Dear Members, It could be of interest to you. Regards, S M Pujar IGIDR, Mumbai ======== ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ASIS&T Continuing Education <education(a)asis.org> Date: Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 7:29 PM Subject: SIG III: Getting Published in Reputable International Journals and Other Publications To: pujar(a)igidr.ac.in ** ****** *SIG III: Getting Published in Reputable International Journals and Other Publications***** *Join us for a Webinar on September 4* *Free for ASIS&T members and non-members* <https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/215920822>**** *Space is limited.* Reserve your Webinar seat now at: http://www.asis.org/Conferences/webinars/Webinar-SIGIII-9-4-2013.html**** The ASIS&T Special Interest Group for International Information Issues (SIG III) has conducted over a dozen annual international paper contests where winning papers are published in the International Information and Library Review. However, some papers that are worthy of being published in the journal, are never published. Authors of those papers are often interested in learning about the policies and procedures for getting their papers submitted, reviewed, accepted, and eventually published in reputable international journals. In this webinar, three distinguished speakers, who are all current and/or past editors and/or members of editorial boards of a number of major international journals as well as other major publications, will address the following five broad questions and topics to provide webinar participants with an understanding of the process for evaluation and review of manuscripts: 1. How do you identify prestigious journals and conferences? 2. What fundamental characteristics of manuscripts and their contents would enhance the chance of their being accepted and, eventually, published? In other words, what are the characteristics of an ideal manuscript? 3. What problems and pitfalls should authors avoid in getting their manuscripts ready for submission to scholarly journals and publications? That is, what makes a manuscript likely to be rejected by editors in the first or subsequent rounds of review and evaluation? 4. Mentors and advisors often talk about finding a scholarly journal and/or publication that is a good fit for a manuscript and its contents. What does that mean and how can one tell? 5. What additional advice would you give specifically for scholars and authors from developing countries, including, but not limited to, those for whom English is not their native language? The speakers will also respond to participants’ specific questions. To submit your questions for the speakers (by August 30, 2013), please visit: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZJ9FXWF. **** **** *Title:***** *SIG III: Getting Published in Reputable International Journals and Other Publications***** *Date:***** Wednesday, September 4, 2013**** *Time:***** 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM EDT**** **** After registering you will receive a confirmation e-mail containing information about joining the Webinar.**** ** ** *System Requirements* PC-based attendees Required: Windows® 7, Vista, XP or 2003 Server**** Mac®-based attendees Required: Mac OS® X 10.6 or newer**** Mobile attendees Required: iPhone®, iPad®, Android™ phone or Android tablet **** If you do not wish to receive any further electronic marketing communications from ASIS&T you can opt-out completely, please note you will no longer receive Association updates or any conference information you may have subscribed to.

LIBRARY GROUP PUBLISHES USER GUIDE TO WIPO MARRAKESH TREATY
by Ragaavendra R 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

Dear Moderator kindly circulate. LIBRARY GROUP PUBLISHES USER GUIDE TO WIPO MARRAKESH TREATY The Library Copyright Alliance (LCA) has released a user guide to the recently adopted "Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print Disabled." LCA is an organisation representing three major North American library associations. The Marrakesh Treaty requires its contracting parties to adopt copyright exceptions aimed at improving access to copyrighted works by print-disabled persons. The agreement was adopted by the members of the World Intellectual Property Organization at the end of a diplomatic conference held in Morocco last June (IPW, WIPO, 26 June 2013). The paper, authored by Jonathan Band and published on 13 August, described the main features of the treaty. It provides explanations of the various provisions of the agreement and its substantive obligations for copyright exceptions to the right of reproduction, distribution, and making available to the public of works in accessible format copies - such as Braille format. The author also illustrates provisions on import-export of accessible format copies and circumvention of technological protection measures. In addition, the guide indicates that the United States could ratify the Treaty without amending its domestic law, given that current US legislation complies with the agreement's provisions. Finally, the author suggests the Marrakesh Treaty could benefit visually impaired persons in the US who are interested in reading foreign language books thanks to its import-export scheme.

Data Mining with Weka by Ian WittenMOOC ( September 9) and a Tutorial at the ICADL 2013 Register
by Shalini Urs 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

Dear LIS Professionals, We have been talking about repositioning the LIS profession for a while now. Here is an opportunity for the profession to retool itself with some of the emerging tools and technologies that are redrawing the boundaries of the field. Data Mining is one such area and we have Prof. Ian Witten who is familiar to the LIS profession through his Greenstone Digital Library software to give a tutorial on the topic “Data Mining with Weka” at the ICADL 2013. This is a great opportunity to learn to deploy the Open Source Data Mining Software Weka. I am sure everyone will agree with me that it is a rare opportunity to learn software directly from the developer of the software and an author of the book on the subject. Prof. Witten is the developer of the software Weka and also the author of the book “Data Mining:  Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques,” the third edition which was published in January 2011 by Morgan Kaufmann Publishers. You can also enroll for the upcoming MOOC called "Data Mining with Weka" which is now open at http://weka.waikato.ac.nz Where there's link to a short video trailer (on YouTube). The course will start on 9th September and extends over 5 weeks. It features: · Video lectures · Practical activities and online assessment · Extracts from Data Mining (3rd Edition): Witten, Frank & Hall (2011) The video lectures are fully captioned -- in English -- to make it easier for non-native English speakers to understand. You can also follow the course via Twitter or the blog: https://twitter.com/WekaMOOC http://wekamooc.blogspot.co.nz/ To learn more in person attend the tutorial on " Data mining with Weka" at the ICADL 2013 (http://www.isim.ac.in/icadl2013/tutorials.html) Dr. Shalini R.Urs Chair, ICADL 2013 & Executive Director and Professor International School of Information Management University of Mysore Manasagangotri Mysore - 570006 Phone : + 91 821 2514699 Fax : + 91 821 2519209 www.isim.ac.in ISiM - Management School of IT.
