Dear <br />
Shri Sugumaran/all,<br />
<br />
Obviously <br />
it will work.<br />
You <br />
can place browsing classifiers such as “1000-1999”, “2000-2999” and so on as <br />
links on the home page itself, by editing it. If <br />
you allow your common sense to work well, you can do wonders with Genisis. <br />
Winisis with Genisis is a wonderful programme. You can add text, image, audio, <br />
video etc into your collection, develop them into a digital library and get them <br />
displayed at ease. The advantage of it is that nothing will happen to the <br />
original documents unlike as in Greenstone or some other applications which <br />
convert the documents into another format. If something wrong happens in <br />
between, there is a possibility of losing the original documents if you don’t <br />
keep them separately right from the original set. Winisis with Genisis does not build the <br />
collection. It only takes the metadata and works as an interface to display the <br />
original documents. So <br />
my remark is that it is the easiest and the most useful prototype digital <br />
library far useful than any other general digital library application, in a <br />
sense. But we did not use it properly. That does not mean that Greenstone, <br />
which I love so much, is bad. It is also another wonder which can be put to many <br />
potential uses. Every <br />
application has its own disadvantages. One problem of Winisis-Genisis is that it <br />
is for the earlier versions of Windows. It does not work on 64 bit computer. <br />
There are lack of features like <br />
non-compliance with Unicode, user uploading not possible and such other things <br />
for Winiss-Genisis.<br />
<br />
It <br />
is my view that many librarians have not been using the potential of many of <br />
such applications effectively as reasonably possible. In many places, the <br />
institutional environment remains bad. In some other cases, the librarians did <br />
not have the ability to use them. In some institutions, they were not exposed to <br />
the importance and possibilities by senior librarians and library schools. <br />
Seniors have no chance to learn as Juniors can because of the obvious <br />
difficulties in going ahead with the technologies that are only a decade or more <br />
old. Now <br />
it seems to me that the librarians should keep up with the emerging trends and <br />
run fast. The technologies have become so simple. A few clicks are enough <br />
to create so many applications. Greenstone is so easy to use unlike its earlier <br />
versions. Librarians should go a little ahead too. Content Management Systems <br />
like “Drupal” and Learning Management Systems like “Moodle” are what librarians <br />
should familiarize with. Self learning of them is possible with good manuals. <br />
Many teachers and even computer professionals do not know how to use them. If <br />
librarians learn and use them, they can become significant partners in education <br />
– with the help of teachers, but not alone - rather than remaining as mere <br />
distributors of books in physical form or digital. <br />

the records of mfn from 1000 to 1999, I can use the search as "all" and <br />
