Nutch - an open source search engine.
by aprajita suman 04 Sep '03

04 Sep '03

Respected all, Recently we witnessed discussion about the relevance of library skills in current era of IT. Here we have an opportunity to use our skills for something new and exiting. A new open source search engine has come to being called NUTCH.The idea behind Nutch is to create an open-source web search engine where everything is exposed. In contrast, other search engines may be secretive about how they rank pages (implication: Google) or take payment to include sites (implication: all the other major search engines that do paid inclusion). This is a challenging proposition. If you believe in the merits of this project, please try as a developer. details can be seen at: http://www.nutch.org/docs/en/index.html with regards, Aparajita suman, ADIS Student, DRTC, Indian Statistical Institute, R V college P.O. Bangalore- 560 059. ___________________________________________________ Law meets Electronics; Veena Weds Sanjay. Rediff Matchmaker strikes another interesting match !!

Dear Friends, I was surprised to see today that http://www.openisis.org has temporary shut down their site. What they call as a protest against software patents. It would unfortunate if they close it permanently. The Openisis had a potential to be a wonderful software for Library & Information work. I wonder if we can support the open source community..?

ejournals
by prafulla＠nisc.co.in 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

Dear Dr Manjunath: The ARL Directory of Scholarly Electronic Journals and Academic Discussion Lists First Edition (2000) lists 3915 peer-reviewed ejournals. You may find the following URL useful. http://db.arl.org/dsej/index.html This site has couple of useful articles. The "Foreword" is also informative as it indicates the growth in the number of ejournals over the years. As for the query on the first ejournal, the following article would be useful: Electronic Journals & Scholarly Communication, by Harter & Kim http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/archive/harter.html Here's an extract from the above article: _________________________________ Although electronic journals (or e-journals) have been under development since 1976 (Turoff and Hiltz, 1982) <http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/archive/>, e-journals in their non- experimental phase did not begin until the 1990s, with a few exceptions. The first peer-reviewed electronic, full-text e-journal including graphics was Online Journal of Current Clinical Trials (OJCCT) (Keyhani, 1993) <http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/archive/>. In the most recently published list, and one of the few research projects involving e- journals, Hitchcock, Carr, & Hall (1996) <http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/archive/> identified 115 scholarly, peer-reviewed e-journals in science and technology, and there are many more in the social science and humanities. These constitute the first wave of what are likely to be many more scholarly e-journals to come _____________________________________ However, it is not clear when it was started. Related Sources: The National Library of Canada has published the following guide: Electronic Publishing: Guide to Best Practices for Canadian Publishers. It is available freely at: http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/9/13/index-e.html Another useful site is Electronic Journal Publishing: A Reader Version 2.0 http://www.inasp.info/psi/ejp/index.html This is a goldmine of valuable articles and one of the best sites to start with.
