by noufal palliparamban 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hello... This is a good stuff for us ....A very good article on OpenID... OpenID is a technology around which there is a growing interest. Recent commitments to OpenID by AOL, Microsoft, and many other Web 2.0 services place it very firmly in the centre of online identity and access management discussions. It seems highly likely to have a significant impact on the services that learners and researchers will use in the future.

Bith date of Dr. SRR:Clarification
by I.R.N.Goudar 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Dear Professional Colleagues, Few colleagues have sought clarification on birth date of Dr. S.R. Ranganathan as the day is being celebrated on different dates. He was born on 9th August 1892 at Shiyali, Tamil Nadu. However in the official records like school it has been mentioned as 12th August. This being the case many associations / institutions celebrate the day on any of these dates. One can also celebrate the day between 9 - 12th as has been practiced by many associations in the country. Govt. of Kranataka has to go by official date and hence has declared August 12th as LIBRARIAN'S DAY. (Dr. I.R.N. Goudar) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. I.R.N.

Although our library has no financial interest, It is also requested that the library which is interested in getting the particular journal issue should bear the postal charges, if necessary a pre-postage imbursement is required.
