A talk by Imma Subirats of FAO on E-LIS (fwd)
by Francis Jayakanth 20 Feb '07

20 Feb '07

Imma Subirats Coll, an information management specialist at the Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO of the United Nations, http://www.fao.org/, Coordinator of E-LIS, E-prints in Library and Information Science URL: http://eprints.rclis.org/ will share her experiences in managing the E-LIS, world's largest open access archive for LIS. You are invited for the talk. Date: Saturday, 24 Feruary, 2007 Time: 11 AM Vanue: NCSI Seminar Hall, IISc, Bangalore For more details about the speaker, please visit: http://openlib.org/home/subirats/ [Abstract] E-LIS is an open access archive for library and information science. With over 5,100 documents as of February 2007, E-LIS is the world's largest archive for LIS. Over half the documents in E-LIS are peer-reviewed. E-LIS is particularly strong in English and Spanish language documents, but supports over 22 languages. With this multilingual support and a global team of volunteer editors, E-LIS has significant diversity in content, an advantage over traditional, english-based LIS resources. Not surprising, this tool designed by and for librarians features robust and user-friendly search options. Lack of phrase searching, and pointing to a cross-archiving searching tool no longer supported when much better options are available, are identified as areas for improvement.

The manual is useful only for those who are familiar with creation of Winisis database with linked fulltext documents. (The contents in this manual are dealt with in the Dr John Rose's guide available in Internet. But we have excluded "as is" conversion of Winisis dabase to greenstone to make it simple).

============================================================================ Kindly Confirm your Participation through Email please ============================================================================ DELNET - Developing Library Network and British Council, New Delhi cordially invites you to a lecture on TOWARDS A SCIENCE OF THE WEB by Prof. Wendy Hall Head, School of Electronics and Computer Science University of Southampton. U. K on Friday, February 23, 2007 at 3:30 p.m. at DELNET, J. N. U Campus (Across Hotel Grand, Vasant Kunj) Nelson Mandela Road, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi-110070 Dr (Mrs) Neeta Verma Sr Technical Director National Informatics Centre Ministry of Communications & Inf. Tech., Govt. of India, New Delhi has kindly agreed to preside over Tea : 3:00 P.M. RSVP : 32471010 Wendy Hall is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southampton in the UK and is currently the Head of the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS). She was the founding Head of the Intelligence, Agents, Multimedia (IAM) Research Group in ECS. She has published over 350 papers in areas such as hypermedia, multimedia, digital libraries, and Web technologies. She is currently senior Vice President of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Vice President of the ACM and is a Past President of the British Computer Society (2003-04). She is a member of the Prime Minister's Council for Science and Technology, a member of the Executive Committee of UKCRC, chair of the new BCS Women's Forum an a non-executive Director of several companies and charitable trusts. She is the Chair of the Advisory Board of the new company, Garlik Limited.She was also recently appointed as a founding member of the Scientific Council of the European Research Council.

She is also a Fellow of the British Computer Society, the Institute of Engineering and Technology (formerly the IEE) and the City and Guilds of London Institute. She was recently awarded the 2006 Anita Borg Award for Technical Leadership. In her talk "Towards a science of the Web", Dr Wendy Hall will discuss how hypertext visionaries foresaw a richly inter-linked global information network and how the Web provided the infrastructure to enable those ideas to become reality but strangely devoid of links. She will explain the development of the Semantic Web which promises a richly linked future and will enable more intelligent information retrieval. She will look at how the Web evolved from its early simple incarnation to the massive global information structure it is today, and how search engines enable us to make sense of this very complex environment. There is a growing realization among many researchers that if we want to model the Web and understand its future trajectory; if we want to understand the architectural principles that have provided for its growth and the applications they enable; and if we want to be sure that it supports the basic social values of trustworthiness, privacy, and respect for social boundaries, then we must chart out a research agenda that targets the Web as a primary focus of attention. This is Web Science and the presentation will finish with a discussion of the emergence of this exciting new discipline. _______________________________________________________________________________ Sangeeta Kaul Network Manager DELNET-Developing Library Network JNU Campus Nelson Mandela Road Vasant Kunj New Delhi-110070 Tel: 91-11-32471010, 32471002, 32471011 Email: sangs(a)delnet.ren.nic.in, sangskaul2003(a)yahoo.co.in Web : www.delnet.nic.in ________________________________________________________________________________
