by sidda＠nimhans.kar.nic.in 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

IATLIS National Conference 2007 It gives me immense pleasure to inform you that the IATLIS 2007 Annual National Conference is going to be organized in Karnatak University, Dharwad, during 19-21 November 2007. The past 23 conferences have made a land mark in presenting and projecting the professional image as well as efforts to coping with the fast changing subject field. Considerable attention is paid to select the burning issues for the discussion and also modest attempt is made to evolve the viable resolutions in the respective conferences. Many of the vital resolutions were sent to the concerned authorities for consideration and taking needful action. Keeping in view the rich tradition of IATLIS in organizing the National level meets and the growing participation specially the younger generation of LIS teachers and researchers, the council has decided to select the following theme for the ensuring conference Equity of LIS education in IT-based pedagogical environment of the knowledge society. Sub themes are; 1. The Educational environment 2. Governance and Policies 3. Pre-service and in-service teacher education 4. teaching practices 5. Assessment practices 6. Evaluation of Personnel and Curricular Materials 7. Individualized Educational Planning 8. Data Collection and Accountability 9. Partnership Building among schools of library / information sciences and industry. 10. Accomplishment of industry standards based on educational reform 11. Introducing specialty and super specialty courses in various subjects in the IT environment 12. On demand education (or customized education) for the industry needs. The focus of equity of LIS education in an inequitable system of haves and have-nots is to achieve equal higher standard to all the students irrespective of location of the schools / departments of library and information science (rural, small cities or metropolitan cities) including the distance education. The equity needs to be developed without compromising the quality of education across the country in todays highly complex and diverse society. The knowledge society demands all LIS students/professionals to reach as high level of academic excellence as possible. The brainstorming is targeted to evolve equity b sharing expertise, curriculum, content and pedagogy for better learning between haves and have-nots. The new partnership is inevitable to achieve equality and to eliminate current inequities by identifying specific indicators. The contributions of all the learned professionals help educators and policy-makers to examine and improve the total educational system. It is hoped that all the members of the IATLIS fraternity and the fellow professional colleagues will take keen interest in contributing thoughtful papers based on research and the experience gained and participate in large number.

Students and OA
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

Friends: We have been carrying out an advocacy campaign for 'open access to scientific and scholarly literature' for the past six or seven years. And yet only about 25 Indian institutions have set up their own interoperable institutional open access archives (or repositories), and about a hundred Indian journals are now open access journals , including those published by the Indian Academy of Sciences and the Indian NationalmScience Academy. So far our advocacy efforts have been aimed at librarians, research scientists, university teachers and policy makers (at DST, DSIR, CSIR, PSA, etc.). We have hardly reached out to research students in universities, IITs and other institutions of higher learning. It may help if students take up the issue and lead from the front. University students in the USA, South Africa and Peru have formed FreeCulture.org to promote open access to knowledge. We should encourage Indian students to set up chapters of FreeCulture.org in Indian institutions. Once the students take interest, I am sure the OA movement will pick up momentum. Enlightened students in all developing countries will do well to form chapters of FreeCulture.org and proactively mobilize support for open access. Best wishes. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] FreeCulture.org is an international chapter-based student organization that promotes the public interest in intellectual property and information & communications technology policy. A free culture is one where all members are free to participate in its transmission and evolution, without artificial limits on who can participate or in what way. The free culture movement seeks to develop this culture by promoting four things: * creativity and innovation; * communication and free expression; * public access to knowledge; * and citizens' civil liberties. Local Chapters are at the following institutions (not one of which is in India). * Brown University * Bryn Mawr College * Center for Digital Democracy * Chadwick High School * Claremont Colleges * Columbia University * Cornell University * Emerson College * Emory * Florida State University * Franklin and Marshall College * Georgetown University * Hamilton College * Hampshire College * Harvard * McGill University * MIT * Mounds Park Academy * Northeastern University * Northwestern University * NYU * Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru * Princeton University * Reed College * Rochester Institute of Technology * Seattle University (School of Law) * Swarthmore College * Tecnológico de Monterrey * UNC-Chapel Hill * University of Alaska Fairbanks * University of California Santa Cruz * University of Chicago * University of Evansville * University of Florida * University of Iowa * University of Kwazulu Natal * University of Maryland, College Park * University of Michigan * University of Notre Dame * University of Oregon * University of Pennsylvania * University of Southern California * University of Toronto * University of Washington * Virginia Tech ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Vortal : Vertical Internet Portal

Dear Members, On the Web, a Vortal (Vertical Industry Portal) is a website that provides a gateway or portal to info. related to a particular industry such as healthcare, insurance, automobile or food manufacturing. (A vertical industry is one that is focused on a relatively narrow range of goods & services, where as a horizontal industry is one that aims to produce a wide range of goods & services. Because most industry tends to specific, most industry tends to vertical) e.g. - http://www.cars.com (It's a platform for buying, selling & valuing cars of all makes).

Ministry of Culture focuses on Preservation of Palm Leaf Manuscripts
by Susmita Chakraborty 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Ministry of Culture focuses on Preservation of Palm Leaf Manuscripts The Minister of Tourism and Culture Smt. Ambika Soni has said that rare palm leaf manuscripts are preserved and protected scientifically under the National Mission for Manuscripts, through the network of 33 Manuscript Conservation Centres and their partner centres, spread all over the country. In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today she said, under the Mission no state-wise allocation of funds is made. However, the details of the amount spent under the Mission during the last three years are as under: Year Allocation ( In Rs. Crore) 2004-05 3.47 2005-06 7.90 2006-07 9.43 (USD 2.3 million) Under the National Mission for Manuscripts (http://www.namami.org) digitization of important manuscripts in the country is taken up to prepare a national database of important manuscripts ( http://www.namami.org/pdatabase.aspx) This is an ongoing process and, therefore, no deadline can be fixed. However, since the launch of the Mission in 2003, more than 15,000 manuscripts containing 2.2 million manuscript pages have already been digitized . A large number of new manuscripts, running into thousands, have been unearthed under the Mission. The National Mission for Manuscripts helps in spreading awareness about the manuscript heritage of India through awareness campaigns, workshops, National surveys, exhibitions, public lectures and publication of books on manuscripts.

Introducing the Open Library
by Anand 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Dear all, The Open Library is an ambitious project to build a free internet library with all the books in the world. Not just every book on sale, or every important book, or even every book in English, but simply every book which is ever published on this planet. It is not simply a library that is free to public, but a product of the people: letting them create and curate its catalogue, contribute to its content, participate in its governance, and have full, free access to its data. You can visit the Open Library website, http://demo.openlibrary.org, to know more about it. In the initial phase of the project, we are trying to collect all the book catalogues from various libraries and publishers all over the world. Being a member of the Open Library development team, I'm trying to collect digital catalogues from various libraries in India. I request help and support from this community in this regard. Hope it will be exciting for all of you to participate in making the book data available for the whole world for free. Looking forward for your kind support, Anand Chitipothu, The Open Library Team, Internet Archive, San Francisco, CA, USA http://demo.openlibrary.org -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Adopting Document Standards
by Farooque Shaheen 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

According to a recent IDC survey entitled Adoption of Document Standards commissioned by Microsoft, organizations are increasingly interested in employing XML-based standards, primarily due to interoperability between tools and ease of transition from existing document bases to new standards. Findings include: 1) Large organizations with diverse business needs prefer multiple document standards. 2) Although IT managers appear to strongly prefer a single standard to reduce cost and complexity of implementation, line-of-business managers closer to the daily needs of business support the desire for multiple document standards. 3) PDF, Open XML, and OpenDocument Format are all in use today, with PDF viewed as the dominant standard and Open XML demonstrating "more traction in the market compared to other XML-based standards." 4) Companies in Europe with an interest in Open XML expect to be piloting or fully deploying the standard a year from today. Those interested in ODF are more likely to be in the "consideration" phase rather than piloting or fully deploying it within that same time frame. You can download the full the article from the following URL. http://www.openxmlcommunity.org/documents/IDC%20Document%20Adoptions%20Whit… Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Keane India Tel. 080-26678388 Ext. 4105 VOIP- 40366 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

The convergence of the computing and communications has also brought a radical change in the way libraries and information centres have been im parting information to the users. There is a paradigm shift from the information based services to the Knowledge based services as Knowledge is considered as a most powerful fact in the development of an economy of a nation and is the fourth wave experien ced by the human lives. In these changing scenarios, the libraries have to take a proactive approach and to work for this tectonic change that the Knowledge Society will encompass in its domain. The library professionals can no longer keep themselves in t he insulated state away from the challenges which needs to be addressed by them. The Government of India has constituted under the National Knowledge Commission a special group on Libraries and Informatics and has proposed a! knowledge based society and the emergence of libraries and network centres as one of the contributing entities for developing a knowledge based society. There is a greater need to provide the citizen focused services and the library services must focus on the common man and we must ensure that the libraries are able to bridge up the gap between the two tiered society of �Knowledge haves� and �knowledge have-nots� It is with this concern that the National Convention on Knowledge, Library and Information Networking (NACLIN 2007) being organized by DELNET at New Delhi in November 2007 to debate various issues on the subject.

It may be interesting to note that we could read all about your solutions from a different computer, as we could not open this particular mail with 'Mozilla FireFox' in the subject line [the worm somehow sensed (!) there's a danger in the offing]. Earlier, we tried MadhureshSinghal's suggestion of pasting the error message in Google and failed, as the application closed immediately. Many thanks once again. It is a big relief now. Those experiencing a similar problem can check http://kb.mozillazine.org/Use_IE_messages_upon_opening_Firefox or http://www.freewebs.com/mgsujith/worm/remove.html and follow the instructions mentioned in the link. Happy dis-infecting! Regards,

Rapid dissemination and archiving of your research material using Nature Precedings
by Dr. R.K. Kamat 29 Aug '07

29 Aug '07

Hi! Although I am not a Librarian, I feel the information regarding the Nature Precedings will be helpful to Librarians and Science Researchers and therefore posted on this forum. Nature Precedings is a place for researchers to share documents, including presentations, posters, white papers, technical papers, supplementary findings, and manuscripts. It provides a rapid way to disseminate emerging results and new theories, solicit opinions, and record the provenance of ideas. It also makes such material easy to archive, share and cite. The whole service is free of charge. The submission may be done in pdf or doc format. Although the submissions are not peer reviewed, service is intended to provide a more rapid and informal communication system than that enabled by scientific journals, and in this sense is complementary to them. More details at http://precedings.nature.com/about Regards.. Dr. R.K. Kamat Reader in Electronics & Coordinator Internet Unit, Shivaji University, Kolhapur -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Sad demise of Prof. Prabir Roy Chowdhury
by Mailing List Admin 28 Aug '07

28 Aug '07

Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2007 03:32:30 -0700 (PDT) From: Pijushkanti Panigrahi <panigrahipk(a)yahoo.com> It is indeed heart-breaking to hear that Prof Prabir Roy Choudhury, the veteran LIS teacher and an eminent leader of Library Movement, is no more. He breathed his last on August 22, 2007 at 8:52 am at his age of 74 and had lost his beloved & careing wife Amita only a few months back. He was suffering from lung cancer. Mr Buddhadeb Bhattacharyya, Hon�ble Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mr Tapan Ray, Hon�ble Minister of Library Services, Govt of West Bengal, Hon�ble Mr Joyti Basu, Mr Nimai Mal, Mr Biman Basu, Mr Deb Kumar Basu along with many renowned educationist and scientists pay their homage to Prof Roy Choudhury and joined the funeral. Prof Prabir Ray Choudhury was born in Dhaka of Bangladesh in the year of 1934. He came to Kolkata afterwards along with his parents and studied in Bangabasi College. He had keen interest on books and libraries. To fulfill his desire, he got admitted in the librarianship course and became a student of Dept of Library Science, University of Calcutta. And he obtained his Post Graduate degree in Library Science as a deputed candidate from the Delhi University while he was an employee of the Central Library, Jadavpur University. He joined as a faculty of the Dept of Library and Information Science, Jadavpur University since its inception in 1964 and worked till his retirement in 1994. He had set up an example of refusing any further extensions after attaining the age of his superannuation. But he had rendered his services towards the betterment of the whole Jadavpur University community by holding many honorary positions till his death. The Vice Chancellor, Deans, Registrar, Teachers, Employees, Students of Jadavpur University pay their last respects to Prof Ray Choudhury. Prof Ray Choudhury took part and played important role in the Education Movement in 1954. He was very much instrumental to use Libraries in mass education to strengthen Education Movement. Due to his respect and affection to the Libraries, he established a Children Library (�Sougata Smriti Pathagar�) after the sudden and painful death of his only affectionate son Sougata in an accident at his young age. Prof Ray Choudhury had played an important role in formulating West Bengal Public Library Act and its enactment in 1979. As per the act he took initiatives in forming Directorate of Library Services, State Library Council, and Local Library Authorities for districts as an Advisor to the Govt. He was one of the members of the State Library Council till his death. He was attached with the Bengal Library Association since 1957 which he used to consider as his second home. He was also its President, General Secretary, Council member in different point of time. A huge gathering of LIS teachers of different Universities � University of Calcutta, Burdwan, Kalyani, North Bengal, Vidyasagar; President, Vice Presidents, General Secretary, Joint Secretaries, Council Members, Members of BLA,WBPLA, IASLIC, IATLIS, students, friends, followers, entire library profession pay their respectful homage with flowers and tears to their beloved teacher and joined in the funeral procession of the departed leader. He was also attached with IASLIC and participated in its many activities to guard the welfare of the Indian LIS profession. But for his inspiration, suggestion and active participation, IASLIC organized many successful seminars, conferences, workshops along with many other academic activities. His affection and suggestion inspired me a lot to organize successful workshops as Secretary of its Education Division. His sad demise is a great loss for the entire profession which is irreparable. I am extremely sad and shocked about his departure, but I am sure his work will stand to the benefit of LIS profession. I express my sympathy to all his relatives wish them to get back the strength to withstand this loss and wisdom to move forward with time. - Dr Pijushkanti Panigrahi Dr Pijushkanti Panigrahi, Reader, Dept of Lib and Inf Science, University of Calcutta, 87/1 College Street,Kolkata - 700 073, West Bengal, India, email : panigrahipk(a)yahoo.com, (M) : +91 94342 43522.
