UGC okays uniform academic calendar
by A. B. NAIKAL 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

UGC okays uniform academic calendar LIFE will soon become easier for students migrating from one college to another or from another university. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has approved a uniform academic calendar for all universities across the country. This would mean that results of all courses will be declared before June and classes for first year students shall commence by the first week of August. The uniform calendar requires every university to ensure that the first year classes for courses begin no later than the first week of August and for students of second year onwards, by no later than the third week of July. This academic calendar will not be applicable for professional courses. The calendar, based on the report of an expert committee comprising M Anandakrishnan, former vice chancellor, Anna University, Chennai; SN Hegde, former vice chancellor, Mysore University and Dayanand Dongaonkar, secretary general, Association of Indian Universities. A flexibility of two weeks may be followed for professional courses in commencement of classes for students of second year and later keeping in view the requirement of project work, summer schools and internships in these programmes. UGC approved the calendar on February 26 and the new regulations have been sent for publication in the Gazette of India to come into force from their date of publication in the official gazette.

Seeking suggestions to Classification Problems
by Shikha Bhowmik 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

Dear LIS Professionals, Can you please give any suggestion regarding my problems of classification? I am now following 20th ED. of DDC, but I like to shift to the 22nd ED. The major areas in which I am facing problems are 570-590. In these areas, the class numbers existing in the 20th ED. are scattered and intermingled in the 21st and 22nd ED.in such a way that if I shift to the new numbers, the other areas are being largely affected, and hence, any 'see also' reference is likely to be impossible to be rendered in the catalogue. But if the newly emerging subject areas are to be taken into account, I must shift to the latest edition. Reclassification may only be the solution, but it is not feasible everytime there is a major change, and as there is a large no. of collections. I am seeking your views and help.

Regarding Deep Web
by kumar gowdappa patil 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Dear Rajashekaran, a. The Deep Web is nothing but the portion of the World Wide Web which has not been indexed by surface search engines such as Google due to technical reasons or due to limitations because of policy matters. Many specialized search tools/search engines exist for exploring the deep web. Once we have found the right search tool/engine, same search strategies can be employed as in the case of general search engines; but the hard part is to find the appropriate deep web search source. For information regarding using surface search engines to find deep web content please visit http://21cif.imsa.edu/tutorials/micro/mm/invisible/index_html?b_start:int=5. b. There is nothing that can be termed as the most popular and useful deep web search engine. There is no Google equivalent in the Deep Web. The index base of deep web search engines is limited and often restricted to specialized databases and other non-html formats such as PDF and PPTs. Further, it seems, the index of each deep web search engine is unique in its own way and therefore it is next to impossible to find a panacea for search problems when it comes to Deep Net. The way left is to identify the appropriate web source/search engine and do search there. For example, for health related information, one can take help of deep search engines such as mammahealth (www.mammahealth.com/) closurelook (www.closerlooksearch.com/) or specialized health databases. However, the following deep web search engines can be tried: i. Direct Search: http://www.freepint.com/gary/direct.htm ii. CompletePlanet http:// www.completeplanet.com iii. Turbo 10: http://turbo10.com iv. Incywincy: http://www.incywincy.com/ A list of such tools/engines can be found at www.trinity.wa.edu.au/plduffyrc/web/invis/invisible.htm Nothing definite can be told about the popularity of deep web search engines because the existence of deep web itself is not known to the majority of the Internet users. c. http://www.llrx.com/features/deepweb.htm and deepwebresearch.blogspot.com/ offer a rich source of links to deep web related topics. The links lead to highly informative sources and cover the best that is available on the WWW about the deep web.
