Next Generation Catalogue: A User’s expectation
Full text linkPaper presented at International CALIBERSince the days of Cutter, tools to access the resources of libraries are changing their structure and
interface rapidly and dramatically to fulfill the dynamic user needs. Today almost every library user
comes with expectations set and defined by their experience of using the Web. So the catalogues,
which are offered by the libraries, need to operate at the same level of sophistication as other
popular Web destinations. The “next generation” library catalog is a tool designed to fit into this
shifting environment and move librarianship into a more active role when it comes to increasing the
sphere of knowledge. The purpose of the paper to examine the present developments and explores
the likely future developments in re-designing the OPAC to support resource discovery. The different
ongoing developments follow a unique approach, but one thread that is common in all of them is
that they involve a desire to go far beyond the capabilities of legacy catalogues and give library
users more powerful and appealing tools

in libraries and consortia. It is a mechanism for transporting metadata and
identifiers describing a publication, for the purpose of context sensitive
linking. The OpenURL is indeed, a way of organizing meta-data in a URL and
pointing it to a destination. It describes the cited object. It helps in accessing
appropriate copy of reference resources
Pygamalion
No full textPygmalion is useful if you wish to convert 1) some of the secondary journal databases like Silver Platter output to ISO-2709 format 2) It can also be used to retroconvert CCF to UNIMARC or any MARC to any other MARC.It was written about 20 years back and perhaps a bit dated and still may be useful in rare cases

These technologies provide a simple, web-based mechanism for researchers to deposit (‘self-archive’) and access their research publications via digital repositories. In this paper we describe the genesis, objective, methodology, contents, advantages, software usages, growth and development of institutional repositories in India
Information Retrieval in Indian Languages
Full text linkThe paper deals with developing stemming algorithms that
could be applied to develop a search and retrieval system for digital
documents in Telugu - a language belonging to the South-central
branch of the Dravidian languages. A set of stemming algorithms is
developed to index and search for documents in the Telugu language.
The algorithms developed demonstrate successfully that stemming
algorithms for Indian languages can be developed for increasing the
search efficiency in Indian languages
Fast web page categorization without the web page
Full text linkhe World Wide Web has enormously
increased day by day. Hence it is necessary for
classifying the web pages. We demonstrate the
usefulness of the uniform resource locator (URL) alone
in performing web page classification. This approach is
faster than typical web page classification, as the pages
do not have to be fetched and analyzed Uniform
Resource Locators (URLs) mark the address of the
resource on the World Wide Web, are often humanreadable
can indicate metadata about the resource[11].
Our approach segments the URL into meaningful tokens.
We construct a binary tree for the entire set of tokens
used in the hyperlinks and use J48 classifier. Our results
show that in certain scenarios, URL-based methods
approach show better performance
