hope this communication reaches all the members so that they are aware of the reasons for the service being down. Thanks and best regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth JRD Tata Memorial Library IISc, Bengaluru -560012

Bookbuzz.org
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 24 Mar '24

24 Mar '24

A new search engine for books. Bookbuzz.org I searched for "Eternal Echoes" by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev. A listing of nine copies was given with prices ranging from USD 21.85 to USD 151.03. All are available from sellers abroad - inclusive of packing and shipping. I wonder who might go for the costliest version? I remember a time when if you spend Rs 100 on books you can set off Rs 130 from your profits as tax-free. There is no such incentive now? See some details below: //BookBuzz.org is a new search engine that aims to help people shop from independent booksellers. Search results should show the cheapest copies available online from booksellers, bookstores and marketplaces. It does not display listings from Amazon or any of its subsidiaries. The website suggests book titles as the user types, which helps if you are unsure of the title. If the user enters only an author, a list of titles by that writer appears. Users can also search by ISBN to find an exact edition. BookBuzz searches for availability on a variety of sites including Alibris, Biblio, BooksRun, eBay, and the ChrisLands network of used booksellers. These businesses provide access to millions of books. “Many avid readers want to shop in a way that empowers the independent bookselling community,” said BookBuzz.org founder Terry Nathan. "We’ve responded by building a simple website that finds the book you want at the best price in seconds. I founded BookBuzz.org to make the tool I wanted for book buying, modern and user-friendly.” Search results display new and used copies. Prices include shipping. Results reflect the user’s location in the United States, Canada, UK, Australia or New Zealand. Located in Victoria, B.C., BookBuzz earns a commission if someone clicks through to a partner site and buys a book.// Dr P Vyasamoorthy / 9490804278
