Demand for service
by gayathri sen 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Dear friends, I completely agree with Mr. Sukhdev Singh's mail regarding mention of the efforts made to get a particular information before it is posted in Lis- Forum. Example- article requests should be tried with DELNET or other commercial provoiders of DDS or write to publishers and make payment for it, so that you will not violate copyright, and if it is nowhere available, then it needs to be posted to forum, as a last resort. Though we know the deficiency of written communication skills of few, effort should be made to present in a proper manner by the person who is posting. The moderator may decide not to post such requests basically to maintain the dignity of our profession. Gayathri Sen PESIT __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

MULISSA inaugurated at MyDLIS
by N.S. Harinarayana 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Dear Professionals, Here is the summary of the MULISSA inauguration at MyDLIS. Mysore University Library and Information Science Student Association (MULISSA) is a student forum to support the overall development of students. MULISSA is in action for more than 35 years. Every year it is constituted with the current batch of students as its members. Department nominated faculty member faculty member would act as its advisor. A student elected committee co-ordinates the overall activities. 'Friday Talk' – a lecture series on every Friday organised by MULISSA – has been ascribed by NAAC as one of the 'best practices' in the campus. The main objectives of MULISSA are: * To enhance academic and professional skills/knowledge among its members * To provide opportunity for enrichment of cultural and other abilities * To foster relationships among faculty, staff, and students As per the tradition, MULISSA for the current academic year, ie., 2007-08, was inaugurated on the Friday 19th October 2007. Prof. B. Nagappa, a retired professor of MyDLIS (Department of Library and Information Science, Mysore) inaugurated the association by lighting the lamp. He spoke at length on libraries and librarianship as a profession. Throughout his lecture he emphasised the values and ethics our profession should follow. In his speech he took the audience to a historical journey from 'clay tablet libraries' to 'digital libraries'. He traced the changes in the nomenclature of librarians from 'keeper of books' to 'librarians' to 'information scientists'. He highlighted the importance of the role of librarians in the society. He said 'smile', 'work' and 'think' are the three qualities of a librarian. He opined that the challenges of present day librarians are very high and the students have to be aware about them in order to prepare themselves for the future challenges in their career. He cautioned the professionals that unless we welcome the changes and learn the art of the game very fast, some body else would take away our jobs. Prof. Nagappa said the four basic principles of Charles Darwin propounded in his book 'On the origin of species' published in 1859 could be construed as the basic principles for success in life. He showed how librarians can interpret the Darwin's principles "Struggle for existence", "Survival of the fittest", "Natural selection" and "Adaptation to the environment" to face the challenges. Dr. Mallinath Kumbar, Chairman and President of MULISSA presided over the function. Dr. N.S. Harinarayana, the faculty advisor for the current batch and Dr. M. Chandrashekara, Reader in the Department were present on the occasion. Students of MLISc managed the whole show. Ms. Umme Asima N.A welcomed the gathering and Ms. Sajana C. proposed vote of thanks. Mr. K. R. Udaya Bhaskar was the master for ceremonies during the programme. -- N.S.

Seminar on "Evaluation of Open Source CMS" at DRTC, Bangalore
by sanjeev sunny 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Indian Statistical Institute *Indian Statistical Institute* *Documentation Research and Training Centre* *8th Mile Mysore Road, R.V. College Post* *Bangalore-560059* Seminar on *Evaluation of Open Source Content Management System: A Comparative Study* Over the last few years, information professionals have started to have a role in the management of websites and intranets. As a result, they gained new skills from their web activities. There are many web-authoring software like FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc which has been used to develop and maintain the websites. But gradually, it became difficult to maintain and update the websites because of their very dynamic nature and a variety of file formats. Content Management Systems evolved as an alternative to such web-authoring tools. A content management system (CMS) offers a way to manage large amount of web-based information that escapes the burden of coding all of the information into each page in HTML by hand. A CMS assists conformity by providing a centrally managed system for displaying the content. Although the rapid proliferation of commercially available content management systems makes it easier to find a vendor that might have right solution, the cost to purchase a commercial CMS application is very high. As an alternative to commercial CMS, open source solutions are a tantalizing option. Though, there are many open source CMS available in public domain, such as Drupal, Joomla, Plone, PHP-Nuke, etc, it is difficult to decide what solution will work best for a particular organization (or library). A comprehensive checklist is required to evaluate these systems. This seminar will focus on the key requirements of the CMS and a checklist for evaluating CMS will be discussed. Two of the popular Open source CMSs namely Joomla! and Drupal will be compared using this checklist. Speaker: Sanjeev K Sunny 2nd Year ADIS All are cordially invited Venue: DRTC, Classroom, Indian Statistical Institute Date: 24th October, 2007 DRTC Time: 2 p.m. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
