News: LEARNING BY LISTENING
by pku＠nic.in 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Dear all, The following story shows the the mode of learnig by listening. I thought it useful to you. regards P K Upadhyay LEARNING BY LISTENING MP3 technology is revolutionizing education, with students shifting from reading books to using iPods and headphones Lindleigh Whetstone wears headphones as she shoves clothes into the washing machine. Her classmate, Stepheno Zollos, wears them as he shops for groceries. An onlooker might assume the teens are listening to the latest top 40 hit, but they're really learning Spanish. Students are now using MP3 players more to listen to downloaded books, textbook study guides and language labs on-the-go. The percentages are still small, according to a recent study by market research firm Harrison Group Inc., but the numbers are growing and companies that make educational materials are banking on them climbing higher.

AICTE norms
by srinivas rao 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Dear all I am working in an engineering library. I have certain doubt regarding AICTE norms . As per AICTE norms, at the time of establishment for three branch with an intake of 240. There should be minimum 4000 volumes in the library, which means 250 titles with four multiple copies and 1000 volumes for basic science. In case the intake is less than 240 do the norms remains same i.e. 4000 volumes or is it different. If so, please give the details. For yearly additions it mentions that they must be increased as one title per student admitted to a branch. if the intake is 60 students for computer branch in first year. Does that mean I have to increase 80 title in computer branch or 80 titles for each SE,TE & BE which makes 240 titles in all. There is nothing mentioned about number of copies to be increased for yearly addition does that mean it is understood that four copies are to be increased. Please specify. In case of increase in intake should we follow norms for yearly addition of books. If anyone have information regards the same. Please cooperate me. Thanking you in anticipation.

SCOPUS
by Enukonda Rama Reddy 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Dear Moderator, Can you please post the following message on the LIS-SERVE Dr. E. Rama Reddy Dear Professional Colleagues, There is good news for scholars. Professionals in India can look at alternative powerful Abstracting, Indexing and Citation Database (SCOPUS) at last. Scopus also includes over 170 highly selected Indian Journals in it and brings visibility to the Indian Journals to the International Scholars. Please see the following observation. In the Charleston Advisor - the latest in a line of comparative reviews by Louise Deis and David Goodman - Scopus is finally awarded full parity with Web of Science. Dismissing previous objections based on apparent "content gaps" in Scopus, Deis and Goodman conclude: "The truly important difference is...that Scopus offers a wider selection of journals and intelligent interface, while WoS offers a much longer selection of years". The full article can be gotten from Update on Scopus and Web of Science (December 2006) Even more striking are the findings of Michael Norris and Charles Oppenheim in the Journal of Infometrics. Reviewing "alternatives to WoS" in the key area of social sciences, the authors state clearly: "Scopus offers the best coverage from amongst these databases and could be used as an alternative to Web of Science as a tool to evaluate the research impact in the social sciences." http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.joi.2006.12.001 For more information Please contact: p.kumar(a)elsevier.com Dr. E.

An Open Access Reader
by Subbiah Arunachalam 10 Feb '07

Friends: Here is a collection of articles on open access you may find useful. http://ictlogy.net/20070205-a-reader-on-open-access-for-development/ Arun [Subbiah arunachalam] ------------------------ A Reader on Open Access for Development By Ismael Peña-López Average reading time 3'18 minutes Filed under: ICT4D | Open Access The debate of Open Access is really hot hottest, Id dare say as benefits from open science, self-publishing and self-archiving become clearer and clearer and, on the other side, there are new and imaginative solutions or, at least, attempts to deal with the (a) inevitable (though downsizeable) costs of publishing and (b) the benefits of peer review, the quintessence of scientific publishing. While the balance among costs and benefits is a matter of arguments in the developed countries and this is why we still have a debate and not a clear direction to head towards , the benefits side of open access seems to gain weight when the scales are placed on developing countries, especially when open access appears to be a perfect second best for a lacking (supposed) optimum: renowned international journals dealing with areas of knowledge that interest developing countries (and people doing science in those issues) and at an acceptable cost for their standards. I here present a gathering a reader? of selected articles that should allow the reader to get a rough picture of the subject of Open Access for Development.

Counselors receive annual training in both state and federal tax preparation in January and must pass an open book test. Counselors give a minimum of four hours per week at an AARP Tax-Aide site. Some counselors provide free electronic filing of state and federal returns as well. Limited shut-in service is available in some areas. Volunteers needed for publicity, technology and administrative positions as well. "I have recommended having their taxes done this way to several of my friends," Alice Clapp of Bossier City said. "My husband Webster and I have had ours done this way for years." Clapp said that since the workshop is held at the library she and her husband just pick up a book, take a seat and wait their turn. "I would recommend having their taxes done here to anyone," she said. "The volunteers are helpful and courteous to everyone." AARP Tax-Aide has provided this service for over 30 years and is affiliated with the Internal Revenue Service. Volunteers are needed throughout the state to replace and augment our existing volunteers. Previous tax experience is not necessary. Other positions for recruiting, publicity, technology and other areas are also needed. According to AARP District Coordinator Donna Davis more than 2,100 residents took advantage of the tax assistance last year. =============== Source URL: http://www.nwlanews.com/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=2420&Itemid=56 -- Dr P Vyasamoorthy, Society for Serving Seniors 30, Gruhalakshmi Colony, Secunderabad 500015 Phone 27846631 19 You may borrow a book and read it too! -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
