'The Lairds of Learning'
by G Mahesh 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

The Larids of Learning How did academic publishers acquire these feudal powers? By George Monbiot. Published in the Guardian 30th August 2011 Who are the most ruthless capitalists in the Western world? Whose monopolistic practices makes WalMart look like a corner shop and Rupert Murdoch look like a socialist? You won’t guess the answer in a month of Sundays. While there are plenty of candidates, my vote goes not to the banks, the oil companies or the health insurers, but – wait for it – to academic publishers. Theirs might sound like a fusty and insignificant sector. It is anything but. Of all corporate scams, the racket they run is most urgently in need of referral to the competition authorities.....

29 Aug '11

Dear Murali Greetings from the GIPE Library! With reference to your query "Porting of data from MS Excel/MS Access", please find below the details. Yes, there is a provision in Koha to import the data. The data can be either in MS Excel or MS Access. The Excel / MS Access data can be ported in Koha using a utility called MarcEdit. The utility is available on the net. While creating the worksheet in Excel ensure that most important data fields like Date of Accession, Accession Number, Author(s), Title, Subtitle, Edition, Publisher, Place of Publication, Year of Publication, Notes, Class Number / Call Number, Supplier, Invoice/Bill, Invoice Date, Type of Document (Book, CD, DVD), Type of Material (Reference/Circulation), etc are entered in separate fields. As excel or access does not support the repeatable fields, please create as many as author fields as you require. In author field please entre the data in the order Last Name, First Name and Middle Name. Ensure to insert a comma after Surname. I have name few fields only. If you wish / require, please add as many fields as you want. MARC21 / Koha will support all the fields that you entre. If you find any difficulty in creating the marc file for Koha or ISO file for any other software, do get back to me. To start with, those who have not started the library automation and have not thought of buying / installing any software also can go for this kind of Excel / Ms Access Data entry.

In later stages will I be able to port the same data into any library software? To enable the system to make it happen, do I need any supporting softwares in addition? If yes, what are they? 3. If the database can be ported to the software, what are the main information I may need to capture in my excel worksheet like Author, Title etc...?

Agricultural University (ANGRAU), Hyderabad. Reddy has taught LIS courses at Bangalore University and was one of the first recognized guides by Osmania University for doctoral research in LIS. Under the guidance of Prof. K.S.Deshapande, in 1982, he has obtained Ph.D. degree from Karnataka University. Reddy earned h! is second MLIS degree from Wayne State University, United States. In the New Millennium, he has joined the Texas A & M University Library Faculty. http://library.tamu.edu/directory/devaereddy Dr. Reddy was awarded Senior Fulbright Fellowship in 1987 for postdoctoral research in LIS at Wisconsin University, Madison.

BookTrack - Ebooks with Sound Effects & Music
by Mangesh J Ghodke 27 Aug '11

27 Aug '11

BookTrack - A new startup called Booktrack launched this morning (actually, the NYT launched it yesterday), in an effort to create a whole new genre of e-books. Booktrack creates synchronized soundtracks for e-books that aim to “dramatically boost the reader’s imagination and engagement”. The startup’s technology pairs music scores and sound effects with text, automatically paced to one’s reading speed. Booktracks can be downloaded for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, and Android apps are on the way. Check out the Booktrack Bookshelf for available titles. The company has teamed up with Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Park Road Post, and Full Fathom Five, and its technology is already fully integrated in the new novel ‘The Power of Six’ by Pittacus Lore (James Frey), published by HarperCollins Children’s Books. Booktrack and publishers will share profits with participating authors, composers, and musicians, the company said in a press release. Booktrack is backed by former PayPal and early Facebook investor (and longtime board member) Peter Thiel as well as authors who will be collaborating with the company. Other initial investors in and advisors to Booktrack include Mark D’Arcy, Director of Global Creative Solutions at Facebook, and Derek Handley, CEO and cofounder of mobile marketing and media company The Hyperfactory. The latter will also serve as Booktrack’s chairman. Paul Cameron, Booktrack’s co-founder and CEO, in the press release compares e-books in their current form with ‘movies with no soundtrack’, but I’m not sure I agree with that statement – reading is an entirely different way of consuming content. I’m not sure a soundtrack attached to an e-book can do anything but distract from the reading experience, actually. Of course, I’ve only briefly tested Booktrack’s technology with a single e-book, so I haven’t entirely made up my mind yet about its potential to disrupt the e-book genre. Wired’s Charlie Sorrel, for one, thinks the idea stinks. He makes a good case, but that won’t (and shouldn’t) stop the company from trying, evidently. In the coming weeks and months, Booktrack says it will publish a specially-curated compendium of short stories from some of the top authors in the world, starting in September with ‘In the South’ by Salman Rushdie. Booktrack will also release editions of classics, including titles such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Peter Pan, The Three Musketeers, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Romeo and Juliet and more.

International Conference on Diversity & Plurality in Media - Reflections of Society 27th and 28th December, 2011

Dear Professional Colleagues, We are organizing an International Conference on “International Conference on Diversity and Plurality in Media- Reflection on Society” from 26th-27th December, 2011 at Bhopal. The details are given below. I request you to circulate among the faculty members of your institution. Thanking You Yours Sincerely Vijay Anand Head, Library Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism and Communication, Bhopal Noida Campus, C56A/5, Sector- 62, Noida - 201301 (m)anandwarm(a)gmail.com *International Conference on Diversity & Plurality in Media - Reflections of Society* *27th and 28th December, 2011* * * *Organized by* *MAKHANLAL CHATURVEDI NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF JOURNALISM AND COMMUNICATION* *B-38, Vikas Bhawan, Opposite, Dak Bhawan, Press Complex, Zone-1, M.P. Nagar, Bhopal - 462011, MP, India* Overview The foundation of ancient Bhartiya (Indian) civilization is based upon the eternal concept of unity in diversity. To be diverse is the law of nature but there is an element of commonality in every creation. Integral Humanism is a social philosophy that explains the intricacies of human relationships within and the outside world. Communication as an essentiality of human behaviour and media as its extension has to be diverse in nature and scope. But the organized media is structured in such a manner that it is conditioned to ignore the spectrum of the diversity and project certain activities, events, thoughts and ideologies more than the others. This does not result in media being a true representative of the society nor does it have the capacity to be objective. Do we live with these aberrations? Or else scholars and media persons should look for alternate structural options? The International Conference on ‘Diversity & Plurality in Media - Reflections of Society’ is organized by Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism and Communication, Bhopal, and will take place in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India, on December 27th and 28th, 2011.

The Conference will serve as good platform for media community to meet with each other and to exchange ideas. Proposed Themes 1. Unity in Diversity: Concept and Manifestation 2. Dynamics of Diversity in Media Structures 3. Democracy and Diverse Media Content 4. Ethnic Groups and Diversity in Media 5. New Media: Reality and Virtuality 6. Measuring Diversity and Plurality in Media 7. Training for Diversity and Plurality in Media content 8. Social Exclusion and Media 9. Strategic Communication and Managing Change 10. Defining Role & Function of Media in terms of Integral Humanism 11. Caste & Class in Media Structure & Content 12. Media and Politics of Minoritism 13. Societal Diversity and its Reflections in Media 14.

The content and structure of the unconferences are decided by the participants. Unconferences work on the principle that the collective knowledge of the participants is more valuable than the traditional conference speaker. “LibCampBangalore” was the first ever unconference for corporate library and information science professionals in India. The first “LibCampBangalore” was organized by Information Resource Centre (IRC) of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Bangalore on March 7, 2009. So far, three “LibCampBangalore” unconferences have been successfully organized. Nandeesha will share his experience in architecting LibCampBangalore and this unconference becoming an effective platform for building professional network and knowledge sharing. About Speaker: Nandeesha M is currently working as Knowledge Management Consultant with SAP Global Delivery, Bangalore, India. He has 9 years of experience in Information and Knowledge Management. He started his professional career with Developing Library Network (DELNET - http://delnet.nic.in/) New Delhi and later worked as Knowledge Officer and Information Analyst with Information Resource Centre (IRC) Unit of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS - http://www.tcs.com) He is a member of the Newsletter Editorial Board at Asian Chapter of Special Libraries Association (SLA - http://units.sla.org/chapter/cas/index.html) USA. He has a post graduate degree in library and information science (MLISc) from University of Mysore and a post graduate degree in computer applications (MCA) from Indira Gandhi National Open University.
