Our professionals should go beyond traditional librarianship. Especially Academic and Public libraries should adapt corporate style of working to some extent. Then only we can disseminate timely information. I request youngsters to read Dr. Amit's write-up and start learning Internet and other information resources, sharpen your analytical and presentation skill, improve communication style and deliver right information.

No End in Sight to Google Books Saga

Dear Friends, No End in Sight to Google Books Saga<http://www.technewsworld.com/story/68064.html> Google is taking a lot of heat over its plan to digitize millions of books and make them available online. The search giant reached an agreement with two groups representing a large number of publishers and authors last year, but the court overseeing the case has not yet given its blessing. In the meantime, there's been a flurry of legal activity from other parties that object to the deal.

Asus' E-Reader Mystery: Low-Cost, Dual Screen Device
by DINESH SIDDAIAH 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Dear Friends, Asus' E-Reader Mystery: Low-Cost, Dual Screen Device Asus is reportedly working on its own entry into the e-book reader market: a dual-screened reader that will open like an actual book. Asus reportedly intends to target the price of $165, significantly undercutting the kings of the market, Amazon and Sony. The Sunday *Times of London* quotes a UK Asus executive as saying the company, manufacturer of what could arguably be called the first netbook computer, would introduce a device before the end of the year that skirts the line between netbook and book reader. Dual screens that open like and actual book would give the user a more "normal" page-turning experience, but one of the screens could also be used as a Web browser or virtual keyboard. A built-in camera and microphone opens up a world of cheap Skype,<http://www.technewsworld.com/perl/search.pl?query=Skype&scope=network>Internet phone calls, and color screens means the ability to peruse graphics-rich pages like one would find in newspapers like *USA Today* -- as well as in school textbooks.

Gmail New Service - Gmail offers Google goggles to avoid late night drunken emails
by Ramakant Navghare 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

To, Dear All, *Gmail offers Google goggles to avoid late night drunken emails.* ** Users of Gmail, Google's email system, can now activate a new feature called Mail Goggles. It requires an emailer to solve a few easy maths problems quickly before hitting the "send" button. The service is set by default to come into force only on weekend nights, although the settings can be changed. Google's theory is that if your mental faculties are sufficiently intact to answer the questions, you will have been composed enough to be aware of the consequences of whatever you have just typed. ** *To activate Goggles, Gmail users should click the "Settings" link at the top of a Gmail page, then go to the "Labs" section.* Thank You, Regards, Ramakant Amar Navghare Administrator, Knowledge Management KPMG KPMG House II Kamala Mills Compound SB Marg Lower Parel (West) Mumbai 400 013 Tel +91 (22) 39896000 Fax +91 (22) 39895554 email : ramakant.navghare(a)gmail.com Mob.

Public Consultation - National Information Society Policy: A template Developed by the Information For All Programme Of UNESCO to Assist UNESCO Member States in the Development of National Information Policy and Strategy Frameworks The Information for All Programme of UNESCO (IFAP) was established by UNESCO to provide a framework for international co-operation and partnerships in "building an information society for all". IFAP's focus is on ensuring that all people have access to information they can use to enhance their lives. UNESCO has assumed the task of assisting Member States in the formulation of national information policy frameworks, in particular within the framework of the Information for All Programme (IFAP). The "Tunis Agenda for the Information Society," adopted during the second phase of WSIS in Tunis in 2005 included the following paragraph: "Taking into consideration the leading role of governments in partnership with other stakeholders in implementing the WSIS outcomes, including the Geneva Plan of Action, at the national level, we encourage those governments that have not yet done so to elaborate, as appropriate, comprehensive, forward-looking and sustainable national e-strategies, including ICT strategies and sectoral e-strategies as appropriate , as an integral part of national development plans and poverty reduction strategies, as soon as possible and before 2010." The Template is intended to assist countries and governments in the process of developing, or extending and updating, such policies and strategies. It was developed for IFAP and under its guidance by a team of researchers from the Foundation Gestion y Desarrollo – LINKS (Argentina), led by dr Susana Finquelievich. All interested parties are invited to send in comments on this Template, before it is submitted to the Intergovernmental Council of IFAP for approval and then distributed to UNESCO Member States.

Teachers Day Celebration
by Charu 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

Respected Friends, Greetings for the day, Teachers have a very special place in the society. They have the instinct to recognize talent and nurture it. They are the creators of responsible citizens, who contribute to the society in one way or the other. Students, especially the small children, often consider their favorite teacher as the perfect person on earth. Teachers are considered the mentors, who not only guide a person academically, but also instill moral and ethical values in him/her. Celebrations are parts of every type of relationship. When it comes to teacher and student, Teacher's Day becomes the golden opportunity for both of them, to honor their unique bond and also appreciates teaching and the people who have opted for the profession. It is a day, when students approach their teachers and extend their sincere gratitude to them. It is the time to pay tribute to them, who have shaped up our career and imparted knowledge to their students, not just to excel academically, but also to develop their personality. I would like to offer my gratitude towards teaching community in following words--- God understood our thirst for Knowledge, And Our Need To Be Led By someone wiser; He needed a heart of compassion, Of encouragement, and patience; Someone who would accept The Challenge Regardless Of The Opposition; Someone who could see potential And believe in the best in others . . . So he made teachers ……..Happy Teachers Day………….. Regards. Miss Charu Mathur, Delhi. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

The news of the sudden demise of eminent Prof. P.N.Kaula, a luminary and star in Library and Information Science, saddened me very deeply. He is a faithful disciple of Padmashree S.R. Ranganathan, the father of Library Science movement in India. Like his GURU, He is also a prolific writer and he produced a good number of outstanding books in Library and Information Science. S.N.
