WINISIS is one of the most widely used information retrieval packages used for development of databases in library and information centres throughout the world. The training programme developed envisages delivery in both online as well as CD versions, providing multimedia based self-learning material with synchronous and asynchronous online interactive environment. The purpose of this training programme is to collect feedback from the participants about the effectiveness of the e-learning courseware. Objectives: The focus of the programme is to: � provide opportunity of learning the WINISIS package to those who are not able to do so otherwise; � facilitate self-learning through multimedia courseware; and � stimulate learning through online interaction with experts and peer group. Target Audience: The Programme is meant for: � LIS students minimum at degree level � LIS working professionals � LIS teachers This programme is at the beginners level. The advanced learners need not apply. The programme is available for both Indian and International participants especially from the SAARC and ASEAN countries. Course Structure The entire course content is divided into eleven modules. Each module contains reading material, slide shows, videos, e-tutorials and quiz. Some of the modules also have facility for hands on practice through simulation. Progress from one module to the next will depend on the successful completion of each module by self assessment tests. Modules Module 1 Database Concepts Module 2 Introduction to CDS/ISIS and WINISIS Module 3 WINISIS Installation Module 4 Menus and Dialog boxes in WINISIS Module 5 Database Design Module 6 Content Creation and Indexing Module 7 Information Retrieval Module 8 Formatting Language Module 9 Sorting and Printing Module 10 Database Conversion and Utilities Module 11 Web Enabled WINISIS Project Work (for final evaluation) The entire programme is required to be completed in 80 hours spread over a month�s time.

The self-organizing map, a popular unsupervised neural network model, is used to automatically structure a document collection. Based on this core, additional modules integrate distributed libraries and create an intuitive representation of the library, automatically labeling the various topical sections in the document collection. digital library system supporting intuitive, user friendly browsing of document collections by combining the benefits of conventional library organisation with the possibilities offered by digital collections. It is based on the self-organizing map (SOM), a popular unsupervised neural network, used to organize documents by content into bookshelves. Metaphor graphics facilitate the intuitive representation of the resulting document archive, allowing users to get an instant overview of its content and characteristics. New: SOMLib goes music!! They extended the principles of the SOMLib system to music archives, allowing you to organize and browse collections of music. mallikarjuna chenna
