LETTER TO PRIMEMINISTER Dear Mr. Prime minister I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do that. Today I heard your speech. In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India. Enough is enough. As such after seeing terrorist attack carried out by about a dozen young boys I realize that if same thing continues days are not away when terrorist will attack by air, destroy our nuclear reactor and there will be one more Hiroshima. We the people are left with only one mantra. Womb to Bomb to Tomb. You promised Mumbaikar Shanghai what you have given us is Jalianwala Baug. Today only your home minister resigned. What took you so long to kick out this joker? Only reason was that he was loyal to Gandhi family. Loyalty to Gandhi family is more important than blood of innocent people, isn't it? I am born and bought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar. Look at all the politician, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief minister I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fisherman so they can build concrete house right on sea shore. Next time terrorist can comfortably live in those house , enjoy the beauty of sea and then attack the Mumbai at their will. Recently I had to purchase house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligent agency & CBI you and your finance minister are not aware of it. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld isn't it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything. If this has been land of fools, idiots then I would not have ever cared to write you this letter. Just see the tragedy, on one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent and on other side you politician has converted nectar into deadly poison. I am everything Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Schedule caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Schedule caste, Creamy Schedule caste only what I am not is INDIAN. You politician have raped every part of mother India by your policy of divide and rule. Take example of former president Abdul Kalam. Such a intelligent person, such a fine human being. You politician didn't even spare him. Your party along with opposition joined the hands, because politician feels they are supreme and there is no place for good person. Dear Mr Prime minister you are one of the most intelligent person, most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost expose all selfish politician. Ask Swiss bank to give name of all Indian account holder. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolf among us. There will be political upheaval but that will better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambient where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of.. Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people?

Since we all pusses same qualifications, same working conditions, pay scales etc. we deserve the same status which these other professionals enjoying. If we just take the example of our LIS teaching faculty, they are also treated differently than librarians. I think this is not fair.  Librarians should be considered as a faculty and should be given the same rights given to the teachers. Librarian should have right to represent in board of studied of LIS, he should be given a right to vote and choose his representatives in the board. Since librarian is a person who is actually working in the library he knows what knowledge one should pusses to be successful in LIS profession & what should be taught to new entrants. Library professionals also should demand separate faculty like other professions e.g. Law, architect, Management, Medical etc. LIS should have its own dean who will represent us at higher level so that we can able to take our profession forward. These are few things if we able achieve then I am sure it will make lot of difference in our status in the society. We are planing to start one movement to achive this, I want to know your opinion and views on that.   With regard   Mr. S. K. Desale Asst.

A treemap visualization algorithm helps display the enormous amount of information gathered by the aggregator. It's customizable - so if you aren't interested in, say, entertainment or sports news, you can deselect them - and you can choose countries as well. Interesting to see how different stories have different interest/importance levels in different places. Newsmap's objective is to divide information into quickly recognizable bands which, when presented together, reveal underlying patterns in news reporting across cultures and within news segments in constant change around the globe. It is not thought to display an unbiased view of the news; on the contrary, it is thought to ironically accentuate the bias of it. -- Posted By Sugunasrimaddala to "ili" INDIALIBRARIAN-INTL : LIBRARIANS CONTINUE TO BE KNOWLEDGE PROFESSIONALS. at 12/03/2008 06:24:00 PM

New visualization tools - Tianomo Web discovery

Tianamo … web discovery is a type of search engine/display. Instead of displaying a list of likely matches in response to a search term, it creates a 3D topoographical surface map. You are presented with a series of mountains and valleys covered with labeled dots that represent the individual web sites turned up by the search. As you move the mouse over the map, a list of the sites in close proximity to the cusor is displayed in a separate window, and updated in realtime. What is most interesting is that some form of clustering or grouping algorithm is used to contextualize the search results. In theory, each mountain peak would represent a cluster of sites closely related, and the taller and more prominent ones would contain a higher number of sites with closest match to your search term. What is also neat is the ability to manipulate the surface by grabbing and turning,tilting,zooming in or out etc. Clicking on an actual dot takes you to the actual site, clicking on the side of a mountain narrows the search parameters etc. , and the inclusion of a chronology steps back in time and builds the topographic map dynamically showing the development over time.

Successful conduct of "Knowledge for all" - International Conference - Congratulations Dr.Muttayya Koganuramath

Dear Professionals,

I take this opportunity to Congratulate to Dr. Mutthayya.
Koganurmath and his team for successfully organizing the
International Conference on “Knowledge for All: Role of
Library & Information Centers”,
to commemorate ILA Platinum Jubilee Year 2008. I could be,
able to witness the deliberations and able to interact with
my other colleagues who had come from various places of India
and from abroad. All the delegates were really impressed by the
event and were praising Dr. Koganuramath and his team for
extending good hospitality. Indeed it is true that the event
was breathtaking one. Success can be achieved through the
efforts of the good team and the good leader leading the
same. Dr. Koganuramath takes such a keen interest in every
event to make it a grand success, howsoever small or big it
may be. The meticulously and judiciously prepared schedule
of the Conference itself is an evidence.

The LIS luminaries across India gathered and deliberated on
various range of LIS issues. This conference gave me an
opportunity to interact, share and exchange my views with
the great personlities of LIS profession. I am sure all the
participants also must have borrowed a lot from the conference
as they got an opportunity to witness the meaningful and thought
provoking deliberations of all FOUR (hectic) days as there were
about more than 100 papers presented in the conference.

This mega Conference was unique in many ways in real sense. All
the presentations were made by using PPT which was possible only
because of the state-of-the- art technology made available in
the conference hall. And Mumbai, being the commercial hub of
India , gave that cosmopolitan touch and flavor which an
International event requires.

I once again congratulate Dr. Koganuramth and I also congratulate
all the awardees of the Conference.



With Best Wishes,



Dr. Vidya Veeresh. Hanchinal.

Mumbai attacked by terrorists - Taj - Trident - Nariman House

"Terror Attacks on Mumbai" - Being Librarians do we have Any thing to say ? So many lost their lives, many got injured and struggling for lifeNow, many are in the trauma of having lost their dear ones ...Home Minister Shivaraj had to resign, distinguished and dedicated police officers and others died in the process. The incident and event shook India, shook Mumbai, and attracted world attention. About Mumbai these four five days, : Hope you had watched carefully on TV what happened to Mumbai. What is our role as a Librarian. Had a Librarian been at the site of disturbance .... what would have been his contribution? Can we think of a situation ... where in a high profile .. highly trianed in disaster information is posted on the site nearer to the spot of disturbance. What could be his role in such a situation. Dont you think ... a could contribute a lot in mitigating and minimising the losses by offering right information ... at the neck of the moment? There is something known as Emergency Librarianship which deals with the systems and services concerned with emergency situations .... may be medical urgencies ... may be urgencies in terms of natural calamities.... think about it write back to me. Incidentally there is a journal titled, "Emergency Librarian" .... unfortunately I could not get the website of the same as the web version does not exist. But the journal verymuch exists. The indication is that Librarians' work apart from being steady, slow and systematic, also have to deal with emergecy calls ... and on toes service. We should respond to all kinds of situations that the society expects of us. Then only we can boost of our image as terminal to the very existence of society.... this kind of services create our indispensibilities ... which is a must for evolving a glorious and professional standing.

Concepts (language) and relations (text) provide the foundation of knowledge and thought. When we look at the world, we perceive not only a mass of colors but also objects that automatically assign categories labels. Our perception system automatically segments the world into concepts and the Categories. Language is used not for the sake of communicating the concepts and the relations, but also employed to represent, store and reason with concepts and relation.
