Re: [LIS-Forum] Inauguration of Tent Library @ Mysore Dasara 2014
by Dr Francis Jayakanth 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Dear Sunil, Congratulations to the entire MyLISA team for initiating yet another unique service. The concept of 'Tent Library' for the benefit of the underprivileged is certainly a great idea and is in tune with the revolutionary cries of the first and the second laws of Library Science - 'Books are for use' and 'Books are for all'. Through its innovative programmes and initiatives, MyLISA is setting a trend to be replicated by all the other professional associations, in other parts of the country. With best wishes, - Francis Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore - 560076 -----Original Message----- From: lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in [mailto:lis-forum-bounces@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in] On Behalf Of Sunil MV Sent: Monday, September 1, 2014 3:42 PM To: lisforum Cc: MyLISA Mysore Subject: [LIS-Forum] Inauguration of Tent Library @ Mysore Dasara 2014 Dear Professional Friends, Greetings from MyLISA Mysore! Like to share the information about the inauguration of '*Tent library*’ today at Mysore Palace Premises (September 1, 2014) by Dr. V. Karikalan IFS, Deputy Conservator of Forest, Government of Karnataka. Sri H.R. Basappa, Deputy Director, Department of Public Institutions, Government of Karnataka; and Sri. Nagaraja S., President, MyLISA Mysore; were the special invitees. The programme was presided by Sri B. Manjunath, Deputy Director, Department of Public Libraries, City Central Library, Government of Karnataka. Dr. N.S. Harinarayana, Secretary, MyLISA Mysore, introduced the concept of Tent Library and presented the various sessions scheduled for 'Library Hour' of the Tent School Time Table. Dr. Mallinath Kumbar, Professor, DoS LIS, University of Mysore and Dr. Chandra Patil, Officer, Sarvar Shikshana Abhiyaan, graced the occasion. For photographs and press clips visit http://mylisamysore.weebly.com/ <http://mylisamysore.weebly.com/> *Background* “*Books for all*” is the dictum propounded by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. He wanted library books for all socioeconomic groups, not just well-educated scholars interested in public domain items. It is the responsibility of the library profession to work towards achieving this goal. MyLISA has put forward its little foot in this direction by mooting the idea of a ‘Tent Library’. Mysore Dasara is the Nadahabba (Karnataka State - Festival). One of the central attractions of the ten-day festivities is the five kilometer Jumboo Savari – the procession by the main elephant accompanied by other elephants carrying the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari, the sitting deity of Mysore. The preparation for the procession is done eight weeks before the actual procession. The elephants are brought from nearby forest and trained for the purpose. The trainers of elephants – the mahouts – come and stay at Mysore along with their families. Mysore district administration provides them all facilities to their families. Temporary school is started for their children at the premises where they reside inside the palace ground. One of the ardent librarians from Mysore observed that these children lack library facility during that period. He mooted an idea with MyLISA to think of library service to reach the unreached. Acting upon the idea, MyLISA was successful in convincing the district administration of Mysore to extend the library services through Department of Public Libraries, City Central Library, Mysore. As a result a ‘Tent Library’ was established in the premises of the palace where the mahouts reside. These library being a part of school, regular library hours will be included in the school time-table. Staffs from the City Central Library and MyLISA members visit the tent library and conduct the sessions to these students on reading skills, use of books, books handling, types of books, newspaper reading, and other study aided activities. Expertise of a few renowned school librarians are used in providing the service. A lot of book based activities have been planned. Drawing, picture books, clay modeling, bookmark preparation, painting, etc., were also the part of the session scheduled. The library will be on open access and children can use the books any time at their will. They can also take home the books on loan basis. With sincere regards, Dr. Sunil M.V.

TIPS FOR UGC-NET EXAMINATION
by Pranit Landge 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

TIPS FOR UGC-NET EXAMINATION The National Educational Testing Bureau of University Grants Commission (UGC) conducts National Eligibility Test (NET) to determine eligibility for lectureship and for award of Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) for Indian nationals in order to ensure minimum standards for the entrants in the teaching profession and research. The NET is a very useful method of short-listing the candidates from a pool of applicants. We will be looking at some tips which will help perform better if not ace it. Before looking at the tips for clearing the UGC NET, you should know the syllabus of the examination. The notion of clearing the examination seems to be hard and candidates believe that the paper is tough. On the contrary, if you think that teaching is a passion rather than a profession that pays well, chances are that you will be able to clear the paper. Let’s have a look at some tips for preparing for UGC NET: Take time If you are planning to appear for the UGC NET examination, the idea is to spend time on your preparation. It is advised you spend quality time on your preparation and also regular amounts of time. You will be required to be regular on the time that you take out for preparation. Most experts will advice you somewhere between three to six months for preparing for the test. Familiarize yourself Over the next some months you should be able to clearly know things for what they are as far as the syllabus for the test is concerned. You should channel your preparation on the topics in the syllabus and thus plan accordingly. If you start your preparation well ahead in time then there will not be any need to skip a topic. Prioritize Out of the three sections in the paper, two will be on a topic of your choice while the other is a common paper which is to test you on aptitude and general awareness. While it is necessary for you to score well in the paper from your subjects, remember that if you do not clear the first paper you will not be able to clear the NET as well. So give priority to all three and spend and plan time in preparation accordingly. Notes Although this is not the case with only this test, taking and making your own notes will take you a long way. Get into the practice of making your own notes; this will make a huge difference when you will revise. Past question papers Try and collect as many past year question papers as you possibly can. These will not only set a bar when you are preparing for the examination but will also assist you during the preparation itself. There is a possibility that you are not able to solve all the questions by yourself, so it is important that you take the help of a mentor, senior, teacher to help you with the questions. Time if of the essence You need to be able to practice a lot to be efficient. It is only when you know what question will be solved how will you be able to manage your time, efficiently. Time yourself when you are preparing for the UGC NET. By doing this you will have a fair enough idea of how things are to be done. Be accurate There is no fun in being quick if you can’t be accurate. The purpose behind being quick is that you do not miss out on anything you know. Similarly there is grave importance in being quick and accurate as well. So when you are preparing, keep in mind that while you are required to achieve your daily target and study, you are also to keep a check on how accurate your answers are. In the end keep in mind that your answers will be as confident as you are. While keeping track of reality is of the utmost importance; do not break if you are not able to clear the paper in your first attempt. It has been made difficult for a purpose.

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE DOCUMENTATION RESEARCH AND TRAINING CENTRE 8 TH MILE MYSORE ROAD, RVCE POST BANGALORE 560059 DRTC Seminar-1 (2014) Entity Search Engine :A New Search Tool ======================================== by Tanmay Mondal, MSLIS Student ABSTRACT ========== Information is everywhere. Different search engines extract different types of information from various databases when we give queries to them. It is quite often observed that when people use retrieval systems, they do not just search documents or text passages in the first place, but for some information contained inside, which is related to some entities, for instance, person, organization, location, events, time, etc. The goal is to obtain information in a structured form, that gives clear understanding of the searched entities. But it is a laborious job for us to find out specific or exact information about entities from present search engines. So, we need search engines, which will identify our queries across different domains and extract structured information about entities. Search engines like Entity Cube, Okkam Entity Name System, Sindice, wolframAlpha, etc. are the examples of entity search engines, which retrieve information about entities. In this seminar, we will discuss some of the popular entity search engines, their features and functional aspects including the state-of-the-art research problems in entity search. Date: 04.09.2014 Time: 2 PM Venue :DRTC Class Room ISI Bangalore,Karnataka.

Wellcome Trust to digitize 15 million pages of very old medical books
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

http://www.livescience.com/47292-historic-medical-books-go-online.html? 15 Million Pages of Historic Medical Books to Go Online By Megan Gannon, News Editor | August 11, 2014 The British Army's "Manual for the Medical Staff Corps" (1893) shows how a rifle could easily be made into a splint. Credit: Wellcome Trust <https://archive.org/stream/b20408213> View full size image Some 15 million yellowed pages of text and images from arcane 19th-century medical books are about to go digital. Nine British universities and research institutions are sending their collections of important texts from the history of medicine <http://www.livescience.com/13002-7-absolutely-evil-medical-experiments-tusk…>and science to the London-based Wellcome Library so that their rare books and pamphlets can be made freely available online. The digitized collection, dubbed the U.K. Medical Heritage Library, will live on the Internet Archive, which already houses digital copies of hundreds of books in the Wellcome Library that were printed between 1800 and 1900. [See Images from 19th Century Medical Texts <http://www.livescience.com/47293-photos-19th-century-medical-texts.html>] *Digital books* Over the next two years, a team from the Internet Archive will scan texts on medicine, consumer health, sport and fitness, and even outdated medical practices like phrenology <http://www.livescience.com/41444-adopt-skull-fundraiser.html>, a pseudoscience based on the idea that a person's character was reflected in the shape of his or her skull. Texts on food and nutrition will include about 1,400 cookbooks from the University of Leeds, according to the Wellcome Trust, which announced plans for the project <http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/News/Media-office/Press-releases/2014/WTP056966.h…> in partnership with the digital tech charity Jisc last month. "By working closely with the partner institutions to build the U.K. Medical Heritage Library, we are converting books into searchable data so that users can explore every aspect of 19th-century medicine and develop new insights into this period of unprecedented medical discovery," Peter Findlay, the digital portfolio manager of Jisc, said in a statement. Other institutions that are lending their books for the project include University College London, the University of Glasgow, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, King's College London, the University of Bristol, the Royal College of Physicians of London, the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Surgeons of England. *Cookbooks and stolen corpses* Curious readers and researchers can already peruse thousands of pages of 19th-century texts from the Wellcome Library online. Holly Story, the Wellcome Collection's assistant media officer, told Live Science that two of her favorites were an 1860 edition of "Gray's Anatomy" and the British War Office's "Manual for the Medical Staff Corps," published in 1893. There is also a copy of "A Poetical Cook-Book <https://archive.org/details/b20393088>," an American text by Maria J. Moss, which features poems alongside recipes for haggis, pickled tongues, and something called "calf's head surprised." The collection includes a fascinating 1824 appeal by Scottish ophthalmologist William Mackenzie to the public and legislators about the necessity of making dead bodies available to anatomy students. And if one needs to be reminded of the deadly demand for cadavers <http://www.livescience.com/28363-the-human-body-as-textbook-inside-a-gross-…> at the time, there is also a book detailing the sensational proceedings of the 1828 murder trial <https://archive.org/details/b20443924> of William Burke and his mistress, Helen McDougal, who were accused of killing several people and selling their bodies to a surgeon who needed corpses for his anatomy lectures . -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Google ends authorship experiment in search results
by Ishwar Goudar 30 Aug '14

30 Aug '14

Dear Professionals, Google has announced that it has decided to stop showing authors' names when their articles appear in search results. The authorship experiment started in 2011, aimed at providing more valuable and relevant results in Google searches. However, a Google+ post by John Meuller of Google Webmaster Tools says that the experiment did not have the desired effect. For Detailed news please visit http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/tech-news/Google-ends-authorship-ex… The 2 Reasons for Killing It: Google is a company that likes to test, tinker and take chances, remember Google Wave and Google Buzz? They also do it in ranking websites, like giving new sites a chance at the top of page 1 to see how they do. If searchers respond well to it and gives them value, they stay there. If not, they go to where Jimmy Hoffa is buried, on page 2, where no one ever finds anything.

National Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Management @ Calicut University 30-31 January 2015
by Dr. K M Haneefa 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Dear Sir / Madam, We have immense pleasure to inform you that the Department of Library and Information Science, University of Calicut in collaboration with the C.H.M.K. Library, University of Calicut and Kerala Library Association (KLA) Kozhikode Region is organizing a Two-Day National Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Management during 30-31 January 2015. Effective Knowledge Management is becoming a core competence and a key to the success of contemporary organizations. However, it is being observed that, while knowledge has been acknowledged as source of competitive advantage, it has not been managed well in organizations. The explosive growth of the Internet and the widespread use of large databases have drastically increased the volume and complexity of data to be mined, leading researchers to explore new ways to glean non-trivial data automatically. The conference will essentially focus on all contemporary issues related to Knowledge Discovery and Management. We request you to publicise this event among the professional colleagues of your University / Department/ Library with a request to contribute papers and be a part of the conference. The details of the conference with Registration Form can be accessed from the Calicut University website <http://www.universityofcalicut.info>. We look forward to your participation in the Conference. Thanking you. Yours faithfully, Dr. Mohamed Haneefa K. Assistant Professor Dept. of Library & Information Science University of Calicut, Kerala, India Phone (Office) :+91-494-2407286 Mobile No. 09895622811 E-mail ID: dr.haneefa(a)gmail.com Dept.
