Dear Friends, Recently I attended 10th annual national convention of MANLIBNET held at KIIT university, Bhubaneswar (Orissa). The theme was “Organizational excellence in business and management libraries: current trends and future directions” Many eminent librarians had attended the function. All presented their respective papers. Mr. Dipak Kumar Khuntia (XIMB) was awarded for the best presentation. Congrats sir! My topic of presentation was “ Libraries as reflected in the websites: a study of the homepages of management institutes”. I carried out the survey (of course desk top) by just clicking and analyzing the information depicted in the institutes websites. I had a nice experience at the convention. I thank the organizing committee. Really such type of workshops gives opportunity for us to interact and explore.

Re: [LIS-Forum] An exhibit highlighting the rising cost of library journal subscriptions

Dear Prof. Arunachalam, I saw the exhibit with interest. It is a good idea, however the arguments and pictures do not really convince. The investment in science is for a better tomorrow. I am sure if India stops investing in research and transfer the funds as an aid for social uplifting, several poor families would be in a better condition. But, as we all know, this is shortsightedness. A convincing exhibit should have a comparison of percentage of increase in prices of journals vis a vis other commodities.

UNESCO releases English version of its publication on languages in cyberspace
by Puna Das 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

UNESCO releases English version of its publication on languages in cyberspace 19-01-2009 (Paris) UNESCO releases the English version of its publication "Securing a Place for a Language in Cyberspace", which first appeared in French in 2007 and has been translated in several languages since then. The original version was prepared with the assistance of the Latin Union and the intellectual contribution of the expert Marcel Diki-Kidiri. Consistent with the UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Promotion and Use of Multilingualism and Universal Access to Cyberspace, this publication aimes at facilitating decision-making on the inclusion of new languages in cyberspace. Cyberspace is open to all languages of the world, since its infrastructure is not subject to a central authority which can decide how it should be used. It is sufficient, in principle, to link a computer to an Internet access provider in order to post online texts, graphics or audio data in the language of one’s choice. However, implementing this principle, which is a fundamental factor of democracy at the global level and inclusive knowledge societies, requires a number of technical conditions, and human and financial resources. In this publication, the author explains as simple as possible how to ensure that a language which is poorly endowed in linguistic and/or information technology resources, not to mention human resources, may find its proper place in cyberspace and be active there. The publication is meant to be didactic and to accompany, step-by-step, all those who may join UNESCO at any given stage on the path to putting all poorly endowed languages into cyberspace. The text of the publication is available online in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Portuguese - click here: http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0014/001497/149786E.pdf ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anup Kumar Das New Delhi, India http://anupkumardas.blogspot.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Connect with friends all over the world.

N. Phadke as a part of M.Phil programme at YCMOU. With the help of this Research Project libraries will be able to create or convert their collection into databases that adheres to required Bibliographic Standards. This in turn will facilitate resource sharing. Moreover, without any investments in costly softwares, libraries will be able to host their collection on intranet and internet with comprehensive and user friendly search features. For further details and status about the Research Project, log on to website http://www.geocities.com/cilisindia. Questionnaire, Guidelines and Sample Data Entry forms can be downloaded from this website. I will be very thankful if you can inform about the same to your fellow colleagues.
