Google Notebook
by Sukhdev Singh 16 May '06

16 May '06

Google Notebook is up now. It works - as I expected - like clipmarks but in a much cool manner. Moreover, Google Search Engine has been leveraged in a good fashion. Installation is very simple - you need a Google Account ( your gmail account will do ). In mine case as soon as I logged in, It asked for downloading a Firefox extension - which was done in seconds. Next time when Firefox was opened, it had a small Notebook icon towards the right bottom corner. Working with it is Simple - mark anything in your Firebox / Browser and click -> notebook icon -> Add Note. You are done. While searching with Google, it shows - "Note this" hypertext under each hit. < http://sukhdev.blogspot.com/2006/05/google-notebook-up.html > --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. http://openmed.nic.in

16 May '06

Dear Professional Collegues, Can anybody clarify about open source journals? According to me, these are free journals accessible online. But, I found that, in this catagory from a networking association, for a perticular open source journal, to access full article, they were asking user name & password. Unless we pay and get this, we cannot access. Delnet as this Directory of open source journals. Here I found this problem. I am in confusion. Pl clarify.

Management and Biotechnology Journals
by Mailing List Manager 16 May '06

16 May '06

Date: 16 May 2006 05:29:01 -0000 From: Sheetal Tank <sheetal_tank(a)rediffmail.com> I am the librarian of Atmiya Institute of Technology and Science, Rajkot which is affiliated to Saurashtra University and presently undergoing the accredition process for its courses. We are about to start with the department of Management and Biotechnology engineering. As per the norms of AICTE we are supposed to subscribe to 30 Journals in Management and approx 12 journals in Biotechnology engineering. I had downloaded the list of journals subscribed by IIM A and also other management institutes but unfortunately i was not given the entire details of the cost of subscription. i had asked for the Title of the Journal/ Magazine and its cost of subscription. As many of them are buying these journals under consortia. thus they do not want to disclose the price. And in the field of Biotechnology it is very difficult to decide as there are no much sources of information available for me. I tried searching on the Net. But due to the time constraint I am not able to get a good list which is economic as well as qualitative. Thus if any body can provide me a list for these two fields I will be able to do justice for the institute. Regards, Sheetal D. Tank Librarian

Free online access to nearly 200 years of medical research
by Subbiah Arunachalam 12 May '06

12 May '06

Free online access to nearly 200 years of medical research 11 May 2006 Complete back issues covering nearly 200 years of historically significant biomedical journals are being made freely available online as a result of a landmark project launched today at the Wellcome Trust. On completion, the back files project will deliver over three million pages of medical journals free to anyone through standard search tools such as PubMed and Google. The initiative was developed through a partnership between the Wellcome Trust, JISC, the US National Library of Medicine (NLM) and a number of medical journal publishers. The archive, will contain a number of discoveries which have changed the face of medicine, including: a.. Sir Alexander Fleming's discovery of the use of penicillin to fight bacterial infections. British Journal of Experimental Pathology, 1929 (continued as the International Journal of Experimental Pathology) b.. Sir Richard Doll's groundbreaking study that confirmed that smoking was a "major cause" of lung cancer. BMJ, 1954 c.. Walter Reed's paper that proved that yellow fever is transmitted by mosquitoes. Journal of Hygiene, 1902 (continued as Epidemiology and Infection) d.. Kenneth Burton's classic and highly cited "methods" paper that provided a standard way of assaying DNA concentration in a solution using diphenylamine. Biochemical Journal, 1956 (online now) e.. Hodgkin's and Huxley's Nobel-prize winning paper on ionic theory of the nerve impulse. This work was the foundation for thousands of subsequent studies of electrical signalling in the brain and has been useful for understanding the origins of many disorders - such as multiple sclerosis, muscle myotonias, and heart arrhythmias - that result from defects in electrical signalling. Journal of Physiology, 1952 (online now) f.. Frederick Treves 1888 paper in which he described the first operation on an inflamed appendix. On publication, the paper was not initially well received as surgical intervention was discouraged in such cases. Seven years later this became the accepted practice. Medico-Chirurgical Transactions, 1888, (continued as the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine) g.. Arunlakshana and Schild's 1959 paper on the characteristics of drug binding to receptor sites. Using the approach articulated in this paper the authors showed, for example, that the histamine receptors in various guinea pig and human tissues were the same. British Journal of Pharmacology, 1959 h.. Participating publishers have also agreed to continue to deposit current content of their journals into this archive. They will be freely available after an embargo period - a maximum of one year for all research papers. In addition to the faithful replication of every published page, the archive provides a number of innovative, value-added functions, including links from references to full text, high resolution images, full text searching across the entire archive, and links from the original article to corrections and retractions and vice-versa. Director of the Wellcome Trust, Dr Mark Walport, said: "This growing collection will be of lasting benefit to researchers, practitioners and medical historians worldwide. It will provide access to important scientific literature from the past, free of charge, to anyone in the world with internet access." JISC's Executive Secretary, Dr Malcolm Read, said: "This archive and its commitment to free and open access to the outputs of scientific research demonstrates the value of collaboration between funding bodies, publishers and the academic and research communities. JISC is delighted to have worked closely with the Wellcome Trust and the National Library of Medicine on what is an impressive and important resource." Dr. Donald A.B. Lindberg, Director of the National Library of Medicine said: "The importance of this archive is realized every day - our studies show that researchers and authors whose articles appear in PubMed Central are read and cited hundreds of times more than they were in their original print format. PubMed Central has greatly benefited from the journal content and funding contributions made possible by the Wellcome Library and JISC." The backfiles archive can be accessed free of charge through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), full-text, life sciences repository PubMed Central (PMC). Journals will be added to the archive assoon as they are digitised. PubMed citations are added to that database when the archive is complete. Further information about this project can be found at: Medical Journals Backile Project This project is one of six digitisation projects being managed by JISC with funding from HEFCE (Higher Education Funding Council for England). The JISC programme represents a total investment of some £10m in the digitisation of high-quality online content, including sound, moving pictures, newspapers, census data, journals and parliamentary papers for use by the UK further and higher education communities.

JISC - the Joint Information Systems Committee - is a joint committee of the UK further and higher education funding bodies and is responsible for supporting the innovative use of information and communication technology (ICT) to support learning, teaching, and research. It is best known for providing the JANET network, a range of support, content and advisory services, and a portfolio of high-quality resources. 3. The Wellcome Trust is the most diverse biomedical research charity in the world, spending about £450 million every year both in the UK and internationally to support and promote research that will improve the health of humans and animals. The Trust was established under the will of Sir Henry Wellcome, and is funded from a private endowment, which is managed with long-term stability and growth in mind. The Wellcome Library is one of the world's greatest collections for the study of the history of medicine. The print, manuscript audio, film, pictorial and digital collections are a national treasure and an unrivalled intellectual resource. See: Wellcome Library The Wellcome Trust was awarded the first SPARC Europe Award for Outstanding Achievements in Scholarly Communications by SPARC Europe (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition), for its work on open access. SPARC Europe represents over 100 European research-led university libraries from 14 European countries. 4. National Library of Medicine (NLM), on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, is the world's largest medical library. The Library collects materials in all areas of biomedicine and health care, as well as works on biomedical aspects of technology, the humanities, and the physical, life, and social sciences. The collections stand at more than 8 million items--books, journals, technical reports, manuscripts, microfilms, photographs and images. Housed within the Library is one of the world's finest medical history collections of old and rare medical works. The Library's collection may be consulted in the reading room or requested on interlibrary loan. For 125 years, the Library published the Index Medicus®, a monthly subject/author guide to articles in 4000 journals. This information, and much more, is today available in PubMed®, freely accessible via the World Wide Web. PubMed has more than 16 million MEDLINE journal article references and abstracts going back to the mid-1960s with another 1.5 million references back to the early 1950s.

Reminder NCSI-NET Meeting
by Nandhan Ravi 12 May '06

12 May '06

Dear All , The next NCSI-NET meeting will be held on Saturday, May 13th 2006. The meeting will commence with a talk. All are cordially invited for the talk. About the talk - Speaker: Dr. Sudhakar Varanasi, Senior Vice President, Satyam Computer Services Topic: Putting head and heart together: Technology in the service of Society: A case study of emergency services in Andhra Pradesh Time: 10-30 AM. Venue: Seminar Hall, NCSI, IISc, Bangalore Abstract: In India, about two lakh people face medical emergencies every day. Accidents at homes, workplaces and on roads happen quite frequently along with other medical, police and fire-related emergencies. The support systems required to deal with these emergencies in the society virtually do not exist in India. When an emergency occurs, we need a rapid action support system to come into force to bail the victims out of the imminent threat of loss of life or property. A systematic approach to providing total support to the victims of emergencies requires the integration of three phases (Sense, Reach and Care). A comprehensive emergency response system on the lines of 9.1.1 in the US and 112 in the EU was developed in the state of Andhra Pradesh by EMRI, a non-profit society that works on the PPP (public private partnership) model. Technology used in this project includes Computer Telephony Integration, Voice Loggers, GIS / Maps, GPS / AVLT, Mobile communications, e-learning etc. The EMRI project went live on Aug 15, 2005 and is now operational in 18 cities/towns in AP, covering about 13 million people, with an excellent support from the Government. The number of lives saved in exceeded 2000 during the past 9 months. The lessons learnt, the confidence gained and the future plans in this project will be shared during this presentation.

So Is Internet evolving into a Digital Library?
by Sukhdev Singh 12 May '06

12 May '06

[ A hyperlinked version of is post is available from the following link: http://sukhdev.blogspot.com/2006/05/is-internet-evolving-into-digital.html ] Terry Kuny and Gary Cleveland in their article "The Digital Library: Myths and Challenges" IFLA journal 1998 24 (2)7347 had rejected Internet as Digital Library. They regarded it a myth to consider it digital library. As a bookstore cannot be called a Library in the same manner Internet providing access to huge information resources cannot considered as a Library. "Finding information is difficult, the quality of the information is quite variable, and reliable, professional assistance for the confused and lost is lacking". I have been keenly observing in past few years the emergence of a trend to organize the Internet (WEB) resources so that these are useful to the potential users. Yahoo was probably the first popular tool to hand pick and organize information resources into categories. Then came the voluntary efforts to create an Open Directory (Open Directory Project). Yet another landmark I consider is the emergence of social tagging platforms like Del.icio.us for bookmaking and Flickr to share Photos. Interestingly Nature Publishing Group produced Open Source Software – Connotea and a free site to "help researchers and clinicians manage and share information". It handles academic references far better than Del.icio.us. Now only days back Goggle launched Google Co-op. Here you can categorize the URLs in way you know better and people can subscribe to your categorization. This means that now you as a librarian can categorize and organization the web resources in a manner that could be useful for your patrons!! Well it is expected that they subscribe to your categories while searching. And this has started happening - Just noted that [US] National Library of Medicine is a major contributor. So Is Internet evolving into a Digital Library? --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. http://openmed.nic.in

on plagiarism

Here is a wonderful mathematician's song about plagiarism by Tom Lehrer ---------------------------- Tom Lehrer on Plagiarism Who made me the genius I am today, The mathematician that others all quote? Who's the professor that made me that way, The greatest that ever got chalk on his coat? One man deserves the credit, One man deserves the blame, and Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name. Oy! Nicolai Ivanovich Lobache... I am never forget the day I first meet the great Lobachevsky. In one word he told me secret of success in mathematics: Plagiarize! Plagiarize, Let no one else's work evade your eyes, Remember why the good Lord made your eyes, So don't shade your eyes, But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize... Only be sure always to call it please, "research". And ever since I meet this man my life is not the same, And Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name. Oy! Nicolai Ivanovich Lobache... I am never forget the day I am given first original paper to write. It was on Analytic and Algebraic Topology of Locally Euclidean Metrization of Infinitely Differentiable Riemannian Manifold. Bozhe moi! This I know from nothing.2 But I think of great Lobachevsky and I get idea - haha! I have a friend in Minsk, Who has a friend in Pinsk, Whose friend in Omsk Has friend in Tomsk With friend in Akmolinsk. His friend in Alexandrovsk Has friend in Petropavlovsk, Whose friend somehow Is solving now The problem in Dnepropetrovsk. And when his work is done - Haha! - begins the fun. >From Dnepropetrovsk To Petropavlovsk, By way of Iliysk, And Novorossiysk, To Alexandrovsk to Akmolinsk To Tomsk to Omsk To Pinsk to Minsk To me the news will run, Yes, to me the news will run! And then I write By morning, night, And afternoon, And pretty soon My name in Dnepropetrovsk is cursed, When he finds out I published first! And who made me a big success And brought me wealth and fame? Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name. Oy! Nicolai Ivanovich Lobache... I am never forget the day my first book is published. Every chapter I stole from somewhere else. Index I copy from old Vladivostok telephone directory. This book, this book was sensational!3 Pravda - ah, Pravda - Pravda said: "Zhil byl korol' kogda-to, Pri njom blokha zhila" ("It stinks"). 4 But Izvestia! Izvestia said: "Ya idu kuda sam tzar' peshkom hodil" ("It stinks"). 5 Metro-Goldwyn-Moskva bought the movie rights for six million rubles, Changing title to 'The Eternal Triangle', With Brigitte Bardot playing part of hypotenuse.6 And who deserves the credit? And who deserves the blame? Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name. Oy! ------------------------------- Did you enjoy reading this ? lots more can be read just visit the site http://www.casualhacker.net/tom.lehrer/revisited.html N K Dash Librarian Silicon Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar, Orissa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Whose Copyright
by Jeetender Chandna 10 May '06

10 May '06

Dear Friends We all know that a war is on --> publishers vs producers. The first thing that comes to my mind - when speaking of copyright - public funded agencies should NOT be permitted to hold any copyright. The movement of Creative Commons Licenses <http://creativecommons.org> is a great move forward towards liberating information for the common good. The Conference call for papers <http://www.icdim.org/submission.asp> seems to be a Case-in-point for the above statements. By what right does a publisher, even if they sponsor, become copyright holders of infornation produced in the public domain. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st International Conference on Digital Information Management (ICDIM) December 06-08, 2006 Christ College, Bangalore, India ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The copyright document by IEEE states: "4. In the case of a Work performed under a U.S. Government contract or grant, the IEEE recognizes that the U.S. Government has royalty-free permission to reproduce all or portions of the Work, and to authorize others to do so, for official U.S. Government purposes only, if the contract/grant so requires." NOW, this is for a conference to be held in INDIA. A word from the organisers would be very much welcome in this regard. To be impertinent, I would frankly say that by and large our group of librarians and library leaders are largely a group of voyeurs and reporters. What INDIA needs is : ACTIVISTS Secondly, in this age of video-conferencing and the all powerful internet, it seems such a waste of National Resources, that is to conduct in-person conferences. If we have to say something, we should organise local video-conf units, thereby eliminating expensive travel etc. Fringe benefits could be obtained by live streaming of the speaker which could be accessed by many more people. Yes, another fringe would be the feasibiity of attending only sessions of interest to oneself. Of late, most of us have, I presume, come to believe that the digital road is the path of the future. So why are we so tardy in its implementation. -- Regards Granthpal ---------------------------------------- Jeetender Chandna aka Vicky aka Granthpal Esha News Monitoring Services Pvt Ltd 10th Floor, Krushal Commercial Complex Chembur (W) Mumbai 400089 Tel: (91-22) 3245 2861 Email: granthpal(a)gmail.com
