Do we practice what we preach?
by Sukhdev Singh 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

My today's mailbox included two special emails. One contained an attachment of proceeding of an International Conference having about 600 pages. I was very glad to receive it and hurried went through it. But it was the second email which forced my to think – it contained information on availability of another conference proceedings as a priced publication. I am asking myself a number of questions. Why should not the conference proceedings be archived somewhere and available through Open Access? What is the ultimate aim of any conference? Why do authors contribute and participate in such conferences? What are the organizers looking for? Perhaps all this is done to spread and share experiences among the professionals. But then, are there better ways? LIS community from the very beginning had been the champions of "Access to Knowledge". Why can't then the proceeding of every LIS conference be made Open Access through archiving? Aren't their enough LIS Repositories? Or we do not practice what we preach? While I seek answers from my inner self, may I appeal to LIS Conference Organizers – Let the Knowledge Spread through Open Access. --Sukhdev Singh http://groups.yahoo.com/group/oadl/

XML-BASED INTERNET OPERATING SYSTEM (XIOS)
by Farooque Shaheen 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

In the third quarter of 2007, an all-but-unknown Swedish software company (Xcerion) plans to release a new, free operating system that has the potential to radically alter the economics of software development. If successful, it may be able to further erode the power Microsoft derives from control of the desktop, to beat Google at its software-as-a-service play, and to make commodity Linux boxes more viable as a computing platform for the masses. For the past five years, Xcerion has been working on an XML-based Internet operating system (XIOS) that runs inside a Web browser. In a way, XIOS is an abstraction layer that sits atop a true operating system like Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows, just as does Transmedia's Flash-based Glide Next media sharing environment. http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=IUXSK5E33V… Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Caritor India Pvt Ltd.

Conservapedia: How it is different from Wikipedia
by Farooque Shaheen 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

Conservapedia (http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page) was created last November as a project for home-schooled children, based on the Wikipedia concept but without the "liberal bias". According to calculations by the site's owners, "Wikipedia is six times more liberal than the American public". Interestingly, the most viewed item on Conservapedia is Examples of Bias in Wikipedia. Conservapedia's creators claim Wikipedia is "anti-American", "anti-Christian" and "anti-capitalism". http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/10160/1085/ Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Caritor India Pvt Ltd.
