Sugunasri Maddala's Column - "Many eyes"
PEOPLE share their videos on YouTube and their photos at Flickr. Now they can share more technical types of displays: graphs, charts and other visuals they create to help them analyze data buried in spreadsheets, tables or text.
At an experimental Web site, Many Eyes, (http://www.many-eyes.com/), users can upload the data they want to visualize, then try sophisticated tools to generate interactive displays. These might range from maps of relationships in the New Testament to a display of the comparative frequency of words used in speeches by Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.
Data can be organized many ways on Many Eyes. Above is a chart of Olympic medals.
I read about this earlier, perhaps in newspaper. But, before trying it for myself, or forget about it before doing anything with it, I thought of sharing it with our community. Some of us may try it. Visualization may help to make our point more clear and may help many a librarian convince their directors and users.

These might range from maps of relationships in the New Testament to a display of the comparative frequency of words used in speeches by Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.
The site was created by scientists at the Watson Research Center of I.B.M. in Cambridge, Mass., to help people publish and discuss graphics in a group. Those who register at the site can comment on one another’s work, perhaps visualizing the same information with different tools and discovering unexpected patterns in the data.
Ben Shneiderman, a professor in the computer science department at the University of Maryland, College Park, and a pioneer in information visualization, says sites like Many Eyes are helping to democratize the tools of visualization. “The gift of the Internet is that everyone can participate, and the tools can be brought to a much wider audience,” he said.
Presenting results in a static spreadsheet or table may do the job. “But sometimes it’s like driving with your eyes closed,” he said. “With visualization, it might be possible to open your eyes and see something that will help you” — for instance, patterns, clusters, gaps or outliers in the data.
“The great fun of information visualization,” he said, “is that it gives you answers to questions you didn’t know you had.”
Data can be organized many ways on Many Eyes. Above is a chart of Olympic medals.Note: This is an excerpt from http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/31/technology/31novel.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

Where to place `Ions'
We are restructuring Agrovoc thesaurus and assigning all the loose terms to most appropriate Broader term. The top most concepts are something like, Substances, Organisms, Methods etc.
We are placing Elements (Chemical elements) under Substances. Where to place `Ions'. Can you please suggest a BT (Broader Term) for `Ions'

procedure for joining an existing blog as an author/blogger
Dear Sir,
My blog titled : Indialibrarian Internation ( blog address :
http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com) has now more than 45 guest
bloggers/authors. When I send my invitation to some of my friends they
are unable to accept the invitation. I mean they are unable to
understand. Do you have some literature to educate budding bloggers in
this regard, which I can post to them for guidelines?
With best wishes

Archana's corner
Allahabad Librarian Archana's Column :
Archana:
Generation Next Motto:
Na hum shaadi karenge,
na apne bachchon ko karne denge.******
"U love sum1U marry sum1 else.
The one u marry becomes ur wife or husband.
And the one u loved becomes the password of Ur mail id"
******There's only 1 perfect child in the world & every mother has it.
There's only 1 perfect wife in the world & every neighbour has it.
******Three dreams of a man:To be as handsome as his mom thinks.
To be as rich as his child believes.
To have as many women as his wife suspects...
******Husband & wife are like liver and kidney.
Husband is liver & wife kidney.If liver fails, kidney fails. If kidney fails,
liver manages with other kidney.
******What's the diff b/w Dava & Daru?
Dava is like girlfriend, that comes with expiry date nDaru is like wife, Jitni purani hogi utna sir Chad ke bolegi.
******Wife ko Begum kyon kehte hain?
Kyonki shaadi ke baad saare gum to husband
ke hisse mein aate hain orWife Be-Gum ho jati hai.

Meet Sandhya, the Silent, Sincere and Senior Serials Librarian
It is my privilege and my responsibility to introduce Ms. Sandhya Gir, Senior Library Officer, ICRISAT (Patancheru 502324 Andhra PradeshIndia email : s.gir@cgiar.org ) to our LIS community. She has put in over 30 years of steady service in ICRISAT and has been the pillar post for Library services in ICRISAT, when all others including me left the Library in search of greener and/or easier jobs. 
We always see her like this and even this photograph is taken by our colleague Mr. David without her knowledge.
She has a very rich experience in handling serials management. She can be contacted for getting a practical insight into the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of Serials management.My dear Dr.Charygaru, Happy Ganesh Chaturthy and happy teacher's day.. I am fine and doing well in my new assignments in Mumbai. I work for a Trust in Mumbai (Andheri). My family : wife, children are doing well.

I am going to introduce to our ILI community, Ms.Sandhya, the silent, shy and senior serials librarian shortly.!!
Dear Mr. Devrai,
Greetings and good wishes!
I am going to introduce to our ILI community, Ms. Sandhya, the silent, shy and senior serials librarian - shortly. Whole of last week we were busy with our co-ordinator from FAO.Pl. have a look at this link.
http://www.arboretum.org.in/
Do you personally know Mr. Prafulla Chandra who is in this project?I contacted him via e-mail and I got a response. Beyond this I don't want to disturb him now. I came to know about this when I mentioned to Srinivasachary, (another friend of mine who works in Manage) that I am interested only in growing a few trees and preach only that to people.Their tag line - ...at peace in the lap of nature ... gave me instant peace.I know that a single tree in our own garden gives more peace than 1000 trees in an arboretum. But we have to work - for money!!! Then is it better to work in an arboretum?I nurture one more `dream lifestyle' in the context of this arboretum. But after I hear more from you about this venture and people concerning it.
Thanks for your encouragement and support. Your ILI blog is encouraging and supporting many people like me.Waiting to hear more from you about this project,
Mrs.Sugunasri Maddala - Independent Information Consultant
ILI Blogger/Author
