by Sreeharsha_Gopalakrishna＠i2.com 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Hello, Google, on Tuesday, released its Beta version of Google Maps service, wherein one can find the locality by navigating the online map, and get directions to reach there. http://maps.google.com Give the location name and you find the map. You can double click and / or drag the Google map using mouse pointer to get a better visibility. And using + & - signs you can zoom in or out the map. Currently, they have made only USA map available and are planning to extend it to Canada, then Europe. **************************************** Sreeharsha BG Knowledge Management Group i2 Technologies software Pvt.

by Gerry Mckiernan 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

Colleagues/ Yesterday, NPR has a great overview piece about Skype and other Internet calling services" "Morning Edition, February 7, 2005 · A growing number of people are making cheap long-distance calls using the Internet and special telephone adapters. Others are talking for free, relying solely on their computers and services like Skype [ http://www.skype.com ] Skype has become hugely popular with colleges kids and their parents, who like to stay in touch without running up a bill. Renee Montagne used Skype to talk with New York Times Technology writer David Pogue about the options of making contact without involving phone companies." [ http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4488307 ] I am curious to know if any library is using Skype for local, regional, and/or consortial Digital/Virtual/Chat service(s). TIA! /Gerry Gerry McKiernan Long-Distant Librarian Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 gerrymck(a)iastate.edu

Dear Sir, It gives me immence pleaser to wish you for the initiation of the Children Library in villege. As you asked the suggetions you can more concentare on pictographic sources. I think CDs of morel stories and oter scientific events can deffinetly help the child, who has not exposed to the technology and also these materials will attract them and develops the curiocity in understanding new things. The role of the Librarian is very important and must be effective. As you said indoor games is again a best way to attract the child. I wish you best of luck and you can expect help from me and others... with regards Ishwar Bandi Yahoo! India Matrimony: Find your life partneronline.

I just thought to share with all of you in the group about it. I have also written to Mr Tomas Allen informing him about it. Thanking you Yours faithfully Sangeeta Kaul Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph: a beginning, a struggle, and a victory.

But children's attendance at school is very poor due to poor infrastructure and other things like shortage of staff etc. One of my friend who was born and brought up in that village is now working in China as Mechanical Engineer and has approached me with the idea of starting a library. Using this library, we think we can provide a better Platform for rural kids to gain good knowledge and build confidence to come up in life. Apart from books we are planning to add some indoor games to attract children to school. So may I request you all to suggest what kind of books we can add and some good games as well along with supplier's name and address. Since He is paying everything from his pocket the initial budget will be Rs. 10,000 to 15, 000/- which may go up later. In second phase we are even thinking of donating some second hand PC with CD drive and give some good educational CD's to them Looking forward for your valuable suggestions Thanks in advance With regards Appasaheb Naikal MBT Mumbai Library Tel: 022- 56792000 Ext. 7438 Fax: 022-28478959 Cell: 91-9820524320 Visit us at: www.mahindrabt.com ********************************************************* Disclaimer: The contents of this E-mail (including the contents of the enclosure(s) or attachment(s) if any) are privileged and confidential material of MBT and should not be disclosed to, used by or copied in any manner by anyone other than the intended addressee(s).
