BookMooch
by noufal＠tatamotors.com 07 Nov '13

Request to be circulated among our colleagues. Dear All: You may also interested to explore this innovative service, BookMooch is a community for exchanging used books. BookMooch lets you give away books you no longer need in exchange for books you really want. * Give & receive: Every time you give someone a book, you earn a point and can get any book you want from anyone else at BookMooch. Once you've read a book, you can keep it forever or put it back into BookMooch for someone else, as you wish. * No cost: there is no cost to join or use this web site: your only cost is mailing your books to others. * Points for entering books: you receive a tenth-of-a-point for every book you type into our system, and one point each time you give a book away. In order to keep receiving books, you need to give away at least one book for every two you receive. * Help charities: you can also give your points to charities we work with, such as children's hospitals (so a sick kid can get a free book delivered to their bed), Library fund, African literacy, or to us to thank us for running this web site <grin>. * World wide: You can request books from other countries, in other languages. You receive 3 points when you send a book out of your country, to help compensate you for the greater mailing cost, and it costs the moocher 3 points to get the book. John Buckman, who runs BookMooch, has lived in California, England, France and Germany, and was frustrated by the vast number of books that were printed in just one country and not available in the other countries (for example, many books are published in Britain and never made available in America). * Wishlist: you can keep a "book wish list" that will automatically arrive to you when you have the points and/or the book becomes available in our catalog. * Feedback score: each time you receive a book, you can leave feedback with the sender, just like how eBay does it. If you keep your feedback score up, people are most likely to help you out when you ask for a book. * How we pay our bills: We tap into Amazon's book database, and if you follow an Amazon link from our web site, we receive a commission from Amazon if you buy that book instead of getting it free from BookMooch. * Why "Mooch"?: dictionary.co.uk defines "mooch" as: "to obtain something without paying for it, or to borrow something without intending to return it" as in "You're old enough to get a job and stop mooching off your family." And so, the word fits this project: BookMooch is a way to get books without paying, and without any intention of returning the book. This is the American definition of "mooch" and one of two British definitions. The other British definition is "to walk or act slowly and without much purpose" as in "Stop mooching about in your room and do something useful!" which isn't an entirely appropriate definition for this web site, but it is funny so we'll just live with it. * Why create this?: if you're passionate about books, you know how emotionally difficult it is to throw a book away, even if you will never read it again. You want to find a good home for your books, have them find someone who appreciates them. Also, you may be interested in trying a lot of books out, and keep the ones that are great. It's a great crime to have a book disappear, out of print, for none to read. BookMooch keeps books in circulation, and finds new readers for them. If you're not interested in getting free books, you can donate to charities, the points you gain by giving your books away. * Who are we?

Lecture at Central Library, JNU on August 27, 2013 at 3.00 pm
by Dr. Ramesh C Gaur 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Central Library Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) cordially invites you to the 12th Library Lecture Series and Outreach Programme Topic: Building a Print Fanzine Collection in a Digital Era Speaker : Ms. Isabel Ayres Maringelli Walter Wey Library Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo http://biblioteca.pinacoteca.org.br:9090/site/ imaringelli(a)pinacoteca.org.br Date: Tuesday, 27th August 2013 at 3:00 pm Venue: Committee Room, Central Library, JNU, New Delhi About the Topic: Building a Print Fanzine Collection in a Digital Era. Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo is the oldest art museum in São Paulo, SP, Brazil. The Walter Wey Library was created in 1959 to support the Museum staff: curators, researchers and conservators but today the majority of patrons is graduate students. The Library's collection is rich in representing Brazilian artists and contains materials pertinent to the Museum's art collections but it includes materials from all over the world. The Library has just started a new section that is formed by fanzines. Although there are many other libraries that hold these collections they are not very familiar either to users or to librarians. The library became interested in starting this collection because we have received many fanzines made by visual artists, illustrators, poets and comic writers. Fanzines are self-published booklets, created by hand or using low-cost printing technologies that allow to creator to take part in the whole production process. Although there are some E-zines being produced, some authors claims that fanzines could be considered as means of cultural resistance, in terms that they are printed and usually handmade, in opposition to all social media and digital sources for publishing. By bringing these materials into an art public Library Pinacoteca seeks to invite more people to read them. The circulation of fanzines could be restricted to other places than public museum and they are so original and creative that we decided to keep them and make them available to users. We expect to do a research to find relationships with contemporary art and also with other disciplines as Communication Theory and Information Science. About the Speaker: Isabel Ayres Maringelli was born in São Paulo, SP, Brazil, 1969. She has a Master of Business Administration - MBA in Cultural Economics (2009) – FGV – Getulio Vargas Foundation and a Graduate Degree and Bachelor's in Information and Documentation Science – Sociology and Political School São Paulo Foundation (1993). She is the Coordinator of Library Walter Wey, Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, the oldest art museum in the city, since 2009. Prior to this she has worked for more than 20 year in the Business Administration in the Getulio Vargas Foundation. She has published some articles in the field of use of open source software for library automation and libraries portals and has also been working with exhibitions productions. Please make it convenient to attend.

DRTC Students Seminar

Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre Seminar (3) 2012-14 Information Retrieval from Document Image Databases Abstract: ========= Information is an essential component for the progress, welfare and development of any community. In this era of information explosion, newer forms of information sources are slowly replacing the traditional ones. Today, 'Document Image Databases' have gained paramount popularity as an information source. This is being considered as an important topic of research in knowledge and data engineering. In an attempt to move towards the paperless society, large quantities of printed documents are digitized and stored as images in databases. In this context one major challenge that information scientists face is the retrieval of relevant information from image data than from text data. The present discussion revolves around the study of information retrieval from document image databases.
