Customize Your Boot Loader
by Dp Tripathi 10 Dec '16

10 Dec '16

In dual booting, when we finish the installation, we find that the default option in boot loader to start the system is Ubuntu and Windows appears as last option in sequence. And to start the Windows, we need to choose the Windows by down arrow key on Keyboard and if we don’t choose, Ubuntu will automatically start. If you wish to change the boot loader sequence which can start your desired option first in sequence, then GRUB Customizer is the best option. Only, you need to install GRUB Customizer first then run it to change the option. With Grub Customizer, you can easily: - add, remove, edit, rearrange Grub menu entries. - Change default entry, visibility, timeout, kernel parameters. - Change the resolution, background image, edit the font and color, etc. - Reinstall Grub into MBR, so to load Ubuntu from Windows boot-loader *Install Grub Customizer via PPA:* To install it, from the steps below: *1. **Open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and login with root privilege* sudo su (press enter) (Enter the password. Password will not be visible while typing so be careful.) *2. **Now run the following command to add the PPA:* sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer *3. **Update the Package with this command* sudo apt-get update *4. **Now, Install the Grub Customizer* sudo apt-get install grub-customizer When the Installation is over, find the Grub Customizer and change the sequence. Save it and enjoy!!! http://www.dptripathi.in/2016/12/10/customize-your-boot-loader/ -- DP Tripathi NIT Rourkela -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

by Dr. Muzamil Mushtaq 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

*Call for Papers for the International Conference on “Knowledge Generation, Discovery and Networking” (KGDAN - 2017) from 03 – 04 February, 2017 * *Organized by:* *Department of Library and Information Science* *Aligarh Muslim University* *Under the UGC-Special Assistance Programme (SAP DRS-I) * KGDAN-2017 welcomes submissions of research and scientific papers, case studies, working papers, etc. related to all aspects of Knowledge Generation, Discovery and networking particularly based on the themes and sub themes of the conference. The paper submitted should have been neither published anywhere nor kept under consideration for publication in any form. All papers will go through a review process and only accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings/Edited Book. The papers should be submitted in soft form as an email attachment to: *kgdan.dlis(a)gmail.com <kgdan.dlis(a)gmail.com>* *About Aligarh Muslim University* Having established in 1920, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is recognized as one of the oldest and premier central government funded universities in India and has been designated as an Institution of National importance (Seventh Schedule, Article 246 of the Indian Constitution). It has recently been awarded grade ‘A’ by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). Historically, the University was evolved out of the Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College (MAO College), which was set up by the great visionary and social reformer, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan in 1877. From its very inception, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) draws students from all corners of the country as well as foreign countries, especially Africa, West Asia and Southeast Asia, irrespective of religion, caste and creed. Today, the University occupies a unique position amongst all the universities and institutions of higher learning in the country. The University has been ranked among the best educational institutions in India. According to Times Higher Education Asia Ranking 2014, AMU was ranked 3rd among all Universities in India. It Ranked 50th among top 100 institutions of higher learning in BRICS grouping-2014 and 5th in The Week-Hansa Research (Best Universities Survey) 2014. Recently, the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has been ranked 2nd Best University of India as per new ranking released by the U.S. News & World Report on their list of overall best global universities rankings. *About the Department* The foundation of the Department of Library Science was laid way back in 1950-51 with the introduction of a ‘Certificate Course in Library Science’, by the then University Librarian, (Late) Padmashree Prof. S. Bashiruddin, who later on introduced a one year ‘Bachelor of Library Science’ course in 1958-59 with full time Lecturers for the first time in the country. Subsequently, ‘Master of Library Science’ was introduced in 1970-71 and Ph.D in 1990-91. The Department had taken a pioneering step by introducing Library Science as a subsidiary subject for the students of B.A. since 1986-87. The nomenclature of the Department as well as of the titles of the various courses offered along with their contents had been revising to incorporate changing dimensions of the subject. A special feature of the revised syllabi is the emphasis on Information Technology and hands-on training on a number of commercial and open source library automation software packages. A well-equipped computer lab consisting of about 25 systems, a server and LCD projectors etc., supports the revised syllabi with round the clock Internet facility. The seminar library of the department was automated as the first fully automated library of the university in 2004. The faculty with full capacity of nine members have not only widely travelled in India and abroad, but have also substantially contributed in national and international peer reviewed journals and conference proceedings. Some of the books from the department have been published by McGraw Hill and Elsevier Publishers, while the ‘COLLNET Journal of Scientometrics and Information Management’ with Prof. Shabahat Husain as its founder Editor, is being co-published by Taylor and Francis, U.K. Presently, the department is headed by Prof. Shabahat Husain, who has been recently elected as the President of Indian Library Association. The department has had the distinction of completing a number of DST and UGC major research projects by designing and developing L.I.S. Subject Gateway (*www.lisgateway.com <http://www.lisgateway.com>*), I.T. Subject Gateway (*http://www.itsubjectgateway.info/ <http://www.itsubjectgateway.info/>*) and E-Learning portal (*http://lislearning.in/ <http://lislearning.in/>*). As a Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences, Prof. Shabahat Husain developed ‘Social Science Cyber Library’ (*www.socsccybraryamu.ac.in <http://www.socsccybraryamu.ac.in>*), inaugurated by His Excellency Shri Pranab Mukherjee on 27-12-2013 as a part of inaugural programme of XXXVII Social Science Congress held from 27th to 31st December 2013. The Social Science Cyber Library which is first of its kind in the whole world is being accessed in 143 countries so far. It has been awarded ISO 9001:2008 in 2015 and has recently entered in the Limca Book of Records. Under the UGC’s Programme, the Department was awarded Special Assistance Programme SAP (DRS-I) in the financial year 2013-2014 for five years. The theme of the project is Knowledge Management in Libraries with Prof. Shabahat Husain as its Coordinator and Prof. Naushad Ali. P.M as its Dy. Coordinator. As a byproduct of SAP, the present conference is being organised in the area of Knowledge Management, its generation, discovery and networking (KGDAN). *About the Conference* The success of an organization is increasingly dependent on its ability to generate, share and utilize knowledge. Knowledge Management (KM), with its potential to capitalize an organization’s intellectual capital, is viewed as a planned and structured approach to manage the creation, sharing, discovering and leveraging of knowledge to enhance an organization’s ability, speed and effectiveness in delivering products or services. KM represents an opportunity by entrusting new roles and responsibilities for libraries and Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals. One of the important objectives of adopting KM in libraries is to turn libraries and information centres into learning and knowledge sharing organizations by linking libraries and LIS professionals together and creating a flow of knowledge generated by LIS professionals. Thus, the ultimate aim is innovation and reuse of the knowledge. Innovation is closely linked to the generation of new knowledge or new linkages between existing knowledge, while reuse forms the basis for organizational learning through discovery and networking of knowledge. Libraries are required to generate new knowledge to find more effective ways of managing their functions and services. Knowledge is generated through research and proper utilization of existing knowledge. However, existing knowledge must easily be discovered before making use of it to generate new knowledge. Knowledge discovery is the process of discovering useful and workable knowledge. Explicit knowledge is mostly organised in the repositories and databases for preservation as well as wide access and multiple uses. Modern IT-based tools and techniques may be used to facilitate the knowledge discovery, access and retrieval process. Some important techniques like taxonomies, metadata harvesting, data warehousing, data mining, knowledge mapping and knowledge discovery services are used as KM tools in libraries for the organization and discovery of knowledge. Knowledge networking and collaboration represent a solution for extending access to tacit knowledge for more creative uses and for increased quality of the processes and services. Knowledge networking is a way of extending the access to external knowledge resources through library networks or partnerships with other libraries, including links to professional library groups and publications, etc. The conference is being organized to help libraries and information centres to improve their functions and services by managing the knowledge with the newer and modern techniques and procedures. The conference will bring together academics, researchers, library practitioners and eminent scholars across the globe in the field of KM to share their knowledge and experiences and discuss the tools and techniques of managing both tacit and explicit knowledge.
