by Nitin S. Joshi Joshi 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Dear Professionals Respected Patron: The present day world is now communicating through Social Networks. Your users whether they are students or research scholars or faculty or scientists now use social networking sites more that their emails. The popularity of Twitter and Facebook justify this fact. Mobile phones, Tablets, and PCs have plugins and tools that simplify communication through social networking sites. The good news is, you can make your library to communicate to its users through these Social Networking Sites. NewGenLib Open Source can now enable your library to participate in Twitter, a Social Networking service. Twitter is an online social networking service and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read text-based posts of up to 140 characters, known as "tweets". The service rapidly gained worldwide popularity, with over 300 million users as of 2011, generating over 300 million tweets and handling over 1.6 billion search queries per day. It has been described as "the SMS of the Internet." Tweets are publicly visible by default; however, senders can restrict message delivery to just their followers. Courtesy: Wikipedia How does NewGenLib use Twitter? ---------------------------------------------- The library must have a Twitter account. You can integrate NewGenLib with the library's Twitter account. Use case 1: Library Tweets are published on to the OPAC's home page through Profile widget. You can send Tweets directly from Librarian's interface. Use case 2: If the users want to receive direct messages from library they must register their Twitter Id with the library. Also they must follow the library twitter account. The following direct messages are sent by NewGenLib to the users' Twitter accounts - Check out notification - Check in notification - Renewal notification - Reservation notifications - Recall notices - Book lost notification Through Twitter NewGenLib enables SMS service in 77 countries -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The direct messages mentioned above can now reach the mobiles of your users. Twitter has mobile services in 77 countries which includes United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bhutan, Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Cameroon, Caribbean, Colombia, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic Congo, Denmark, Egypt, El Salvador, Fiji, Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Korea, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Madagascar, Malaysia, Maldives, Mexico, Morocco, Nauru, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestinian Territories, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Sweden, Tajikistan, Tonga, Trinidad/Tobago, Turkey, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, and Yemen.

E-BOOKS OVERTAKES TRADITIONAL PAPERBACKS IN UK
by Ragaavendra R 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

E-books overtakes traditional paperbacks in UK Days of hardbound and paperback could soon end as e-books take over! With growing popularity of virtual books which can be downloaded on book reading devices, the real paper books have taken a back seat, the 'Daily Mail' reported. The online retailer 'Amazon' which started selling downloadable books in the UK in August 2010, has sold 114 internet book downloads for every 100 print books this year. Amazon's eReader devices, the Kindle range, have been a huge seller in Britain despite the fact consumers pay up to 70 per cent more than those in the USA. "We hit this milestone in the United States less than four years after introducing Kindle, so to reach this landmark after just two years in the UK is remarkable and shows how quickly UK readers are embracing Kindle," vice president of Kindle EU Jorrit Van der Meulen was quoted as saying. "As a result of the success of Kindle, we're selling more books than ever before on behalf of authors and publishers," Meulen added. However, this virtual success has been seen to be disastrous for independent book shops and are almost disappearing from most high streets. On the other hand, this has proved to be a good move for authors who can publish their books on-line, get direct access to readers and earn a big share of the sale money for themselves. The most popular downloads in the Kindle store so far this year have been the controversial Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy by the British writer EL James. More than two million digital versions of the sexually charged novels were sold in just four months.

OXFORD PLAN TO DIGITIZE SHAKESPEARE'S FIRST FOLIO
by Ragaavendra R 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Oxford plan to digitize Shakespeare's First Folio The University of Oxford has launched a campaign to raise funds to digitize the first edition of William Shakespeare's plays, known as First Folio dated 1623, to make it available on the Internet. The First Folio was shown to Indian actor Amitabh Bachchan during his visit to Oxford in May last year. It is rarely brought out to be shown to visitors due to its worn condition. Delicate restoration work has been carried out on its leather binding and other aspects. The campaign by the University's Bodleian Library is called 'Sprint for Shakespeare' The project will involve the digitization of almost 1,000 pages and funds will also support work to stabilize the condition of the First Folio and protect the original for the future. The First Folio is the first collected edition of Shakespeare's plays, and the first collected edition of any English playwright, published seven years after his death by two of his fellow actors. The Bodleian's First Folio is unique in not having been rebound or restored in almost four centuries since it was first received by the library late in 1623. The volume left the library in the 1660s and was returned after the exceptional response to a public fundraising campaign to buy it at the turn of the 20th century. Sarah Thomas, Bodley's Librarian said: "The Bodleian copy of the First Folio has a special place in the Library's history." "Its pages are not only evidence of Shakespeare's literary genius but are also a testimony of how the Bodleian built its collections over time, as the agreement with the Stationers' Company enabled Oxford in 1623 to be the first university to ever hold Shakespeare's First Folio, and the inspirational philanthropy showed by hundreds of people". Oxford University Professor Jonathan Bate added, "The Shakespeare First Folio is the most important secular book in the history of the western world. The digitization of the Bodleian copy, with its strange and eventful history, is a great project."
