Kerala e-Krishi portal, agri trade call centre launched

The Kerala State Information Technology Mission has launched a toll-free agricultural trade call centre and the revamped e-Krishi Web site.
Speaking at the launch ceremony in the city on Monday, the Kerala Agriculture Minister, Mr Mullakkara Ratnakaran, said the portal should help to create a sense of community and spirit of unity among farmers in the State.
The absence of proper guidance on global developments that will impact local agricultural operations is a problem that confronts Kerala's farmers. Initiatives such as this could help solve such problems, he added.
The e-Krishi portal, www.e-krishi.org is a free site and contains information on a number of topics related to agriculture including agricultural prices and trends.
PROJECT PARTNERS
Besides the Kerala State IT Mission, other agencies involved in the project are the National Institute of Smart Government, Hyderabad, Kerala Department of Agriculture and Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Kerala.

WORKSHOP ON BUILDING WEB BASED INFORMATION SYSTEMS USING GENISISWEB

WORKSHOP ON

BUILDING WEB BASED INFORMATION SYSTEMS USING GENISISWEB

Organised by
Digital Library & Information Services

Indian Institute of Information Technology & Management – Kerala (IIITM-K), Thiruvananthapuram

Date: 11 - 12 April 2007
9.30 AM - 4.30 PM

Venue: IIITM-K, Technopark Campus , Thiruvananthapuram – 695581

About the Workshop

Information and Communication Technology has made profound impact on the society in general and in the field of library and information science in particular. Availability of modern ICT infrastructure forced the libraries to offer many of their services over network, especially over the Web. Emergence of e-only resources, requirement from users for e-resources, and availability of suitable communication mechanisms etc have also compelled to provide electronic information services. In order to provide such speedy services, libraries need to equip themselves with different tools, which enable web-based information dissemination.

Provision of Web based information service is costly and some times becomes unaffordable to many Libraries. Alternatively they may depend on free/low cost solutions for web based information services. The workshop will orient and train the participants in establishing and managing such services. The practice sessions will be based on GenIsisWeb. GenISIS is a state-of-the-art package used to create Web interface for CDS/ISIS databases (or it’s different versions) for developing applications like Digital Libraries, Web based catalogues (WebOPAC), e-Journal Gateways etc. GENISIS is based on the Web CDS/ISIS interface WWWISIS by BIREME.

This Workshop focuses on giving a practical orientation to GenISISWeb for creating web based Information Service. Participation is expected from Librarians, LIS Students, Academia and Industry.

Objectives

To give practical orientation to:
Develop bibliographic database using WinISIS
To publish WinISIS Database over the Web
To develop Digital Libraries using GenISISWeb
To develop Web OPAC using GenISISWeb.
To develop ‘e-Journals Gateway’ using GenISISWeb
To learn data exchange using IsisASCII.
To master development and maintenance of Integrated Online Library Information Systems.

Participants are expected to be proficient in using GenISISWeb after this workshop.
