New book release: 'The Mandovi and Zuari Estuaries'
by Murari 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

Dear Colleagues, The Mandovi and Zuari estuaries are coastal-plain, monsoonal estuaries typical of the Indian west coast. The main campus of National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) Goa, India is located on a promontory between the mouths of these two estuaries. This proximity attracted the scientific community to these estuaries, and the availability of funding to study them owing to their being the "lifelines of Goa" has led to their becoming, almost certainly, the best studied estuaries of India. A monograph titled 'The Mandovi and Zuari Estuaries' puts together what is known about these estuaries. The summary has been written in a manner that would appeal to both professionals and amateurs, especially environmental managers and those with special concerns for the environment. An electronic version of the monograph is available on NIO's website (http://www.nio.org) and print copies could be sent for free of cost until they last. Please mail your requests. With warm regards, Murari P Tapaswi National Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula 403 004 Goa, India Phone: 91-(0)832-2450275; Fax: 91-(0)832-2450602 www.nio.org, www.coastalhazards.info, www.mangroveindia.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

IIT - Kharagpur top tech college in India.
by Sandeep Pathak 21 Jun '07

21 Jun '07

IIT-Kharagpur top tech college in India: Survey Wednesday, 20 June , 2007, 08:08 New Delhi: The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, in West Bengal is the top technology and engineering college of the country, edging out IIT-Madras which held the position last year, a survey said on Tuesday. According to the survey by Dataquest, a technology magazine in India, and International Data Corporation (IDC), a US-headquartered research firm, the seven IITs have bagged the top seven positions. IIT-Kharagpur climbed two places to the first slot. The National Institute of Technology (NIT), Warangal, has stormed into the top 10 list for the first time. While IIT-Madras has slipped from the top slot to second position, IIT-Bombay climbed two spots to occupy the third slot. The premier IIT-Delhi had slid to fourth from No 2 last year, while IIT-Roorkee has jumped two places to fifth spot. IIT-Guwahati is ranked sixth, while IIT-Kanpur is surprisingly the last in the rung of IITs at seventh spot. Describing the National Institute of Technology (formerly, Regional Engineering College) Warangal, being in the top 10, the study said that for the "first time, a second-rung school broke into the Top 10 list". It was at number eight, up four notches from last year. While Indian Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad, bagged the ninth spot, Institute of Technology of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) was at 10th spot. Dataquest and IDC had surveyed 117 top technology and engineering colleges of the country. The ranks were awarded based on composite scores arrived on the basis of parameters like placements, infrastructure, academic environment, industry interface and HR perception. The survey found that over one-third of the engineering students from the top 100 engineering colleges were recruited by IT companies in 2007. The number of students employed on campus rose to 87 percent this year against 72 percent last year. The survey underlined the growth of second-tier engineering schools - six NITs formerly known as Regional Engineering Colleges (REC) have entered the Top 20 list. Of these, NIT-Hamirpur (Himachal Pradesh) showed the most remarkable progress, moving up 14 places to rank 20. The survey attributes the rise of NIT-Hamirpur to a marked improvement in every parameter like increase in the number of IT companies visiting the campus for placements and average number of research papers. NIT-Calicut (Kerala), NIT-Kurukshetra (Haryana) and IIIT-Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) registered the highest growth in terms of companies visiting campuses for placements. Over 22 technology schools have shown a shift of more than 10 positions. Private institutes increased their placement performance to 75 percent from 60 percent last year. The survey found that private institutes are lacking in the number of faculty members with a PhD, which it said was as low as 21 percent compared to NITs (64 percent) and IITs (94 percent). The survey underlined that in 2007 the average annual salary has gone up by 28 percent to Rs 341,000 from Rs 266,000 in 2006. The maximum salary offered by IT companies has increased from Rs 1.5 million per annum last year to Rs 1.8 million this year. - sandeep ---------------------------------------------- S K PATHAK ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (IIT) KHARAGPUR - 721 302 Ph.: 03222-282466 (O) / 282453 (R) Fax: 03222-282431 Web: http://www.library.iitkgp.ernet.in/pathak/skp.htm ---------------------------------------------- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

A few simple guidelines for LIS-Forum etiquette
by Mailing List Admin 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

Dear Member: I would like to draw your attention and also seek your cooperation in ensuring that the following basic guidelines are adhered to while posting a message or taking part in a discussion on the LIS-Forum. I have been wanting to bring this to your attention for a while now but somehow couldn't do so. In fact, I have been writing individually to several members who are active on the list to pay attention to some basic guidelines of any discussion list etiquette. The points mentioned below and a few other points, covering the basic rules and guidelines for our discussion list, will be included in the confirmatory mail that is sent to all new registrations and also in the monthly reminders that the list sends to all the members. This way, the members will be reminded of most essential dos and don'ts of this list. 1. Almost every posting / message meant for distribution is received as multiple parts, which means that such mails contain attachments apart from the actual content. When the mails with such attachments are opened, they will typically appear as shown below, Parts/Attachments: 1.1 OK 33 lines Text (charset: ISO-8859-1) 1.2 Shown 10 lines Text (charset: ISO-8859-1) 2 Shown 4 lines Text ---------------------------------------- Although mails with above type of attachments are harmless, such attachments can be easily avoided by ensuring that your e-mail client software (used for reading and sending e-mails) is set to send mails in plain text. Sending mails in plain text format will reduce the size of the mails. This reduction will be to the extent of about few hundred bytes. However, if you take into consideration that there are close to 3000 members on this list and on an average, 2/3 messages are circulated each working day then the reduction of size of each mail to LIS-Forum even to the extent of few hundred bytes will be quite significant. So, please do ensure that messages meant for LIS-Forum are in plain text format only. Sending mails in plain text format is quite simple. By default, your mail client may be composing messages as color and graphics. This needs to be changed to compose messages as plain text. This change can be done in the general preferences of your mail client. As a policy, mails with non textual attachments (.doc / PDF etc) are discarded. 2. Whenever a discussion takes place, members who are responding to the earlier mails should include only a portion of the mail in their replies and the inclusion should be at the top. This will enable the readers to easily follow the discussion. What is happening now is that the replies come at the top followed by the full length original mail. Many a times the entire digest is included in the replies. This not only makes the discussion difficult to follow but it also increases the size of the mail substantially. 3. Although the forum is meant for discussing issues related to LIS and related fields, occasionally, it could also be used for seeking help / guidance / suggestions from the fellow members. While doing so, please do ensure that sufficient background details provided about the query and adequate effort has been made to find solution for the problem at hand. In other words, the forum should be used only as the last resort. 4. Every posting should include complete signature. Thanks for your cooperation. - Moderator

Do librarians know about bookcrossing? Visit www.bookcrossing.com Do you have a book to dispose off? You leave your book discretely in some public place like a bus, super bazar, theater seat, auto etc Book contains a Label with a registration number got from www.bookcrossing.com. registration number gives all details of the donor/sender/leaver of the book. You pick up such a book left by unknown persons, read it and repeat the exercise. One way to dispose off weeded out books may be through bookcrossing, after other methods are exhausted. -- Dr P Vyasamoorthy, Society for Serving Seniors 30, Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015 Phone 27846631 http://societyforservingseniors.satyamcsr.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
