UNESCO releases new publication on linguistic diversity in the Internet

UNESCO releases new publication on linguistic diversity in the Internet 04-03-2010 (Paris) UNESCO, together with FUNREDES and the Union Latine, launches Twelve years of measuring linguistic diversity in the Internet: balance and perspectives. Written by Daniel Pimienta, Daniel Prado and Alvaro Blanco, this publication is an update to the previous UNESCO study on this subject that was issued for the World Summit on the Information Society in 2005. FUNREDES and Union Latine have designed an original research method to measure linguistic diversity in cyberspace. The aim was to use search engines and a sample of word-concepts to measure the proportionate presence of these concepts in their various linguistic equivalences. Research, undertaken from 1996 to 2008, enabled interesting indicators to be built to measure linguistic diversity. The paper describes the research method and its results, advantages and limitations. It also provides an overview of existing alternative methods and results, for comparison. The paper concludes with the examination of different perspectives in the field which have in the past been considered to have been characterized by a lack of scientific rigor. This has led to some misinformation about the dominant presence of English on the Web. It is a topic that is only now slowly attracting due attention from international organizations and the academic world. The publication is currently available in English and French, for free download in PDF format: click here http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=29594&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECT… .

Schedule Processes in LIBSYS software – Your Experience
by praba 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Dear Friends, We have been using the LIBSYS software in our library. We are adding the new books and editing some old records if there is error or change. After this we are doing manually rebuild inverted files and update inverted files for indexing. Instead of doing this process manually there is another option in LIBSYS called Schedule Processes. If you set the time for updating, for example 10 p.m., everyday it has to do this update automatically. We would like to know from people those who are using the LIBSYS, any of you used this utility and also what is your experience in installing the utility and the problems if any?
