The main theme of theÂ SymposiumÂ isÂ âPost-truth and Information Managementâ.

Information management discipline has a very important function in terms of raising awareness of individuals for distinguishing the fake information and facts. For this reason, it is extremely important that the concept of âPost-truthâ and its influences be discussed within the framework of the Information Management discipline and by its professionals. CONTRIBUTIONS Contributions can be theoretical as well as technical and practical. Informative case studies are also welcome. Contributions are not limited with the main theme: Â all types of papers, posters and presentations on information management in general are also welcome.

Displaying unique title and volume count on the Koha staff client
by Indranil Das Gupta 15 Dec '17

15 Dec '17

Kia Ora! Erstwhile SOUL and e-Granthalaya users from India, when they shift to Koha, often want a at-a-glance heads up view of the count of unique titles and number of copies which is there in SOUL and e-G. So, in memories of Santu Mondal, a young library professional, who left us untimely this day two years back, I'm sharing this new blog post on an upgrade-friendly way to display unique title and volume count (live data) on the Koha staff client using Koha’s SQL report facility in tandem with Koha’s Reports web service API pushing JSON formatted data and some Javascript. The solution is based on a SQL report available on the Koha wiki. "Displaying unique title and volume count on the Koha staff client" - http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2017/12/15/displaying-unique-title-and-vol… Here is a screenshot - http://bit.ly/2o5vSZk cheers, idg -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 WWW : http://www.l2c2.co.in Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
