Writing for the Web: A Primer for Librarians by Eric H. Schnell The most time consuming aspects of managing a library Web service are the creation and maintenance of site documents and assets. Although the organizational structure and contents of a Web site varies from library to library, participants in all library Web projects need to be familiar with the concepts and terminology associated with creating documents and resources for the Web. This document is not an in-depth HTML guide, but is instead a general introduction to Web content creation. Newer technologies are briefly described and references to other resources are provided. This is also an interactive document and provides the reader access to associated resources. check out the fulltext of the book at http://bones.med.ohio-state.edu/eric/papers/primer/toc.html Rupesh Kumar A Department of Library & Information Science Bangalore University a_rupeshkumar(a)yahoo.com http://lislog.blogspot.com http://a.rupeshkumar.googlepages.com --------------------------------- Yahoo!

OA and public libraries in India
by Mailing List Manager 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2006 13:13:44 +0530 From: Subbiah Arunachalam <arun(a)mssrf.res.in> Friends: The 'Open Access' movement is picking up worldwide. As one aspect of the OA movement, many large libraries in the western world, especially in the United States of America, are digitizing their collections and making them available free on the Internet. The latest to join this movement is the University of Wisconsin at Madison. When will we in India start offering books and periodicals in Indian languages - Samskrit, Pali, Tamil, Teleugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Bengali, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarathi, Hindi, Urdu, etc. - for free viewing (and downloading) on the Internet? Do our public libraries have a policy on open access? Should not organizations such as CDAC and HP India, Google India play an active role in digitizing Indian language content available with major libraries? Many universities around the world (including some in China) led by MIT, Cambridge, are making their course material freely available on the Internet under the 'Open Course Ware' project. Some are offering even video files of lectures by eminent teachers. In order to become a knowledge society, India needs to provide such access to high quality university course material. Incidentally, Indians are among the most avid users of the MIT open course ware. Arun Wisconsin joins the Google Library project UW-Madison joins massive Google Book project, a press release from the University of Wisconsin, October 12, 2006. Excerpt: The University of Wisconsin-Madison and Google announced an agreement today to expand access to hundreds of thousands of public and historical books and documents from more than 7.2 million holdings at the UW-Madison Libraries and the Wisconsin Historical Society Library. The university is the eighth library to join Google's ambitious effort to digitize the world's books and make them searchable on Google Book Search. The combined library collections of UW-Madison and the Wisconsin Historical Society comprise one of the largest collections of documents and historical materials to be found in the United States. The collections are ranked 11th in North America by the Association of Research Libraries in Washington, D.C. "Wisconsin is in a position to take a leading role in making the primary documents of U.S. government history freely accessible on the Internet for anyone to find and use," says UW-Madison Provost Patrick Farrell. Adds Edward Van Gemert, interim director of the UW-Madison General Library System: "Whenever possible, the university intends to make the complete content of public documents available on the Internet, including text, images and maps." ... The Wisconsin project will initially focus on library collections that are free of copyright restrictions. Most books published before 1923 and publications of the U.S. government are in the public domain by law....

China forges ahead in patenting
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

Here is an Associated Press news story you might wish to read. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] ------- U.N. Report: Sharp Rise In China Patents POSTED: 7:43 pm EDT October 15, 2006 UPDATED: 7:43 pm EDT October 15, 2006 GENEVA -- Patent filings in China increased by more than six times in a decade, helping the Asian country make a dramatic leap in catching up to the world leaders in patent activity, the U.N. agency that oversees intellectual property said Monday. More than 130,000 applications from Chinese and foreigners were filed with Beijing in 2004, the last year for which figures were available, the World Intellectual Property Organization said. That catapulted China into fifth place in the total number filed, behind Japan, the United States, the European Patent Office and South Korea. Over 65,000 of the applications were from Chinese, a six-fold jump from 1995, WIPO said. About the same number of foreign individuals and companies also applied in China, over seven times more than nine years earlier. Patent filings as a whole only grew at an average rate of 4.75 percent annually during this period, the U.N. agency said. "Patent statistics are increasingly recognized as useful indicators of inventive activity and of technology flows," WIPO said in a 43-page report. The Japanese continue to be the world's greatest patent filers, responsible for four in five of the nearly 450,000 applications in the country during 2004, according to WIPO. They also filed 137,800 with foreign offices, the most of any nationality. The U.S. came in second in applications received, with 403,050, and filings made by American-based inventors in foreign countries, which stood at 124,600. However, U.S. patent authorities received the highest number of applications from abroad, over 167,000, followed by the European office, China and Japan. WIPO said, however, that the distribution of patent filings worldwide "is changing over time, in particular as (South Korea) and China are becoming major industrial economies." "The use of the patent system is growing quickly in the northeast Asian region," the report said. The number of applications received in South Korea almost doubled between 1995 and 2004. Per capita, Koreans were the second most frequent to file for patent protection, behind the Japanese. Americans, Germans and Australians rounded out the top five. - Associated Press Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

US DEVELOPS SOFTWARE THAT COULD TRACK GLOBAL PRESS
by Farooque Shaheen 12 Oct '06

US DEVELOPS SOFTWARE THAT COULD TRACK GLOBAL PRESS Washington, DNA The US Department of Homeland Security plans to develop software that analyses and summarises opinions expressed in articles, providing a possible tool for better monitoring what is written about the United States in the global press. The department says it will spend 2.4 million dollars over the next three years supporting research at three US universities using computer science to analyze human language in texts. "The work is really designed to get information extraction that would help the DHS review statements for sentiments or beliefs contained in statements, and to provide intelligence analysts within DHS," said Homeland Security spokesperson Christophe Kelly. Kelly said the software would offer the department staff "another resource to conduct their work" -- even though the project has raised eyebrows among press freedom advocates. http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1057937 Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Caritor India Pvt Ltd.
