by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Dear Friends Please see the news quoted below. In India too Finance Ministry has a plan to train a large number of Bcom graduates to help assessees file IT returns. Will any library come forward to provide space as an extension activity? Vyasamoorthy ==================== Library offers tax return assistance Written by Theresa Gardner Tuesday, 06 February 2007 It's that time of the year again, time to gather up a years worth of receipts and file income tax returns. Area seniors and low to moderate income individuals can receive assistance at no cost with the task by going to one of four locations. Once again the American Association of Retired Persons has set up with site to assist those in need with their taxes paying special attention to those 60 and over. They will be at the Bossier Central Library, located at 22206 Beckett Street in Bossier City, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., Highland Center at 520 Olive Street in Shreveport on Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. until 2 p.m., Broadmoor Library paper site, 1212 Captain Shreve Dr. in Shreveport on Tuesday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. and Southern Hills Recreation Center at 1002 Bert Kouns Industrial Loop in Shreveport on from Tuesday through Thursday from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. Volunteer tax counselors assist people in preparing their tax returns and answer tax questions from Feb. 1 to Apr 15. 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.

Construction of Asia's biggest Book Mall begins in Kolkata
by manisha g 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Respected All Construction of Asia's biggest Book Mall begins in Kolkata Source : http://www.htcricket.com/news/181_1917434,000600010003.htm The complications and litigations over rehabilitation and compensation package settled, the decks are finally cleared for the construction of Asia's biggest Book Mall - Varna Parichay - from Polia Boisakh at the site where once stood the College Street Market. A dream of book-loving Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, the world-class Book Mall with a state-of-the-art design, ambience and facilities for the bookworms would be completed by the Bengal Shelter Housing Development Limited in the next 24 months. Inspired by the sprawling 5-lakh sq ft Sitan Book Mall at Peking in China, the mammoth Kolkata Book Mall would be spread over 15-lakh sq ft in its seven-floor structure minus the basement. The Book Mall will also have attached to it a six-floor Multi-Level Car Parking facility that would accommodate 600 cars at a time. Designed by the world famous architect Hafeez Contractor, the Book Mall is a unique blend of Indo-Saracenic and Colonial architecture with that of the modern times. Special attention has been given to keep the heritage of the area in focus while designing the structure. "We have not seen anything like this before in Mall architecture, in terms of design both inside and outside. Once completed, this will be one of the best booklovers destinations in the world. So far, the world doesn't have any Book Mall so huge in proportions," said Managing Director Bengal Shelter Housing Development Limited Samar Nag. While the ground and the first floor of the building would be set aside for the rehabilitation of the College Street Market shopkeepers, the 2nd to 7th floor of the Book Mall would house publishers and publication division, book mart, book binders' corner, food court, multiplex, coffee house and an open-air (Mukta Angan) cultural arena, where literary events like book reading and book releases would be held throughout the year. The Book Mall will have 40 life-size sculptures of the world-renowned litterateurs made by their respective countries. "For instance, we plan to get Socrates from Athens, Shakespeare from London, Maupassant from Paris, Nazrul Islam from Bangladesh, etc. What's more, in the open-air complex, we will also have a Monmart (as in Paris) where the painters can sit and draw and also exhibit their paintings to the visitors," said Samar Nag. A special section is being created to accommodate the Indian and foreign publishers under one roof in this Book Mall. Sources said, publishers from Delhi and Mumbai have already booked spaces. And international publishing houses like Mark Taylor, Crosswords, Landmark, Penguin, etc., have also booked spaces inside the mall. "There will be special corners for children and little magazine publishers and sellers. And an interesting concept is the Monmart Gallery that will be created along the staircase to give the booklovers the idea about the new releases that are available in the Book Mall and in which stall. This will be in addition to the computer scrolling that would be available for the visitors. And last but not the least is the monthly bulletin of the Book Mall with the itinerary of all the events and releases," said Samar Nag. According to estimates, Rs 158 crore would be spent to put up the Varna Parichay at College Street. To be fully operational within 30 months, Bengal Shelter MD Samar Nag would lead the management to operate this Book Mall. "I will be conductor and get others to orchestrate this den of book lovers. And in selecting the team we will focus on people madly in love with books. Because unless passionate, it would impossible to run this mad book factory," said Samar Nag.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Digital Library Software

Dear Sh. Rajiva, Thanks for the query, though it's a pretty complex one. We have now many open source softwares in vogue (Greenstone, EPrints and DSpace etc.) in addition to the WinISIS/GENISIS applications. Greenstone, DSpace and EPrints are later additions to cutting edge DL solutions. Each of these software bring along with them excellent feature sets and sometimes unique facilities to the user community. And they all have worldwide acceptance too. Greenstone (http://greenstone.org) is a general purpose digital library software, an initiative from the New Zealand digital library project, and the Dept. of Computer Science at the University of Waikato New Zealand. You can get most of the support for Greenstone from the above site as well as the South Asia Support site at http://greenstonesupport.iimk.ac.in. DSpace (http://www.dspace.org) is a collaborative effort of the MIT and the HP Labs, and EPrints (http://www.eprints.org) comes from the University of Southampton, UK. Both these are also digital library software applications with more focus on building open access Institutional Repositories. So, to answer your question as to which is the best software for a University Library, I will say all are, and the same time, depending on your objectives, requirements, applications, specifications etc. just to mention a few. You will be the best judge, or a team of professionals involving the librarians as well as IT professionals in your University could look at these softwares and then zero in on to one. I would also encourage you to read the article 'StoneD' appeared in DLib Magazine September 2005 (http://www.dlib.org) authored by the Chief Architects of both Greenstone and DSpace.
