INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile Mysore Road Bangalore 560059 Seminar on A Comparison of Indexing Tools in Digital Libraries Abstract: Digital library is no more a new term to the world. Many digital library instances are live on web. Technological requirements of a DL depends on the characteristics of its collection and the requirements of the users. DL deals with documents in different formats , images and other multimedia materials etc. The most important point to be considered while choosing a DL software should be how it indexes, what it indexes and what search facilities it provide. As the DL collections are increasing day by day its necessary to evaluate the existing indexing and searching facilities provided by different DL packages. Efficient retrieval of information in DL depends on the back end process such as indexing, searching and ranking. Now DL developers have more choice in selecting the software as plenty of them are available as either free of cost or proprietary, This study is an attempt to compare the indexing and searching facilities provided by MGI, MG II and Lucene. Presenter : Anila S, Junior Research Fellow Venue : DRTC Classroom Date : 04/07/2011 Time : 2:00 pm All are cordially invited A. R. D.

KALA Monthly Lectures Series - Talk on "LIS Profession: Quo Vadis?" by Prof. Shalini Urs on Tuesday 5th July 2011 at TCS, Bangalore.
by rajendrababu.hanumanthappa＠wipro.com 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Dear LIS Professionals, Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) is happy to invite you to the Monthly Lecture Series. The sixth talk of the series has been scheduled on Tuesday 5th July 2011 @6.00pm at the following Address: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), SJM Towers, No.18, Seshadri Road, 6th Cross, Gandhinagar (Near Ananda Rao Circle) Bangalore - 560 009 Karnataka, India. Title: LIS Profession: Quo Vadis? Speaker: Dr. Shalini R. Urs, Executive Director and Professor, International School of Information Management (ISiM), University of Mysore, Mysore. Abstract: Quo Vadis! is a Latin phrase, meaning "Where are you going?". There are some professions, which are always in a state of flux and LIS is definitely one of them. Given the pervasive and invasive nature of impact of the Internet and the attendant evolving nature of everything in this society, it is but natural that a profession such as LIS which is intertwined with the world of information is at the cusp of things. For a pessimist, it could be the end of the road; for an optimist there is the promised pot of gold along the road; for a realist it is time for a reality check. It is time that the LIS profession studies the law of the land of information in all its ramifications and redefines and repositions to the changed scenario. The framework for the redefining process begins at the notion of information (content) and its use (consumption). The digital medium has wrought in transformative changes; one of them being "access" and the concomitant issues of "democratization" and "participation". This talk will throw more questions than answers. One fundamental question this talk will pose is- with the internet heralding the new golden age of access, what is the role of LIS profession, which has always prided itself as the bridge between "content" and the "consumer?" The second pertinent question is about the social nature of the profession. Social networking is happening online riding the bandwagon of with the web 2.0 technologies. What can the LIS profession do? Can we reclaim or do we reposition? What are our choices? These are some of the questions, the talk will ponder over. About the Speaker: Prof. Shalini R Urs has been a faculty at the University of Mysore, since the last 32 years. She has done her Bachelor's degree is in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics; Master's degree is in Library and Information Sciences, and post graduate diploma in computer applications.
