Date: Wed, 6 Apr 2005 13:24:53 +0530 From: Manish Mankad <Manish.Mankad(a)unilever.com> I have some thoughts on the lines of Vasumathi. Well, we can not compare share purchase with information pickup.. if u still insist it to be the same, let us ask an honest question to those who did online share purchase WITHOUT expert advice and how many of them actually lost money bec their knowledge abt the company was superfluous i.e. something similar when u get first few hits on public search engines..If u get it right once does not guarantee anything. Idea is not to impose ourselves but to save the time of the users by giving them relevant info with least of the noise content. Ask any scientist who has filed the patent and has done a prior art search..To find out a seemingly simple concept, device, technique hidden under a mass of literaute is a task in itself. This is in the light of availability of built-in expert systems and full text search capabilities of the databases. The scientists willingly seek Info specialits help in doing so and is not surprising bec failure to detect a similar idea wd mean a huge avoidable expense. -Manish Mankad Information Services Ext: 208/460 Tel: 022 28276208 Hindustan Lever research Centre B.D.

Self-Learning Module on Digitization and Digital Libraries
by Dr. T.B. Rajashekar 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

Dear All *** Apologies for any cross-posting of this message *** FAO has recently released a self-learning module on "Digitization and Digital Libraries". This was developed jointly between FAO and UNESCO with the support of the National Centre for Science Information (NCSI) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). This module is intended to train librarians and other information specialists in the conceptual and practical bases for the digitization of collections, and in the creation and provision of access to digital libraries. This module is part of the Information Management Resource Kit (IMARK) initiative of FAO, which has been developing a series of interactive self-paced learning modules, related to information management since 2001 for delivery on CD-ROM (http://www.fao.org/IMARK/) The first IMARK module on "Management of Electronic Documents", which covers the collection, archiving, management and dissemination of electronic documents and associated images was released in November 2003 and has been received quite well, notably in the Asian region. The "Digitization and Digital Libraries" module provides 31 lessons concerned with the creation and sharing of digital library collections. Lessons cover topics such as copyright issues, electronic formats for text and images, metadata and subject indexing, preservation of digital material as well as a comprehensive overview of the creation and management of digital documents. The module expands upon several of the topics covered in the module "Management of Electronic Documents" mentioned earlier. The 31 lessons (each roughly of 30-40 minutes learning time) are organized in 6 units: Unit 1: Conceptual Overview. Introduces digital libraries and the legal environment within which they operate. Examples from different subject domains are used to demonstrate the use and main features of digital libraries. Unit 2: Electronic Documents and Formats. Describes and provides a technical overview of the various formats of electronic documents, character encoding schemes and encoding scripts, document mark-up, and how to convert between the various formats. Unit 3: Metadata Standards and Subject Indexing. Describes the role of metadata, metadata types, various standards and their application in organizing electronic documents, including the Dublin Core. Introduces the principles and procedures of subject indexing. Unit 4: Creation and Management of Digital Documents. Covers the workflows involved in the creation and management of electronic documents, including the digitization, creation and adaptation of documents for a digital library, issues related to heritage documents. Unit 5: Creation and Sharing of Digital Libraries. Covers the processes and resources required for planning, implementing and managing a digital library project. Unit 6: Example of Digital Library Software Greenstone. Describes the use of the Greenstone Digital Library Software in building and providing access to digital library collections. The module uses Flash and XML technology for retrieving and presenting the lessons. In addition to the lessons themselves, the module provides the learners with access to an internal search function and a technical glossary, as well as with on-board and on-line reference materials, including relevant non-proprietary software applications and tools. The module also contains several additional resources, including Greenstone Digital Library software, three thesauri related to Agriculture and a digital imaging tutorial. The module CD-ROM is available free of charge. Visit IMARK website (http://www.fao.org/IMARK) for more details of the IMARK initiative and to request for a copy of this e-learning module CD-ROM. We sincerely hope that this module will help a large number of information professionals, particularly those who are not in a position to undergo formal education/ training in this area, in improving their conceptual and practical understanding of digitization and digital libraries. We also hope that this will lead to creation and sharing of greater number of quality digital library collections, particularly with local content. We welcome your critical comments and suggestions about this module which will help us to improve it further. Regards T.B.

In the age of author self-archiving, there are forces, factors, and influences other than pending classical peer review that can assure the quality of scholarship before formal publication. Among these alternative approaches are institutional review, 'critical peer response', 'action learning', and Total Quality Scholarship. Gain an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of conventional peer review process and develop an awareness of current and emerging alternative models to traditional peer review.

Introducing Bibliocasting List
by Gerry Mckiernan 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Posted on Behalf of Dave Lankes Apologies for Cross-Posting PLEASE REDISTRIBUTE WIDELY Introducing the Bibliocasting listserv. The bibliocasting listserv (bibliocasting(a)listserv.syr.edu) is dedicated to a discussion of streaming media in the library environment. This list grows out of the increasing popularity of "Podcasting," or the use of RSS and the Internet to download audio programs (like audio blogs) to computers and MP3 players. A recent Reuters story states: "Twenty-nine percent of U.S. adults who own MP3 players like Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod say they have downloaded podcast programs from the Internet, the Pew Internet and American Life Project found...That means more than 6 million people are listening to a form of communication that emerged only last year, according to the nonprofit group." So what to post on the list? Examples of how libraries can build on the growing excitement of Podcasting; Questions on how libraries can use podcasting and other multimedia information they create to promote themselves and provide better service; Questions on how to podcast and other technical questions on streaming media including QuickTime Streaming, RealProducer, and others. In addition, the list will include postings of key articles, reports, and news about podcating and other streaming media in general and in the the library context. Bottom Line: We are looking to build a community of individuals interested in the application of multimedia in the library environment. SUBSCRIBING TO THE LIST You can get the listserv in two ways. The first is through e-mail. To subscribe to the list send an e-mail to listserv(a)listserv.syr.edu with the entire message (no subject line): subscribe bibliocasting FirstName LastName We have also set up a podcast for the list...that's right, you can listen to the list. Each post is transformed from text-to-speech, and syndicated using RSS. The RSS feed (podcast feed) for the list is at: http://drew.syr.edu/iis4/pod/pod.xml _____________________________ "Virtual Dave" Lankes, Ph.D. Executive Director Information Institute of Syracuse School of Information Studies, Syracuse University http://www.DavidLankes.org

Dear All I am glad to inform you that, as a collaborative effort between NCSI and IISc Library, we have recently set up etd@IISc, the theses repository of IISc, using DSpace. It is accessible at: http://etd.ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/ etd@IISc repository has been developed to capture, preserve and disseminate research theses of our institute. We expect the repository to grow in the coming days. etd@IISc is compliant to ETD-MS metadata specifications recommended by NDLTD and is also OAI v 2.0 compliant. etd@IISc grew out of two trainee projects in the NCSI IKM training programme. This service complements ePrints@IISc - the research publications repository of IISc (http://eprints.iisc.ernet.in/) operational for about 2 years now. It is growing steadily and is receiving significant accesses from around the world, with about 15,000 abstract/ full text views per month. We welcome your comments and suggestions.

Do digital libraries violate the Third Law?
by Sukhdev Singh 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Dear Friends, There is an interesting article on the following URL. http://www.libraryjournal.com/index.asp?layout=articlePrint&articleID=CA512… Some Extracts are given below: .."Every book, its reader" almost means that "resources look for people." Thus, the job of librarians is to help these resources find the people who want and need them the most. Library patrons, Ranganathan points out, often do not know enough about available resources to know what to request. Any organization of the electronic or physical library that focuses only on getting the readers what they ask for neglects two key components of good library practice: browsing and linking.. ..Because of today's confusing array of resources, new violations of the third law have emerged. Consider search engines. No one focused on creating a "well-arranged collection" of e-resources can ignore that users are going to Google for quick or even substantive information requests. Google gives marvelously fast access to massive amounts of information (and misinformation). It is almost everyone's favorite place for a quick search. In fact, one could say that Google usually passes the fourth law (save the time of the reader) with flying colors—except when the plethora of hits slows the reader down. With the advent of Google Print and particularly Google Scholar, more and more students and researchers will begin their work on Google... Any comments? Sukhdev Singh, NIC. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/indmedtraining/

Civilians not allowed entry to library in Cantt
by Vyasamoorthy＠icicikp.com 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

My Comment: Please read the news item below. A library in such a sorry state of affairs -- is not worth fighting - not even for entry rights by civilians. We need to bother only when the library is worth something. Vyasamoorthy, P Express News Service http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=123613 Lucknow, April 3: THE board reads: Civilians not allowed! No, we are not taking you back to the British raaj but to our very own Cantt area. If you are a bibliophile and also a civilian in the cantonment area, you should be ready for the rude fact that the area does not offer library facility to those not a part of the defence forces. Those from the force have a well-equipped library on the main Mahatma Gandhi road but no civilian is allowed to have access to the books there, as it is open only for defence personnel and ex servicemen. Moved by the inconvenience of over one lakh civilians who live in the cantonment area, erstwhile chief executive officer of the Cantonment Board, Indrajit Kaur had taken the initiative to get an existing library in Sadar area, near the government hospital, renovated in the year 2000. Books worth lakhs of rupees were purchased and brought here for the first-of its-kind library for people of non-defence background in the area. The library had separate sections for children and adults depending on their tastes, but with the passage of time, the library has become an epitome of neglect. The situation has come to such a pass that it is rarely opened these days and no new books have been purchased for the last three years and the existing books are rotting. "We have raised the issue a number of times but no one is ready to pay heed to the genuine demands of the civilians. All efforts have gone in vain. The issue of library will not be solved forever unless the cantonment board holds its elections (which have been put on hold for the last two years following an SC intervention) ," maintains Shyam Narain Pandey, the former corporator of the cantonment board. ==================== Dr.P.Vyasamoorthy, Advisor, Virtual Information Centre, ICICI Knowledge Park, Genome Valley, Turkapally, Shameerpet Mandal, RR District, Hyderabad 500078 INDIA Email: vyasamoorthy(a)icicikp.com Phone - Office: +91(40)23480053 Fax: +91(40)23480007 Phone Residence: +91(40)27846631

Amazing : 2 GB from Gmail
by Jayadev P Hiremath 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

SAN JOSE: A year after unveiling a free e-mail service with a full gigabyte of storage, Google is doubling the capacity of each account and plans to keep bumping up the limit in the future. Once the upgrade takes effect on Friday, Gmail users will be able to store up to 2 gigabytes of e-mail and attachments for each account. Even more capacity will be made available after that as it becomes feasible, the company said. "Our goal is to make sure storage is no longer an issue for Web mail users," said Marissa Mayer, Google's director of consumer Web products. The announcement was made on the first anniversary of the Internet search engine's launch of Gmail, which surprised many users with its generous storage allotment and prompted rivals Yahoo and Microsoft to boost the capacity of their own free Web mail services.

Oa increases research impact
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Here is the abstract of a talk Stevan Harnad will deliver at Indiana University on 5 April 2005. Please spread the word about the advantages of institutional archiving. Arun Maximizing Research Impact Through Institutional Self-Archiving Stevan Harnad Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southhampton Abstract: There are two roads to Open Access (OA) (toll-free online full-text access to peer-reviewed journal articles)/ The "golden" road is for the world's 24,000 peer-reviewed journals to convert from the user-institution cost-recovery model to the author-institution cost-recovery model (OA Journal Publishing), as about 5% of them have done. There is still some risk and uncertainty associated with this untested gold-journal cost-recovery model, however, so most journals (91%) have instead taken the "green" road, giving their authors the green light to provide OA for their own individual articles if they wish, by self-archiving them in their own institutional OA Eprint Archives. There is still much confusion about these two very different roads to OA, with some thinking that OA = OA Publishing (gold). Some also think OA is only or mainly to solve the libraries' serials crisis (the journal pricing/affordability problem), whereas the real problem OA is intended to solve is the researchers' access/impact problem. The proposed US, UK, Australian and Canadian mandates to self-archive all funded research are also widely misunderstood as mandating gold, pressuring publishers toward adopting the OA Journal cost-recovery model, whereas they are in fact mandating green, pressuring fundees to provide OA for their findings by self-archiving them. I will present quantitative evidence on the degree to which supplementing the licensed journal access version of an article with an author self-archived Open Access version of the same article increases both the citation impact and the usage (download) impact of the article; the evidence also shows that download impact today can predict citation impact in 2 years. More information. Biographical Sketch: Stevan Harnad was born in Hungary, did his undergraduate work at McGill University and his graduate work at Princeton University, and is currently Canada Research Chair in Cognitive Science at University of Quebec/Montreal.

A talk by Stevan harnad at Indiana University

Open Access Scientometrics Stevan Harnad, University of Southampton, UK April 4th, 2005 | 6-7p | LI 001 One of the ways to measure and predict research influence, direction and impact is through citation analysis. Articles cite one another, and citations can be counted, and lineages traced. Co-citation analysis is another way of analyzing structure and influence: Who is cited together with whom? Hub/authority analysis allows articles to be weighted by whether they are reviews citing many related articles, or they are influential works cited by many articles. The citation equivalent of Google's PageRank allows citations to be weighted, recursively, by how cited the citing work is. A citation has a higher weight if the citing article is itself a highly cited article. A new web-based measure is article downloads; these turn out to be correlated with and hence predictive of citations 18 months later, and even longer if the article is a pre-publication preprint. The latency from download time to citation time has also been steadily shrinking as more preprints and postprints are made openly accessible (OA) online. OA articles have significantly, sometimes dramatically higher citation impact than non-OA articles. Making more of the literature OA will not only make it more accessible and enhance its usage and impact, but it will make powerful new forms of scientometric analysis for monitoring and measuring research possible.

France forging ahead with OA

INRIA's commitment to OA INRIA, the French National Institute for Research in Computer Sciences and Control, has signed the Registry of Institutional OA Self-Archiving Policies. Here's how INRIA describes its OA policy on the registry policy page: 'INRIA (The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control) is about to launch an Open Archive dedicated to its scientific publications. INRIA Chairman Gilles Kahn has signed the Berlin Declaration last June and strongly embraces the Open Archive Initiative. He is convinced that such an archive will increase INRIA's scientific visibility and impact, keep track of INRIA's scientific output, and be of use to the whole scientific community. INRIA's Open Archive is part of the HAL Open Archive, produced by the CCSD (Center for Direct Scientific Communication) of CNRS, originally for physicists. INRIA is now collaborating with the CCSD for the future evolution of HAL [Hyper Articles Online]. INRIA scientists and their research partners will be strongly encouraged to use HAL-INRIA as a repository for their research. Documents to be archived include mostly submitted or accepted contributions in Conferences and Journals, book chapters, but also tutorials, INRIA reports, presentations, self-archived dissertations and preprints. It will also be possible to archive the proceedings of conferences organized, chaired or edited by INRIA scientists.
