Respected forum members, The piece of news that I am going to share is not related to Library and Information Science. But its so important for all of us that i could not resist myself for posting in the forum. Its historic day of creating artificial life on earth. Even I am aware of the fact that the news clippings should not be copied and pasted here as because the forum to which I am going to post maintain its online archive. So, catch the news over: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/may/20/craig-venter-synthetic-life-f… . and lets hope that J. Craig Venter will be the next noble prize winners for his effort in genetics and artificially created life.

Dear All, We are organizing a workshop on "Inclusive Libraries - Making Libraries Disabled Friendly". Hope to see you all there. The need to access libraries is not one that we need to contend. Libraries provide us with a vast resource of knowledge whereby a person can access books, periodicals, newspapers, journals, etc. Today with the advent of digital libraries, collections are stored in digital formats and accessible by computers, also. Persons with disabilities should also have access to both that is physical libraries as well as digital libraries.

Therefore, making libraries inclusive is important for the growth of India's population. Date: 22nd May 2010 Time: 11:00 am - 12:30 pm Venue Partner - HEALTH EDUCATION LIBRARY FOR PEOPLE, Excelsior Business Center, National Insurance Building, Ground Floor, Near Excelsior Cinema, 206, Dr.D.N Road, Mumbai 400 001.

Just Published - "Towards inclusive knowledge societies: a review of UNESCO's action in implementing the WSIS outcomes"
by Puna Das 21 May '10

21 May '10

Just Published - "Towards inclusive knowledge societies: a review of UNESCO's action in implementing the WSIS outcomes" This report reviews the UNESCO's work in these implementation areas during the five years since the Tunis phase of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in 2005. It summarises some highlights of what has been achieved to date and reflects upon the challenges which have arisen in the implementation of WSIS outcomes. The report looks in turn at UNESCO's three main roles in WSIS implementation: - as a coordinator/lead facilitator, with ITU, UNDP and UNCTAD, of the overall implementation process, including UNGIS and the WSIS Forum; - as a facilitator of six Action Lines to facilitate the implementation of the WSIS outcomes in specific areas of work; and - as an implementer of programmes and initiatives that seek to build inclusive Knowledge Societies and thereby contribute to the achievement of WSIS goals. The final section of the report looks forward over the next five years to suggest ways in which implementation of WSIS results might be more effectively integrated in the broader work that UNESCO and other agencies are doing. This work aims at achieving the benefits that can be derived from the Knowledge Societies to whose development UNESCO is committed.

The major resources for information now-a-day are internet and libraries. The automation of library processes to serve the users more effectively is one of the major objectives of a particular library. Implementation of new technologies to mechanize the various processes of the library will help the users utilize the resources efficiently. This colloquium provides a brief overview of the developments in the field of library automation in the last two decades. We have divided library automation into two distinct parts. One is in-house library automation which discusses automation of several in-house processes like house-keeping, serials control, cataloguing and indexing etc. Second is the digital library initiative discussing the web-based OPACs, libraries as portals, development of Ariel, MIME, digital reference services and interoperability of information systems. We will also discuss the various co-operative library networks, the role of open source movement and possible future directions. Contents Speakers 1. Introduction Sudipta Biswas 2.

CHECK POINTS FOR APPOINTMENT OF LIBRARIANS IN BIG LIBRARIES
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 17 May '10

17 May '10

Dear All, I would like to suggest some check point which should be followed before appointment of the Librarian especially in big and reputed Libraries. I will demonstrate it with example which are as follows: If your library is having more then 2 lakh of collection, more then 30 staff, more then 3 crore budget, more than 400 serials subscriptions, Online e-resources subscription, more than 2 thousand users etc. then my view is selecting authority/committee should follow the following check points during the selection process other wise i can say your library progress will decline and your library will collapse due to loss of peaceful/working environment of the Library. 1) Check whether the candidate is having experience of handling at least more than 1.5 lakh collection or not. 2) Check Whether is he/she knows how to enter Journals in kardex or software? 3) Check whether the candidate have written at least 20 articles for the Journals and conferences or not otherwise after selection He/She will force your staff to write article in His/Her Name and never promote for such activity. 4) Check whether he wants to prove himself/Herself as a good leader with an example not by force. 5) Check whether His/Her mental condition is fit or not with the help of psychologist. 6) Check whether He/She has handled more than 20 staff or not. 7) Check whether He/She has handled more than 2 crore of budget or not. 8) Check whether He/She is having experience of handling more than 300 Journals and e-resources. 9) Check whether He/She wants to work for the Library or wants to use the glamor of the post and misuse the facility and power given to Him/Her. 10) Check His/Her reputation/Contribution in Library profession. 11) At last you check his academic career and achievements. If above condition is not satisfied then my view is better to leave the post vacant because your junior staffs can better handle the library without any Librarian.

Free software users community and libraries
by Vimal Kumar 17 May '10

17 May '10

Dear Friends, I am writing this letter to inform you about an event organized by free software community in our city. The main aim of this community meeting was to announce the release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Linux operating system. A small group of people representing various walk of life; students, teachers, farmers, writers etc. attended the function. The event included introducing the features of new Ubuntu, demonstration and answering the questions of participants. Here is a snapshot the event, http://twitpic.com/1kstkx Here, I would like to highlight certain features of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) for librarian's community, assess its suitability in your library. 1. Ubuntu is a user friendly desktop and server operating system, 2. It is free from virus attack and other vulnerabilities, 3. An array of application softwares for your routine works, 4. You can install and run your genuine windows applications (e.g. Dreamweaver) in Ubuntu, 5. Social network services integrated with Ubuntu Desktop, no need to install separate messengers to manage your accounts (e.g. facebook, twitter etc), 6. Easy interface for computing with Indian languages, no need to install seperate font or anything. Keying in your language using either normal keyboard or transliteration is possible. 7. Suitable for the installation of library software packages; dspace, eprints, Koha, NewGenLib, Moodle etc. 8. Easy installation, no need to partition your hard disk. You can install directly from windows machine without disturbing your Windows OS. You can make a feature tour from the following link, http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/1004features Another funny thing I would like to share with you in this context is thatmost of the libraries are using pirated softwares. Librarians are unaware of the risks of using pirated software. Libraries are getting pre-installed pirated softwares (Operating systems and application softwares) while purchasing the computer. They think that Windows operating system is free !! I have also noticed that local library software vendors install pirated Windows OS to run their software. Librarians are on the edge of risk; getting arrested or fined is one of the punishment for using pirated software. Solution to this problem is either use licensed version of costly commercial software or choose free software. Free Software Users Group in our city (Trivandrum, http://ilug-tvm.org) is very active (in other cities too). They offer help and solutions to members and other stake holders (e.g. school, NGO's, Govt. Organisations). Find Free Software Users Group in your area and enjoy the services of the community. -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.
