Dear Dr Shalini I am very happy to read your succinct statements on the importance of Language and Communication skills. Laudable are your efforts in DLIS to tackle the problem of Language deficiencies among LIS students. I suggest that all other Universities too may try to include a paper on Communication & personality development and teach this topic with equal seriousness. Many senior working librarians and LIS teachers act as resource persons during interviews to select librarians. They have lot of ideas about the situation obtaining now and they may have solutions too. LIS schools may benefit by obtaining this 'knowledge' from Interviewers through some survey/study. Such studies would indicate not only gaps in Language skills but in other areas as well. If the results of the study are used, there is a possibility of market demands being met fully by the products turned by LIS schools.

Let us not forget the McLuhian 'Medium is the message' axiom * Ranganathan's 'three planes of work' concept in the realm of Classification applies to all aspects of work in general. It is important that we understand the influence and impact of the verbal plane on the idea plane and vice versa * The field of Psycholinguistics has wrestled with the issues of language , concept formation and thought processes without reaching a consensus * Our ancient Indic Scholars had very skillfully and adroitly explicated the importance of interplay of 'language or words' and 'thoughts and meanings' in this way- they recognised three genres of 'UKTI' (speeches or statements'): MANTRA (Vedic Verses); SHASTRA (or precepts-learned works); and KAVYA ( Poetry or literature in general). According to our sages, words and their meanings have different levels of 'import' in these three categories. In SHASTRA ( i.e. scientific knowledge' ) the language is a tool to learn, to understand the world and we reach out to the world outside through the language. Knowledge or truths (as knowledge was known as) is assimilated through the meanings of words. If the link between 'concepts' 'words' and meanings are broken, then the world of knowledge gets segregated resulting in a kind of turmoil. Since it is not possible to express knowledge without language, it is necessary THOUGH NOT PRIMARY We at DLIS, Mysore believing in the significance of Language and communication skills have always striven to help our students augment their language skills through a variety of activities. For example some years back, we used to conduct 'what is the good word' contest. Some of our recent efforts in this direction are- 1. In the new revised syllabus for M.L.I. Sc (coming to effect from the academic year 2005-2006), we have introduced one full paper on ' Personality development and communication skills' (carrying 100 marks) in the first semester (thanks to our Board of Studies, which deemed it fit to introduce this change). Visit our website- www.lisc.uni-mysore.ac.in <http://www.lisc.uni-mysore.ac.in/> 2. We have also introduced a novel competition for the students. Recognizing the importance of reading habits in strengthening communication skills, a monthly newspaper reading and clipping contest with two prizes- of INR 100 and 75 -where in students identify, collect newspaper write ups relating to 'Information world' and submit a well presented and bound volume 3. Weekly 'English coaching classes' for students * the above two have been voluntary efforts and initiatives by the faculty Shalini -------- Dr.Shalini R.

Path To an Alternative Career
by Jayadev P Hiremath 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

My Path To an Alternative Career by Paul Duckworth How does a librarian move from a traditional job to something outside the box of library walls? If this sounds like a Zen koan to you, perhaps you're thinking about it too hard - just let the energy flow into your solar plexus. When you're centered, you can follow the path of the stepping stones that are submerged below the surface of the water. How? Step-by-step, feeling your way, remembering to breathe and center yourself - and not being afraid to get your feet wet. First Steps First My path began with the recognition that it was time to move on from my public library job in Missouri. I'd been there for over twenty-five years, moving upwards in responsibility. The job was great, my salary was excellent, and I had every reason to stay, except three: I was restless, felt stagnated, and found myself experiencing boredom. "What to do?" I thought. "How do I uproot myself? Where do I begin?" For me, a recent marriage had brought a fresh perspective and someone else's needs to consider. For many reasons, we decided to relocate to within a few hours of Toronto. So, the first decision had been made: the geographic focus was defined. Time to get out the career and resume guides. I raided my library's shelves, looked at more than a few, studied every style and strategy, then set the books down and never picked them up again. What I did reach for, though, was the ear of anyone who would listen to me as I told my story. Never underestimate the power of these words: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you." I found talking with many people, especially those not in the library field, of immense assistance in clarifying muddy waters. I began bookmarking library job sites and searching them again and again - sometimes to the point where I felt desperate. There were jobs, but few interesting ones in the geographical area where I needed to land. I also reached out to colleagues through the networking approach, including joining an e-mail list from a state adjoining Ontario. It was fascinating to learn about the issues going on there, which affected services, employment, selection, and the financial health of libraries. Alternatives Can Find You Time was getting short. We needed to move before autumn, but nothing seemed to pan out. What to do...? Be persistent, I reminded myself. Success is 10% inspiration, 90% perspiration. So, I did everything I could not to let discouragement slow me down: meditation, yoga, talking to friends, and strategizing through good note taking. And then, there it was - a job posting on an e-mail list for a library vendor in New York State. Good fortune - the vendor was a major supplier for my library. My application led to a response with a questionnaire to fill out; this led to more e-mail, and then... a call out of the blue from the company's sales manager, followed by a second one. Could I come to the ALA conference in Orlando, expenses paid, to meet with the company president and him? Yes, I could, and I did! I flew to Orlando and visited with them. And, while I was there with some free time to visit the exhibits hall, I stopped by the booth of another vendor I worked with on materials acquisition, to meet some of the friendly staff I had visited with on the phone over the years. So, I had a good chat with several staff, and casually mentioned that I was interviewing for a job that would take me to New York State. "We just happen to have an opening for an account rep for that area," one of their vice presidents mentioned. Would I be interested in talking about this position? Yes, I was, and I did. We talked, and the job sounded as intriguing and challenging as the first one. Always keep as many options open as possible, I reminded myself. Don't start closing doors until you know for sure which door you're going to walk through. When One Door Opens... At the end of the weekend I expected a job offer from the first vendor, who had flown me to the conference. It didn't come. So I waited, weighed my options, and decided that the better choice for me was the new possibility. Then, amazingly, a friend told me about yet a third prospect with the university library in the town to which we were considering moving. While in Toronto on vacation, I faxed my application, and within a few days had a telephone interview with the search committee. Within days, an offer was made by the second vendor and I accepted. A few days later, the initial vendor indicated they wanted to hire me. And, as I withdrew my application for the academic position, they indicated that I had been their top candidate. How is it, you ask, being outside those traditional walls? Well, I travel inside those walls throughout my sales territory, meet great people (we librarians ARE interesting), and sometimes have the exciting opportunity to show up for work in my home office in my pajamas. I still speak "library," am appreciated by my employer, and network every day with colleagues and customers across the country. My employer is tops, the job brings me the challenge I was looking for, and I'm traveling to lots of places I had never seen before. The path ahead isn't clear, but, truly, it never is. For right now, I'm enjoying getting my feet wet, taking one step at a time, and remembering to breathe.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Why do we need high proficiency in English language ?
by SCKumaresan 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Hello Mr. Jayadev P Hiremath, Greetings. I appreciate your love and concern for Hindi language. But please ask your self how many languages these european countries and for that matter any other country have compared to India. And by the way why do you think any two librarians in india should converse in hindi when they meet? Have you thought of a librarian from south or from far eastern state meeting with the librarian from hindi belt. What language do you think they should converse in, if hindi then why? I guess every one would have the same love for his language. If you say Hindi is the National language,excuse me.. then you have to read the constitution of India which does not specify so, provided 18 indian languages (pls corret if i'm wrong in the no) are given equal status. I guess one should think beyond the borders of such restrictions based on language and have a broader mind and thought, The point Dr. Vyasmoorthy has raised has some substance in it and we should give a thought to it, Ofcourse you have the right to express your opinion, but i think you should not get personnel.

U.S. BioDefense Launches First Patent Search Engine to Model Google Strategy
by Sreeharsha_Gopalakrishna＠i2.com 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Dear Professionals, U.S. BioDefense, on Feb 28th announced that the launch of T2X.us ( http://www.t2x.us) "The #1 High Tech Transfer Search Engine", which is developing a search engine identifying intellectual property modeling the successful business model functionality of search engines like Google, Yahoo, and LookSmart. U.S. BioDefense staff currently uses the search engine to accelerate the identification of stem cell and biodefense intellectual property acquisition programs. Programmers are now updating its T2X search engine for more robustness in preparation for a commercial version launch. T2X is a search engine facilitating innovation exchange connecting VC's, small business, and public companies seeking technologies with universities, government agencies, and scientists. Over $30 billion is invested in innovation each year and much of the new technology developed is never put to commercial use. T2X is an online Technology Transfer Exchange where commercial members can identify technology that is available for licensing or partnering from universities, research labs, and scientists. Numerous tools are available on T2X.us including an abstract research for technology at the National Institutes of Health and the functionality to search for technology available for licensing. Searchable technologies consist of vaccines, drug discovery, nano technology and general biology from sources such as the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Harvard's Office for Technology Transfer, University of California at Irvine Office of Technology Alliances, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Small Business Administration, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The T2X search engine will also be integrated into U.S. BioDefense's Open Source Stem Cell Research and Development Platform, which promotes collaboration amongst researchers, scientists and industry experts in the field of stem cell technology. T2X's ability to help identify intellectual property will boost the functional value of the open source platform helping participants explore the full realm of possibilities for research and development. **************************************** Sreeharsha BG KM Group i2 Technologies ‘One i2 Place’ #132 / 133, DivyaSree Technopolis Yamalur Post, Off Airport Road, Bangalore 560 037.

Communication Skills- LIS-DLIS, Mysore initiatives
by Shalini R Urs 28 Feb '05

Dear Friends, Having followed with interest the discussion in this regard, I thought of sharing the following with you all. * Criticality of 'Language' as a conduit for 'carrying knowledge' and as an inevitable means of expressing and articulating ones ideas cannot be over emphasised. * Ideas/Knowledge is as good as it is packaged and presented in a medium. Let us not forget the McLuhian 'Medium is the message' axiom * Ranganathan's 'three planes of work' concept in the realm of Classification applies to all aspects of work in general. It is important that we understand the influence and impact of the verbal plane on the idea plane and vice versa * The field of Psycholinguistics has wrestled with the issues of language , concept formation and thought processes without reaching a consensus * Our ancient Indic Scholars had very skillfully and adroitly explicated the importance of interplay of 'language or words' and 'thoughts and meanings' in this way- they recognised three genres of 'UKTI' (speeches or statements'): MANTRA (Vedic Verses); SHASTRA (or precepts-learned works); and KAVYA ( Poetry or literature in general). According to our sages, words and their meanings have different levels of 'import' in these three categories. In SHASTRA ( i.e. scientific knowledge' ) the language is a tool to learn, to understand the world and we reach out to the world outside through the language. Knowledge or truths (as knowledge was known as) is assimilated through the meanings of words. If the link between 'concepts' 'words' and meanings are broken, then the world of knowledge gets segregated resulting in a kind of turmoil. Since it is not possible to express knowledge without language, it is necessary THOUGH NOT PRIMARY We at DLIS, Mysore believing in the significance of Language and communication skills have always striven to help our students augment their language skills through a variety of activities. For example some years back, we used to conduct 'what is the good word' contest. Some of our recent efforts in this direction are- 1. In the new revised syllabus for M.L.I. Sc (coming to effect from the academic year 2005-2006), we have introduced one full paper on ' Personality development and communication skills' (carrying 100 marks) in the first semester (thanks to our Board of Studies, which deemed it fit to introduce this change). Visit our website- www.lisc.uni-mysore.ac.in <http://www.lisc.uni-mysore.ac.in/> 2. We have also introduced a novel competition for the students.

Ideas/Knowledge is as good as it is packaged and presented in a medium. Let us not forget the McLuhian ‘Medium � is the message’ axiom Ranganathan’s �� ‘three planes of work’ concept in the realm of Classification applies to all aspects of work in general. It is important that we understand the influence and impact of the verbal plane on the idea plane and vice versa The field of Psycholinguistics has wrestled with the issues of language , concept formation and thought processes without reaching a consensus Our ancient Indic Scholars had very skillfully and adroitly explicated the importance of interplay of ‘language or words’ and ‘thoughts and meanings’ in this way- they recognised three genres of �� ‘UKTI’ (speeches or statements’): MANTRA (Vedic Verses); SHASTRA (or precepts-learned works); and KAVYA ( Poetry or literature in general). According to our sages, words and their meanings have different levels of ‘import’ in these three categories. In SHASTRA ( i.e . scientific knowledge’ ) the language is a tool to learn, to understand the world and we reach out to the world outside through the language. Knowledge or truths (as knowledge was known as) is assimilated through the meanings of words. If the link between ‘concepts’ � ‘words’ and meanings are broken, then the world of knowledge gets segregated resulting in a kind of turmoil. Since it is not possible to express knowledge without language, it is necessary THOUGH � NOT PRIMARY � We at DLIS, Mysore believing in the significance of Language and communication skills have always striven to help our students augment their language skills through a variety of activities. For example some years back, we used to conduct ‘what is the good word’ contest. Some of our recent efforts in this direction are- � In the new revised syllabus for M.L.I. Sc (coming to effect from the academic year 2005-2006), we have introduced one full paper on ‘ Personality development and communication skills’ � (carrying 100 marks) in the first semester (thanks to our Board of Studies, which deemed it fit to introduce this change).

Librarians Proficiency in English: more questions
by Vyasamoorthy＠icicikp.com 25 Feb '05

25 Feb '05

Dear Friends Within two days of sending my message on the above topic there have been 25+ responses -- some directly and privately sent to me. That shows the great concern all of us have for this topic. I shall try to summarize the opinions after giving some more time. Meanwhile, I feel that the discussions would become meaningful if persons from all affected sections take part. LIS teachers have been silent. Can they react? Is it their responsibility to improve the language skills of their products? Are they equipped? Should they take this responsibility? Are they satisfied/happy with the obtaining situation? Are there alternate ways of achieving same results? Who will bell the cat? Who will foot the bill - extra cost of teaching English? Some forty years ago when I did my graduation, many students faced the familiar problem: migrating from vernacular medium to English Medium. Suddenly there is a vacuum, bewilderment and difficulty in adjusting. But the College authorities very thoughtfully provided 'bridge' courses of 2-3 months duration, after college hours, at no extra cost to those who wanted to learn English. Very many students benefited. Again, there is no representation from our customers, readers, users, patrons, clients whatever you call them. Can some of you informally raise this issue with your customers and obtain their viewpoints and disseminate it here? Dispassionate discussions would lead to fruitful pointers for further action.

Fw: [BOAI] Re: Open-Access Eprint Archive Registry
by Subbiah Arunachalam 25 Feb '05

25 Feb '05

Friends: Here is a brief report from Prof. Stevan Harnad on the status of OA archives around the world. In India we have been talking about OA archiving and digital libraries and their advantages for a few years now, but Prof. Harnad could find only six archives from India! Brazil has 14 and China 6. We have conducted several workshops (at MSSRF, IISc and other institutions) and at least 150 people have been trained to set up such archives. INSA devoted a whole day at their Annual Meeting at Pune (December 2003) to a brainstorming session on open access. Both Prof. Valiathan and Dr mashelkar (the immediate past and the present Presidents of INSA) are great supporters of open access. We have world class experts (to name only a few, Rajashekar at NCSI and Prasad at DRTC) who are willing to help anyone who wants to set up an archive. Chennai-based The Hindu and Frontline have carried well-researched articles and an editorial on open access. And yet we have not established more than half a dozen archives. Both researchers and librarians in India need to introspect. Before the end of the year we should have at least a hundred archives in India. Even in physics and astronomy, where there is a central international archive (arXiv) with a mirror site at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences in Chennai, only a small fraction of Indian physicists deposit their papers. It is difficult to understand why. A few days ago Churchill Brothers' prolific striker Ghanaian Yakubu Yusufi was interviewed in The Times of India about the sad state of football in India. When asked about facilities, he asked "What facilities? There are none." The grounds are aweful and maintenance very poor. He went on to say that at least half a dozen players could play in the Second Division Leagues in Europe or UK and gain valuable experience, but either they were happy with the money they got here or THEY LACKED GUTS. Are we in science and information profession in India content with status quo or do we lack guts to do something new? We can certainly not complain about lack of facilities. The top few hundred higher education and research institutions have the necessary equipment, connectivity and human resources. On the OA journals front the situation is somewhat better. All journals of both the Indian Academy of Sciences and the Indian National Science Academy are open access. MedKnow Publications in Bombay brings out more than twenty open access journals in the area of medicine, and their production quality and web presence are comparable to the best in the world. NIC provides open access to about 30 journals. And the ICMR jounal is open access. I am told that NMJI will soon go open access. There may be others. But we need to strengthen OAA in India and other developing countries. I have tried hard to bring together leading researchers, policy makers and Academies of India, China and Brazil to talk about OAA. The meeting is yet to take place. We could invite representatives of the Inter-Academy Council, the Inter-Academy Panel and the Wellcome Trust as well as experts such as Stevan Harnad, Peter Suber, Leslie Chan and Melissa Hagemann to such a meeting. If these three leading countries take to OAA in a big way, then the rest of the developing world will adopt OAA readily. Best wishes.

Re: Librarian's proficiency in English - Dr Vyasamoorthy's lament
by Jai Haravu 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Friends I would like to expand on Dr Vyasamoorthy's lament somewhat with due apologies to the poet T S Elliot. I think the lack of proficiency in English is only the tip of the iceberg and hence my lament below. Where are the books we have lost in our 'digital libraries'? Where are the users we have lost in our 'library science'? Where is the service we have lost in our 'automation'? Where are the library networks we have lost in 'cyberspace'? Where are the leaders we have lost in our 'library schools'? Where are the scholars we have lost in our 'Ph Ds'? Where is the professionalism we have lost in our 'profession'?

This is basically for those who belong to BIMARU states. I myself belong to one of such states where English language is taught from 6th standards onwards and in 10th standard, it is not mandatory to pass in English. This is the case of many state boards. I somehow managed to fill this gap after 10th, may be due to my primary education took place in Delhi. Even in Delhi during 1980s, English was taught not before 6th standard in Govt schools. PROBLEMS: Education systems: State Boards: There is a general practice in many states where passing in English is not mandatory in the State Board examinations. Universities: Many universities allow Hindi speaking students, whose medium of instruction till Bachelor have been in Hindi, to get admission in BLIS course where BLIS is taught in Hindi. There are many other LIS departments where medium of instruction is mentioned English in Prospectus but Hinglish is practised. Attitude: In my case, since I was very weak in English till 10th, I took it very seriously for higher education and started studying basic English books even primary levels, grammar and translation with lot of self-practice at home which boosted my confidence of English language. WHAT TO BE DONE? I think British Council has taken a good lead in developing English language skills in the country. Professionals who feel are weak in English may join a short term course. As an interface between books and users, librarian must have good communication skills in English and should be primary requisite for the recruitment of the post. Employers should also enhance their employees' communication skills by organising an internal training/workshop program. Library associations should come forward, if not, library network centres in India can join hands with the primary employers to organise such programs. There are many other avenues where professionals may try for upgrading their English language skills. I had compiled a comprehensive list of English Language Training Schools/Centres in India last year. I will be happy to share that list.

Certainly the real culprits are the education system & selfish politicians. You will agree this is an exciting topic. We speak of national integration. We accept or do not accept that English language brings all castes & communities together. Ridiculous indeed! How many universities are conducting interviews for B.L.I.Sc in regional language to see that the mediocrity thrives everywhere. Are the teachers of LIS not responsible for this appalling state? Do the teachers of LIS identify & motivate the would-be prolific writers? Do the teachers speak correct English in the class? Are the teachers simply cynical of students who are better than the teachers? Are the teachers aware of difference between healthy criticism & cynicism? I believe the teachers are right in the centre of the field to mould the academic society. It is just like blaming the government for all ills not knowing that the govt. is of the people, by the people and for the people. As Dr.Radhakrishnan said " a teacher commands respect and not demands respect. Learning is directed both ways teacher-students and students-teachers. Now who is responsible for the poor communication skill : the system of education, the floating politicians or the sacred teachers? This is a food for thought. A proper analysis would bring in the answer. -- Shantha Venkatesan.

Library Science teacher's are there to teach Library Science and not English Language skills. When you were recruiting an Information Officer, what was the basic requirement ? Was it his skills in Information Management or English language ? You have a done a great disservice by writing highly unwarranted mail. This will dissuade many Librarians from writing to this forum. They all will develop inferiotity complex. Itis a national shame that when two Indians...Librarians.... from different parts of the country meet they have to communicate in English language. Have you ever thought about conversing in Hindi ? I jolly well know the importance of English language in the world. But that doesn't mean that we have to look down upon our fellow professionals who are not proficient in English. We have all become slaves to English language and take great pride in being so. I as a customer, have received many e-mails from your Organization and I don't think ICICI as such attaches much importance to English language skills and rightly so. Why is it that only you are so keen about it when it is not an Institutional policy. Working knowledge of the languages is more that sufficient for providing the services.

Proficiency in English
by Prabhash Narayana Rath 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Dear friends What sort of proficiency are we talking about? Is it English as a means of communication or as a literary language? My personal feeling is that (please excuse me if I am incorrect) while selecting librarians, the selectors put more emphasis on communication skills in English (I mean spoken English). We belong to a profession which needs proficiency at least to a certain level, in both spoken as well as written English. Also, we need a fair knowledge of the local vernacular language. I disagree with Mr Jha that LIS schools should teach the course as a professional course and not as an academic discipline. I think this attitude has contributed a lot towards the downfall of the subject as an academic discipline in the country. There has been no basic research in LIS after Dr Ranganathan. Anyway, that is totally a different matter. So knowledge of English is, though an important one, but should not be the sole criterion for judging a better Library professional. Regards.. Prabhash N. Rath, Ph.D. Documentation Officer Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics Pune - 411004 Tel: 91+20-25650287 (O.) 91+20-25678311 (R.) E-mail: prabhashrath(a)yahoo.com

Today we are living in a world which has Global Village concept hence a professional need not limit himself to any language or geographical area. Always the user requirement varies and it has no limit of language are geographical area English being a widely used language and much of the literature are available in it. It is better one should learn English and be proficient user and interact in it whenever it is required. From the day one British came to India we have learning resources of English language, let us make better use of it and let us take it as a positive step. I would even go one step further by saying that we should not only limit ourselves to English if it is possible we should try to learn as many languages as possible which are widely used through out the world. It not only improves the efficiency of an individual but also access to information, which is very important for the information professional. This being a positive point in the career development of an Individual let us take this as a postive initiation and let us try to be open and retain our values rather limiting ourselves to any language or confining to a limited area While learning any language we should keep in mind the quote given by our Nations Father Shri. M K Gandhi that �I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and windows to be stuffed. I want the culture of all lands to be blow about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blow off my feet by any of them� Thanking you all, GANESHA T.K. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Easier than ever with enhanced search.

Librarians' proficiency in English
by Vyasamoorthy＠icicikp.com 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Dear Friends, I am sure that some of you were expecting this. I am really appalled at the lack of any semblance of proficiency in the use of English language among many librarians. I wonder how one could pass through some 17 years of schooling and even after that manage not to learn basics of English Language. It is regrettable that our present system of Education does not emphasize the importance of Language abilities. Because of selfish politicians promoting their own agendas at the cost of the nation and because of a tendency to promote or put up with mediocrity everywhere -- the necessity for striving for excellence is once in a way heard from our president, though -- students do not look at Language skills with any concern. Recently we had to recruit an Information Officer for our VIC. Out of about fifteen persons we considered, hardly two or three could measure up as far as basic English Language skills are concerned. On one hand we find the Indian librarians community in India to be prolific writers - even an entry level resume mentions two or three 'papers' published and on the other hand we find that their presentation and communication skills at horribly very low levels. What are reasons? How can this be changed? Who should take action? Is it OK to be where & how we are? What do LIS teachers have to say? In this lamentation I am not bothered about typing errors (may be you are just lazy - not that you do not know), spelling mistakes (heavy dependence on spell checkers), occasional slippages (it happens to everyone), unheard of abbreviations being thrust on everyone by cell phone (or email?) culture and the like. I am concerned with basic English Language skills expected of a tenth class student. Kindly do not take recourse to "It is the same everywhere - in all other preofessions too" type of argument.

please forward to forum...Why should we be proficient in English?
by A.V. Nagarathna 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Dear All, This has reference to the advice of Dr. P. Vyasamoorthy. I strongly feel that it is essential to have proficiency in English (to the extent where we will be able to communicate exactly what we want to), since it has already become an universal language all over the world. Why one need to know the English language is for the simple reason that we (being information professionals) have to convey / deliver / disseminate the information properly to others. ---------------------------- For eg.: I am based at an academic institution where the majority of the scientific community include visitors from all over the world. The students based at the Centre are selected on an all India selection basis. They will not know our regional language. If we do not know english properly how do we communicate and help them in locating any document or reference materials etc. How are we expected to interact with them, just like dumb people...with actions ? ---------------------------- It is essential and depends on where you are? what your job specifications? how are you are expected to execute your work etc..etc. Knowing a language which is universal is always good not only for LIS professionals but for all who want to communicate efficiently. --------------------------- I always welcome any suggestions (from this forum) which may help to execute our job in a more fruitful way (instead of taking it as an insult, why not take it as an advice from the experienced professionals to improve ourselves? ). It is left to the other members whether to take the suggestions or ignore it. But, why deny any one on this forum to express their views. After all, ours is a democratic country! ---------------------------- Since all of us able to communicate in English we are on this forum and take advantage of it. otherwise, can we ask NCSI to translate all our communication in regional languages and forward it to the forum ?????? Instead of blaming any language (for its universality), we need to appreciate that we have a language through which we can exchange our views/information all over the world ! I have read several articles in conference proceedings in the field library science, it is really horrible. I do not comment on the authors (of that particular article) proficiency in English ! but for the responsibility of the Editors/conference organisers who bring out the publications without editing it! At the same time I have read excellent articles by Dr. Rajashekar (NCSI), Prof. Shalini (Mysore univ.) to name a few, who always maintain high standards in their writings. Please accept suggestions with open mindedness. Thank you for your patience. Regards, A.V. Nagarathna

Google Unveil Movie Show Time Search
by Farooque Shaheen 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Google has added yet another offering to its long list of custom Web searches: movie reviews. By including the "movie:" operator within a search query, Google brings up organized reviews of a flick from across the Web. The new service even calculates a movie's combined rating out of five stars. Google has also created dedicated pages for each movie, which give an overview of reviews and allow for searching of related terms, such as actors in the film. Much like its Google News service, the search giant indexes the review and displays its source and critic, along with a snippet of text. All of the content aggregation is done automatically and sorted by computers. Furthering its strategy of building a complete ecosystem of search tools, the new feature integrates with ?Google Local? to provide show times of nearby movies. Users can then utilize ?Google Maps? to bring up directions to the theater. Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Caritor India Pvt Ltd.

RE: [LIS-Forum] Why do we need high proficiency in English language ?
by Aman Jha 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Dear sir, I think library science teachers are to teach library science as a professional subject not as an academic subject. I give you an example: When I was doing my computer course from NIIT, they not only taught us computer skills but also how to present and behave in the professional environment. They taught us about perfect personality which included communication skills and application of TQM. YOU NEED TO RECONSIDER YOUR FIRST STATEMENT. I firmly believe that even Govt colleges and universities while recruiting librarians look for candidates having good communications skills in English. ICICI is a corporate organisation. I would not have been selected as a librarian of CII, if I had a weak background in English. Dr Chandra would not have got ISO 9002 certificate for his library, if he had a weak command over English. Similarly, Dr Ranganathan would not have got chance to study abroad for the upliftment of library science in India. There are so many examples. Those who have excelled their name in libaray science in India had very good command over English. Whereas the case of speaking in Hindi is concerned, it is really a shame for us that even in the Parliament, MPs prefer to speak in English. And we make fun of those who speak in Hindi. I remember a case when I was working in Eureka Forbes to support my study expenses in Delhi, the immediate boss of mine and other colleagues made fun of my signing appointment letter in Hindi. There is no question of looking down upon our fellow professionals but to raise their standards to cop with the present demand of professional requirements. I am sorry if I have hurt your feelings. My personal views pl.

How many Librarians in East Europe, Japan, France, China and Russia and many other countries know English. Haven't these countries progressed ? If the Librarian has studied in Vernacular upto high school, is it his fault ? Library Science teacher's are there to teach Library Science and not English Language skills. When you were recruiting an Information Officer, what was the basic requirement ? Was it his skills in Information Management or English language ? You have a done a great disservice by writing highly unwarranted mail. This will dissuade many Librarians from writing to this forum. They all will develop inferiotity complex. Itis a national shame that when two Indians...Librarians.... from different parts of the country meet they have to communicate in English language. Have you ever thought about conversing in Hindi ? I jolly well know the importance of English language in the world. But that doesn't mean that we have to look down upon our fellow professionals who are not proficient in English. We have all become slaves to English language and take great pride in being so. I as a customer, have received many e-mails from your Organization and I don't think ICICI as such attaches much importance to English language skills and rightly so. Why is it that only you are so keen about it when it is not an Institutional policy. Working knowledge of the languages is more that sufficient for providing the services.

RE: [LIS-Forum] Librarians' proficiency in English
by Aman Jha 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Dear Dr Vyasamoorthy I too feel that English Language proficiency is a problem for many library professionals. This is basically for those who belong to BIMARU states. I myself belong to one of such states where English language is taught from 6th standards onwards and in 10th standard, it is not mandatory to pass in English. This is the case of many state boards. I somehow managed to fill this gap after 10th, may be due to my primary education took place in Delhi. Even in Delhi during 1980s, English was taught not before 6th standard in Govt schools. PROBLEMS: Education systems: State Boards: There is a general practice in many states where passing in English is not mandatory in the State Board examinations. Universities: Many universities allow Hindi speaking students, whose medium of instruction till Bachelor have been in Hindi, to get admission in BLIS course where BLIS is taught in Hindi. There are many other LIS departments where medium of instruction is mentioned English in Prospectus but Hinglish is practised. Attitude: In my case, since I was very weak in English till 10th, I took it very seriously for higher education and started studying basic English books even primary levels, grammar and translation with lot of self-practice at home which boosted my confidence of English language. WHAT TO BE DONE? I think British Council has taken a good lead in developing English language skills in the country. Professionals who feel are weak in English may join a short term course. As an interface between books and users, librarian must have good communication skills in English and should be primary requisite for the recruitment of the post. Employers should also enhance their employees' communication skills by organising an internal training/workshop program. Library associations should come forward, if not, library network centres in India can join hands with the primary employers to organise such programs. There are many other avenues where professionals may try for upgrading their English language skills. I had compiled a comprehensive list of English Language Training Schools/Centres in India last year. I will be happy to share that list.

Communication skills

Dear friends, I strongly endorse the views of Dr. Vysamoorthy regarding the present day out comes of Libray Schools. I have even spoken about this to some professors teaching in library schools. Librarian or Information Officers position involves dealing with users, managements, government bodies etc. etc. When the library staff or the librarian himself cannot present himself well what respect can you expect in organizations? To improve the situation, like how english classes are introduced in technical courses like B.E., even in library courses english should be made compulsory. This may solve the problem to a small extent. I take english classes for few staff members in my library whenever I have some time, so that they can present themselves better in front of users. Many come from rural back ground and hence this drawback. Gayathri Sen PESIT --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Helps protect you from nasty viruses.

Basic English

Kudos to Dr.Vyasamoorthy! Certainly the real culprits are the education system & selfish politicians. You will agree this is an exciting topic. We speak of national integration. We accept or do not accept that English language brings all castes & communities together. Ridiculous indeed! How many universities are conducting interviews for B.L.I.Sc in regional language to see that the mediocrity thrives everywhere. Are the teachers of LIS not responsible for this appalling state? Do the teachers of LIS identify & motivate the would-be prolific writers? Do the teachers speak correct English in the class? Are the teachers simply cynical of students who are better than the teachers? Are the teachers aware of difference between healthy criticism & cynicism? I believe the teachers are right in the centre of the field to mould the academic society. It is just like blaming the government for all ills not knowing that the govt. is of the people, by the people and for the people. As Dr.Radhakrishnan said " a teacher commands respect and not demands respect. Learning is directed both ways teacher-students and students-teachers. Now who is responsible for the poor communication skill : the system of education, the floating politicians or the sacred teachers? This is a food for thought. A proper analysis would bring in the answer. -- Shantha Venkatesan. Senior Librarian Prof.M.M.Sharma Library U.I.C.T.Matunga (East) Mumbai400 019

The Hindu, The next time you have a query such as "what is seven times 20" or "how high is Mt. Everest" or a complex arithmetic or algebra calculation,simply type the question in the window of MSN Search, Microsoft's latest innovation. A one-line answer would appear in microseconds on the web page, along with the other MSN search results. "How many inches in a mile?" Launched last fortnight in the country, this feature of MSN Search draws its results from the database of 1.5 million answers provided by Microsoft Encarta, the leading encyclopaedia brand. You could ask any question on geographical locations, historical and popular figures, definitions, facts, calculations, conversions, and solutions to equations. Till now, Internet browsers had to type out the key words in the search window and click on the search results to look out for precise definitions. But the one-line Encarta answer is only part of the long list of features offered by the new MSN Search, built from the ground up by Microsoft in about 16 months. Now available in 25 countries and 10 languages, the search service offers a collection of tools to Net users, giving them greater control in targeting and refining searches to get instant,accurate answers to specific questions. http://www.hindu.com/2005/02/23/stories/2005022315510300.htm Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Caritor India Pvt Ltd.

Using software called an RSS "reader" or "aggregator," users subscribe to "feeds" of content. For example, by subscribing to the Future Tense RSS feed, you automatically receive the content of the Future Tense Web site whenever it's updated, inside your RSS reader. Many major news sites have added RSS. Now, libraries are discovering that RSS might be a good way of providing new services and reaching out to patrons. Next month, the Seattle Public Library will offer feeds that will help patrons stay on top of their accounts, and track favorite authors or subjects from the library catalog. And library technology vendor Sirsi has announced new RSS features. [ http://www.publicradio.org/columns/futuretense/2005/01/21.shtml ]

FW: [LIS-Forum] Info. request - Credit Card use for book purchase &subscription
by Benny 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

Dear All The idea of using Credit Card for online purchase is good and timesaving, but entrusting that job to a vendor will do no good and one will end up in paying 10% or so service charge to the vendor. Venders now a days prefer credit cards to Wire Transfer. It is an excellent suggestion from Mr. Anand to involve "accounts department into such purchases thus avoiding after-purchase-accounts-hurdles". Looking for more suggestions Benny M.D. www.tisb.org -------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: ++ Mukesh Anand ++ To: Vyasamoorthy(a)icicikp.com; mangeshg(a)pidilite.com Cc: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in Sent: 2/14/05 4:58 PM Subject: Re: [LIS-Forum] Info. request - Credit Card use for book purchase&subscription Dear All There cannot be more complete response to the one provided by Dr.P.Vyasamoorthy. It is like an, ' How to make Purchases on Internet Using Credit Card' , manual. However, making such purchases also depends on the accounts procedures adopted by individual companies. It is always prudent to involve your own accounts department into such purchases thus avoiding after-purchase-accounts-hurdles. The easiest and most convenient solution i can think of is to entrust the job of such purchases to your professional vendor. They will take out the hassles out of such purchase process. However, you have to choose a vendor based on your past experience with him or thru word of mouth recommendations by an experienced librarian, like ,Dr.P.Vyasamoorthy.

An interesting feature of FamPat is that it gives searchers a choice of how broad a patent family they may display. First, some background. Like PlusPat, FamPat has probably the broadest country and time coverage of any subject-searchable patent database. It covers 75 patenting authorities, and some countries go back to the early 20th century (or even earlier: Germany goes back to 1877). The very early records only have numeric information. However, this includes ECLA classes in some cases, so they can be retrieved in subject searches. Subject-searchable elements include: title and abstract text and (for some French patents) indexing terms ECLA (European Patent Office) classifications, as applied by the EPO, including the ICO (in computer only) classes that cover non-inventive and other aspects of the patent U.S. patent classes as applied by the USPTO International Patent Classes as applied by most countries� patent offices One major advantage of FamPat over PlusPat is that searchers can look for all these elements across all members of a patent family. For instance, a Boolean terminology search could pick up one term from one country�s abstract and another term from a different abstract. (And, yes, the abstracts can vary from country to country, depending on different countries� requirements.) Searchers can look for IPCs from all family members, as well as ECLA and U.S. classes, combined with terminology from all family members� text. Patent assignees and inventors, which can vary from country to country, are also searchable across all members of a patent family. As previously mentioned, an interesting aspect of FamPat is its handling of patent families. FamPat starts its patent family with the EPO/espacenet strict family�a group of patent documents that all have exactly the same priority or priorities. FamPat has expanded this to include additional family members as defined by some patenting authorities� varying rules. For example, Japanese patent law requires narrower claims than many other countries. Let�s say three Japanese patent publications that are closely related show up as three publications with three different priorities. They will be listed as three separate records. However, if a U.S. patent then shows up citing all three of the Japanese priorities (and, presumably, covering all three of the Japanese publications� technology), FamPat combines all four of them into one FamPat family. In other words, their families are dynamic rather than static. If searchers want broader families, they may choose to use the FAM command to generate an INPADOC extended family. This is a group of patent documents where every member has at least one common priority with at least one other member of the family. As my old friend and colleague Stu Kaback used to point out, this sometimes generates families full of third cousins twice removed who show no visible relationship to each other. And it can generate huge families that sometimes contain hundreds of members. Still, the capability helps you ensure that you have indeed found all members of interest in a patent family. Searchers can use the FAM command either on individual patents or on sets of search results. And, as in PlusPat, searchers can create merged family displays of members of an extended family. FamPat also provides extensive patent citation information. Forward and backward citation searching is available for U.S., European, PCT, British, and French family members; Questel�Orbit plans to add Germany soon. A family citation command will generate both forward and backward citations for all members of the patent family. Searchers may also specify EPO relevance indicators as applied to European, PCT, and French documents. The Questel�Orbit fact sheet for FamPat (located at http://www.questel.orbit.com/EN/customersupport/Userdoc/Fctsht/FamPat.pdf) lists eight different relevance indicators; of major interest are X (relates directly to the invention), Y (relates to the invention when combined with another reference), and A (technology background). So, to start a validity search for a granted U.S. patent, the searcher might look closely at all the X and Y citations in its European equivalent. Searchers have a wide choice of display options. They may see one abstract or all of them. They will always see a list of family members, but they may choose to see details for each family member: assignees, inventors, domestic applications, priorities, and IPCs as assigned by that country�s examiner. The fact sheet lists a wide variety of display options. Statistical searching is possible on FamPat, with some advantages. FamPat de-duplicates the assignees in a family record, so the searcher gets only one form of the assignee name in a statistical analysis. All fielded numeric data within a family are available for analysis; therefore, an analysis of patenting or priority dates will include that data from all family members. Look for developments involving FamPat�s cross-file and multifile search capabilities with other Questel�Orbit databases later this year.

Dear all In my organisation, i have managed to get a separate corporate credit card for the library.

Dear Mangesh, With reference to your query and below mail, i would like to add my part that we are using a corporate credit card which is provided by the company. You can use this card for purchasing Books/Reference Articles, etc. and for subscribing/renewing Periodicals. Company will bear all service charges/annual membership fee or renewal fee. You should check with your company whether they have corporate credit card or not. There are eligibility criteria for getting a corporate credit card which you have refer with your company account people. In an emergency, you can also use your credit card/debit card for the same. But, its better you clarify your account departments that will they bear the service charges and other fees. Thanks and regards, Sankaralngam R Librarian Avestha Gengraine Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Dear Mangesh, In my organisation, we have arranged for credit cards which may be used for official purchases. Few prefer to use them, few make purchases and get the amount reimbursed. All the purchases require to be sanctioned in advance. Ideally, the amount should be cleared before the next billing. Few institutes have a policy where they provide cell phones/credit cards to its staff or reimburse a part of the bill. Irrespective of the facilities available, in the corporate sector, time is of essence. The work needs to be done, the method and means are immaterial. Regards, Lata G.

RE: [LIS-Forum] Info. request - Credit Card use for book purchase &subscription
by Vyasamoorthy＠icicikp.com 14 Feb '05

Dear Mangesh Ghodke Yes, We do use personal credit card for official purchases of books & journal articles, software, databases, Annual fees for online access to databases etc -- all done online. One personal Credit Card issued by ICICI Bank is used. This is used only for office use -- no personal purchases are made. All expenses of the library purchases using this card are paid by the company. The monthly invoice is settled by the accounts dept by issuing a cheque in favour of Credit Card Account number itself and directly deposited in the ICICI bank's ATM or branches. In our internal payment records we note that payment was made via credit card. The userid & password for online transactions is known only to the actual credit card owner. Renewal fees are also bourne by company. Payments in foreign currency is no problem. Many times it is cheaper!! Moreover, When a document is available in several currency prices, you can choose the currency that is cheaper for you on the day of ORDER!! Some advise while using credit cards for online purchases: 1. Please be cautious about slow connections. Slow connections cause time out problems. After filling the order form, click just once. Wait for confirmation. Slow connections sometimes do not show that order has been recieved by the vendor properly , accepted and processed. Thinking that the transaction did not go through you may (press) order again -- duplicating the order. Getting back money for duplicating order inadvertantly is tedious process though ultimately you will get back money. 2 Placing orders sitting behind an Institute's proxy server causes problems. We always use clean direct dial-up connection. 3. Never save passwords on the PC used for online orders. 4. Never allow such a PC to be used by others when you are on leave or away; someone might install a background application that records all that goes on in your screen and thereby steal your credit card passwords. 5. Be careful about "partly manual - partly automatic" online systems. Here you just mention your credit card number - including addtional last three digits - on the web order form. Vendor collects money from Credit card company through manual process. In such cases there is a possibility (it happened to me)of vendor renewing subscritions automatically without proper authorisation from you. Sometimes, the credit card companies take the previlege of automatically renewing subscriptions (like for instance insurance premiums, journal subscriptions etc) -- if you keep quite (silence is taken as consent) re-ordering is done. If you are careless you will renew without your knowledge. Hope this is useful to you.

Patent Lens(tm): Patent Database Associated with the 'Open Source' Biology Project
by Gerry Mckiernan 12 Feb '05

Colleagues/ FYI: Patent Lens TM : Free/FullText Life Sciences Patent Database [ http://www.bios.net/daisy/bios/50 ] /Gerry TM Librarian Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 gerrymck(a)iastate.edu *************************************************************************** The patent informatics and analysis component of the BIOS initiative aims to assist both professionals and non-professionals to understand and navigate the intellectual property landscape within the life sciences. These tools are an important and necessary component of the BIOS initiative, as they can assist the user to determine the IP boundaries of what is free and what is not free. Perhaps more appropriately this can be framed as: what are the constraints on deliverable innovations, and what are the useable building blocks for future innovations? The resource was initially developed by CAMBIA, as the CAMBIA IP Resource (formerly www.cambiaIP.org) The Intellectual Property (IP) resource currently consists of a fully text-searchable patents database which has recently been greatly expanded to contain 1,500,000 life science patents from the US, Australian and European-based databases, and will soon include others. We also present some key technology patent landscape analyses (white papers), guides to IP policies & practices and intellectual property tutorials. The CAMBIA-BIOS patent search resource now includes INPADOC patent family information provided by the national patent offices of over 70 countries, as well as status information provided by many of these countries. Once you have searched the patent and patent application database and identified patents of interest, a link on the search results page *************************************************************************** BIOS - Biological Innovation for Open Society - is a new initiative of CAMBIA to extend the metaphor and concepts of Open Source to biotechnology and other forms of innovation in biology.

Career in Library and Information Science
by Thakkar, Neha 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Hi All, I am very happy to join this grp of librarians / information professionals since I plan to become one in the near future. Currently I work with AC Nielsen ORG-MARG (market research firm) in client servicing. I have done my MBA (Marketing) from Symbiosis, Pune. Books and information have always been my passions since school and hence I have finally decided to pay heed to my heart and take up something seriously in this field and pursue a career in this. I require help from you all in terms of selecting an appropriate course to give me a headstart in this field. I have been thinking of pursuing Masters in Information and Library Science. Of what I understand, SNDT offers a very good masters course. I am however not aware of any other good university from where I could do this course. Could I get some suggestions in this regard? I plan to pursue a career either a a school / academic librarian (who deals with different media to educate children such as CD-ROMs, books, story-telling etc and assists school teachers on new materials/media which he / she can use effectively with children) I have limited experience in working (teaching, story telling etc) with under-priviledged children from 5 years as I used to volunteer with a Mumbai-based NGO called Vivekanand Youth Forum during college. OR a Business Reference librarian / Business Information Specialist (in Corporate) since I do similar work right now (only right now I deal with ACN proprietary tools and data for marketing data) I would like to explore other proprietory datasources and secondary sources. I am also considering a short stint with British Council Library in Mumbai (if any one works there or has ever worked there, could you please tell me what is the procedure to apply and whether they would be ok recruiting someone without a Masters in Library Science) Would be very very glad for any inputs from your side for me at the begining of my career in this field. Regards, Neha

Skype/Intenet Phone Services for Digital/Virtual/Chat Reference Service?
by Gerry Mckiernan 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

Colleagues/ Yesterday, NPR has a great overview piece about Skype and other Internet calling services" "Morning Edition, February 7, 2005 · A growing number of people are making cheap long-distance calls using the Internet and special telephone adapters. Others are talking for free, relying solely on their computers and services like Skype [ http://www.skype.com ] Skype has become hugely popular with colleges kids and their parents, who like to stay in touch without running up a bill. Renee Montagne used Skype to talk with New York Times Technology writer David Pogue about the options of making contact without involving phone companies." [ http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4488307 ] I am curious to know if any library is using Skype for local, regional, and/or consortial Digital/Virtual/Chat service(s). TIA! /Gerry Gerry McKiernan Long-Distant Librarian Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 gerrymck(a)iastate.edu

Dear All This is with reference to the posting marked at no. 4 in today's topics. I enquired from the NICD Library, New Delhi about the article and was informed by Mrs Sashi Talwar, the Librarian that they have already dispatched this article to WHO Geneva since they also received this request from them directly. I just thought to share with all of you in the group about it. I have also written to Mr Tomas Allen informing him about it. Thanking you Yours faithfully Sangeeta Kaul Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph: a beginning, a struggle, and a victory.

Regarding Rural Library Collection
by Gowri Ravindranth 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

This is regarding Appasaheb Naikal's request for suggestions for collection development in a school library. I wish to share my personal experience with him: I have set up a small children's library in a village near Pondicherry spending money from my pocket to purchase books. It is actually a story reading session - we sit under a tree and I read stories to them in regional language and english and then explain it to them line by line. Sometimes we sing together. Children will tell a story, joke, riddles which they have learnt. We discuss current affairs since last class. Do craft work on alternate sessions. At the end of the session issue journal/books to them. Initially I collected the weekly supplements meant for children from the regional language newspapers and circulated them among the children. It helped me to identify the serious readers and their capacity to handle the reading material given to them. Recently I bought books in the Chennai Book Fair (i.e. the Fairs might help you to buy regional language books with a discount). Children's Book Trust, New Delhi might have a few regional language publications. You may check with your Government's Directorate of Public Libraries for possible help. I heard Infosys's Sudha Murthy is interested in establishing School Libraries in rural Karnataka. She might help you. I keep play material like Chess, Box of crayons and papers, Carrom, Tic Toe etc., They wish to have skipping ropes, volleyball or football - I tactfully declined this request since it will not keep them focused on 'reading' People might be willing to pay subscription for children's magazines should you let them know about your efforts. Hope the information will be of use. Regards L. R. Gowri, Reference Librarian, AIRC, Chennai 600 006 The real power of teamwork. Experience it in real time. http://g.msn.com/8HMAENIN/2749??PS=47575 Experience MS Office System.

Approaches to make CDS/ISIS Databases OAI-Compliant
by Francis Jayakanth 07 Feb '05

07 Feb '05

Dear Members: For those of us using CDS/ISIS, we know how good this package is in handling textual data. This package is in use for decades now and the number of databases being maintained world-wide, using this package must be substantially high! Could somebody please let me know the major initiatives of CDS/ISIS world-wide? In the present day context of interoperability of DLs through the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), http://www.openarchives.org/ , wouldn't it be wonderful, if CDS/ISIS databases could be made OAI-compliant, too? We have done just that and are happy to share the information with fellow members. The National Centre for Science Information (NCSI), IISc., Bangalore, and the Digital Library Research Group (DLRG) at the Old Dominion University (ODU), Norfolk, Virginia, USA, have jointly developed and successfully demonstrated, two approaches to make CDS/ISIS databases OAI compliant: static and dynamic. This has been reported on the UNESCO site as well and can be reached at: http://www.unesco.org/isis The papers resulting from our work are also available from the above link. For the present, only our first paper, entitled "Approaches to make CDS/ISIS Databases Interoperable With other Digital Libraries" is available from the site. Our second paper, entitled "Interoperability of Legacy Bibliographic Database Systems over Internet - A Case Study with CDS/ISIS" will be available from the above URL shortly. We believe that our work has a tremendous potential and CDS/ISIS community can happily continue to use this excellent package without having to worry about migrating to other software packages in order to be OAI-compliant. You may like to have a look at the test bed federation of a few sample CDS/ISIS databases that we have been able to build. Its available at: http://hutch.cs.odu.edu:9875/arc upon reaching this site, you may enter terms like, digital library, ocean, or information and the system will return a list of databases holding records matching the query string. Please note that Arc is an OAI service provider for DL federation. Its an open source software developed by the DLRG, ODU.

My feeling is that this is an issue which the new body of ILA should take up immediately. There is an urgent need to have a cell in ILA which could take care of the issues relating to promotional avenues, recruitment rules, status, etc. Also, I have a feeling that there is a discrimination between the status accorded to the university librarian on the one hand and the Deputy Librarians and Asst Librarians on the other. I understand that while the University Librarians are accorded full academic status, with provision for extension of service even after the age of retirement, the same is not the case in respect of DLs and ALs. Gross injustrice has been done to DLs and ALs in recent years. For instance, because of the recent withdrawal of full academic status to ALs & DLs, even their age of retirement has been reduced. I can cite at least one case of an honest Deputy Librarian who suffered most because of this development. Mr NV Jagga Rao (Dy Librarian of the Central Institute of English and Foreign Languages, Hyderabad) was retired so suddenly that he is not receiving even a single rupee as pension. He joined the LIS profession in 1957 having served the Andhra University, CLRI, Chennai, BHEL and the American Studies Research Centre. Is this the treatment we mete out to honest LIS professionals who serve the profession with dedication and utmost integrity? My strong feeling is that ILA needs to play a key role in protecting the interests of LIS professionals at all levels. It should act as a clearinghouse for info on all Govt of India/Institutional orders relating to recruitment, promotion policies, etc. My experience at CIEFL reveals that recruitment rules/promotional policies are framed in secrecy, changes made in secrecy and the staff are not informed properly. Only the university librarian is kept informed and he does not disclose it to all his subordinate nor did he take the staff into confidence or consult them. We came to know of the changes only when they were implemented and that too with disastrous consequences. When we wrote to the Registrar for copies of the promotional policy document, we could not get. When we said that we would approach the National Human Rights Commisssion for redressal, he gave permission to do so. This is the state of affairs to get a copy of a document which does not fall under the category of Official Secrets. Finally, we preferred an appeal to the Honourable High Court of Andhra Pradesh and the case is pending. Also, all ALs and DLs should be once again declared as full- fledged academic staff and accorded parity with University Librarians in terms of retirement age, extension of service after retirement, etc. Another serious anomoly is promotional avenues for Professional Assistants working in libraries. The present hierarchy is as follows: Junior Library Asst Semi-Professional Asst Professional Asst Assistant Librarian Deputy Librarian University Librarian Of all the above categories, only Professional Assts cannot be promoted to the level of Asst Librarian. As a result, they are struck at the level of Professional Asst and there are hundreds of PAs stagnating without any promotional avenues. This issue also needs the attention of ILA.

Librarian h aving the same qualification as a lecturer there is a very wide gap between them. At the time of selection both the post are equivalent but service condition and status wie this is totally different as at the time of status the authorities called Asst. Libra rians a non teaching employee. It is not that we (library professional) lack talent and skills it is the mindset of authorities and teaching community thet they think themselves more superior and efficient. How long one can perform if he/he can not get proper training, promotions and recognition etc. Most of the top positions of Library field are occopied by the people who have good political links and they do not think or discus about the plight of their junior staff. It i not that uer not give us proper reponse or not happy with our ervice etc. but they can not make much for our status and service conditions. as I was working prior this job at NCTE, New Delhi as LDPOand before that Asst. Librarian at British Council Library, Patna. Users were so satisfied by our kill and services that at the time in 2001 when british Council decided to close the Patna branchon pretext of downsizingthe uer made strong protet agint the closer. They even formed user forum and thet is stil l fighting a case in court against Britih Council's closure of the library. So ultimately, it i due to some of us and our ILA like bodies that we don't have still library legislation in big states like UP and Bihar etc. and proper recognition for the profession. Thanks Regards, Syed Mohd Shahid Asst. Librarian "Prof. N. Laxman Rao." <<naglaxman(a)yahoo.com> wrote: hi it is a big issue. in our state, the college librarians have been designated as lect in lib sc. the univ staff have been designated as prof, associ prof and asst prof. earlier ugc had given equivalent status, now the age of retirement is differrent. it is unfortunate. the lirarians responsibility had been enormously increased in the context of distance education and they should be in better recognition than teachersand otherr staff. it is also unfortunate, in spite of all the new developments, librarians are unable to prove that they are essential and nothing can happen with out them. they are also swimming in the same stream like teachers,other employeees leaving their responsibilities to the air. ofcourse, every one is not like. i am only stating majority. when the government does ot have the responsibility or accountability except the authority and power, how we can expect support from the govt to rectify, the education system. prvate orgns are doing better, as no out side involvment and therefore, they play with employees. however, please understand that i am not interested to criticise are comment on any one. what r the reasons? it may be parents non-involvement, politicians involvments, caste, religion and regional feelings--what not many? who has to bell the cat? i think the profession as a whole has to show to the world like in other countries- that librarians are essential services, and nothing less than that. it is possile with our services and recognition. i know that the facilities are not given but expectations are high. we have to do our best with in the given environmet. take associations, did they do anything except conf and seminars. except politics in its activities did we do develop any software, or standrds or any thing like assons in other countries. we have talent and skill and knowledge, but nothing happens and if some one want to do something, others put spokes? i leave further to others for comments. please do not comment personally or any one. it is a general issue. STILL I FEEL THE LIBRARY PROFESSIONALS ARE GREAT AD THE NEED COMPLETE RECOGNITION, AND IT CAN NOT E DENIED BECAUSE OF FEW PROFESSIONAL FRIENDS. sorry if i have hurted any one.

Manipur State Central Library in Shambles
by Vyasamoorthy＠icicikp.com 07 Feb '05

07 Feb '05

Dear Friends: Please read the news below. Here's another disturbing scenario of Public Library System. If lack of books due to funds crunch is a concern, I think a drive seeking donation Dr.P.Vyasamoorthy, Advisor, Virtual Information Centre, ICICI Knowledge Park, Genome Valley, Turkapally, Shameerpet Mandal, RR District, Hyderabad 500078 INDIA Email: vyasamoorthy(a)icicikp.com Phone - Office: +91(40)23480053 Fax: +91(40)23480007 Phone Residence: +91(40)27846631 of books might also help. Vyasamoorthy, P =============================================== State Central library yearns for visitor Source: The Sangai Express http://www.e-pao.net/GP.asp?src=7.14.060205.feb05 Imphal, February 05: Unlike the past when staffs of the Manipur State Central Library had little time for relaxation due to constant thronging of readers and necessity to keep tap of book hirers and returners the library employees are these days literally yawning their time away as number of book readers have dwindled substantially. At the present juncture number of visitors, book hirers and returners that could reach upto ten in a single day can be described as the busiest day for the employees as many days pass without a single visitor showing up at the library. According to a frequent visitor the chief factor for dissuading readers are books at the library shelves that are comparatively irrelevant and outdated to the present day requirement for commoners while students keep distance from the library due to lack of reference books that could commiserate with the prescribed syllabus. When a group of higher secondary students were urged to justify visit to the library, they conveyed of coming to study only with books brought from their own homes or exchange views with friends. Neither are national newspapers, weeklies and monthly magazines nor foreign magazines and books capable of providing competition examination feedbacks available at the library, highlighted the students. Subject-wise magazines could also not be found at the library, they said while lamenting that even the reading rooms are congested with only one medium size table dotted by 15 chairs in the reference section. Moreover, desks and benches provided at the children's section of the library are also gathering dust and spider web all over clearly indicating that children were seldom present in the room unlike in the past when parents used to encourage children cultivate habit of book reading. Even worse is the general section where the book shelves are laying empty and the few available there hardly of any use these days. Established in 1958 the Central library is the first of its kind in the state. Painting a pitiable picture an employee observed that rather that expand knowledge of readers the library itself is on the verge of extinction unless prompt action is taken to woo back book enthusiasts. When queried the Chief Librarian attributed the deplorable condition to financial problem that had besieged the State Govt that ultimately curbed maintenance, purchase of new books and other necessary arrangements. Due to financial crunch for the past many years development activities not only fell behind but even office management had become an arduous tasks, said the Chief Librarian On the brighter side, the official expressed confidence of reviving the library as Government attention had been earned resulting in release of funds to purchase new books, said the official. Among the new purchases include encyclopedia, books for reference, guide, law and children, added the officials who informed that due to necessity of following official procedure the public will have to wait for some more time in gaining access to the fresh arrivals. The Chief Librarian also endorsing complaints of the reading rooms being too congested said the problem could be addressed once the new library building construction has been completed. ==============================

03 Feb '05

NCSI-NET (Network of Alumni and Staff of NCSI, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore) Cordially invites you to a talk on SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING: (Current developments and issues related to Open Access Publishing and Institutional Repositories) By Prof. Jean-Claude Guedon Department of Comparative Literature University of Montreal Montreal, Canada On 5th February 2005 (Saturday) Time: 11.15 A.M. Venue: NCSI Lecture Hall, NCSI, IISc Coffee: 10.45 11.15 A.M. RSVP: Mr. Madhuresh Singhal (madhuresh_s(a)aurigene.com) or Mr. T.S. Prasanna (t.s.prasanna(a)intel.com) NCSI-Net Coordinators ----------------------------------------- ABOUT THE SPEAKER Jean-Claude Guédon holds his doctorate in the History of Science from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and is currently Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Montreal. He is also member of the Information Sub-Board of the Open Society Institute. He became interested in electronic publishing in the late '80's when he began thinking about what an electronic journal would be like. Thanks to help from Apple Canada, his University and several granting agencies, he was able to launch the first Canadian scholarly e-Journal, Surfaces, in the Fall of 1991. Prof. Guedons interest in both theoretical and practical issues regarding electronic publishing has led him to produce numerous papers on the subject as well as to present at conferences worldwide. He has been actively engaged in projects pushing the boundaries of scholarly communication including serving on the steering committees of the Canadian National Site Licensing Project and the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. He has lectured extensively on related topics in various seminars and meetings organized by prestigious agencies including the National Library of Medicine, Association of Research Libraries, Open Society Institute, IFLA, Society of Scholarly Publishers, OCED-IMHE, and so on. He is widely identified with the open archive philosophy, but also with calls to revise the evaluation process of scientific papers and has tried to help SPARC's battle to create change and competition. In December 2001, Prof. Guedon was invited by the Soros Foundation to participate in the meeting that has given rise to the Budapest open access initiative (http://www.soros.org/openaccess/read.shtml) His other areas of interest include the Internet and the relationship between arts and technology. He has written several publications in French in this area and one of his books La Planète Cyber. Internet et cyberespace, published in Paris by Gallimard in 1996, has been a minor best seller in the French-speaking world. Some related publications by Prof. Guedon: "The Green and Gold Roads to Open Access: The Case for Mixing and Matching". Serials Review. Volume 30, No. 4, December 2004, Pages 257-381.

About the workshop : Information availability in digital form has been increasing quite rapidly in the last few years. In practice we have to deal with many types of digital documents such as text-based word-processed documents, e-mail messages, spreadsheets, presentations, scanned image documents, website (hypertext) documents, multimedia documents, digital audio and video, and dynamically interlinked documents. Increasing availability of various types documents currently tend to blur the boundaries between types of stored information, and increase the problems of capturing and retaining all elements of files. Digital information overload is the recent phenomena and people have been working to evolve suitable mechanism to address this issue. We do not currently have universal standard in digital information management however guidelines are available based on best practices. The virtual archives of the future will be maintained not through accessioning, preservation and provision of on-site access to information, but through the control of information about stored information, and its use to ensure relation, disposition and access. Course Contents: · E-information transaction and resources · E-mail discussion forums, list servers, group mails, and professional discussion lists · Digital information archiving · Customization and personalization of digital resources · Digital access management · Digital resources for e-learning · Digital resources processing, metadata and intelligent search and so on. · Integrating web resources in digital library Workshop Expert: Prof. Edward Proctor, Associate Professor in Library and Information Science, South West Missouri State University, USA Registration and Participation: The workshop can accommodate maximum of 30 participants only. Registration Fee: Rs. 500/- per Participant. Interested Members confirm your participation by E-mail, Fax or Phone before 7th Feb 2005, along with DD/cheque/cash for Rs. 500/- favouring M.S.

Disruptive Scholarship
by Gerry Mckiernan 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

Disruptive Scholarship As defined by the Wikipedia, "[a] disruptive technology is a lower performance or less expensive product or process that gains a foothold in the low end, less demanding part of an existing market, and then successively moves up-market through performance improvements until finally displacing the market incumbents. Disruptive technologies are usually introduced to the market by small startup enterprises." The term Disruptive Technology was coined by Clayton M. Christensen and described in his 1997 book The Innovator's Dilemma. [MORE] [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_technology ] In considering the nature of the Wiki [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki ] and the increasing range of applications [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/WikiBib.htm ], I have begun to speculate further about the Wiki as *the* platform for The Next Generation e-Journal [ http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Web4Lib/archive/0408/0173.html ] and the transformation of the review process. I hereby invite Any and All of my Web Colleagues to Critically Review the scenarios outlined below in which I sketch the probable future [:-)] of scholarly communication, review, and publishing ['Disruptive Scholarship'] in the WikiWorld. Regards, /Gerry Gerry McKiernan Disruptive Librarian Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 gerrymck(a)iastate.edu Presented for Your Consideration: In view of its collaborative features and functionalities, and the nature and character of alternative methods of quality management outlined, the wiki environment (McKiernan 2005) could provide an outstanding framework for preparing, editing, reviewing, assessing, and publishing for a range of scholarly work, including manuscripts, articles, journals, and monographs (Guest 2003). In one possible wiki-based publication scenario, authors would prepare a manuscript draft using locally-installed wiki engine software (or a free or commercial wiki service) that best suits their needs or preferences. In a first stage review, colleagues would be invited to participate in a review of the draft. At this stage, the author can choose to allow first-stage reviewers to edit the text, or limit participation to a discussion space. At a second stage, known specialists in the field(s) covered by the manuscript could be invited to review the revised first stage version. As in the first stage review, second stage reviewers would be granted open permission to edit the manuscript text, or be restricted to commenting on its content. At a third - and perhaps final stage - the author could request that others (such members of a professional electronic discussion list) review and edit and/or comment on the new, revised version. After final review, the revised final stage version could be locked from future discussion or editing. The locking of the final version could constitute formal publication of the work. Alternatively, the author/editor in chief at some later time could unlock the published version and invite any reader to discuss and/or edit it, thereby creating a 'living', dynamic, potentially ever-changing-and improving document by doing so. In this general scenario, there would be no editorial evaluation or judgment of the initial or subsequent versions of an original manuscript by an editor or editorial board; at each stage, the author would serve as both author and editor in chief, and ultimately as publisher of his/her work. The significance and value of the work would be based on a variety of metrics that could include a matrix of such measures as citation pattern, linking volume, and access statistics (McKiernan 2004).

NPR:Personal Radio Via Podcasting Grows More Popular
by Gerry Mckiernan 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

Colleagues/ Great Overview of Podcasting with Great Links! Opportunities for Libraries/Librarians? /Gerry Gerry McKiernan Coded Librarian Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 gerrymck(a)iastate.edu Personal Radio Via Podcasting Grows More Popular [ http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4472935 ] All Things Considered, January 31, 2005 · Adam Curry, the former MTV VJ, is the star of a new broadcasting medium. His show, Daily Source Code, claims some 50,000 listeners -- but can't be heard on the traditional airwaves. Instead, it's a podcast, so-called because it's delivered via the Internet directly to iPods and other personal listening devices. The podcast pushes the range of personal online rantings to something close to an international radio broadcast. And as NPR's Nathan Santamaria reports, the quality is low, but the hopes are high. Selected Podcasts * Adam Curry's Daily Source Code * Michael W. Geoghegan's Reel Reviews * The Whole Truth: 'The New Testament in a Year' * The Dawn and Drew Show (Note: Adult Content May be Offensive to Some Listeners) * Mr. X's Morning Commute * Grape Radio: 'Sharing a Tremendous Enthusiasm for Wine' * Coverville: 'The Best and Worst of Cover Songs' Public Radio Podcasts * NPR's 'On the Media' * WGBH's 'Morning Stories' * American Public Media's 'Future Tense' * American Public Media's 'Weekend America' * Public Radio Exchange * 'Benjamin Walker's Theory of Everything' * 'Democracy Now'

Re: Website on Karnatak University's Question Papers

Dear Santosh, Let me first wish u all the best for ur endeavor. As it is u are working under one of the best guidance of Mr. G. K. Manjunath, Chief Librarian & Mr. S. M. Pujar, Assistant Librarian. I would like to suggest some points which I hope will be of help u in ur website development & give a professional touch to it: 1. The color coordination of all the pages should be consistent (inclusive of the Title, Tables, etc). The acknowledgement, contact & request page looks entirely diff. than the rest of the website. 2. In the contacts page u can add the links of the other portions of ur site (About Karnataka University, Social Science faculty, etc). 3. With regards to the Quotes (its a nice idea), but all the pages should be having one and better still if u can link with some website from where u can get the Quotes automatically updated, try out http://www.quotationspage.com/yourpage.html . 4. W.r.t copyright year u should put it in all the pages, better while making diff. pages for the site make a model page and keep just changing the content and the requisite links only (P.s.: this will save a lot of time and energy and will also give a consistent look to ur web pages). 5. There is a lot of space left vacant near the bottom of ur pages, just scrape the vacant space and try to cover the page in a way that will give it a more professional look. 6. Its a tendency of us information professionals to either go in for very subdued colors or very bright colors, (correct me if Iam wrong), but when a person visits a site he/she is basically attracted to the sites which have proper color coordination. Very subdued ones gives it a dull feel and very bright ones irritates the patron to the level that he/she cannot sustain to browse through the web pages for long because of the eye strain. Better go in for colors which give a pleasant feel as well as are sober and less strain to the eyes. 7. Regular updating of the website is the key aspect of making the efforts borne fruitful. I am submitting some of my suggestions over here if, any suggestions are there please update me too (for all my fellow professionals). Heres wishing u all the very best again Santosh for ur website development. Best Regards, Ashish J. Kanal -----------------------------------------------------------------------Ashish J.

For introverted Librarians
by Jay H 31 Jan '05

31 Jan '05

Public Speaking Handbook for Librarians and Information Professionals by Sarah R. Statz Paperback: 175 pages Publisher: McFarland & Company (July, 2003) ISBN: 0786415460 US $ 39.95 Editorial Reviews >From Booklist "One of the core competencies for librarians today is communication skills." This quotation from Maggie Weaver opens Statz's book. In two sections, "The Speaking Process" and "The Speaking Environment," Statz shares her own and others' experiences with public-speaking interaction. She does not promise to make it easy but rather to help librarians find their own voices. "The Speaking Process" is a textbook of the principles of preparation and delivery. These chapters focus on listening as well as speaking. "The Speaking Environment" discusses specific situations such as interviewing, instruction, meetings, and presentations. Appendixes of professional interviews, software tips, and bibliographic references make this a book that could be used in a teaching situation or as a reference for the professional shelf in any library. RBB Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved Product Description: Now more than ever, librarians need good communication skills. They are no longer unseen collectors, classifiers, and cultural guardians. Information professionals are doing more public speaking at conferences, in meetings, classes, book talks and countless other situations, but many of them dislike, even fear, the thought of getting up in front of a group of people and giving a presentation. Librarians and other information professionals can find in this work help in overcoming their hesitation. Part one offers basic principles for better speech preparation and delivery, discussing such topics as the importance of good listening skills to being a good speaker, doing the necessary research beforehand, applying organizational skills to a presentation, engaging an audience, practicing a presentation before actually giving it, and putting oneself at ease, among others. Part Two discusses the specific situations in which librarians often have to communicate, including interviews, interpersonal communication, library instruction, meetings and presentations to large groups. Reviews : Sarah Statz's Public Speaking Handbook for Librarians and Information Professionals is a terrific resource for any librarian who counts workshops, book talks, bibliographic instruction, story times, presentations, or discussion groups among their job responsibilities. It is also a useful tool for any library employee seeking to improve their day-to-day interactions with library users. This well-written handbook is divided into two distinctive parts. The first part provides basic strategies and suggestions suitable for anyone preparing to speak before a group. The second section focuses specifically on the world of library professionals and the situations in which improved public speaking skills can positively impact self-representation as well as the quality of service provided in the library. I found that the author's enthusiasm for the topic, keen sense of humor, conversational writing style, and well-researched approach make this handbook uniquely enjoyable to read. A busy professional will also appreciate the practical length of the book, the nicely annotated suggestions for further reading (included with many of the chapters), and "The Speaker's Bookshelf" in the appendices. It is clear that the author has carefully done her research and applied it to her own experience working in the library world. As a public librarian, I have referred to this book many times and have always found it to be useful. I believe that any library professional will find this handbook to be an asset to their personal reference shelf.

Searching the TV programs - The Google way
by Sreeharsha_Gopalakrishna＠i2.com 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

Dear Professionals, Google has launched its Beta version of Google Video - the new search facility to search the TV programs, online. Give any TV program name as a key word - we get the brief information about the show. The best part of it is, On the left hand side of the result page, we get links about the show, upcoming episodes of the show, and if we still want to know more abt the show, there is a Google hyperlink which gives the result. Since its still in its early stage not much videos are uploaded, yet. Here is a brief account about Google Video Search: ==================================================================================== Google Tunes Into TV Google Video Enables Users to Search TV Content From PBS, the NBA, Fox News, C-SPAN, and others Mountain View, Calif. January 25, 2005 Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) today announced the availability of Google Video, a new service that enables users to search the content of television programs from leading TV content providers including PBS, the NBA, Fox News, and C-SPAN, among others. This announcement demonstrates Google's commitment to creating innovative technologies that provide access to a greater diversity of the world's information. "What Google did for the web, Google Video aims to do for television," said Larry Page, Google co-founder and president of Products. "This preview release demonstrates how searching television can work today. Users can search the content of TV programs for anything, see relevant thumbnails, and discover where and when to watch matching television programs. We are working with content owners to improve this service by providing additional enhancements such as playback." The Google Video beta (http://www.google.com/video) enables users to search across the closed captioning content of a growing number of TV programs that Google began indexing in December, 2004. Entering a query such as iPod will return a list of relevant television programs with still images and text excerpts from the exact point in the program where the search phrase was spoken. Google Video offers these additional search features: Preview page: Displays up to five still video images and five short text segments from the closed captioning of each program. Upcoming episodes: Shows when the program will be aired next. Search within the show: Enables searching for specific words within a given program. Program details: Offers program and episode information including channel, date and time. Change location: Finds the next time and channel where a program will air locally according to zip code. For television channels and content producers, Google Video can increase viewership by providing Google users with information on future airings of relevant programs. "For more than three decades PBS and local PBS stations have pioneered the use of state-of-the-art technology to use media to inform, engage, entertain, and educate the American public," said Pat Mitchell, President and CEO of PBS. "Today we are proud to join with Google, a company that continues to achieve new levels of technical innovation with the launch of Google Video, a new service that increases the reach and impact of PBS content." "NBA fans are tech savvy early adopters," said NBA Commissioner David Stern. "With our partnership with Google on the pioneering Google Video service, we enhance our ability to meet the needs of NBA fans, delivering to them content and information in a new and innovative way." This early-stage release of Google Video does not include Google AdWords advertising or playback options.

Google wants to offer cheap phone calls by broadband
by Sreeharsha_Gopalakrishna＠i2.com 25 Jan '05

25 Jan '05

Google wants to offer cheap phone calls by broadband Richard Wray Guardian Google is the latest dotcom business looking to increase its revenues by offering broadband internet users the ability to make cheap phone calls over the web. The California-based internet search engine is doing some searching of its own, looking for a "strategic negotiator" to help the company deal with telecoms companies to put together "a global backbone network" which will help it increase the services it can provide. Google, which carries almost half of all internet search queries globally, is one of many companies looking to offer residential customers the chance to use their existing broadband internet connections to make cheap phone calls using technology called voice over internet protocol (VoIP). Internet service providers Wanadoo and AOL are already looking at using the technology to increase the revenues they make from their existing internet access customers. For Google, which was unavailable for comment yesterday, providing a telephony service would give the search engine its first chance to gain an insight into who uses its website. The information would improve the service it offers to its advertisers. Industry observers reckon that through VoIP Google would also be able to add new functions such as click to dial - where an advertiser's web-page has a special button that connects an internet phone straight to a call centre. At its most basic level, VoIP offers free calling. Services such as Skype and Gossiptel allow broadband users to download software on to their computers and call other broadband users with exactly the same software for free regardless of where they are. But problems arise when VoIP users wish to call or be called by people who are not using the same technology or who are on mobile phone networks. To connect a call across networks incurs an interconnect fee which shatters the ideal of free internet phone calls as the VoIP service provider finds itself having to pay for the privilege of being part of the international telephony market. VoIP specialist Vonage launched a broadband telephony service in the UK from ?9.99 offering unlimited calling to landline phones in the UK and Ireland. At Christmas BT ran a promotion offering a year's free internet calls to new broadband customers along with a free VoIP headset. **************************************** Sreeharsha BG Knowledge Management Group i2 Technologies software Pvt.

Free/OpenSource /LowCost Journal Management Software?
by Gerry Mckiernan 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

_Free/OpenSource /LowCost Journal Management Software?_ For a future eProfile for my _Library Hi Tech News_ column, I am greatly interested in learning of Any and All Free/OpenSource/LowCost Journal Management Software/Systems Among the software/systems I have identified are epress [ http://www.epress.ac.uk/ ] "The epress journal management system helps editors and publishers of academic journals organise the flow of submissions, book reviews and journal issues. It is a web-based system which means that editors and publishers can work anywhere in the world where there is Internet access. The system prompts users through all the stages of journal administration, from selecting and inviting referees, chasing late reports, sending decision letters to authors, to publishing an issue. Although primarily deigned for managing electronic journals, it is also invaluable for conventional paper-based journals. For electronic journals, it manages notifications of new issues, generating RSS news feeds and files for content alert services. There are many other features that are invaluable for journal editors and publishers." AND Open Journal Systems [ http://www.pkp.ubc.ca/ojs/ ] "Open Journal Systems (OJS) is a journal management and publishing system that has been developed by the Public Knowledge Project through its federally funded efforts to expand and improve access to research. OJS assists with every stage of the refereed publishing process, from submissions through to online publication and indexing. Through its management systems, its finely grained indexing of research, and the context it provides for research, OJS seeks to improve both the scholarly and public quality of referred research. OJS is open source software made freely available to journals worldwide for the purpose of making open access publishing a viable option for more journals, as open access can increase a journal's readership as well as its contribution to the public good on a global scale ... " This planned eProfile will complement one devoted to commercial systems in which I profiled in my column a two-and-half years ago: "Web-based Journal Manuscript Management and Peer-Review Systems and Services" _Library Hi Tech News_ 19, no. 7 (August 2002): 31-43.

Issac Dr. Benny Dr. Prafulla Chandra If I have missed any other names unintentionally, I would like to thank them too. ------------------ I completely agree with the views of Dr. Prafulla Chandra, in lacking a single comprehensive information resource pointer/url to our publications on the internet. In fact, I was little hesitated to put this query on this forum. Before doing this, I tried to visit all the publishers web sites on the internet as well as sent request to all the book vendors to provide the updated catalogue. Since, I did not wanted to miss any of the books authored by Indian, I was tempted to put this query on this forum. I would also like to thank the NCSI for considering my request and forwarding my query to the forum. Thank you all for your guidance. Best regards, A.V. Nagarathna Documentation Centre Jawaharlal Nehru Centre For Advanced Scientific Research Jakkur, Bangalore 560064, Karnataka. P.S.: I continue to welcome if there are any more inputs to my querry, since the excercise is still going on.

Re: [nmlis] Abscence of recognition - Who will bell the cat?
by Smita Chandra 20 Jan '05

20 Jan '05

Dear professionals, Vasu (as we in Mumbai know her) has so precisely pointed out areas for revamping in the education being imparted to LIS students. I wish to share with you my perceptions on a major area of learning in LIS, namely MARC. While we have a course work on it in library schools, how many of us have actually been inducted into the training of cataloging using MARC (school or after words). Not that it hinders our work, but with the divergent plethora of libraries we work in, I am sure a very basic training would have gone a long way. No wonder we have no Labs from LIS departments specifically on say Metadata or Digital Preservation (I may please be corrected). Sometime back, I heard this at a lecture and also from major players (ethical and knowledgable) of our field, that we in India, need to start building our libraries from the very basic, by educating people to "read". We are not a society where people read to gather information. People do not "use" libraries because they do not know what to read either. I feel we need to work towards : 1. Project work for school students, such that it includes the usage of libraries. We need people representing us, to make effective statements with major bodies like the UGC, NCERT, etc, etc. Same goes the case with our IT policy. 2. Our personal appearence makes the first impression on people, for we talk later. Likewise, how effective will a "Hi-Tech Library" be, with dusty, cramped, and dark shelves? We Indians support supperior technical jargon, nothing less. For eg., if we convey people that a conference on libraries is being organized, no body would probably even listen out, but, if we were to modify and say a conference on "information management and digitial libraries" is being organized, they would be more than awed. The way our national newspapers cover any course work, or conference with the above mentioned terminology is proof to that. Maybe, we need to cash on the trend since we are already at such sinking depths, for that is what works here ! 2. More International exposure of professionals in libraries of the schools, colleges, museums. We need activities for creating libraries and introducing reading programs, just like they are doing it in Africa. Please check, worldlibraries.org/itw/itwoverview.shtml, to get an idea of what I am stating. 3. Working in correlation with major international associations, not only for conferences and conferring 'yet another' international award, but also, for training courses and workshops in India. We do not need technically loaded concepts for basics, but very fundamental skills to strive. It is not difficult to understand and implement new technology, until we learn to put forth our requirements to our respective managements, which can happen only when we prove our efficiency. 4. Somedays back, we saw a message posted about a new certificate course at UIUC available also via their LEEP program (distance education). We need our library schools to partner with major schools from all over the world, so that we can do something similar in our country. The list is long and as it comes to mind I might just keep jotting down, but I hope this is enough for a weekend (an early one this time :-)). I have seen people from most fields who choose to remain mediocres the rest of their lives. And I am talking to you about CAs, doctors, engineers, scientists who just do not excell, after all remember it is not our profession which runs (ruins) this country, but our bureaucrats and technocrats. Excellence in all fields are exceptions, but having a high morale about our profession and ourselves is not. Thanks for hearing me out, Cheers, Smita Chandra Librarian Indian Institute of Geomagnetism New Mumbai Vasumathi Sriganesh <vasu(a)qmedin.com> wrote: I think N. Sreeharsha has hit the nail on the head. "...............Okay, now who is going to tie the bell on the cat's tail"? a). I am not on the IATLIS list, since I am not a teacher in LIS. I request those who are on the IATLIS list to send a mail to that list members, our ideas about i) Standardization of a Two year MLIS, scrapping BLIS, and introduction of a short course of Certificate in LIS ii) Make Language and communication a VERY STRONG focus in the MLIS course iii) Focus on Marketing Information Services iv) Improve Management and Technology based subjects v) Introduce an element on ethics, copyright and legal issues v) Make a compulsory element of a Summer Training (or whichever months are best). This training should be something, where students do a serious project, which has good impact for the Institution (Eg - developing an area of the library website). They should not be given only those jobs that normally get sidelined in a library. I am aware that some libraries take students for internship projects, and give them only shelving and clerical work. Such jobs could be given to certificate students. The objective is to have a one year plan and have the right course, with the right syllabus, WITH a plan for some upgrade every year. We need to bring IT and Management people to be involved. b) Admission to the above "new" MLIS course. We need to plan to get professional entrance tests created. And to market the course by - Proper ads in the papers - Talking to career counsellors to talk / write about the course - Any other innovative methods - even talking to Degree students about the course - Market it to other subject teachers - eg degree course teachers, so that they may recommend this course to students c) Interaction with the Industry.

Search presents - Jib Jab's 'Second Term' Dear professionals, Vasu (as we in Mumbai know her)�has so�precisely pointed out areas for�revamping�in the education being imparted to LIS students. I wish to share with you my perceptions on a major area of learning in LIS, namely MARC. While we have a course work on it in library schools, how many of us have actually been inducted�into the training of cataloging using�MARC (school or after words). Not that�it hinders our�work, but with the divergent plethora of libraries we work in, I am sure a very basic training would have gone a long way.�No wonder we have no Labs from LIS departments specifically on say Metadata or Digital Preservation (I may please be corrected).� � Sometime back, I�heard this at�a lecture and�also from major players (ethical and knowledgable) of our field, that we in India, need to start building�our libraries from the very basic, by educating people to "read".�We are not a society where people read to gather information. People do not "use" libraries because they do not know what to read either.� � I feel we need to work towards : � 1.�Project work for school students, such that�it includes the usage of libraries. We need ��people representing us, to make effective statements with major bodies like the UGC, �� NCERT, etc, etc. Same goes the case with our IT policy. � 2. Our personal appearence makes the first impression on people, for we talk later. Likewise, ��how effective will a "Hi-Tech Library"�be, with dusty, cramped, and dark shelves? We Indians ��support�supperior technical�jargon, nothing less. For eg., if we convey people that a �� conference on�libraries is being organized, no body would probably even listen out, but, �� if we were to�modify and say a conference on "information management and digitial libraries" �� is being�organized, they would�be more than awed. The way our national�newspapers �� cover�any course work, or conference with the above mentioned terminology is proof to that. �� Maybe, we need to cash on the trend since we are already at such sinking depths, for that� �� is what works here !� � 2. More International exposure of professionals�in libraries�of the�schools, colleges, museums. �� We need�activities�for creating libraries and introducing reading programs, just like they are �� doing it in Africa. Please check,� http://worldlibraries.org/itw/itwoverview.shtml worldlibraries.org/itw/itwoverview.shtml , to get an idea of�� what�I am stating. � 3.�Working in correlation with�major international associations, not only�for conferences and� �� conferring 'yet another' international award, but also, for training courses and workshops in�� India.�We do not�need technically loaded concepts for basics, but very�fundamental skills to �� strive. It is not�difficult to�understand and implement�new technology, until�we learn to put �� forth our�requirements to our respective managements, which can happen only when we �� prove our�efficiency.�� 4.�Somedays back, we saw a message posted about a new certificate course at UIUC �� available�also via their LEEP program (distance education). We need our library schools to �� partner�with major schools from all over the world, so that we can do something�similar in �� our�country. � The list is long and as it comes to mind I might just keep jotting down, but I hope this is enough for a weekend (an early one this time :-)). � I have seen people from most fields who choose�to remain�mediocres the rest of their lives. And I am talking to you about CAs, doctors, engineers, scientists who just do not excell, after all remember it is not our profession which runs (ruins) this country, but our bureaucrats and technocrats. Excellence in all fields are exceptions, but having a high morale about our profession and ourselves is not. � Thanks for hearing me out, � Cheers, � Smita Chandra Librarian Indian Institute of Geomagnetism New Mumbai Vasumathi Sriganesh <vasu(a)qmedin.com> wrote: I think N. Sreeharsha has hit the nail on the head. � "...............Okay, now who is going to tie the bell on the cat's tail"? � � a). I am not on the IATLIS list, since I am not a teacher in LIS. I request those who are on the IATLIS list to send a mail to that list members, our ideas about � i) Standardization of a�Two year MLIS, scrapping BLIS, and introduction of a short course of Certificate in LIS ii) Make Language and communication a VERY STRONG focus in the MLIS course iii) Focus on Marketing Information Services iv) Improve Management and Technology based subjects v) Introduce�an element�on ethics, copyright and legal issues v) Make a compulsory element of a Summer Training (or whichever months are best). This training should be something, where students do a serious project, which has�good impact for the Institution (Eg - developing an area of the library website). They should not be given only those jobs that normally get sidelined in a library. I am aware that some libraries take students for internship projects, and give them only shelving and clerical work. Such jobs could be given to certificate students. � The objective is to have a one year plan and have the right course, with the right syllabus,�WITH a plan for some�upgrade every year. We need to bring IT and Management people to be involved. � b) Admission to the above "new" MLIS course. We need to plan to get professional entrance tests created. And to market the course by - Proper ads in the papers - Talking to career counsellors to talk / write about the course - Any other innovative methods - even talking to Degree students about the course - Market it to other subject teachers - eg degree course teachers, so that they may recommend this course to students � � c) Interaction with the Industry. This should be done with an objective of having jobs ready for the first batch of students. The course and calibre of students should be marketed to the industry, by telling them that by employing people with such training, their organization would have� xyz benefits. � d) In terms of UGC and funding and implementing such changes, I think the best thing to do, is to have a group of us making a�proper plan�and asking for an appointment with the President of India.

LC partnerships provide education resources in cataloging (fwd)
by Shyam Prasad pujar 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2005 16:02:54 -0500 From: John D Byrum <jbyr(a)loc.gov> To: ifla-l(a)infoserv.inist.fr, AUTOCAT(a)listserv.BUFFALO.EDU Subject: [IFLA-L] LC partnerships provide education resources in cataloging LIBRARY OF CONGRESS PARTNERSHIPS PROVIDE EDUCATION RESOURCES IN CATALOGING The Library of Congress has launched a Web-based learning center to promote core competency curriculum development for 21st century cataloging practitioners. The Cataloger's Learning Workshop (www.loc.gov/catworkshop/) is a cataloging and metadata training resource portal that features a discussion group, links to cataloging training providers and publishers, online training courses and suggested readings in bibliographic control. The Cataloger's Learning Workshop is hosted by the Cataloging Distribution Service (CDS) of the Library of Congress. "The Cataloger's Learning Workshop site provides one-stop access to a growing body of authoritative cataloging education resources," said Kathryn Mendenhall, chief of CDS. "Cataloging practitioners as well as training providers will benefit from the easy access to information about these new courses." The Cataloger's Learning Workshop grew out of an effort that began at the 2000 Library of Congress conference "Bibliographic Control for the New Millennium." Conferees produced an action plan with several ambitious goals, such as providing appropriate training and education to improve bibliographic control of Web resources. A number of groups have been working with the Library of Congress to bring the Cataloger's Learning Workshop to reality, including the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) - a division of the American Library Association (ALA) - and the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC). "Collaborating with the Library of Congress on this project enables ALCTS to better support the educational needs of its membership and the library community as a whole," said Charles Wilt, executive director of ALCTS. "These courses will provide up-to-date information to practicing professionals and others at both the local and regional level." A number of workshops and curricula are being developed to address Web bibliographic control training and continuing education. Training materials distribution is handled by CDS, while workshop organization and support logistics are managed through ALCTS and other organizations. As a result of this cooperative effort, Library, PCC and ALCTS officials expect that there will be more library practitioners who are better prepared to provide access to Web and other new library materials. The customer and member focus of these organizations ensures that high quality training will be provided at reasonable cost. The Cataloging Distribution Service of the Library of Congress has provided publications and services to the international cataloging community on a cost-recovery basis for more than 100 years. The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services, a division of the American Library Association, is the national association for information providers who work in collections, preservation and technical services. ALCTS' interests include acquisition, cataloging, collection development and preservation of all library materials in all formats. Additional information about ALCTS' continuing education is available at www.ala.org/ala/alcts/ under "continuing education." The Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) is an international cooperative effort aimed at expanding access to library collections by providing useful, timely, and cost-effective cataloging that meets mutually accepted standards of libraries around the world. Additional information about PCC is available at www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/.

Library science gets some spotlight, needs more
by Sreeharsha_Gopalakrishna＠i2.com 18 Jan '05

18 Jan '05

Library science gets some spotlight, needs more http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=114167# Chandigarh, January 15: It is a science all right, but a neglected one. Also, its potential is always understated. At the Satkal Annual Function 2004 held at the Government Museum and Art Gallery in collaboration with the British Library today, a discussion and lecture on library and information services in India turned out to be quite interesting. The post-Ranganathan (the name comes from the pioneer in library science) period is pretty dismal and no concrete steps are being taken in this field. With private/foreign libraries roping in most of the people as members, and a small country like Singapore coming up with the world’s best library set-up, there is still a lot to work on. The lecture: The former head of the Library & Information Services, British Council, P. Jayarajan, spoke on the ‘Glorious past, Stagnant Present, Uncertain Future’ of the library world. ‘‘The public library system is in a shambles. There is lack of resources, support, skill and consolidation. What we need is vision, a SWOT analysis to face the challenges of today,’’ he said. ‘‘To get the libraries out of the namesake category, we have to attract their users, especially non-users,’’ he added. Speaking of he emphasised the need for information professionals, upgrading skills, public relations and managerial know-how. Services, infrastructure, skills and partnership are the need of the hour, he said Awardees 2004: Each has made a vital contribution to the field of library science. Here’s a lowdown on their activities: Recipient of the Punjab National Librarian Award, Dr E. Rama Reddy: The University Librarian for Indira Gandhi Memorial Library, University of Hyderabad, Dr Reddy is an expert in managerial aspects of the subject and has been associated with the compilation of topical biographies. He has a vision: India as an informative society. Recipient of Young Librarian Award, M.G. Sreekumar: Librarian at the IIMK, his computerised brain and a digital vision has turned IIMK into a vibrant digital information system. He has conducted trainings on e-Publishing, digital libraries and medical informatics. He has also created an e-learning platform for doctors and the medical fraternity in India. Recipient of Woman Librarian Award, Veena Chawla: Library Director, American Resource Information Centre, Delhi, she has been awarded for outstanding performance, exhibiting a high level of professionalism and dedication, especially at the international level. Meanwhile, due to almost no response to the Ranganathan Quiz, two participants, Richa Gupta and Anil Siwach, were presented mementoes. The feedback: It is a pity that libraries in Indian universities are not getting the weight that is due to them: Prof G.S. Randhawa, former V-C of GNDU ‘‘Having a digitalised library won’t work in a country like India where there are frequent power shutdowns. In schools, there are time constraints, so traditional libraries are better,’’ say librarians of various schools **************************************** Sreeharsha BG Knowledge Management Group i2 Technologies software Pvt.

Best librarian award for Veena, Sreekumar : Tribune News Service
by JK Vijayakumar 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

Full Story available at http://www.tribuneindia.com/2005/20050116/cth1.htm#12 Best librarian award for Veena, Sreekumar Tribune News Service Chandigarh, January 15 The board of trustees of Satinder Kaur Ramdev Memorial Trust for Advancement of Librarianship (SATKAL) and the British Library today gave away the best librarian awards in three categories. The awards were presented at a special function organised at Government Museum Auditorium, Sector 10. Prof G.S. Randhawa, former Vice-Chancellor, Guru Nanak Dev University, inaugurated the function and gave away the awards. While Veena Chawla, Director, American Information Centre, New Delhi, bagged the SATKAL Woman Librarian Award for this year, the Young Librarian Award went to the versatile M.G. Sreekumar, currently Librarian and Head, Development of Digital Libraries at the Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode. A mathematics graduate from the University of Kerala, Sreekumar pursued his Bachelors in Library and Information Science from the University of Kerala. The recipient of Fulbright award in 1996, Sreekumar went to study at the University of Maryland at College Park and at the National Library of Medicine, USA. A vibrant professional, Sreekumar has been instrumental in the creation of a sound digital system at IIMK, Kozhikode. He now leads several national level research projects in library and information science, and information technology areas. Recently Sreekumar has successfully created an E-learning platform for doctors and the medical fraternity in India, funded by the WHO office in New Delhi. The National Librarian award was presented to Dr E Rama Reddy, Founder Librarian of the Indira Gandhi Memorial Library, University of Hyderabad, who has to his credit several best librarian awards. He is also considered among the best library automation experts in India. Well attended and organised, the function saw valuable suggestions from experts in the field of library sciences. The vote of thanks was extended by Mr Sushant Banerjee, Organising Secretary, SATKAL. -------------------------- Another Full story available at http://www.tribuneindia.com/2005/20050116/cth1.htm#11 Future of library science not bright Aditi Tandon Tribune News Service, Chandigarh, January 15 If statistics are to be believed, the future of library and information science does not appear to be very bright in India. Rough estimates suggest that out of 1,000 libraries, not more than 10 were fully automated in this age of technology. And worse, of the 30,000 librarians that come out of the plethora of library schools in India, few are trained well enough to be recruited without being sent for a re-training. This and much more plagues the discipline which has evolved in other parts of the world. While Singapore leads the world in public library system which is just a decade old, UK spends exorbitantly in reviewing the functioning of its National Library which fetches it a huge revenue. In a recently commissioned review of the National Library, UK, independent consultants reported that against every pound that the British Government spent on the National Library, the library gave it back 4.4 times more money! In India, however, the libraries are low on priority when resource allocation is decided. The reasons, experts attending the annual function of SATKAL (Satinder Kaur Ramdev Memorial Trust for Advancement of Librarianship) and The British Library, Chandigarh, held at Government Museum auditorium today, say are many. �The most significant is failure to catch up with the most basic of systems, including the public library system. The state of public libraries is sorry, even the librarians which our universities produce know very little about high quality services. Our courses are outdated, our consolidation of technology poor,� said Mr P. Jayarajan, eminent librarian and former Head, Library and Information Services, British Council India who was present at the function which also witnessed a panel discussion on the required changes in library science syllabi. Among the panelists were Prof H.R, Chopra, Head, Library Science Department, PU, Mr A.R. Sethi, Head Librarian, PU Library. K.C. Ramola, Librarian, Centre-State Library and Ms Devinder Kaur, Librarian, Punjabi University, Patiala. Dissecting the scenario of library and information services in India, Mr Jayarajan, who is now working on retrospective conversion and library automation at prestigious libraries like the Nehru Memorial Library, said, �We have been wasting time. In the 1980s we talked about library automation but not more than 10 Indian libraries are automated; in the1990s we talked about library networks, but I cannot list a single credible network expect DELNET; now are talking about digital libraries but that is not the answer. We must become user friendly by offering high quality services. We must also target non users. Traditional methods are fine but computers have to come in, whether or not public libraries like it�. Another challenge, the expert said, was from new age media like TV, Internet, choices of news channels, upmarket book shops, distribution centres that bring you any book you want. �In such a scenario, we need to change our curriculum, impart library skills to ensure that we churn out fine talent and not mass graduates,� he said adding that the profile of a librarian must be improved by honouring the profession in the first place. President Abdul Kalam a great library user --------------------------------- Eminent librarian Mr P. Jayarajan took the occasion to tell the audience about President Abdul Kalam�s love for libraries. He recalled, �When the President was working at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre in Thiruvananthapuram, he was a frequent library user. So much so that he would not leave the library even after everyone had gone. The library management had to give him a duplicate key for easy access�. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Fellow Professionals Our profession has contributed tremendously to almost every educational endeavour. However, our school libraries have not recieved the treatment that they deserved. Our union govt. is launching various mass education programmes like Sarva Shikhsha Abhiyan/ Rashtriya Saksharta Mission/ TLC etc. However, least consideration is given to the libraries in institutions who carry forward these programmes. I request all of you to advocate a programme for libraries which i suggest should be named Sarva Pustakalia Abhiyan. Hope you all start you efforts from today onwards.

Hi everybody, Sorry for the cross-posting My name is Carlos Vilchez-Roman, head of the Automation Office of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) Library university, located in Lima, Peru. I am writing you for the following: the next month Ill be giving a training course called UNIX for librarians. I think this course will be very helpful because our ILS is running on a UNIX Tru64 box. Sadly theres no material available in Spanish about this topic. I have only found a book titled UNIX and libraries and an article published in Computers in Libraries, 16 (10), 34-36. In Amazon.com the book is out of print (I only work with Amazon. They give me a guarantee). For that reason Id ask you if you know a website (or PDF files) where I can get documentarion about training courses on UNIX and librarians. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

ELPUB Digital Library: Free Access to Elpub conference papers
by Gerry Mckiernan 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

Colleagues/ I have discovered that Bob Martens of Vienna University Of Technology has created a database that provides access to all of the conference papers presented at the ELPUB [Electronic Publishing] conferences dating from 1997, the year of the first ELPUB Conference. ELPUB Digital Library is available at [ http://elpub.scix.net/cgi-bin/works/Home ] There are a variety of search and browse options that provide FREE access to the Full Text of included papers! "The use is free of charge. Access to advanced features (article upload, creation of collections, discussion forums, ratings, reviews, etc.) is subject to **user registration** and login. [ http://elpub.scix.net/cgi-bin/users/Add ] IMHO, many of the papers presented at previous ELPUB conferences have consistently reported cutting/bleeding edge developments in all areas of Electronic Publishing and are well worth the read. As of today, nearly 300 papers are available! BTW: The 2005 ELPUB will be held June 8-10, 2005 and will be hosted by the Research Group on Document Architectures (DocArch) of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Catholic University of Leuven). The conference will take place at the Arenberg Castle, a beautiful 16th-Century castle situated in an impressively green scenery in Heverlee near the city of Leuven. [ http://www.elpub.net/page.php?edi_id=317 ] The list of suggested topics for the 2005 conference is quite wide ranging [ http://www.elpub.net/page.php?edi_id=314 ] Thanks Bob for this Very Important Service !!!

Some good Websites and News Items
by Madhuresh 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

IOSN (http://www.iosn.net/) The International Open Source Network (IOSN) is a Center of Excellence for FOSS in the Asia-Pacific Region. It shapes its activities around Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) technologies and applications. Via a small secretariat, the IOSN is tasked specifically to facilitate and network FOSS advocates and human resources in the region. The vision is that developing countries in the Asia-Pacific Region can achieve rapid and sustained economic and social development by using affordable yet effective FOSS ICT solutions to bridge the digital divide. IOSN is an initiative of the Asia-Pacific Information Development Programme (APDIP), which has been supporting the strategic and effective use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) for poverty alleviation and sustainable human development in the Asia-Pacific region since 1997. The site offers FOSS resources categorized by the country, News items, Events, Organizations and other articles. The site also gives the details of localization effort like developing/developed s/w in various Indian languages, Training Materials, Documentation, Tutorials, FOSS in Education, FOSS and Government etc. FreshPatents (http://www.freshpatents.com/) A good website for tracking new patents and technologies. It gives the latest published US patent applications each week BEFORE the USPTO decision to grant/deny. One can register with it freely to monitor any keyword and when it finds any match, it will send an email. One can also search and browse by Location (currently it shows 355 applications from India); Industry; Inventors (Inventors directory); and Agents (Patent Agents & Law Firms Directory) and allows search in Title/Abstract. ************************************************************************ ******************************************** PCtvt to bridge the digital divide R RAVICHANDRAN Hyderabad, Jan 4: If all goes well, soon India will find the deployment of the most-talked-about PCtvt, the low-cost one-in-all multi-function information appliance with the potential to function as a TV, PC, video phone, IP phone and multimedia, in villages across the country soon. Expected to bridge the digital divide and to educate the economically and educationally weaker sections in the country - particularly those in the villages - the PCtvt, being developed by the Carnegie Mellon University in collaboration with International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) of Hyderabad and Indian Institute of Science (IISc) of Bangalore, will provide an affordable technology to empower the rural folk by giving more importance to voice, video communication than reading and writing. Speaking to FE here, Praveen Garimella, director of the PCtvt project in India and part of the Carnegie Mellon University team working on this project said: "The PCtvt is a new device to bridge the digital divide for those economically weaker classes with easy affordability to communicate through audio and video." Eminent robotics expert Professor Raj Reddy of the Carnegie Mellon University was instrumental in the project. Expected to carry a low price tag of $250 when commercially launched across the globe, PCtvt has been designed in a special way by equipping it with multi-lingual applications, communication and entertainment, video/IP phone systems, web camera and all entertainment applications like cable channels viewing, personal video recorder, talking newspaper, etc to enable the poor masses to enjoy and communicate with the rest of world, Mr Garimella said further. "With functions like remote TV system, speech recognition, keyboard, mouse, cell phone, web camera and all iconic interfaces, an illiterate can learn and understand things fast with voice-mail and video help if not through email and text-based help," the official said adding it has a radically simple design with one minute training time, double-click model and three modes of communication - video, audio and text in both synchronous and asynchronous modes. Based on a study, it was found that for most people in a village, entertainment and communication are of greater importance than PC functionality. "Poverty and illiteracy are no longer a barrier in using and benefiting from technology and the PCtvt is the simplified and easy appliance to help bridge the digital divide," Mr Garimella pointed out. With the multi-lingual applications and software, a villager can communicate and enjoy the entertainment in different languages of their choice. "Currently, the appliance has been designed to use in four Indian languages - Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi - and will add other languages once the product is commercially launched," he said. http://www.financialexpress.com/fe_full_story.php?content_id=78816 ************************************************************************ ******************************************* SAARC to set up traditional knowledge digital library New Delhi, Jan 3 The member-countries of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) have decided to set up a traditional knowledge digital library (TKDL) with a view to protect the region from any possible acts of biopiracy and misappropriation of traditional knowledge in the near future. A model legal framework has been drafted and circulated to member-countries for framing notional legislation recognising TKDL. Speaking to FE, director of Saarc Documentation Centre (SDC) Dr VK Gupta said, "The TKDL database will be provided to patent offices across the globe under non-disclosure agreement. This will help them to examine the case before granting patent rights on any subject pertaining to traditional knowledge. Even if they, by mistake, grant patent rights over any aspect of traditional knowledge which is already documented and given to them, this can be challenged without payment of any fees and the concerned patent office will be under obligations to revoke the wrongly granted patent rights. Otherwise the cost of challenging a single patent right in patent offices in the US and Europe equals to the total investment required for setting up of a TKDL." India is the only country in the world to set up a TKDL and we are urging all countries in the South Asia to set up a common TKDL for the region, he said. Mr Gupta said India needs to enact appropriate legislation to protect traditional knowledge from infringement. "So far we have Biological Diversity Act to protect bio recourses. But there are other aspects of traditional knowledge like traditional medicines, foods, farm practices, architecture and construction, tribal knowledge and traditional expressions like handicrafts, handloom, folk music, museum which need similar protection through law," he said. The TKDL set up in India has already documented the public domain knowledge on Ayurveda (36,000 slokas) in a digitised format and the information is available in English, Spanish, German, French and Japanese. It has a traditional knowledge resource classification system based on the international patent classification. It provides information classified under sections, classes, sub-classes, groups and sub-groups and has expanded one IPC group related to medicinal plants to about 5000 sub-groups. The cost involved in documenting Ayurveda slokas was Rs 1.25 crore. The decision to set up a Saarc TKDL was taken at a two-day workshop convened by jointly SDC, National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources (NISCAIR) last week in Delhi, said Dr Gupta. The Saarc TKDL will also have an innovative uniform structured traditional knowledge resource classification (TKRC) for systematic arrangement, dissemination and retrieval which may be TK independent of region or country. The framework will encompass various aspects of traditional knowledge including materials used for treatment like plants, animal products, minerals, their generic or specific method of preparations or designs, their dosage, mode and time of administration, therapeutic action or indication or application of traditional knowledge. With respect to components of biodiversity digital library (CBDL), TKDL will be created using the taxonomic hierarchical structure of Whittaker's five kingdom classification, namely, Monera, Protoctista, Fungi, Animalia and Plantae and modern phylogenetic classification system. http://www.financialexpress.com/fe_full_story.php?content_id=78706 Madhuresh Singhal Aurigene Discovery Technologies Limited, Electronic City, phase II, Hosur Road, Bangalore 560100 Phone 28521314-16 Ext.- 422 Mobile 98861 82822 E-mail: madhureshsinghal(a)yahoo.com http://nettalk2.tripod.com/

(Fwd) Mantex Newsletter - January 2005
by Prafulla Chandra 05 Jan '05

05 Jan '05

Here's is an interesting newsletter from The British Library. Perhaps, you may wish to subscribe. ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date sent: Wed, 5 Jan 2005 13:44:42 GMT To: prafulla(a)nisc.co.in Subject: Mantex Newsletter - January 2005 Send reply to: news(a)mantex.co.uk From: news(a)mantex.co.uk -------- MANTEX NEWSLETTER -------- Number 100 - January 2005 - ISSN 1470-1863 Happy New Year to all our Subscribers!! Anniversary issue - 100 and going strong Spelling - Research - Software - Design 0----- "Oxford A-Z of Spelling" - new book You'd imagine it was hard to make a book on spelling interesting, but Oxford University Press have done it. This is a beginner's guide to the rules and the exceptions of spelling in English. It covers all the basics without once going into any jargon or elaborate rules which would put off the very people the book is aimed at. Highly recommended for beginners - and I think it would be very useful to anybody using English as another language. Full review and details at - http://www.mantex.co.uk/reviews/oxf-azspel.htm 0----- Pub Quiz - Question #1 Which ingredient turns curry yellow? 0----- Weird Facts #1 No piece of square dry paper can be folded in half more than 7 times. [Go on - try it! - Bet you can't.] 0----- "How to Find Information" - new book Did you know that even though Google has four billion web pages in its database, the Internet contains only a small fraction of the world's total information. This is a guide for anyone who wants to develop really serious research skills. Naturally it tells you how to search on the Web, but it's built on a solid foundation of library research and data retrieval skills. There is even advice on how to identify your own information needs, how to interpret your search results, and how to keep up with the latest trends. Full review at - http://www.mantex.co.uk/reviews/rumsey.htm 0----- Pub Quiz - Question #2 Who invented the aqualung? 0----- Weird Facts #2 French was the official language of England for over 600 years. [C'est vrai!] 0----- "OpenOffice.org Writer" - new book OpenOffice is the f.r.e.e software which is an alternative to the very expensive Microsoft Office. Writer is the word-processor in this suite, and a direct rival to Word. There's a new book from Jean Hollis Weber which is the 'missing manual' for Writer - and most importantly it comes with a CD-ROM which contains the whole of the OpenOffice suite. The book explains all the features and menu options of the Writer program - and in particular where it differs from Word. If you want to make a switch into using open source software, this would be an excellent place to start. Most importantly, having the OpenOffice suite on CD saves you a 50MB+ download. details at - http://www.mantex.co.uk/reviews/weber.htm 0----- Pub Quiz - Question #3 If it's heavy in Scotland, what is it in England? 0----- Weird Facts #3 The penguin is the only bird that can swim, but can't fly. 0----- "CSS Cookbook" - new book This is a book of solutions to common problems in using cascading style sheets. It starts as a beginner's guide and then goes on to more advanced features. First a problem is specified (You want to indent the first line of a paragraph) and then it shows the CSS code to achieve this, followed by an illustrative screen shot. There's an explanation of how and why it works as it does, and there are web links to online tutorials and official specifications directly related to that topic. Full review at - http://www.mantex.co.uk/reviews/schmitt.htm 0----- Pub Quiz - Question #4 What is a shooting star? 0----- Weird Facts #4 Humphrey Bogart was related to Princess Diana. [Here's looking at you, kid.] 0----- "Dictionary of Modern Design" - new book Design buffs will be interested in a huge new work of reference from Oxford University Press. Actually, it's closer to an encyclopedia than a dictionary - because each entry is like a short essay. It covers a vast range of topics - from individual designers, painters, and architects, through artistic movements and fashions, to famous products. Full review at - http://www.mantex.co.uk/reviews/woodham.htm 0----- Pub Quiz - Question #5 What is the world's longest river? 0----- Weird Facts #5 A housefly regurgitates its food after eating, and then eats it again. [The fly is a bit like a cow then?] 0----- Online Democratic Dictionaries British publisher Collins has launched an online dictionary that will enable Internet users to debate new words. Users can suggest new words and argue over whether they should be added to the print version of the dictionary. You can log on to and suggest a new word, then wait for positive or negative feedback from other dictionary fans. Words submitted thus far, 'Arab street', 'contrasexual', 'cyberathletics, 'Ingerland', 'manny' and 'podcasting' are likely to be included in the next printed version. http://www.collins.co.uk/wordexchange There's also an online Wikipedia encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia You could also try the FreeDictionary.com at http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ 0----- Pub Quiz - Question #6 On what date was Jesus Christ conceived? 0----- Weird Facts #6 W is the only letter in the English alphabet to have not one but three syllables. 0----- F.r.e.e Web Design Tutorials Rachna Asirvatham writes from Bangalore India to announce her company's f.r.e.e design tutorials. And very stylish they are too. Tips and tricks for Dreamweaver and Fireworks; how to deal with style sheets; clever use of tables; special effects in Flash; and lots of sensible advice, all delivered in a visually attractive manner. http://www.entheosweb.com/website_design/default.asp 0----- Pub Quiz - Question #7 What's the common name for iron oxide? 0----- Weird Facts #7 The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. [Lhooq again if you don't believe me.] 0----- "Windows XP Power Hound" - new book XP is now the world's most popular operating system - and thank goodness it's more stable than its predecessors. But did you know that it contains lots and lots of hidden tools, utilities, and settings? It's possible to customise the desktop; you can add bells and whistles to just about any of its functions; and there are powerful software programs just below the surface of the comic-book interface. All of these are explained in Preston Gralla's guidance handbook from O'Reilly's 'Missing Manual' series. If you are an XP user but would like to see what more it can do for you in terms of power and efficiency, have a look at his recommendations.

It's written in spoof inflated eighteenth-century manner and purports to be written by someone who is living in a cupboard at his local cybercafe, after being evicted from home by his wife. The nation is ruled by Queen Dowdi, who has a son the Heir Apparent Prinz Yusslez. He is in love with his favourite horse, Kamella. Albia is governed by Prime Minister Kiznya Schlopp, head of the Krep Proti. His Home Secretary Fanatik Loon was recently in hot water after siring children with his no-longer-Thai-bride-to-be, Yu Fam Ism. Start with the Albia gazeteer and factbook, then work your way up through the archives. It's great fun. http://albia.blogspot.com He is due to change this address at some point, so if it doesn't work, try the following: http://www.messagefromalbia.com 0----- Pub Quiz - Question #9 What is the capital of Nepal? 0----- Weird Facts #9 The Hawaiian alphabet has only 12 letters.

[Yes - it's named after the book.] 0----- Feedback + Corrections ** That Amazon search facility ** Martin Hampton writes from Portsmouth to say "Guys - was that a porky pie about Amazon in the last newsletter? Damned if I can make it 'look inside' books. Sorry Martin! We forgot to mention that so far it only works at Amazon.com [For non-UK readers, porky pies = lies.] ** English Grammar - again ** Damian Grant wrote from Lille to suggest that the one of our reviews contained a grammatical error. Here's the sentence: "Are you one of those people who wonder where the apostrophe should go?" Andrew Wyllie replies from Bristol "No: it is clear that the verb here has to agree with 'people' not with 'one', so 'wonder' is correct." But Andrew goes on to reveal another problem: "Before Mantex indulges in a collective hug of self-satisfaction, however... David Mamet's surname is spelt with two m's not three." Ooops! ** "Handwritten" - new book ** The link to Stephen Heller's new book on hand-produced fonts got mangled in the last issue.
