Institutional Repositories
by Rajesh Chandrakar 17 May '07

17 May '07

Dear Professionals, In the today's information explosion especially on open source and open access era, every one must be aware that every library or institution should have their own either institutional repository (IR) or digital library (DL) for easy access of their scholarly resources. In this regards, various ogranizations have developed various IR and DL software on open source mode. Where as Fedora (www.fedora.info) is also one of the open source softwares that gives organizations flexible tools for managing and delivering their digital content. It is built on the core of powerful digital object model that supports multiple views of each digital object and the relationships among digital objects. Digital objects can encapsulate locally-managed content or make reference to remote content. Dynamic views are possible by associating web services with objects. This is an open offer to the professionals, who are interested in establishing the Fedora Institutional Digital Repository in to their library. Fedora is based on the Windows OS based IR built on core Java. That's what is platform independent software. I may also help in establishing the Greenstone Digital Library (GSDL) Software to the professionals. However, there are so many professionals are available for helping in building the GSDL Digital Library.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Need to Promote free library software
by Mailing List Admin 17 May '07

17 May '07

Date: Tue, 15 May 2007 22:48:31 -0700 (PDT) From: rupesh kumar <a_rupeshkumar(a)yahoo.com> Respected & Dear All, With due regards to the thought-provoking comments made on this issue by many revered professionals, I have a few things to say. Yes, Staff Exchange Programme is a very good idea as long as libraries can afford to do it and are allowed to do so by their parent authorities. The concept of Visiting Faculty also sounds good. But there is a difference in the very functioning of a university department and a library. As Mr. Sukhdev Singh has clearly pointed out, many a time, this kind of endeavors do not materialize simply because of "ego clashes" among people working in the same organization !!! We need to shed our ego for the good of the organization. Unless we do that, no such efforts bear fruits. I have another point to make. For many a problem in our profession, technology gives the solution. One has to think of "using one technology to teach another technology". Lastly, I request you to visit the site http://comeletslearnit.googlepages.com/resources , download, use and do comment on my efforts which is going somewhat in similar lines as of this subject matter (I hope to upload as many resources as possible soon). Thanks & Regards, >Sukhdev Singh <esukhdev(a)gmail.com> wrote: Dear Friends, >Ok, This can be easily done on a Wiki Page.

Playing with my Mobile to Blog.
by Sukhdev Singh 16 May '07

16 May '07

Well these days I am simply sitting at home and doing nothing. I have taken leave for three weeks for some family reason. While playing with my mobile, I thought of using it to blog. Blogger.com does offer such a facility and my blog http://sukhdev.blogspot.com is fortunately on it. To get started I had to sent an empty email to go(a)blogger.com from the phone itself. Sending email from a web based service won't work. So using Opera Mini or GMail "App" from a GPRS enabled phone won't work. My Sony Ericsson K750i does allows to send and receive mails through its own in-built client placed under its SMS menu. But it needs to be configured to a working POP / SMPT account. GMail does offers such a facility of POP account. All I wanted was the proper GMail POP setting to use it from my phone. I got these setting after Googling from my phone's Opera Mini. Once these setting was entered an email was sent to go(a)blogger.com. Within minutes I got an email providing me an URL of a new blog and a six digit code. I was supposed to enter this code at http://go.blogger.com and claim the new mobile blog created for me. I tried without success to claim the blog with the Mini Opera from my Phone. The problem was that I had to enter another verification code displayed in form of an image. My phone's browser was sending data without allowing me to enter the code. I gave up from the phone. Ultimately I could claim my mobile blog from a PC. As soon as my code was accepted, I was prompted to enter my gmail account. I entered the same and got a choice to redirect emails sent from my phone to my existing blog i.e. http://sukhdev.blogspot.com . I was ready to test my mobile blogging. I wrote an email in my phone (very similier to this) and sent it to go(a)blogger.com . The content of the email were on my blog with few seconds. --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
