Version 3.0 is now almost ready with a lot more features. So I request anybody interested in WebBiblio to wait for the release of new version, insteadof starting with the currently available version 2.0. Now i update the demo to the latest version.

Orgaized by DELNET, NACLIN is the foremost conference in India in the field of Library and Information Science.

The paper and presentation can be downloaded here http://webbiblio.sourceforge.net/postnuke/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1 I have been working on WebBiblio for some time. Made some major changes and added some functionalities. You can see a demo here. Now WeBBiblio search can be limited to seleted collections and material types. It also offering RSS feeds for latest additions. So WebBiblio users can know about the latest additions in the subject gateway, without actually visiting a site. Also now the home page displays latest additions and most popular records in the left frame. I haven't uploaded the new version to SourceForge yet. I'll do it soon after doing some more testing. If somebody need it soon, please feel free to mail me at jack@jackeapen.org http://webbiblio.sourceforge.net/postnuke/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=2 The DESIRE Information Gateways Handbook is good tool for organizations planning to develop information/subject gateways. The Handbook Web site is run by the Institute for Learning and Research Technology, University of Bristol.This handbook is designed to support libraries and other organisations interested in setting up large-scale information gateways on the Internet.It offers a step by step guide and points to tools, examples and documentation, which can support the process. The handbook is divided into three sections to reflect the managerial, information and technical issues that building a gateway raises.The handbook aims in particular, to support the development of large-scale gateways in Europe, which can support researchers looking for high quality research information on the Internet. By adopting standard practices, these gateways have the potential to form an international network of gateways that can be cross-searched by researchers across the continent.
