Calls for New Nominations for Memory of the World International Register
by Puna Das 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Calls for New Nominations for Memory of the World International Register 22-10-2009 (Paris) UNESCO is inviting new nomination proposals for inscription on its Memory of the World International Register, a list of library collections and archive holdings of world significance, which was established in 1997 to promote documentary heritage of universal value. Nominations should ideally be submitted through the National Commission for UNESCO or the Memory of the World National Committee in the country where it is located. Proposals should be based on the selection criteria listed in the General Guidelines to Safeguard Documentary Heritage, which stipulates that the most important criterion for inscription on the register is the universal significance of the documentary heritage. The deadline for the submission of nominations is 31 March 2010 and no late submissions will be accepted. They should be submitted to UNESCO's Memory of the World Secretariat: # by mail accompanied by an electronic version on diskette, CD-Rom or USB key (addressed to Joie Springer, Memory of the World Programme, Information Society Division, 1, rue Miollis, 75732 Paris Cedex 15, France); # by email to j.springer[at]unesco.org. Nominations are posted on the Programme's Website and illustrations such as photographs or slides (TIFF, GIF, JPEG formats), and sound recordings (real-media) can be included to help describe the proposal. As the images submitted may often be used by the Memory of the World Secretariat in publicity material, an authorization for their reuse for non-profit purposes should also be included. A copy of this form can be downloaded here. At present, a total of 193 collections submitted by 76 different countries, 3 international organization and one private foundation are inscribed on the International Register of the Memory of the World Programme. Regional registers have been created for the MOWCAP and MOWLAC committees and an increasing number of countries have now established national registers. Assessment for inscription on the Register is determined by a panel of experts, the Register Sub-committee and the International Advisory Committee (IAC) whose recommendations are forwarded to the Director-General for final decision. The announcement on the next round of inscription will be made in 2011. UNESCO launched the Memory of the World Programme to guard against collective amnesia calling upon the preservation of the valuable archive holdings and library collections all over the world ensuring their wide dissemination. The Programme is intended to protect documentary heritage, and helps networks of experts to exchange information and raise resources for preservation of and access to documentary material.

WSIS Forum 2010 open consultation: Call for participation 18-01-2010 (Paris) UNESCO, together with ITU, UNCTAD and UNDP, is organizing an open consultation for the upcoming World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Forum 2010. All individuals, networks and organizations interested in this issue are invited to participate in the three-fold process, consisting of an online discussion, a questionnaire and a review meeting. 2010 is a turning point towards the achievement of the WSIS goals by 2015. This year's Forum, which will be held in Geneva (Switzerland) from 10 to 14 May 2010, is an important opportunity to review the progress made in the WSIS implementation during the last five years and to reconsider strategies for the remaining five years. Following the outcomes of the 2009 WSIS Action Line Facilitators Meeting on 22 May 2009, as well as several exchanges among WSIS stakeholders, an open consultation, focusing on the themes of the 2010 Forum, has been set up. The process will be carried out in three phases: * An online multi-stakeholder consultation is taking place on the online WSIS Community platform until 24 January. Stakeholders are invited to express and exchange their ideas in order to generate possible themes and potential speakers for the 2010 Forum. To join this discussion, please click here http://www.wsis-community.org/pg/announcements/view/15586 . * Stakeholders can also submit their official contributions, by 5 February, through an online questionnaire [ http://www.itu.int/wsis/implementation/2010/forum/geneva/questionnaire/inde… ] or by sending a query to: wsis[at]itu.int. * All submitted comments will be examined during the Final Review Meeting, which will take place at the ITU Headquarters in Geneva on 10 February. To register for this meeting please click here http://www.itu.int/wsis/implementation/2010/forum/geneva/registrationconsul… . Remote participation will also be possible via webcast, the link to which will shortly be available on the Forum's website http://www.itu.int/wsis/implementation/2010/forum/geneva/ . The WSIS Forum builds upon the tradition of the annual WSIS May meetings. The 2009 Forum attracted more than 400 participants representing governments, civil society/NGOs, private sector and intergovernmental organizations from around the world. The new format of the 2010 meeting is the result of last year's open consultations with all WSIS stakeholders. Detailed information on the preparatory process is available on the official website of the WSIS Forum 2010. Please take the opportunity to co-shape the agenda of the Forum with your ideas.

All, A big barrier to evaluation and use of Koha has been the difficult installation process and the need for some Linux expertise. We have developed a software appliance (or Live CD) for Koha v 3.0, that removes this barrier. The CD can be used in several ways: - to try Koha directly from the CD - to test if your hardware is compatible with Linux/Koha - to install on your machine The appliance is built on openSUSE Linux 11.2 and Koha v 3.02. The appliance includes a full featured and ready to run Koha, including: - zebra search server - email notices - fines calculation and more.. User manuals and other resources are also packaged in the CD. We will offer free but limited support via a mailing list: koha-appliance-osslabs(a)googlegroups.com. Those interested in the appliance can order a copy on our website, you will need to pay postage costs only. More information on this appliance is available here: http://www.osslabs.biz/koha_library_management_system/koha-appliance.html.

Copyright law allows users to use the copyrighted material for the private purpose (fair use policy) means personal, professional and knowledge update intention and barred from commercial gains. Library and information science professionals have to play a greater role in prevent all kinds of infringements in order to respect the original work and not hamper to its commercial value. Presently some plagiarism finding free software's available to stop lifting and illegally copying stuff to produce new. I think this is the best solution to overcome the infringement problems. Best Regards, Raghavendra R raghupawar(a)gmail.com From: lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in [mailto:lis-forum-bounces@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in] On Behalf Of Badan Barman Sent: Monday, January 11, 2010 3:47 PM To: digilib_india(a)yahoogroups.com; iatlis(a)yahoogroups.com; nmlis(a)yahoogroups.com; ASDOLIS; Filipino Librarians (Members: 732); KM-Forum; Library (Members: 682); LIS Links; LIS-FORUM; LIS_Network (Members: 726); MLOSC (Members: 848) Subject: [LIS-Forum] Plagiarism and Indian LIS Professionals. Respected forum members, Many LIS professionals in India in their books, papers submitted to seminar / conference / festschrift volume as well as magazines / journals including contents posted to their blog, message posted to online groups / forum are copied from some one else and try to showcase as their own. I have a very bitter experience and I think many of you too. Such practices should be avoided but no one taking serious steps in this regard. We are living in a digital society, where forget about the journal articles, even blog post, message posted to groups / forum even personal email and chat messages are treated as copyrighted. Its time to make a voice in this regard and explore such bad practices with evidences. No doubt, in moving to the same we will faced a lot of personal attack but we should be able to bear all of them to build a new practice of a culture society in LIS in India. So, in eliminating the garbage from the world of information explosion, I just want some cooperation form the Indian LIS Professionals, and I hope you will.
