Unicode ?

UNICODE stands for Universal character encoding, maintained by the Unicode Consortium.

 This encoding standard provides the basis for processing,storage and interchange of text data in any language in all
modern software and ICT protocols. 

It uses two bytes or 16 bits to code each character.

What is firewall
A system designed to prevent unauthorizedaccessto or from a privatenetwork. Firewalls can be implemented in
bothhardwareandsoftware, or a combination of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent
unauthorizedInternetusers from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especiallyintranets. All
messages entering or leaving the intranet pass through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks those
that do not meet the specifiedsecuritycriteria.

What is Webinar?

 Webinar is a short for Web-based seminar, a presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the
Web. 

A key feature of a Webinar is its interactive elements -- the ability to give, receive and discuss information.
Contrast with Webcast, in which the data transmission is one way and does not allow interaction between the
presenter and the audience.

What   is router?

-A device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two
LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP??s network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more
networks connect. 

Routers use headers and forwarding tables to determine the best path for forwarding the packets, and they use
protocols such as ICMP to communicate with each other and configure the best route between any two hosts. 

What is Delphi Technique ?

Delphi technique helps managers and decision makers to make better forecasts and advice. This method recognises
human judgments as legitimate and makes useful inputs in generating forecasts and also that the judgment of a
number of informed people is likely to be better than the judgment of a single individual who may be misinformed
or highly biased. Thus, the Delphi technique is a way of allowing only those interactions to occur that are likely to
improve the quality of a forecast or decision.

The Delphi Technique has been widely used to generate forecasts in technology, education and other fields. It may
also be possible to apply this technique as an evaluation technique in case a situation demands.

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)

The Program (or Project) Evaluation and Review Technique, commonly abbreviated PERT,

is a statistical tool, used in project management

is designed to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing a given project

developed by the United States Navy in the 1950s

it is commonly used in conjunction with the critical path method or CPM.

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (code-named PERT) is applied as a decision-making

tool designed to save time in achieving end-objectives, and is of particular interest to those

engaged in research and development programs for which time is a critical factor.

Critical path method (CPM)

The critical path method (CPM) is an algorithm for scheduling a set of project activities

It is an important tool for effective project management.

The critical path method (CPM) is a project modeling technique developed in the late

1950s by Morgan R. Walker of DuPont and James E. Kelley, Jr. of Remington Rand

CPM calculates the longest path of planned activities to the end of the project, and the earliest

and latest that each activity can start and finish without making the project longer

In project management, a critical path is the sequence of project network activities which add upto the longest
overall duration

Shannon–Weaver model of communication has been called the "mother of all models.

It embodies the concepts of information source,message, transmitter, signal, channel, noise, receiver,

In 1948 Claude Elwood Shannon published A Mathematical Theory of Communication article in two parts in the

July and October numbers of the Bell System Technical Journal.[2

The book co-authored with Warren Weaver, The Mathematical Theory of Communication, reprints Shannon's 1948
article and Weaver's popularization of it

Shannon's theory is used more literally and is referred to as Shannon theory, or information theory

Shannon's formula is  

where C is channel capacity measured in bits/second, W is the bandwidth in Hz, S is the signal level in watts across
the bandwidth W, and N is the noise power in watts in the bandwidth W.

  Electronic mail?

commonly known as email or e-mail

An email message consists of three components, the message envelope, the message header, and the message body.

1. Background

The Project entitled “National Library and Information Services Infrastructure for Scholarly Content

(N-LIST)”, being jointly executed by the UGC-INFONET Digital Library Consortium, INFLIBNET

Centre and the INDEST-AICTE Consortium, IIT Delhi provides for i) cross-subscription to e-resources

subscribed by the two Consortia, i.e. subscription to INDEST-AICTE resources for universities

and UGCINFONET resources for technical institutions; and ii) access to selected e-resources

to colleges. The N-LIST project provides access to e-resources to students, researchers and

faculty from colleges and other beneficiary institutions through server(s) installed at the INFLIBNET

Centre. The authorized users from colleges can now access e-resources and download articles

required by them directly from the publisher’s website once they are duly authenticated as authorized

users through servers deployed at the INFLIBNET Centre.

The project has four distinct components, i.e. i ) to subscribe and provide access to selected

UGC-INFONET e-resources to technical institutions (IITs, IISc, IISERs and NITs) and monitor its

usage; ii) to subscribe and provide access to selected INDEST e-resources to selected universities

and monitor its usage; iii) to subscribe and provide access to selected e-resources to 6,000

Govt./ Govt.-aided colleges and monitor its usage; and iv) to act as a Monitoring Agency for
colleges and evaluate, promote, impart training and monitor all activities involved in the process of

providing effective and efficient access to e-resources to colleges.

The INDEST and UGC-INFONET are jointly responsible for activity listed at i) and ii) above. The

INFLIBNET Centre, Ahmedabad is responsible for activities listed at iii) and iv) above. The INFLIBNET

Centre is also responsible for developing and deploying appropriate software tools and techniques

for authenticating authorized users.

2. Current Status

As on April 22, 2010, a total number of 1,176 colleges have registered themselves with the N-LIST

programme including 659 Govt. / Govt.-aided colleges covered under the 12 B Act of the UGC.

Log-in ID and password for accessing e-resources has been sent to the authorized users from

these 659 colleges. Remaining colleges are being advised to join the initiative as N-LIST Associates.

All e-resources subscribed for colleges under the N-LIST Project are now accessible to

these 659 colleges through the N-List website.

3. Beneficiary Institutions

The following four sets of institutions are benefitting from the N-LIST Project:

i) Universities covered under Phase I of the UGC-INFONET Digital Library Consortium can now

access Web of Science.

ii) IITs, IISc, IISERs and selected NITs (i.e. core members of the INDEST-AICTE Consortium)

can now access selected e-resources namely Annual Reviews, Project Muse and Nature.

iii) 6,000 Govt. / Govt.-aided colleges covered under 12 B Act of the UGC can now access se

lected electronic resources including electronic journals, electronic books and bibliographic

databases. These resources include more than 2100 e-journals and 51,000 e-books.

iv) Colleges, not covered under the 12B Act of the UGC, can benefit from the N-LIST Programme

by joining the programme as its Associate. These colleges will be required to pay a fixed

amount towards subscription to e-resources and annual subscription.

88. Full form of MOOC

A massive open online course (MOOC) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. In
addition to traditional course materials such as videos, readings and problem sets, MOOCs provide interactive user forums
that help build a community for the students, professors, andteaching assistants (TAs). MOOCs are a recent development
in distance education.[1]

Although early MOOCs often emphasized open access features, such as open licensing of content, open structure and
learning goals and connectivism, to promote the reuse and remixing of resources, some notable newer MOOCs use closed
licenses for their course materials, while maintaining free access for students.[2][3][4]

UGC
University Education Commission was set up in 1948 under the Chairmanship of Dr. S Radhakrishnan "to report on
Indian university education and suggest improvements and extensions that might be desirable to suit the present and
future needs and aspirations of the country". It recommended that the University Grants Committee be reconstituted
on the general model of the University Grants Commission of the United Kingdom with a full-time Chairman and
other members to be appointed from amongst educationists of repute.
In 1952, the Union Government decided that all cases pertaining to the allocation of grants-in-aid from public funds
to the Central Universities and other Universities and Institutions of higher learning might be referred to the
University Grants Commission. Consequently, the University Grants Commission (UGC) was formally inaugurated
by late Shri Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the then Minister of Education, Natural Resources and Scientific Research
on 28 December 1953.
 
The UGC, however, was formally established only in November 1956 as a statutory body of the Government of
India through an Act of Parliament for the coordination, determination and maintenance of standards of university
education in India. In order to ensure effective region-wise coverage throughout the country, the UGC has
decentralised its operations by setting up six regional centres at Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bhopal,
Guwahati and Bangalore. The head office of the UGC is located at Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg in New Delhi  
 
National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) was established by the UGC in September 1994 at
Bangalore for evaluating the performance of the Universities and Colleges in the Country. NAAC's mandate
includes the task of performance evaluation, assessment and accreditation of universities and colleges in the
country. The philosophy of NAAC is based on objective and continuous improvement rather than being punitive or
judgmental, so that all institutions of higher learning are empowered to maximize their resources, opportunities and
capabilities. Assessment is a performance evaluation of an institution and /or its units and is accomplished through
a process based on self-study and peer review using defined criteria. Accreditation refers to the certification given
by NAAC which is valid for a period of five years. At present the Assessment and Accreditation by NAAC is done
on a voluntary basis.

International Patent Classification (IPC)
The International Patent Classification (IPC), established by the Strasbourg Agreement 1971, provides for a hierarchical system of language
independent symbols for the classification of patents and utility models according to the different areas of technology to which they pertain.

Strasbourg Agreement Concerning the International Patent Classification

Nice Classification (NCL)

The Nice Classification (NCL), established by the Nice Agreement(1957), is an international classification of goods and services applied for
the registration of marks.

Vienna Classification (VCL)

The Vienna Classification (VCL), established by the Vienna Agreement (1973), is an international classification of the figurative elements of
marks.

Locarno Classification (LOC)

The Locarno Classification (LOC), established by the Locarno Agreement (1968), is an international classification used for the purposes of
the registration of industrial designs.

Intellectual Property.

Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and
symbols, names and images used in commerce.

IP is protected in law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or
financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of  innovators and
the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish.

Patent

A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention, which is a product or a process that provides, in general, a new
way of doing something, or offers a new technical solution to a problem. To get a patent, technical information about the
invention must be disclosed to the public.

What kind of protection does a patent offer? 

In principle, the patent owner has the exclusive right to prevent or stop others from commercially exploiting the patented
invention. In other words, patent protection means that the invention cannot be commercially made, used, distributed,
imported or sold by others without the patent owner's consent.

Is a patent valid in every country? 

Patents are territorial rights. In general, the exclusive rights are only applicable in the country or region in which a patent
has been filed and granted, in accordance with the law of that country or region.

Copyright

Copyright is a legal term used to describe the rights that creators have over their literary and artistic works. Works
covered by copyright range from books, music, paintings, sculpture and films, to computer programs, databases,
advertisements, maps and technical drawings.

What is covered by copyright? 

Works covered by copyright include, but are not limited to:

Literary works such as novels, poems, plays, reference works, newspapers and computer programs; databases;

Films, musical compositions, and choreography;

Artistic works such as paintings, drawings, photographs and sculpture;

Architecture; and

Advertisements, maps and technical drawings.

Copyright protection extends only to expressions and not to ideas, procedures, and methods of operation or
mathematical concepts as such. Copyright may or may not be available for titles, slogans, or logos, depending on
whether they contain sufficient authorship.
In most circumstances copyright does not protect names.

What rights does copyright give me? 

There are two types of rights under copyright: economic rights allow the rights owner to derive financial reward from the
use of his works by others; and moral rights are the rights to claim authorship of a work, and the right to oppose
changes to the work that could harm the creator's reputation.

Most copyright laws state that the author or rights owner has the right to authorize or prevent certain acts in relation to a
work. The rights owner of a work can prohibit or authorize:

its reproduction in various forms, such as printed publication or sound recording;

its public performance, such as in a play or musical work;

its recording (“fixation”), for example, in the form of compact discs or DVDs;

its broadcasting, by radio, cable or satellite;

its translation into other languages; and

its adaptation, such as a novel into a film screenplay.

Trademark

A trademark is a sign capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one enterprise from those of other enterprises.
Trademarks are protected by intellectual property rights.

How can I protect my trademark?

At the national/regional level, trademark protection can be obtained through registration, by filing an application for
registration with the national/regional trademark office and paying the required fees. At the international level, you have
two options: either you can file a trademark application with the trademark office of each country in which you are
seeking protection, or you can use WIPO’s Madrid System.

What rights does trademark registration provide?

In principle, a trademark registration will confer an exclusive right to the use of the registered trademark. This implies
that the trademark can be exclusively used by its owner, or licensed to another party for use in return for payment.
Registration provides legal certainty and reinforces the position of the right holder, for example, in case of litigation.

How long does trademark protection last?

The term of trademark registration can vary, but is usually ten years. It can be renewed indefinitely on payment of
additional fees. Trademark rights are private rights and protection is enforced through court orders.

What kinds of trademark can be registered?

A word or a combination of words, letters, and numerals can perfectly constitute a trademark. But trademarks may also
consist of drawings, symbols, three-dimensional features such as the shape and packaging of goods, non-visible signs
such as sounds or fragrances, or colour shades used as distinguishing features – the possibilities are almost limitless.

Industrial design
An industrial design constitutes the ornamental or aesthetic aspect of an article. A design may consist of three-
dimensional features, such as the shape or surface of an article, or of two-dimensional features, such as patterns, lines
or colour.

What kind of products can be protected as industrial designs?

 Industrial designs are applied to a wide variety of products of industry and handicraft: from technical and medical
instruments to watches, jewellery, and other luxury items; from house wares and electrical appliances to vehicles and
architectural structures; and from textile to leisure goods.

Why protect industrial designs?

Industrial designs are what make a product attractive and appealing; hence, they add to the commercial value of a
product and increase its marketability.

When an industrial design is protected, this helps to ensure a fair return on investment. An effective system of protection
also benefits consumers and the public at large, by promoting fair competition and honest trade practices.

Protecting industrial designs also helps economic development, by encouraging creativity in the industrial and
manufacturing sectors and contributes to the expansion of commercial activities and the export of national products.

How can industrial designs be protected?

In most countries, an industrial design must be registered in order to be protected under industrial design law.
Depending on the particular national law and the kind of design, an industrial design may also be protected as an
unregistered design or as a work of art under copyright law. In some countries, industrial design and copyright
protection can exist concurrently. In other countries, they are mutually exclusive: meaning that once the owner chooses
one kind of protection, he can no longer invoke the other.

Under certain circumstances an industrial design may also be eligible for protection under unfair competition law,
although the conditions of protection and the rights and remedies ensured can be significantly different.

Geographical indication

A geographical indication is a sign used on goods that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities, a
reputation or characteristics that are essentially attributable to that place of origin.

Most commonly, a geographical indication includes the name of the place of origin of the goods. For example,
agricultural products typically have qualities that derive from their place of production and are influenced by specific
local factors, such as climate and soil.

Why protect a geographical indication?

Geographical indications are more than just a name or a symbol. They reflect a reputation strongly linked to
geographical areas of varying sizes, thus giving them an emotional component. A geographical indication’s reputation is
a collective, intangible asset. If not protected, it could be used without restriction and its value diminished and eventually
lost.

What rights does a geographical indication provide?

A geographical indication right enables those who have the right to use the indication to prevent its use by a third party
whose product does not conform to the applicable standards. For example, in the jurisdictions in which
the Darjeeling geographical indication is protected, producers of Darjeeling tea can exclude use of the term “Darjeeling”
for tea not grown in their tea gardens or not produced according to the standards set out in the code of practice for the
geographical indication.

However, a protected geographical indication does not enable the holder to prevent someone from making a product
using the same techniques as those set out in the standards for that indication. Protection for a geographical indication
is usually obtained by acquiring a right over the sign that constitutes the indication.

What is the difference between a geographical indication and an appellation of origin?  

Appellations of origin and GIs both require a qualitative link between the product to which they refer and its place of
origin. Both inform consumers about a product’s geographical origin and a quality or characteristic of the product linked
to its place of origin. The basic difference between the two terms is that the link with the place of origin must be stronger
in the case of an appellation of origin.

The quality or characteristics of a product protected as an appellation of origin must result exclusively or essentially from
its geographical origin. This generally means that the raw materials should be sourced in the place of origin and that the
processing of the product should also happen there. In the case of GIs, a single criterion attributable to geographical
origin is sufficient, be it a quality or other characteristic of the product, or only its reputation. Moreover, the production of
the raw materials and the development or processing of a GI product does not necessarily take place entirely in the
defined geographical area.

How can I obtain protection for a geographical indication?  

There are three main ways to protect a geographical indication:

So-called sui generis systems (i.e. special regimes of protection);

Using collective or certification marks; and

methods focusing on business practices, including administrative product approval schemes.

These approaches involve differences with respect to important questions, such as the conditions for protection or the
scope of protection. On the other hand, two of the modes of protection — namely sui generis systems and collective or
certification mark systems — share some common features, such as the fact that they set up rights for collective use by

C19 Century Index

The Nineteenth Century Index – the most comprehensive and dynamic source for discovering nineteenth-century books,
periodicals, official documents, newspapers and archives.
C19 Index draws on the strength of established indexes such as the Nineteenth Century Short Title
Catalogue  (NSTC), The Wellesley Index, Poole's Index, Periodicals Index Online and the Cumulative Index to Niles'
Register 1811–1849 to create integrated bibliographic coverage of over 1.7 million books and official publications, 70,000
archival collections and 22.7 million articles published in over 2,500 journals, magazines and newspapers.  C19 Index now
provides integrated access to 13 bibliographic indexes, including more than three million records from British Periodicals
Collections I and II, together with the expanded online edition of the Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century Journalism (DNCJ).

About The Wellesley to Victorian Periodicals, 1824-1900

‘It is a great literary age, we have great literary men - but where are their works? A moment's reflection gives us a reply
to the question; we must seek them not in detached and avowed and standard publications, but in periodical miscellanies.
It is in these journals that the most eminent of our recent men of letters have chiefly obtained their renown.’
England and the English, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1833.

Periodical publishing in the 19th century was both voluminous and multifarious. Any and all aspects of contemporary
thought were represented through this burgeoning medium, from which many eminent novelists and journalists emerged.

The scholarly importance of this material created an imperative to provide indexes through which it could be accessed.
Poole's own subject index was created in response to this need. However, until 1965 and Wellesley, there was no author
index. The primary objective of Wellesley was to assist scholars in assessing the significance of periodical articles by
delivering accurate information on provenance. This was a monumental undertaking, given that the vast majority of
articles published in Victorian periodicals were anonymous or pseudonymous.

Wellesley then, is an index to the authorship of articles, and a bibliography of articles written by each contributor, and
using each pseudonym. Citations of evidence are provided to support attributions of authorship, along with brief
biographical and vocational details. 45 important monthly and quarterly titles are included, covering the period from the
beginning of the Westminster Review in 1824 to the end of the century. The exception to this is the Edinburgh Review,
which is indexed from first issue, in 1802. Wellesley does not index poetry.

The Wellesley Index to Victorian Periodicals was originally published by the University of Toronto Press, in 5 volumes
between 1965 and 1988. Editor Walter Houghton was assisted by a staff team, a board of editors, and by librarians and
scholars from around the world. A CD-ROM edition of Wellesley was published by Routledge in 1999, incorporating
corrections and additions to the index published in the Victorian Periodicals Review up to the end of 1997. It is this CD-
ROM version on which The Wellesley Index online is based, with data reproduced under licence from Taylor & Francis
Group, an informa business.

Corrections and additions to Wellesley published in Victorian Periodicals Review and elsewhere have been indexed by
Eileen Curran and made available through the Victorian Research Web (http://victorianresearch.org/). The Curran
Index continues to be updated, and includes information on some additional periodicals not covered in the
original Wellesley. Curran is essential for keeping up to date with recent research into the authorship of Victorian
periodical articles, and it has now been integrated with the online Wellesley Index. Additions and corrections
from Curran have been appended to the relevant article, contributor and periodical records from Wellesley, while new
records have been created for Curran entries without a corresponding Wellesleyrecord. The full Curran Index can be
viewed using the Browse screen.

The Wellesley Index provides seamless linking between article records, contributor and
pseudonym records, and periodical introductions, and includes links to article full text for selected titles in Periodicals
Archive Online and British Periodicals for users with the appropriate subscriptions. Click here for more information on
British Periodicals

The Wellesley Index is also available within ProQuest’s C19: The Nineteenth Century Index, where it
can be cross-searched alongside 19 million records from 10 other major indexes of 19th century content, including Poole’s
Index to Periodical Literature,Periodicals Index Online, the Nineteenth Century Short-Title Catalogue, the House of
Commons Parliamentary Papers, and Palmer’s Index to The Times

C19 Index is the bibliographic spine of 19th century research, providing integrated access to the most

important finding aids for books, periodicals, official publications, newspapers and archives. Users of C19 Index can query
its 12 collections simultaneously, or can conduct more detailed research using collection specific search screens. C19

Palmer's Index to The Times

London bookseller Samuel Palmer published the first volume of his index to The Times® in 1867. Going back to October
1790, then publishing quarterly updates to December 1905, Palmer and his successors indexed articles in every issue,
creating a resource that has long been recognised as an essential companion to the newspaper itself.Palmer's Index is the
standard reference work for any library holding the newspaper in print or on microfilm. The online version cumulates 450
quarterly issues containing 3.7 million references on 28,000 pages. Page and column references are provided for

 Cutter’s Rules for Dictionary Catalogue 1876
          It was Charles Ammi Cutter who first gave a generalised set of rules for subject indexing in his Rules
for a Dictionary Catalogue (RDC) published in 1876.
          Cutter never used the term ‘indexing’; he used the term ‘cataloguing’.

 Kaiser’s Systematic Indexing, 1911
          Developed by Julius Otto Kaiser
          It is a systematized alphabetical subject heading practice
          Kaiser was the first person who applied the idea of Cutter in indexing micro documents in the library of
Tariff Commission as its librarian
          He categorized the component terms into two fundamental categories: (1) Concrete and (2) Process.
          Concrete refers to l Things, place and abstract terms, not signifying any action or process; e.g. gold,
India, Physics, etc.
          Process refers to
 *Mode of treatment of the subject by the author
 *An action or process described in the document
 *An adjective related to the concrete as component of the subject. In short, Kaiser’s achievements regarding
subject indexing are:
          categorization of composite terms through classificatory approach for the first time;
          a general rule of order of precedence, i.e. the ‘process’ term should follow  the ‘concrete’ term;
          definition of those terms, of which ‘process’ is identified properly, that is, he         gave the
characteristics of ‘process’ by which it can be identified properly;
          double entry system for a subject dealing with place/locality; and elaborate system of references.

 Chain Indexing
          Developed by Dr. S. R. Ranganathan
          It is also called / known as “chain procedure”
          It is a method of deriving alphabetical subject entries from the chain of successive subdivisions of
subjects needed to be indexed leading from general to specific level
          According to Ranganathan, chain indexing is a “procedure for deriving class index entry (i.e. subject
index entry) which refers from a class to its class number in a more or less mechanical way.”
          The term ‘chain’ refers to a modulated sequence of subclasses or isolates

 Relational Indexing
          devised by J. E. L. Farradane in 1950
          This indexing systems also known as the “System of Relational Analysis”
          Two or more isolates linked by relational operators
          Relational operators are special symbols which link the isolates to show how they are related and each
operator is denoted by a slash and a special symbol having unique meaning
          Farradane’s marked improvement in the area of subject indexing was:
                         ** analysis of relationship among terms;
                         ** use of relational operators; and
            ** one to one relationship among analets.
 Coates’s Subject Indexing
          Developed by E. J. Coates
          From the contributions of Cutter, Kaiser and Ranganathan, the concept of Term Significance was
drawn
          Coates has developed the idea of Thing and Action like Kaiser’s Concrete and Process
 PRECIS (PREserved Context Index System)
          Developed by Dereck Austin in 1974
          an alternative procedure for deriving subject headings and generating index entries for British National
Bibliography (BNB) which since 1952, was following Chain Indexing.
          Syntax and Semantics of PRECIS

             PRECIS consist of two inter-related sets of working procedures:
            
                         1. Syntactical
                         2. Semantic.
          The PRECIS is based on two principles
 1.      Principle of Context Dependency
 2.      Principle of One-to One Relationship

          to achieve the principle of context-dependency, Two-Line-Three-Part entry structure is followed in
PRECIS
          Formats of PRECIS Index : There are three kinds of format in PRECIS:
 1.      Standard Format,
 2.      Inverted Format and
 3.      Predicate Transformation

 COMPASS (Computer Aided Subject System)

          In 1990, it was decided to revise UKMARC and to replace PRECIS by a more simplified system of
subject indexing As a result Computer Aided Subject System (COMPASS) was introduced for BNB
from 1991.

          Martimer Taube devised the Uniterm indexing system in 1953
          to organise a collection of documents at the Armed Services Technical Information Agency (ASTIA) of
Atomic Energy Commission, Washington
          The system is based on concept coordination
          Uniterm indexing system had a number of distinctive characteristics:

 1.      Indexing by single words only;
 2.      Terms are extracted from the text of the document indexed;
 3.      No control over those terms;
 4.      Indexing, being reduced to word extraction, can be conducted by relatively
 5.      low-level personnel.

          American Chemical Society established the value of KWIC after its adoption in 1961 for its publication
‘Chemical Titles’:
          This index was based on the keywords in the title of a paper and was produced with the help of
computers

          Each entry in KWIC index consists of three parts:


             a) Keywords: Significant or subject denoting words which serve as approach terms;
             b) Context: Keywords selected also specify the particular context of the document (i.e.                                
usually the rest of the terms of the title).
             c) Identification or Location Code

           Variations of KWIC i.e KWOC and KWAC

 1.      KWOC (key-word out-of-context)

 The KWOC is a variant of KWIC index. Here, each keyword is taken out and
 printed separately in the left hand margin with the complete title in its normal
 order printed to the right

 2.      KWAC (key-word Augmented-in-context) Index

                         ** KWAC also stands for ‘key-word-and-context’.

InfoPort: A Subject Gateway to Indian Electronic Resources

11:29 AM    No comments
 InfoPort: A Subject Gateway to Indian Electronic Resources developed by the INFLIBNET Centre was
launched by Prof. Mahendra P Lama, Vice Chancellor, Sikkim University during the inaugural session of 8th
PLANNER 2012 on 1st March, 2012. The InfoPort is designed and developed by the INFLIBNET Centre to serve
as a comprehensive gateway to all Indian scholarly content. The gateway open-ups the Indian scholarly content
scattered over the Internet through an integrated interface that support search, browse and multiple listing. The
resources covered in the infoPort are organized under ten major categories (000 to 999) according to the Dewey
Decimal Classification. Resources in the InfoPort are also arranged alphabetically by subjects. The Info-Port is now
accessible at: http://infoport.inflibnet.ac.in/ 

Glossary
An alphabetically arranged list of the specialized vocabulary of a given subject or field of study, with brief definitions, often appearing at the
end of a book or at the beginning of a long entry in a technical reference work. Long glossaries may beseparately published (example: The
ALA Glossary of Library and Information Science, 1983). Glossaries are also available online (for examples see the British
Library's Digital Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts. For a searchabledirectory of online glossaries and topical dictionaries, see Glossarist.
Compare with lexicon and vocabulary. See also:gloss.

Lexicon
Originally, a dictionary of Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, or some other literary language. In modern usage, a specialized dictionary or glossary of
the words of a specific subject or field of study. In linguistics, a list of all the lexical items (lexemes) in a given language. See
also: vocabulary.

Thesaurus
A book of synonyms and near-synonyms in a written language, usually arranged conceptually, although dictionaryarrangement is not
uncommon. The first thesaurus of the English language, published in 1852, was compiled by Peter Mark Roget. For an online thesaurus of
the English language, see Merriam-Webster OnLine.
Also refers to an alphabetically arranged lexicon of terms comprising the specialized vocabulary of an academic disciplineor field of study,
showing the logical and semantic relations among terms, particularly a list of subject headings ordescriptors used as preferred terms
in indexing the literature of the field. In information retrieval, a thesaurus can be used to locate broader terms and related terms if the user
wishes to expand retrieval, or narrower terms to make a search statement more specific. A well-designed thesaurus also enables the
indexer to maintain consistency in the assignment ofindexing terms to documents. Plural: thesauri. See also: controlled vocabulary, lead-in
vocabulary, and metathesaurus.

Dictionary
A single-volume or multivolume reference work containing brief explanatory entries for terms and topics related to a
specificsubject or field of inquiry, usually arranged alphabetically (example: Dictionary of Neuropsychology). The entries in a dictionary
are usually shorter than those contained in an encyclopedia on the same subject, but the word "dictionary" is often used in the titles of works
that should more appropriately be called encyclopedias (example: Dictionary of the Middle Ages in 13 volumes). See also: biographical
dictionary.
A language dictionary lists the words of a language in alphabetical order, giving orthography, syllabication,
pronunciation,etymology, definition, and standard usage. Some dictionaries also include synonyms, antonyms, and
