Fw: ERIC Unveils New Look, Expanded Coverage
by Shamprasad Pujar 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

FYI -- Original Message -- From: bsmith70(a)csc.com To: diglib(a)infoserv.inist.fr Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2008 16:08:20 +0200 (METDST) Subject: [DIGLIB] ERIC Unveils New Look, Expanded Coverage ERIC Unveils New Look, Expanded Coverage August 6, 2008 Were pleased to announce two recent advances in ERIC of interest to librarians and all ERIC users: the addition of more than 130 new comprehensively indexed journals, and release of a redesigned and enhanced Web site at www.eric.ed.gov. Users can now search a richer collection of education-focused literature while taking advantage of improvements that speed information discovery on the public ERIC Web site. In addition, a new area just for librarians includes useful information for patron support and collection maintenance. New Journals in ERIC As of June 30, 2008, ERIC has added more than 3,600 new records from newly acquired journals. Work is underway to increase coverage even further by seeking additional partnerships with publishers of both journal and non-journal literature. New journals are indexed from 2004 forward, except for titles indexed prior to ERICs 2004 transition to an all-electronic service. Once recent titles have been acquired and indexed, ERIC will acquire 2002-2003 electronic back issues of previously indexed titles to prevent gaps in journal coverage. The ERIC Team would like to give special thanks to all members of the library community who have collaborated with ERIC to make the acquisition of new resources a reality. If you would like to recommend an education-related title or potential source for grey literature for inclusion in ERIC, go to "For Librarians" on the ERIC Web site and submit your suggestion using the link provided under Getting Involved. Redesigned Web Site ERIC released a redesigned Web site (http://www.eric.ed.gov) on August 3. Highlights include: A major restructuring features clearer, more intuitive paths to information, making the site easier to use. A completely new and expanded Help section that includes brief tutorials, a glossary, and a searchable index. Help tools have been integrated into the ERIC Web site. How do I links and help tips on key fields and features provide direct access to information that helps you take advantage of ERICs robust search tools and submit documents. A new section, "For Librarians", consolidates information of interest to the library community into a single location. This area includes flyers, brochures, lists of ERIC microfiche, links to frequently used help topics, and other relevant information, including ways to provide feedback about ERIC. Lighter visual design, so pages load faster and new graphics refresh the site while retaining ERICs look and feel. For more information about ERICs new journals and the redesigned site (including a detailed list of whats changed), see the rotating features area on the home page of the ERIC Web site Dr S.M.

Document Management System

Dear All, Recently we installed a Document Management System for all organization's members to access while both within and outside the building. However, I have faced a lot of resistance (indirect) from Colleagues. For example each member is required to upload documents for internal communication onto the system but up to now most members have not done so. And instead are using the old system of sending them as email attachments. I therefore ask for your ideas on how to enhance usage of this system.

Ahmedabad (India), July 27, 2008 Cybrarian - Asia's first revolutionary Library Management Software System was launched by CR2 Technologies Ltd., Ahmedabad (India). Cybrarian - is a next generation web based, seamless & fully integrated Library Management software System hosted on a Remote Server. This is based on SaaS (Software as a Service) concept where users have to pay-as-you-use basis. Cybrarian was launched during LIBRARIANR Users Meet held in the city on 26th July'08. A group of librarians across the country, who are active users of LIBRARIANR - a Library Management Software, assembles once in a year to share & discuss their problems & experience with the Library Management software. The experience of each librarian is unique and they come out with new ideas to improve & to add new features to the software to make it more functional, user friendly & effective, the company announced today. "Cybrarian allows the librarians to access & run the software with the help of an ordinary low cost PC having a web browser and they can carry out on line all the transactions like Acquisition, Cataloguing, Circulation, Periodicals Management (PMS), Article Indexing, Reports Management etc. as if the entire application is running on their desk," said Suyash K., the company's Chief Executive Officer, CR2. "One can access the application anytime (24x7x365) from anywhere, & from any machine with built in webOPAC facility in the software. At a very low hosting fee, Cybrarian provides users facilities like Software Usage, Secured Data Storage & Management, Virus Protection, Backups, Patch Management, Product Updates, Technical Support, Maintenance etc. Cybrarian follows all the international standards like MARC21, Z39.50, AACR2, MARCXML, ISO 2079 etc. and is having UNICODE (Multilingual) facility. The most attractive feature of Cybrarian is that librarians or Resource Centre Manager can customize the application as per their requirements without the help or need from the software vendor. Moreover, the reports can also be self-customized." "Cybrarian also allows the member libraries to form or create their own network of libraries from similar related subjects / background / industries for resource sharing by collecting, storing & disseminating information and would offer networked services like information about resources scattered in the libraries throughout the world, referencing materials to meet the requirements of students, researchers, scholars & the general public, Inter Library Loan etc. without incurring any extra cost, " said Sohaon K., Chief Operating Officer of the company. "Cybrarian is the result of 10+ man years of research & development and helps libraries to reduce their OPEX by 80-90%. SaaS is a new model for delivery of software over internet. It is a shift from packaged software to Software as a Service (SaaS). In this new model, the user is saved from the hassles of buying licensed copies of software like OS, R/DBMS, Application Software, Anti virus etc. They are also not required to buy costly hardware like Servers, PCs, Networking components etc. The user is also free from the daily problems of installation, management, maintenance, back up, security etc. Initial cost of Investment and recurring cost every month is as good as nil. The recruitment of expert IT professionals can also be avoided. According to Gartner, the SaaS opportunity globally is estimated to be around $19.1 billion by 2011. McKinsey reports that the proportion of CIOs considering adoption SaaS applications in the coming year has gone from 38% a year to 61%. By 2010, at least 65 percent of all businesses will have deployed at least one SaaS application.
