by Vinod Kumar Mishra 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

Dear All, In the age of e-books and journals almost every Good and Big libraries are paying much attention on purchasing e-books and Journals. My question is with special reference to e-books that: How many libraries paying more attention to maximize the use of e-books after purchasing? What are the methods they are adopting to maximize the Use? Are they cataloging/importing all the e-books data in their OPAC purchased from different publisher and linked directly to e-books? Libraries provide better high speed Internet and computers to access the e-books? Are libraries checking the usages statistics of e-books regularly and taking some action to maximize the use in case, the use of e-books is less? Are they try to understand the cost effectiveness of e-books purchased after investing crores/lakhs of Public money? Is it advisable to stop paying AMC of e-books in case it is not of much use? Dear friends their are several things which could be in you mind regarding e-books, please share your view/problems/solution etc. here with special reference to satisfy first law of library science "BOOKS ARE FOR USE".

This would not only help them in their various investigation procedures, but also give them a support system to diagnose problems that they might have otherwise overlooked. This seminar presentation is specifically designed to represent the ontological relationship based on particular domain of brain tumour for its improved detection and as a tool for better help to the medical practitioner for their practice in the particular field.* Brain Tumour is one of the most deadly disease in India. It contributes significantly to morbidity, often affecting children and overall have a poor prognosis. Due to marketed resistance to radiation and chemotherapy, the prognosis for patients with Glioblastomas is very poor and less than 3% survive more than 3 year. This paper presents a semantic approach to develop a decision making support system to support new medicine practitioner, who are new in this field before prescribe/ recommend any treatment or therapy, he/ she would be able to understand what will be the possible treatment available and their effect on the patient. For helping new professional and clinical guideline we develop this brain tumour ontology. We present our brain tumour ontology which models the knowledge from patient�s electronic records. In this paper we discuss the ontology building process using the Prot�g� 4.1 ontology editor and also highlight the specification of our Brain Tumour Ontology in terms of clinical concepts and relationships between the concepts which are represented in the OWL class and properties.* Speaker: Subhashis Das,MS(LIS) Venue : DRTC Classroom, Date: 15th Nov 2012 Time : 02:00 P.M.

by Aida Slavic 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

***Apologies for cross-posting*** ====CALL FOR PAPERS ==== CLASSIFICATION AND VISUALIZATION:INTERFACES TO KNOWLEDGE International UDC Seminar 2013 VENUE:The Hague, National Library of the Netherlands DATE: 24-25 October 2013 WEBSITE: http://seminar.udcc.org/2013/ CONTACT: seminar2013(a)udcc.org The objective of this conference is to explore cutting edge advances and techniques in the visualization of knowledge across various fields of application and their potential impact on developments in the more main stream bibliographic and documentary classifications. We invite overviews, illustrations and analysis of approaches to and models of the visualization of knowledge that can help advance the application of documentary and bibliographic classifications in information and knowledge discovery. We welcome high quality, innovative research contributions from various fields of application including: - visualization of knowledge orders (e.g. scientific taxonomies, Wikipedia) - visualization of collection content, large datasets - visualization of knowledge classifications for the purpose of managing the classifications and working with them - visualization of knowledge to support interactive searching, user browsing behaviour (IR) and classification as an aid to information navigation Specific topics may include: 1. Issues and challenges in visualization of conceptual structures and knowledge in general, e.g. development of knowledge over time, shift in knowledge structures (dynamic knowledge), interactions between knowledge structures, socio-cultural issues, technical challenges (incl. animation, simulation) 2. Knowledge visualization models and metaphors: theory, methods, overviews, analysis 3. Visualization of classification in: information searching and browsing (e.g. search expansion, result display); visualization of knowledge in relation to user information needs 4. Presentation and visualization related to specific types of knowledge classification structure (e.g. faceted and enumerative hierarchies, polyhierarchical and/or aspect classifications etc.) 5. Classification as an aid in presenting and navigating large datasets, or providing an overview of collection content for resource discovery or management purposes 6. Visualization as an aid to cross-collection, cross-language, cross-vocabulary knowledge browsing 7. Relationships between classification data formats and classification visualization We invite two kinds of contributions: conference papers and posters.

Dear all, We are happy to inform about the new release of LibLiveCD version 1.3.

All these three software are pre-configured and pre-installed on a livecd. The total size of the LibLiveCD is 696 MB. Drupal Content Management Open Source Software is added considering the requirements of libraries to create their library websites with dynamic look. Along with DSpace, Koha & Drupal the CD also contains following server related software preinstalled and pre configured such as:- Apache2 Web Server, OpenSSH Server, VSFTP Server, MySQL Server, PostGreSQL Server, Dovecot/Exim4 Mail Server, SquirrelMail Web Mail Client and Minimum desktop environment.

Teamviewer 7 is pre installed to share desktop, Abiword for editing/reading word documents, gnumeric for using spread sheets, vim/medit/gedit for text editing and epdfview for reading PDF files. Openoffice/Libreoffice and multimedia related software are excluded from the CD and these can easily be installed by running "System Tools-Synaptic Package Manager". If the synaptic “reload” does not work try changing repositories links to http://archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu instead of http://in.archives.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and then search and install any other software required. lUbuntu operating system (Lightweight Operating System) is chosen considering requirements from libraries where libraries have low configuration desktops in their libraries but still wish to initiate their library web sites, initiate library automation, as well as wish to create digital libraries. Please follow proper installation steps to install LibLiveCD if you wish to have dual boot i.e. windows as well as linux installation on your machines. If you are installing livecd on a machine which is running under proxy and if you are unable to browse Internet then on every boot you will have to manually set current date and time.
