What started as a common library in 1995 has, as on date, built up a vast collection of information dockets comprising of 23,500 reference books, 150 Journals/ Magazines, 35 National Newspapers, and various CD-ROMs. Added to this are the networked resources of DELNET, thus enabling students and users to access to the networked resources of the DELNET as well as to the internationally acclaimed online database services. Connecting to this vast reservoir of Data and information resources flowing through our Fiber and Wi-Fi 24x7 DEMPI Data Network, every student laptop and the academia, make our campus one of the highest organized modern learning system in Delhi. Currently in order to shear our experience and further buildup on our effort, our knowledge and Learning Resource Centre (Central Library) has taken the initiative to organize and national convention on developing a "Roadmap for Modernization of Library and information Centers in the Emerging Knowledge Era" on 19th � 20th March, 2007 at New Delhi under the guidance of the Indian Library Association of India President Dr. Muttayya Koganuramath, who is also the University Librarian, Central Library , Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. He has agreed to be the Patron of the EMPI Digital Library National Convention -2007. A Comprehensive brochure with the objection, theme, sub -themes and other details is enclosed for ready reference along with the registration form. Further to reach globally we have hosted a domain http://www.empidlnc.orgwith 2GB reserve space. This website will delicately disseminate all the conventional information to scholars and others. The prime objectives of launching the website are 1. To share and contribute the best expertise knowledge about implementing, governing and regulating digital library processes and practices, and make a platform to announce various EMPI training and educational activities on future Knowledge & Learning Resource Centres. 2. To provide students, faculty and other practitioners a knowledge base to download and share presentations (PPT), abstracts, and extended abstracts of the papers presented in various conventions and fulfilling the objective of serving with conviction. Your participation in the EMPI Digital Library National Convention-2007 and sharing of experience will, more than providing a platform for building of mutual synergies, help in development the preferred roadmap to guide the Indian information Centers (Libraries) to support the efforts of all our countrymen to make India a top class Knowledge society. Please do send us confirmation about your joining us in this endeavor. In case of your inability to participate you may like to inform and persuade your colleagues and friends to join us in the proposed National Convention With best wishes, Your sincerely (Teena Sehgal) -- EMPI Digital Library National Convention - 2007 Knowledge & Learning Resource Centre EMPI Business School CSKM Educational Complex Satbari, Chattarpur New Delhi - 110074 Website:www.empidlnc.org email:empidlnc2007@gmail.com

Wikipedia Founder to Launch Search Engine
by Farooque Shaheen 26 Dec '06

26 Dec '06

The founder of the vastly popular Web encyclopedia Wikipedia is planning on developing Wikiasari, an Internet search engine which will compete with Yahoo and Google. In an interview with The Times of London, Jimmy Wales mentioned that his web site search engine will utilize the same user-based technology that Wikipedia uses. Feeling that Google's computer-based algorithmic searches can be sometimes easily manipulated, Wikiasari hopes that user-based human judgment will be significantly better. Because spammers and commercial ventures are learning and adapting to be able to manipulate Google's search methods, Wikiasari may have a viable alternative search method. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=5454 Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Caritor India Pvt Ltd.

Need for democratizing knowledge
by Mailing List Manager 22 Dec '06

22 Dec '06

Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2006 11:58:53 +0530 From: Subbiah Arunachalam <arun(a)mssrf.res.in> Friends:=0D In the US, there is a growing awareness among scientists, librarians, the g= eneral public and even the Congressmen that all publicly-funded research mu= st be available through open access. The UK, Australia and Europe are not f= ar behind. Ironically, in developing countries where the need for free and = open access to information is much greater, awareness is rather slow in com= ing. Enlightened librarians and other professionals can play a central role= in not only bringing about such awareness but also in making open access a= reality. =0D Open access to knowledge is especially important in the area of medicine an= d even more important in areas such as community health and cost-effective = rural healthcare delivery. The last two days I was listening to some excell= ent talks at the ICICI Knowledge Park sponsored Conference on "Improving Pu= blic Health in India: Need for Innovative Solutions in Healthcare Delivery.= " My friends Abhay and Rani Bang have perfected and IMPLEMENTED a low-cost = method of delivering babies in remote villages and hamlets of Gadchiroli di= strict of Maharashtra with the help of LOCAL WOMEN whom they have trained. = And Mr Amarjit Singh, Commissionar of Health, Government of Gujarat, told u= s about a public-private partnership (between the state government and priv= ate practitioners) that has reduced infant and birth-related mother mortali= ty rates considerably in the first ten months of the programme. Two differe= nt solutions to the same problem. The Bangs' programme is replicated in UP.= The Gujarat programme, which was started as a pilot in five backward distr= icts of the state, is now being expanded to cover the entire state. To be h= onest I have known the Gadchiroli programme for about a year, because Abhay= was featured in Time. Abhay's work was done in India and I live and work i= n India and I am considered a very well-informed person and yet I had to kn= ow his work from Time magazine! I have not heard about the Gujarat governme= nt programme at all till I heard Mr Singh. I am sure that is the case with = most of us including policy makers, bureaucrats, civil societies and doctor= s. =0D There were two talks on diabetes in India. Dr Mohan from Chennai spoke abou= t how his own group of institutions - a money-earning profit-oriented hospi= tal, a research foundation and a charitable arm - is able to deal with poor= patients who cannot afford to get diagnosed in the first place and get tre= ated later on. His team has developed a simple test which includes three or= four questions and a waist measurement to predict diabetes. Dr C S Yajnik = of KEM, Pune, told us that it was adiposity rather than obesity one should = worry about. Although most Indian babies are thinner (and looking weaker) t= han babies born in the UK and Europe, our babies have a much higher body fa= t content. He also told us about the futility of giving high doses of folat= e to pregnant mothers (after a few weeks of the onset of pregnancy); instea= d we should be giving them vitamin B12. Both are excellent research effort= s and more so relevant to India. I am sure both Mohan and Yajnik have publi= shed their work in good international journals and it is more than likely m= any Indian diabetologists and general practitioners do not have access to t= hose journals. =0D Whether it is regular academic/clinical research or it is research aimed at= democratising access to low-cost healthcare delivery, what we need in comm= on is to democratise knowledge - making knowledge reach everyone cocerned. = I am glad that Mr Vaghul and friends who founded the Park called it the ICI= CI KNOWLEDGE Park acknowledging the central role knowledge plays in industr= y, economy, healthcare, agriculture and everything else we do and we need t= o do. =0D Both Vaghul and Dr Nachiket Mor, the chairman of the Steering Committee of = the two-day conference, talked briefly about the reach of the ICICI Bank (a= nd group of companies) in rural India. Thanks to the reach, one could take = the message (and knowledge) to the rural poor. But there is another great c= hallenge. Taking knowledge to the educated elite - the scientists and resea= rchers, policy makers, captains of industry, the professors and professiona= ls, practising doctors. Fortunately, thanks to developments in the area of = Internet and web technologies, that challenge could be met in a cost effect= ive manner. =0D Each research and higher education institution performing research should b= e persuaded to set up what is called an interoperable institutional open ac= cess archive. I will not go into the details now, but will just say that th= e software for setting up such interconnected archive is ABSOLUTELY FREE an= d the expertise is available in India. The Indian Institute of Science, for= example, has its own institutional archive. Every paper Mohan or Yajnik wr= ites cn be deposited in such archives {as full text and metadata} and anyon= e anywhere with an Internet connection can access those papers. Both Amarji= t Singh and Abahy can deposit a writeup on their work for the rest of the w= orld to read. =0D I have made a submission to the National Knowledge Commission and the idea = has been accepted and I hope will be implemented eventually. I suggest that= ICICI Knowledge Park and those who attended the Hyderabad Conference need = not wait till the government accepts the idea and acts on it and move ahaed= and facilitate not only setting up such archives but also other initiative= s to democratise knowledge. =0D Best wishes.=0D Subbiah Arunachalam=0D
