Google Research site - http://research.google.com/ - which is all about research carried out by people working for Google, may see major changes soon. At present - only interesting thing that appears there is a partial listing of papers written by 'Googlers'. According to Wired Science - http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/01/google-to-provi.html - it will soon provide provide free storage space to scientists for open-source scientific datasets. The datasets would would be openly accessible to all. If this happens - popularity and power of Google platform would boost the realization of open source science dream. --Sukhdev Singh. http://sukhdevsingh.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

QMed Knowledge Foundation a "not for profit" organization was launched in Mumbai on January 12, 2008. I wanted to share this information with all of you. It is indeed a matter of pride that one of our colleagues from the profession of Library & Information Science, Vasumathi Sriganesh could envisage and execute this. The Qmed Knowledge Foundation vision statement reads - Empower healthcare professionals to utilize reliable and relevant medical information through effective use of Information Technology for delivering quality healthcare services to all. It has relevance & resonance for the health practitioner as well as the consumer. Also the information professional - on possibilities of walking the not so beaten track! Information service entrepreneurship such as Informatics(veteran), QMed et al should hopefully play a part in encouraging youngsters to look at LIS as a first choice in career planning.
