Yahoo is offering a new search service designed to help people find more-relevant content online. The Y!Q service (next.yahoo.com) offers "contextual" search that analyzes the page being read and gives a list of related search results. Instead of starting a search from a text box, a person would search while reading a specific page. Simply highlight relevant portions of text on the page and run a "related search," and Y!Q analyzes the page, extracts the most relevant concepts and uses those as inputs. For detail ?http://yq.search.yahoo.com/splash/start.html#news? Thanks & Regards, Farooque Shaheen, Caritor (India) Pvt Ltd.

NCSI-NET (Network of Alumni and Staff of NCSI, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore) Cordially invites you to a talk on SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING: (Current developments and issues related to Open Access Publishing and Institutional Repositories) By Prof. Jean-Claude Guedon Department of Comparative Literature University of Montreal Montreal, Canada On 5th February 2005 (Saturday) Time: 11.15 A.M. Venue: NCSI Lecture Hall, NCSI, IISc Coffee: 10.45 11.15 A.M. RSVP: Mr. Madhuresh Singhal (madhuresh_s(a)aurigene.com) or Mr. T.S. Prasanna (t.s.prasanna(a)intel.com) NCSI-Net Coordinators ----------------------------------------- ABOUT THE SPEAKER Jean-Claude Guédon holds his doctorate in the History of Science from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and is currently Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Montreal. He is also member of the Information Sub-Board of the Open Society Institute. He became interested in electronic publishing in the late '80's when he began thinking about what an electronic journal would be like. Thanks to help from Apple Canada, his University and several granting agencies, he was able to launch the first Canadian scholarly e-Journal, Surfaces, in the Fall of 1991. Prof. Guedons interest in both theoretical and practical issues regarding electronic publishing has led him to produce numerous papers on the subject as well as to present at conferences worldwide. He has been actively engaged in projects pushing the boundaries of scholarly communication including serving on the steering committees of the Canadian National Site Licensing Project and the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. He has lectured extensively on related topics in various seminars and meetings organized by prestigious agencies including the National Library of Medicine, Association of Research Libraries, Open Society Institute, IFLA, Society of Scholarly Publishers, OCED-IMHE, and so on. He is widely identified with the open archive philosophy, but also with calls to revise the evaluation process of scientific papers and has tried to help SPARC's battle to create change and competition. In December 2001, Prof. Guedon was invited by the Soros Foundation to participate in the meeting that has given rise to the Budapest open access initiative (http://www.soros.org/openaccess/read.shtml) His other areas of interest include the Internet and the relationship between arts and technology. He has written several publications in French in this area and one of his books La Planète Cyber. Internet et cyberespace, published in Paris by Gallimard in 1996, has been a minor best seller in the French-speaking world. Some related publications by Prof. Guedon: "The Green and Gold Roads to Open Access: The Case for Mixing and Matching". Serials Review. Volume 30, No. 4, December 2004, Pages 257-381.

About the workshop : Information availability in digital form has been increasing quite rapidly in the last few years. In practice we have to deal with many types of digital documents such as text-based word-processed documents, e-mail messages, spreadsheets, presentations, scanned image documents, website (hypertext) documents, multimedia documents, digital audio and video, and dynamically interlinked documents. Increasing availability of various types documents currently tend to blur the boundaries between types of stored information, and increase the problems of capturing and retaining all elements of files. Digital information overload is the recent phenomena and people have been working to evolve suitable mechanism to address this issue. We do not currently have universal standard in digital information management however guidelines are available based on best practices. The virtual archives of the future will be maintained not through accessioning, preservation and provision of on-site access to information, but through the control of information about stored information, and its use to ensure relation, disposition and access. Course Contents: · E-information transaction and resources · E-mail discussion forums, list servers, group mails, and professional discussion lists · Digital information archiving · Customization and personalization of digital resources · Digital access management · Digital resources for e-learning · Digital resources processing, metadata and intelligent search and so on. · Integrating web resources in digital library Workshop Expert: Prof. Edward Proctor, Associate Professor in Library and Information Science, South West Missouri State University, USA Registration and Participation: The workshop can accommodate maximum of 30 participants only. Registration Fee: Rs. 500/- per Participant. Interested Members confirm your participation by E-mail, Fax or Phone before 7th Feb 2005, along with DD/cheque/cash for Rs. 500/- favouring M.S.
