Re: [LIS-Forum] Sad demise
by Venkata Kesavan 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

Dear Friends, I am shocked to learn about the 'sad demise' of our fellow LIS Professional, Shri Satish Deshpande. I have known Late Shri Deshpande for over last two decades - first, I, as the member of British Library, Ahmedabad (where he had put in his lifetime of excellent service) and later on, as my colleague at the British Council, India. Shri Deshpande was one of the most dynamic, hardworking, dedicated and resourceful LIS colleagues, that I have had an opportunity to interact, collaborate and work with. He was an 'all-rounder LIS Professional', with extensive practical knowledge in all aspects of Modern Library and Information Services area, covering, Collection Development, Customer Services and Marketing, Library Automation and above all, he was a very good team leader and people oriented person. Shri Deshpande's untimely death is a great loss to our profession. I am sure, apart from his friends like us, the scholarly and professional community of Ahmedabad is going to miss Shri Deshpande, whom he had served for over last three decades. I express my sincere condolences to his Family, Friends, Relatives and Colleagues. May his soul rest in peace. Dr. R.

Sad demise of Satish Deshpande
by Anil Kumar 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

It is with a very heavy heart that I inform the library community of the sad and sudden demise of Satish Deshpande who was presently associated with Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. He was previously the librarian of The British Library Ahmedabad, which he served for about 29 years. One the finest professionals we had in India is no more. I am sad that such a wonderful library professional who touched thousands of lives in this country through his meticulous and professional service has left us. I remember my first meeting him in 1992 and while working with him I was always amazed at his energy and service oriented attitude till his passing away. He was a doyen in the Ahmedabad library fraternity and his departure is a great loss to librarianship in general. I pray to god to give his family the strength to bear this loss and may his soul rest in peace. Regards H. Anil Kumar Librarian Indian Institute of Management Vastrapur Ahmedabad 380 015 Ph: (079) 66324987 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Friends There was a very nice and unique experience at IGKV, Raipur Koha workshop. many constituent Collage libraries of IGKV participants come up with their PC so that we can install and configure as per their requirements on production machine. It reflects they were much interested to implement and get maximum out of us. Myself and Mr. DP Tripathi felt very happy and enjoyed to do the job and taught them several methods of installation, this time we selected Oracle Virtual box for complete hands on practice and installations without affecting or alteration of their machines. Therefore i request you to use above technique from the next time OR you may visit our institute along with your equipment PC/Server for the system setup and configurations as per your library requirements. This method will also help us in sharing much knowledge without physically visiting the Institute which is difficult due to growing invitations for the above work. Thanking You.

Elastic Search Integration with Koha
by Vimal Kumar V. 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Bywater Solutions and Catalyst IT are working together to implement Elastic Search into Koha. So far, funding for this work has been contributed by: - AARome - Arcadia Public Library - ByWater Solutions - Catalyst IT *Why would I care about Elastic Search?* We need Koha to perform for our future (and present!) library users who expect access to Linked Data sources and a more Google-style searching experience. So, we need an equally modern searching experience in Koha, along with the library’s real life experts and quality content. *Yeah I know those things are important, tell me more then…* Koha is already on the way to supporting Linked Data. We need Elastic Search to support taking MARC records on a round trip to RDF (linked data is RDF), and back again. This will enable libraries to deliver more quality content in their search results. There is also scope for major improvements behind the scenes of Koha, including the ability to rebuild the indexes with no downtime, optimisation of the way we use server resources, real-time usage and performance statistics, and most of all, chipping away at search speed, at every opportunity. *Aaand..what exactly is Elastic Search?* We’ll let www.elasticsearch.org answer this one: “Elasticsearch is a flexible and powerful open source, distributed, real-time search and analytics engine. Architected from the ground up for use in distributed environments where reliability and scalability are must haves, Elasticsearch gives you the ability to move easily beyond simple full-text search. Through its robust set of APIs and query DSLs, plus clients for the most popular programming languages, Elasticsearch delivers on the near limitless promises of search technology”. *So where is implementation up to?* A significant start has been made on implementing Elastic Search and browsing into Koha using the funds raised so far. They’re working, but not fully integrated throughout Koha. It’s a big undertaking, and once the base is there, there are endless opportunities for ways it can be extended to further enhance Koha. The more funds we collect, the more we can build. If your organisation would like to know more about contributing towards Elastic Search development, please contact brendan(a)bywatersolutions.com or kathryn(a)catalyst.net.nz Robin Sheat and Chris Cormack from Catalyst are working with Brendan at Bywater on the development – try eythian, rangi and bag in the community IRC, or the koha-devel mail list for open technical discussions.
