Document Management System
by Nagawa 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

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. Regards, Nagawa Peace Library Assistant Economic Policy Research Center 51 Pool Road Makerere University Campus P.o Box 7841 Kampala Tel. 256-41-541923 email: nagawa(a)eprc.or.ug -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Cybrarian Launched (http://www.cybrarian.in)
by INFO＠DLIBCOM 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

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 $19.1 billion by 2011. McKinsey reports that the proportion of CIOs considering adoption SaaS applications in the coming year has gone from 38% a year to 61%. By 2010, at least 65 percent of all businesses will have deployed at least one SaaS application. According to Springboard Research, the Market for SaaS in India is expected to touch US$ 165 Million by 2010 (over Rs 700 Crores). About CR2 Technologies Ltd. CR2 Technologies Ltd. (www.cr2.in) is a new start up company established in the year 2007. The company is engaged in designing & development of software products for different application areas. Utilizing Microsoft's latest .NET technology, CR2 has come out with various software products useful for Educational & Health Care industries. CR2's other leading software products include LIBRARIANR, eduERPTM, MAXOpmsTM.

Dear Members I am pleased to announce the facility of copy cataloguing of bibliographic records from the INFLIBNET's web site. Library professionals can download bibliographic records of books according to ISO 2709 format from the union catalogue of the Centre , which contains holdings of major university libraries in India. The Centre has opened the facility to download searched or matched records according to MARC21, ASCII and CCF. In order to make use of this facility, you may visit our site at http://www.inflibnet.ac.in or http://202.141.12.214:8080/unicat/book.jsp .

UNESCO Bangkok releases new publication 'Strategy Framework for Promoting ICT Literacy in the Asia-Pacific Region'

UNESCO Bangkok releases new publication on ICT literacy in the Asia-Pacific 01-08-2008 (Bangkok) The UNESCO Office in Bangkok, Thailand, has released a new e-publication entitled Strategy Framework for Promoting ICT Literacy in the Asia-Pacific Region. This paper targets individuals and organizations engaged in providing ICT literacy education. It offers an analysis of ICT usage in Asia-Pacific countries and defines measures for promoting ICT literacy development in the region. There is almost universal acceptance that information and communication technologies (ICT) are good for development. These technologies, most particularly those that are Internet-connected, increase access through distance learning, enable a knowledge network for students, train teachers, broaden the availability of quality education materials and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of educational administration policy. Educational systems, both formal and non-formal, are powerful social institutions infused with the mission of developing desirable values among the public – and especially among the youth. Thus, they must be most sensitised to ICT potential dangers and be proactive in addressing them. ICT literacy education provides an appropriate venue for this. Moreover, given that there is continuous development of ICT and the people who use them, so should there also be continual assessment of ICT education and curricula by the educational systems/institutions that offer them. In a world where information and knowledge are currency, governments aspire to develop their countries as optimised knowledge societies. In order to address these issues UNESCO's Office in Bangkok commissioned this paper, which is now published in electronic format. It provides, in its first section, a situational analysis of ICT usage in the Asia-Pacific region, both to examine current dominant thrusts in ICT literacy education and to serve as background for the strategy framework. The second section details this framework. It defines goals, objectives, and approaches, as well as discusses conceptual and operational measures for promoting ICT literacy development throughout the Asia-Pacific region. By so doing, this paper helps contribute to Asia Pacific Information Network (APIN) ICT literacy programming efforts.
