Librarians deal with dead data
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Following link shows how massive data of responses to Amir Khan's Serial Satyamevjayate is being analysed with the help of IT . We librarians take pride in saying that we deal with data and information. It suddenly occurred to me that librarians deal with dead, solidified and frozen data converted into info through articles, chapters, books etc. Even the most nascent journal article is "stale chutney from the Fridge". Those librarians (a few exist) who put information (or raw data) as it gets generated, to use by their readers (on the fly so to say ) are great. Kindly comment AFTER reading the article. http://gigaom.com/cloud/how-indias-favorite-tv-show-uses-data-to-change-the… Dr P Vyasamoorthy, 30 Gruhalakshmi Colony Secunderabad 500015 Ph 040-27846631 / 9490804278. *Be kinder than necessary ~ **for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.*. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Open Source Software Applications in Libraries survey
by Mallikarjun 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Dear All, You would agree that there seems to be a growing use in OSS (Open Source Software) applications in all walks of life whether you are drafting a letter or using your mobile phone. Some of the common examples of OSS in our daily lives are Mozila, Linux, Open office, and so on. In this context we thought it pertinent to study OSS with specific reference to the library market. We believe that libraries have traditionally been open to adopting OSS and some examples could be Koha, Evergreen, Dspace, Eprints, Greenstone, etc. In line with this thinking we are conducting a brief survey on and their adoption in Indian libraries. The main objective of this study is to understand the status of IT applications in libraries in areas like Integrated Library Solutions, Digital library solutions, Website solutions, etc. in India and the potential of OSS in these areas of library functioning. We plan to identify factors that play a major role in, promoting and preventing, OSS implementation. The study also seeks to identify the preferred business models that may be appropriate in promoting the use of OSS in libraries. I invite you kindly respond to this survey that has only 20 questions and the results of this study will be shared with all the respondents of the survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7RHWDN7 This study is supported by OSS Labs and the researchers are grateful for the support.
