Dear Colleagues, "A chemist in India has been found guilty of plagiarizing and/or falsifying more than 70 research papers published in a wide variety of Western scientific journals between 2004 and 2007.

He said in this context Tim Berners-Lee’s idea of semantic web is catching up fast and the future lies in Web 2.0. Keizer said that Web 2.0 is envisioned with an basic philosophy of mutually maximizing collective intelligence and added value for each participant by formalized and dynamic information sharing and creation. The workshop is organized to train the librarians and knowledge managers in the newly released open source software called “NewGenLib”. Speaking on the software, Mr.. L.J.
