Open Source Content Management Software : A Comparative Analysis
(INFLIBNET Center, 209-02-25) Giri, Kaushal K; Nirgude, Kirti R
There are many web-authoring software like FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc which have been used to develop and maintain the websites. But gradually, it became difficult to maintain and update the websites because of their very dynamic nature and a variety of file formats. Content Management Systems (CMS) evolved as an alternative to such web-authoring tools. There are many CMS Like Joomla, Drupal, Mambo, Pligg, Plone, Post Nuke, Tweak, Zope etc., but this paper deals with a comparative analysis between Joomla and Drupal. The goal of this comparative study is to find the better CMS of the two according to various selected criteria. The criteria includes installation, platform support, browser support, modules and extensions, documentation, support, user management, multimedia integration, content creation and searching.

Digital Preservation and Persistence of Digital Collection
(INFLIBNET Center, 2009-02-25) Dharini, Agrapu
The growth and development in Information and Communication and Technology is multifaceted and turbulent. Rapid revolutionary advances have taken place in the field of computers and their application in libraries. Internet, high band width networks, explosive growth of web based information resources, sophisticated search engines to access information, high resolution capture devices and growing electronic publications have created the development of digital libraries. Digital Libraries build information resources in the Digital form .Digital materials cannot be said to be preserved if access is lost. The purpose of preservation is to maintain the ability to present the essential elements of authentic digital materials. Digital preservation must ensure that they can hold the collection for future generations .. Digital preservation will only happen if organizations and individuals accept responsibility for it. The starting point for action is a decision about responsibility. Everyone does not have to do everything; everything does not have to be done all at once. The present paper defines the concept of digital preservation , challenges, strategies and an Open Archival Information System ,a reference model for digital preservation.

(INFLIBNET Center., 2009-02-25) Nagaraj, Vaidya; Obaiah, B; Thomas, Abraham
India, the second most populous country, and the most populous democracy in the world. Economic reforms have transformed it into the second fastest growing large economy. It has one of the largest English speaking populations in the world. India offers one of the largest higher education systems in the world. It has around 300 universities with 15000 Colleges of Engineering, Medical, Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Commerce, Science and Management Education out of which nearly 10000 Ph.Ds are being awarded every year. Scholarly journals are considered to be the main carrier of quality scholarly knowledge. In majority of the cases public money is utilized in research projects. Scientists and scholars working on these projects produce articles containing research results. These are sent to scholarly journals for publication. These articles carrying nascent information are expected to generate new cycles of knowledge. However the traditional process of publishing system of print-only journals prevent easy and quick access to these articles. Providing open access to the research work will help the researchers, especially in the developing world, to have access to the research literature from across the world. The paper outlines the features of one of most popular open source software Open Journal Systems (OJS) for Open access journal publishing. More and more number of open access journals in India will bring a significant increase in the productivity and visibility of Indian scientific research.
Practical Framework for Harvesting Standard Metadata in DigitalRepository
(INFLIBNET Center, 2009-02-25) Pal, Jiban K
Metadata research drastically improved the resource discovery mechanism in accessing information from a large distributed environment. Even technological capabilities permit multiple metadata schemas for standardizing the structure and content of indexing information towards an efficient resource discovery. This paper presents the issues on standard metadata in order to pursue digital repositories and dynamic web pages. It proposes various means of harvesting metadata using optimum standards and protocols. It also enumerates inherent mechanisms for metadata harvesting in DSpace enabled repositories through various harvesting tools; and evaluates XML as current popular choice for metadata harvesting (OAI-PMH) and exchange. System support to multiple metadata formats in DSpace has been discussed thoroughly. Finally it recognizes interoperability and extensibility functions that are being realized increasingly towards a long-term management and preservation of digital objects. However the glimpses of metadata production tools (newer & developed) could accelerate the digital repository initiatives with an increasing popularity of open access movement in real world.

E-Journal Usage and Scholarly Communication using Transaction Log Analysis: A Case Study of E- Journal (Full Text) Download Patterns of NAL Scientists and Engineers
(INFLIBNET Center, 2009-02-25) Guruprasad, R; Nikam, Khaiser; Rao, M Gopinath; Mudkavi, Vidyadhar
Most scientists today have access to full-text e-journals. In most cases, this facility is provided right at the desktop. In this paper, we present a case study of full-text e-journal patterns amongst the scientists and engineers at the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), a constituent of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). The facility at NAL is provided right to the desktop through the NAL-CSIR-NISCAIR e-conglomerate. Today, National Institute of Science Communication and Information Research (NISCAIR) provides e-access to more than 4042 world-class e-journals to all S&T personnel of the CSIR fraternity. This CSIR-NISCAIR initiative allows any scientist in any CSIR Laboratory to access this electronic information to keep abreast of the latest technological developments in his area of specialization. The analysis of data on the full-text e-journal patterns is presented for the period 2005 to 2007. The major findings that we would like to highlight in this paper are: (a) the mean number (per-month) of full-text downloads for the above three years was found to be different through Kruskal Wallis test of ‘One Way Analysis of Variance’ at 1% level of significance and (b) Chi-Square test was applied to test whether there is independence between the years and the publishers. The calculated value of Chi- Square was found to be 510.6, which is highly significant. Hence we conclude that for the full-text downloads data, the years and the publishers are not independent. This Chi-Square test was carried out for only those publishers (4 in number) for which the data was available for all the three years (2005-2007).

An Innovative Approach to Content Search Across P2P Inter-Networks
(INFLIBNET Center, 2009-02-25) Saradhi, Potharaju S R P; Shaik, Mohmed Nazurudin; Aditya, Potharaju S R
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing has emerged as a popular model aiming at further utilizing Internet information and resources. Flooding is the basic method of searching in unstructured P2P networks; however, the blind flooding based search mechanism causes a large volume of unnecessary traffic, and greatly limits the performance of P2P systems. Our study shows that a large amount of this unwanted traffic is divinable and can be avoided while searching in P2P networks. In this paper, we aim at reducing the volume of unnecessary traffic, by proposing An Unnecessary Message Prediction based Searching mechanism (UMPS). UMPS is a pure distributed scheme, it is based on the distributed neighbor list where neighbors within two hops are stored in. UMPS cuts down unwanted traffic by terminating unnecessary flooding that has been predicted in advance, and the techniques related to distributed neighbor list are also discussed. Simulation results show that more than 60% unnecessary messages can be reduced by UMPS, and the query coverage range is retained at the same time, and more unwanted messages can be reduced if a peer has larger degree, therefore load balancing is achieved also.
