Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 09:18:46 +0530 From: "Nellameghan, A" <anm2002(a)vsnl.net> Dear Dr. Sukhdev Singh: We are glad that you appreciate the effort taken on open access to Dr.SRR's works and other information sources related to him. The Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS) has given permission to dLIST to digitize Dr.SRR's books and make them accessible to users. The first book taken up is the Five Laws of Library Science. After preliminary tests, other books will be taken up. Kindly note that the contacts with and permission given to dLIST (Prof. Anita Coleman) precedes the meeting of Dr.Raghavan, Dr. Prasad, Prof Arunachalam at Mr. Satyanarayana's daughters wedding date. Perhaps you are aware that Anita Coleman of the Univ. of Arizona, who initiated the Dr SRR project was a student of Dr. Raghavan and that was connection as to how it all started. The other project is a joint effort of SRELS and the ISI Library, Bangalore. (Dr. Krishnamurthy). Best regards Sincerely A. Neelameghan -----------Original message follows-------------------- Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 11:51:37 +0530 From: Sukhdev Singh <esukhdev(a)gmail.com> I can predict that people would be citing Dr. Ranganathan's Online works more often now. People working in non-LIS areas will also discover by "googling" that ideas on which they are working now were already in the minds of Dr. Ranganathan. {truncated]

Agricultural Statistics
by Tanika Chakraborty 11 Jul '06

11 Jul '06

Dear Friends, I am a doctoral researcher at Washington University, St Louis. My area of interest is development economics with emphasis on technoIogy for agriculture. For the purpose of my research, I am looking for district wise agricultural statistics of India 1998 onwards to the latest year available. I checked the Databook on Agricultural Resources at IASRI website which lists data on yields, production and several other information on different variables. The data are mainly time series and in some cases state wise data are also available. I also checked The Statistical Abstracts that are available online at http://mospi.nic.in/cso_rept_pubn.htm are given 2002 onwards and state wise. I am looking for the same data at the district level which I think are published in the annual Statistical Abstracts. Online, I could only find the Season and Crop report for the districts of Tamil Nadu that are listed at http://www.tn.gov.in/crop/ and I need the same data for the all other states from 1998 onwards. Can anyone tell me from where and how to get those statistics? Thanks in advance, Tanika. Dear Friends, I am a doctoral researcher at Washington University, St Louis.

Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2006 11:51:37 +0530 From: Sukhdev Singh <esukhdev(a)gmail.com> I can predict that people would be citing Dr. Ranganathan's Online works more often now. People working in non-LIS areas will also discover by "googling" that ideas on which they are working now were already in the minds of Dr. Ranganathan. In my view - "Open Access" of this Internet Age is actually "First Law" of Dr Ranganathan's times.

Are You Googling A Lot?

The words " Google and Googling" take place in the 11th edition of the `Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary'. Read more from EFY News network. Are You Googling A Lot? Friday, July 07, 2006 EFY News Network New Delhi: Now, instead of saying I am searching something, you can say `I am googling it'. The word `Google' has made an entry into the dictionary as a verb. But if you spend a lot of time on your computer, you will be called a mouse potato. America's first dictionary -- Noah Webster's A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language -- has included fresh words that have now become part of day-to-day conversation. Google and Googling will be included in the 11th edition of the `Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary' to be published later this year. But this achievement worries Google that they might lose their exclusive branding if it becomes a part of language. Similar concerns were raised by companies like Xerox Corp. and Coca-Cola Co. Merriam-Webster's team of editors adds new words and phrases from the fields of science, technology, pop culture and industry after months of poring over books, magazines and even food labels. In addition to that, some other new words such as ringtones (changeable incoming cellphone call signals) and spyware (software installed in a computer to surreptitiously track a user's activities) come from the world of technology, while biodiesel and avian influenza came from the world of science. "They are not tracking verbal language. They are looking for evidence that words have become assimilated into the written English language," said Arthur Bicknell, senior publicist with Merriam-Webster.
