okay so hello everyone welcome to day two of the webinar on digital library technology my name is regina duffy and along with my colleague callie stahl from villanova university we'll be helping to facilitate the webinar and introduce speakers throughout the session today please note that this event will be recorded and will soon be available on the vufine website all attendees will be muted we will be monitoring feedbacks so please feel free to comment in the live chat and please submit all questions using the q a feature found at the bottom of your screen a brief facilitated q a session will take place after each presentation if time permits so first today i would like to introduce our reporter mr bharat chahadri mr bharat chaudhry is working as an assistant librarian with pandit diandel petroleum university greninjar he is an m.a with economics and did an mlsic degree in 2006 and before we begin the next sessions we would like to quickly introduce professor satishaar ramjoshi institute of engineering chubuhan university nepal will be managing q a for the next two talks and now i invite mr sakib ahmed brock university bangladesh to talk on working on a koha server system good morning everyone i am saki mohammed and i will be speaking on working on poha server system before that let me introduce myself i am working as a system programmer for the last four years in our shop [Music] we use debian in our production servers so working on server system of gohan today i am going to talk about what we are going to teach in our core server system classes in the slides you will be seeing the listed modules we'll be covering and i'm going to just briefly go over what we are going to teach so installation of gohan in this course we are going to talk detail about which hardware configuration is best suited for you will our workstation will be enough for you or do you need a production server to support your users we'll be learning about which linux distribution to use what apache server is mysql database is and power packages for koha in the installation process to install koha you need to use both command line and web staller so we will be covering both and we will be also showing how to create libraries patron item types to get your lms running and in the core detail koha course is sunita will cover the entire working system of gohan and there is a neat feature in koha to run multiple instances of a same installation we will also be covering that are changing jabra is a high performance general purpose structure takes indexing and retrieval engine koha uses zebra as a certain name after every successful installation or after an upgrade zebra needs to be reinstalled re-indexed in order to work we will be learning how to call learning different command line combinations to work with zebra the zebra is the search engine that shows you the search result when you type in your opec koha has that 39.5 server z39.5 is a client server protocol for searching and retrieving information from remote computer databases we can use gohar to copy cataloging records from other libraries who allows access to that 39.5 we'll be learning how to configure that 39.5 servers to connect with other libraries there are some samples of university who allows their 39 allows that 39 to copy their records server configuration to notify users each so after each circulation on their check-in and check out the status and to send or overdue notices koha allows you to send email notification in this course we'll be learning how to configure both exim and specific mail transfer agent with gmail to send notification in bracket university we use wastrix as a mail transfer agent and we will also be showing how to configure your messages enable enhanced messaging preference how to create overdue notices and trigger them enable messaging preference for each pattern categories database maintenance and job shooter taking database backup is very simple in koha koha uses mysql database as database engine for its backend using simple mysql command we can backup dump the databases and can restore back whenever needed cron jobs a conjob is a linux command for scheduling a command or script on your server to compete to complete repetitive tasks automatically has many con jobs in place that you can enable for each for search engine indexing overdue notice generation data cleanup and more we'll be learning how to write cron jobs in detail for any system administration administrator learning to write proper con jobs is very necessary additional configuration we are planning to cover how to enable available regional languages in koha interface and searching with regional languages in our back university library you can search with bro with bangla language and there is a bangla keyboard built in on screen magazine and we all we will also be learning how to enable on-screen creeper and sl as we use our credential to log into koha we can [Music] mo though certificates are are paid services there are there are a few ways to install free ssl certificate in your system we'll be learning two of them self-signed certificate and free ssl certified certificate signed by a certificate authorities so thank you everyone for listening and i would like to end by saying wishing well to all during this global pandemic and hope everyone keeps safe and you have if you have any questions please write in the qa thank you thank you mr ahmed now professor satisha ramjoshi will facilitate a brief q a oh thank you very much mr sakib for your nice presentation there is one question how to install language of pakistan first we have to see if the urdu language package is available power language package is available to install in koha if this is available then the installing or enabling urdu bangla or hindi all goes through the same process okay there is another question from this record from other libraries but since last month i am facing a problem of connection with server what may be the cause so if you can write detail in the uh qa that which libraries you are failing to connect now but you are able to done it before then i might be able to help you sort this out so please mention the libraries you are not going to carry now okay there is another question what is the home job command control command is it's a service uh you write the different commands in contact which runs periodically depending uh on the time you have [Music] i am trying to connect with library of congress so i think he had a problem in that case so uh if you are still having a trouble so my i will be providing my mail address please uh send me a mail i will be talking to with our cataloguer she regularly works with our catalog in our books so she can verify if our system is also having any problem with library of congress if not then i will try to i will try to help you figuring out your problem in detail so i will write my email in the message box so please knock me up there yeah any more okay no open questions okay thank you very much mr asaki thank you thanks to you both another question another question it was there uh now i think okay so i have answered it yeah you got it is it necessary to run geobraga is time after cataloging no it's not uh you after a successful installation you run wait once and if you upgrade your system or if you want to rebuild your rebuild your indexing then you have to run your zebra but there is no need to run your indexing after every indexing because in the uh what i have talked about that in con there is a part called zebra indexing in the con settings you can make a con command that your zebra indexing command will be running after 10 minutes or after 15 minutes so this will be covered in the corn section okay thank you okay for ready to move on um now i invite professor ard prasad to present on d space hello everybody so i will be talking about the d space basically my the agenda of today's topic is i give why i mean the entire open access information system has led to the creation of digital repositories and what exactly these spaces why we should go for this space personally i believe why i have gone for these space then what we cover in the training program so basically t space is a digital object management system and you can create a digital object you can search for it and the basic idea is to retrieve the digital object then it facilitates preservation of digital object though not to the full satisfaction of preservation metadata kind and open source software definitely that is the main attraction and allows open access and self archiving self archiving is the model where the authors try to upload their own publications for public use so that that is the key concept in open access to information allows building repositories uh institutional repositories are subject repositories actually this space is agnostic to whether you are building an institutional repository or a subject repository normally it is the content that decides it is actually we run a subject-based repository called the librarians digital library where any librarian in the world can upload their document that means it is not the publications of our institute if we put only the publications then we call it an institutional repository so the software of course we recommend linux because it's an open source software technically you can run because it is built on java and you know as long as java virtual machine you should be able to run on any operating system and of course as a servlet engine you can use either apache tomcat or racing or jetty or jboss or there are many of this kind uh personally of course apache is much more powerful but a little heavy yeti is a little lighter but in fact in our live live cd which is going to be released soon hopefully before the end of the month we are using jetty then of course it uses a database management system postgres sql and if you have a fat pocket you can buy oracle also for scaling purposes but i tell you really using warakhil is a overkill for the simple reason many of the institutional repositories around the world they really do not have huge collection that is running into uh some millions of digital objects so postgres should do which is highly scalable and definitely it is more scalable than mysql though it is slightly sluggish than myspl so what this page can do is uh it's uh it captures digital content that means you can upload any of that and any researcher or author can upload their own publications then it has facilities to describe the digital object that is being uploaded so mostly it uses i think its native metadata schema is qualified doubling code with slight modifications but again if you want it has facilities to modify and adopt any other metadata schema or your own but it may not be standardized metadata what you are going to do if you uh deviate from the standards and it supports voya pmh protocol so that anybody can share their metadata with the rest of the world what could be the possible content practically anything okay that is you can put preprints or publications post prints technical reports conference papers thesis and dissertations and even data sets in fact there is one soft program dried it uses this space okay so if you want you can put statistical data or geophysical or scientific data and another aspect from the format's point of view you can put images audio files video files text text files or even spreadsheets or presentations pdfs etc uh i hope you are following my accent i think subcontinent people we have an understanding of how we pronounce uh i mean the english pronunciation maybe americans may have a little difficult difficulty in understanding our actions okay it has lots of interfaces one is uh the basic jsp ui interface that is java server pages then if you want one can have even xml ui with that there are many themes one is a mannequin rubric classic mirage and mirage tool mirage 2 is especially helpful if somebody wants to access a repository through mobile computers not only computers even mobiles and file formats so you can see usually it comes under the scope is under the long term preservation one of the key elements characteristics of long-term preservation is if the digital object is in a open standard format so it is easier to migrate from one format to another format as appropriately lock-in would not be there that is the advantage of using open standards any programmer you can request your programmer to change one format to another format because both specs may be available on the net so that is the reason we believe that open standards play a very key role in long-term preservation again i am using the word long term because there is not nothing called preservation forever okay then known and supported of course the administrator can decide we can show you in the coming the timing course how to uh how the administrator manages to give the information to the authors uh so and so on a format is supported that means in future we take care of the migration okay from one format to the other unsupported means i am not going to migrate if it is in a different format for which he probably which is a commercial format i mean proprietary format that's why we may not support it though we know some are unknown format you know in the in the field of file formats i think plethora formats are around so the basic information model is we divide into at the broadest level we try to organize our digital selection into for example in the context of a university library perhaps we can say that anthropology department or sociology department our physics department like that are sometimes if it is a software industry is using the uh digital deposit i mean this space for digital repository they they can say developers community or testing community or marketing guys like that so anything relevant information to the various communities within the same lab can be organized into communities and under each community we can have different collections say collection of photographs or collection of faces or talk for emails like that and each collection will have item so all these will be explained in the coming the forthcoming training course so we know that in the when the the industry wants everything in the including our lives they talk a lot about the intellectual property so whenever we distribute we have to mention whether a particular digital object or even software and under what license it is being distributed you know that there are many licenses even licenses for open access and for that matter creative commons has different flavors of licenses probably you might have observed on my presentation in the first slide i have put creative commons zero license that means any one of you can you can distribute it if you want you can replace my name with your name and distribute it okay that means i the i don't have any objection because it is distributed under creative commons zero license so the backend technology that is being used for setting up a digital repository using these spaces apache web server or you can use engine x also and you can integrate with the secure socket layer so that it becomes http yes which just now our friend from bangladesh was talking about then of course basically it uses java so you may you you have many java compilers that is open jdk is there are from oracle also you have java except that you have to make a little signature i mean agreement to your sign then you can have tomcat or jetty or postgres cnri handles you know now nowadays uh even in cesare and authors everybody has unique ids so we are creating a world of persistent ids in the context of books we have isbn but in the context of digital objects probably either dui and cnri we will show you how to have your own cnri handle system if you have your budget is constrained but also much of the commercial guys use dui but this space supports both so if you don't have we will show you how to create a local handle okay then it supports a losing search engine of course now uh mostly i put solar substitutes leucine and why i can't that is to support why ipm protocol okay from oclc they have adopted oai cat and you know that as i have already told standards are very important for interoperability and also if it is long-term preservation and interoperability you should follow open stance data using voya pmh protocol and also another latest protocol object reuse and exchange dspace supports it if you are generous we will teach you how to share your digital objects so that they can harvest not only your metadata but also your digital objects qualified doubling for your unicode just now our friend was mentioning whether urdu can be created uh just i would like to add urdu is a language probably the script is arabic a unicode address is definitely arabic then i think qdci repeated and it supports rss and atom fields also so why we opted for this space in fact when i tried uh there was already in the market the aprons and greenstone digital libraries i thought greenstone that time was not following many standards e-print has its own this one but the moment i came to know about this place i think overnight i fell in love with it honestly and then we launched it by the next day uh but worldwide also you can see i borrowed it from open door uh this space um i think 40 percent of the repositories this information i collected yesterday i should have mentioned the date e-prince is 11 percent and the rest of them are single-digit implementations so just i collected only i think our subcontinent region but if i remember if you uh a year back i see i think the united states has the uh the largest footprint followed by india surprisingly in any case if we look into the subcontinent you can see the figure soon uh us has about 316 installations and india has 212 and bangladesh pakistan nepal to have uh displaced this one the next version it is expected sometime this year will be released with a different uh user interface called the angular in which case now you know the d space user community is divided between jsp ui and xml ui okay uh whenever we last our live cd we released only with a xml ui just to speed up tomcat but many people started asking how do we invoke jspy but i think once the angular replaces both i guess i think if you find uses angular uh anyhow when uh the turn of damian comes probably he will give more uh clarification on that but functionality wise i don't think there would be much change in angular ui so the d space we will cover in our training course the an overview of this space and how information into communities and collections is being organized i gave only a brief idea then what kind of users whether anonymous users authors reviewers and metadata editors collection administrators there are a a plethora of user communities attached to this space and the workflow what exactly the workflow just as in a library you buy the book then it goes to classification then catalan then finally it comes to the server then our administration okay whether how to manage or how to make some documents less open or more open and emails than interface everything of course administrator should be mr know all of entire d space so with that i i thank you and definitely i look forward to answer your questions if there are any uh thank you very much professor prd president informative presentation there are a couple of questions to you these days have annotation module or are there any development in these aspects uh you mean annotation module module yeah annotation right now annotation is not there as such long back i remember some of the developers were talking about how to attach another and other things to the best of my knowledge right now annotation is not there probably future releases may have okay okay friends there is another question we are using but for digital service what software we can use see koha is basically meant for basic library management okay it's a lms software and of course it has many modules uh and this space is fairly simple it's a self archiving model for authors you need not be librarians though probably librarians are in the forefront in organizing or administering d space instances but these spaces you upload a document full text or sonar simply metadata and the others can access and download it whereas qoha has you know circulation various library activities usually i say d space is very easy to learn and where whereas koha is as completely complicated as my library community it has many many modules okay thank you there is another question is little long i am using these spheres to create a different collection some of them is for individual author we create a profile page for those author for their owner no i am not too clear can can you could you please repeat okay so i am using this ps and have created a different collection is for individual author okay i think he's trying to ask whether those authors they can get some honor or not must unfortunately i am not clear about the question it shows what are all his publications so i am no i know this simplistic answer you must be knowing i think i will interrupt when this authors create their orcid id uh probably through there they can get their profile details by default in air b space there is no way by which you can create a profile okay okay yeah this is supports our kid yeah okay there is another question dcps can free download it of course i mean open source otherwise i would not have talked about it i know usually [Music] open source software i i don't use any commercial software uh there are a lot of questions i think i don't know how to entertain all these questions okay let because this question it will be there and i think you can answer it later on also okay let us say as it is saved this year's okay actually i really i am not sure i believe it should work but because you know that i don't use windows machine and in linux you know all these software postgres or apache all these are readily available you don't have to download them and configure them what people when they say that windows is user friendly what they are talking is end user level not at system administration level i believe system administration perhaps ubuntu is a little easier i do not know because i have been using unix systems uh since in 1982-83 onwards so uh there could be problems otherwise if they don't want they can use virtual machine on windows and run one of the live series okay there is another one question is quite long i think you can answer it later on so i will just ask you very short short questions uh can we create bibliographical database using this case of course if you don't want to upload any document and enter only metadata and if you want to go for mark 21 you have to customize your input screens the entire one would be a bibliographic data only okay you you may not have the actual documents because this space allows an option whether you want to upload a document or just enter metadata and leave it there [Music] one last question can i install koha on ubuntu mint oh yes that is the idea of these live series i think we have been offering with the gohan d space and viewfinder and the process pradhan is uh adding a few more subjects plus at the word wordpress so they they they live together in fact viewfind has capability of bringing poha records under the dispensary cards into a single uh platform viewfind platform where you can view together so that you don't have to go separately so you can search both gohan d space from viewfinder a single stop uh interface to both of them okay now all the functionality only the bibliography records uh i think we are lagging behind the stipulated time so i think later on you can answer the question okay let me wrap up there were two presentations today one by mr sakib ahmad he was talking about working on power server system so he talked about pro as a year 39.5 server one server configuration database maintenance and job scheduling and additional configuration so how to incorporate regional language in and essentially so thank you very much mr sakib ahmad and the next another presentation it was by professor erdi uh you talk about this yes so he said what is a gcs why dcs you talk about digital management system what are the software requirements you talk about relational database and what these space it can do you talk about the personal content aliens audio video file how to do the interfacing how the file format and migration of the file format it can be done we talk about the information model intellectual property back-end technology standard support dcs implementation and next person 7.0 i think this is the wrap-up quick wrap-up of the two presentation today and thank you very much to both uh mr sakib ahmad and professor ernie persa thank you very much so now this section is closed thank you very much thank you all before we begin the next session i would like to mention that miss indira dali will be managing q a for the next two talks and now i would like to malcolm welcome miss goma benjate civil aviation authority nepal who will speak about wordpress you good evening everybody my topic is wordpress especially using wordpress in libraries for making library website first of all i would like to first of all i would like to start my presentation with thoughts about librarians in the non-stop tsunami of global information librarians provide us with projects and teach us to see and next if you want a future of libraries it's within you and the librarians my presentation live outlines these are my presentation outlines about wordpress it's a free and open source it's a free and open source content management system written in psp and with a sql and mariadb database it was released on may 27 2003 by honduras american developer martin lingard and english developer mike little as a fork of b or capila this software is released under the general public license person q there's also the platform of choice all over 35 of all sites across the web its latest version is 5.4.2 and it's an open source project has in progressive ways over time supporting skilled enthusiastic developers designers scientists bloggers and many more this is about wordpress taken from we keep it here uh this shows the short details of wordpress about wordpress wordpress has taken the market of about 62.6 percent among all other content management systems of the world why wordpress why should we use wordpress because it's a free and open source software it's easy to use and easy to customize it is flexible while designing a website it has very strong security features and very good searching facility and it's also con simple content management system and it has a facility of api different plugins and social media features it is optimized for a speed and there is great support from its online contributors since its open software we can create any type of website using our wordpress for example e-commerce website a blog like message video website appointment working website photography website directory website classified ad listing website membership website question answer forum and knowledge says wiki website it's just a very easy content management system similar to word or word processing program it lets one manage a library website more easily separating the task of maintenance from the job of contents administrative users can configure customize and features to the website while editors and contributors can edit and manage their own contributors without any difficulties without though they do not have more technical knowledge wordpress why we should use wordpress for making library websites because it has multi sites facilities multi users can work together and plugins like cohassers who find have been developed for wordpress and subject plus shortcode for wordpress can be importing uh using um importing subject guide tools in wordpress and security concerns and updates with latest course with latest versions can be easily handled and the wordpress server requirement for version 5.2 or late later the recommended hardware requirements for running wordpress are disk space 1 gb or higher uh web server opposite or english database mysql version 5.0.15 or greater or any version of db ram 115 1 type 12 mb or greater psp person 7.3 at least version 7.3 and push this at least one gigahertz and it's easy to install wordpress it takes not more than 10 years but for your installation i have to check you have to make sure your whole web host has meaning minimum requirements to run wordpress downloading the most current person unzipping the downloaded files creating a secure website keep the open during installation and these are the steps for installing wordpress in five minutes and some links to install wordpress are here and it has the front end and back end prompting for user interface and back end for the administrators uh it is also backend is also called a dashboard and admin channel we can create add our edit menus post pages videos etc that we require through the dashboard this is the screen sort of dashboard at a glance it can we can see six ports for pages comments and many other things at a glance there are many plugins for library content management library management system cohort source wizard subject plus source code workface pmb uh plugin or wordpress to find for wordpress google and plugin i think it is being developed by dreaming cards and uh now the open training team is going to organize training package on digital technologies uh within which wordpress is a portion of the package uh so i'm going to see the information what will be the course outline module 1 instruction and its installation and module 2 anatomies of wordpress website common architectures of site this this will be done practically admin panel post images category and comments themes plugins wizards menus etc and next um working with posts and pages or press post pages creating wordpress post editing updating and deleting the post assigning the post with specific category and tags post with features images and module 4 working working with wordpress themes how to find which of wordpress theme is using and how to search a theme for a website and customizing a theme and next the extending functionality of workplace will also be taught in the training plugins plugins of interest libraries and security related plugins and then preparing wordpress for multi-site allow multi-site installing networks address of sites and enabling network and admin setting and next wordpress security secure setting secure file permission disabling directory for with access to sensitive files remove the wordpress number securing your wordpress database and um and multiple installation prevent hot linking and the objective of the course is to install wordpress in linux operating system find an act in activate a suitable theme for their institution and find [Music] and install plugins and create pages post and menu create to create featured images posts and pages install multi sites for a wordpress site prepare a secure library website these are the references thank you for joining the sessions thank you miss bonjadi now miss indira dali will facilitate a brief q a shhh i i believe you're muted i could not listen to you you could not hear me now we can thank you yeah yes now i can yeah thank you now go my man thank you for your so nice presentation on wordpress now i invite all parties participants who want to ask if they have any confusion or any questions about her presentation well i am a still practitioner in wordpress and i am so novice for it in this international webinar or workshops tell me if i can there are a few questions uh in the q a uh if you hit the q a button near the bottom of the screen they should be visible one question can we import citation data from google scholar or gate it is from girl one question is that and the second question is sadhada massoud his question is what are the types of books in wordpress and what are their function and the third question is from even espinoza why not drupal and fourth question is mr oscar raymond can we design a dynamic website by wordpress first of all government first question is can we import citation data from google i'm not sure about the importing citation data from google scholar or resource kit because i have not done it yeah sorry i'm sorry for that and and the second one hooks up in wordpress and what are their functions that also and in confusion i do not know and about a drupal though i have not wanted it it's a bit complex than wordpress drupal is not so easy as wordpress in wordpress we can work like in microsoft word or wordpress and the next one designing dynamic website by wordpress easiest and the next one will you please hear popular plugins librarians can use for library websites like mail clips etc because [Music] regarding plugins there are many but i have to look for it i'm using um cohassers okay then do you teach blogging development uh in development part uh we do not teach just for using uh taking from the web and installing and making activate next one is it is it possible to install wordpress huawei and dsps in the same linux server on the server part i think answer will answer and uh to use for delhi basis information i think if gomez you are not in a position to answer this question i think monster will happen yes i will answer yes the first thing is that uh can we go up can we go up if in the same server less space and wordpress and other software can be installed the question is yes and we have developed the live dvd where there are five software packages and not only five up to five software packages more software packages it is not limited by wordpress also it is limited by the space of the server so you can install as many software as you like any plugin for wordpress to use for daily basis information regarding users we have already listed so many plugins to use for wordpress by uh for the use of the library and so we will be going to teach all these things in details in our fourth coming training courses clones of command is uh why what kind of use this chromosome means time setting scheduling a particular uh job with a particular timeline that is the clones of any special features of wordpress that drupals or other cms not having i'm not saying anything say about groupons or other cms but the main things why we choose wordpress is that it is very simple to use and it has a so many good features of the security in recent days so that's why we have chosen the wordpress so i think that i have answered all of the questions which uh government uh had not answered latest plug-in dev blog is plug-in development in wordpress we do not teach the plug-in developer but we teach how to reconfigure the plugins how security is wordpress yes it is full secure now our participants are satisfied with the answers given by dr moon pradhan are they satisfied or any confusion it's okay it's fine yeah so now question and answer session is completed i think so okay um if we're ready to move on um i can introduce share of zel khan chief librarian air university pakistan president koho pakistan to say a few words as he we experience a little bit of technical difficulty yesterday uh yes thank you very much can you hear me yes we can hear you uh thank you very much for providing me such opportunity to say something about the yesterday meeting my apologize for not joining as a panelist pendant due to some technical reason and today i will summarize the session which was held in yesterday the first session was conducted by mr uh mohan raj pardan about the live dvd and he celebrate all the thing very well and he explained how the live dvd is working i i also listen some question in the session uh some of the people asking about what is live dvd and how we can uh use this i think uh uh sir fardan explained very well and as we know that the the live dvd is only for the training purpose and to create some awareness about the uh technology software for the librarian as we know the library is not knowing that some of the library is not capable to uh install this technology at once like linux operating system is a very difficult part of the librarian so sir thank you very much for providing such good good opportunity for the entire region uh to produce such such live dvd in pakistan we are also working with librivity and i have also created three four dvds but uh the way which uh fordhams have created the dvd is very compatible and all the software like linux operating system and other three to four softwares are available so everyone can use for the production service to server to if you want to install this live dvd on your production servers and then you can also upgrade and then you can also uh work on for the production servers some of the question was asking about the second session was regarding the open source software which was which was conducted by professor uh ram joshi it was also very comprehensive and when explained a session about the open source uh software he also elaborate very well about how we can use open source soft software yet he was not a librarian but i think his command in open source software regarding the live ready matter was very well he explained about how we can use the open source technology in our in our library is i'm sorry is there developed countries like india pakistan bangladesh nepal bhutan afghanistan in the surrounding countries we are looking for the open source solution because the library is not able to purchase the commercial software yet there are some there are some uh disadvantages of these software but uh related to the coha software which i am using since last twenty year and i'm working on that is very compatible for the libraries in around the nation so uh everyone can use this open source technology around the world and we are also recommended like uh today i have listened about the d space software which has very well explained and these space koha is also one of the best software for the technology like wordpress is also free on open source like joomla like other things are also available free of course so he is very uh uh very well explained about how the advantages of these softwares the third session was regarding to the technologies of metadata rda and metadata and mark we know uh these are the bibliographic frameworks and can be used for the bibliographic records of like uh d space is uh dealing with dublin core technologies and these are the bibliographical works so she talking miss hanissa approach she was talking about these technology and she's also explained very well and i really appreciate uh she's also thinking about uh to shifted his library um to the uh new technology the new bibliographic framework rda so really appreciate it and we are looking for is this her experience how the libraries are now moving to the uh from the mark to rda i'm usually working says the technology business lab 12 years and i'm also converting the data from mark to excel to uh marked from it and i am i'm also working with the d space technology uh like development core technology we are sorry dublin core um metadata are using for this software so every librarian every technical expert should know about the term in in in the way how we can use these bibliographic frameworks in standards in the uh like uh like uh in other open source software so we must know about what is rda and how they are dealing with the uh with the weather standards so we also should know about the d space if you are using these space so the librarian should know about the dublin core metadata technology so this is very ideal in good presentation so i really appreciate all the presenter they are presenting very well and really appreciate sir raj fardhan in other muhammadan he invited me to act like as a as a chair of the session so i'm really appreciated and i wish we all together we can also make some consortia to promote open source technologies for the betterment of our librarianship in the region so uh thank you very much for all of you all of finalists like damian andradels umar hassan [Music] for inviting me and to having me

the end of the session mr kaz thanked all the panelists and participants for attending the webinar so thank you okay um and now i invite my colleague mr damian katz director of library technology at villanova university's valve memorial library to talk about vu find hello and thank you so uh we've talked about a whole lot of software today and i think it's fitting that we end with viewfind because uh viewfind's purpose is to kind of bring many of these things together so what is viewfind uh it's a flexible search engine and discovery interface for all of your content and end user functionality as we've discussed over the last couple of days there are many software tools that you might need to use for different aspects managing your library uh and it's helpful to your end users if they don't have to learn many different interfaces to reach your content so the purpose of viewfind is to provide a single place that can bring together all of that information and make it accessible to your users it's open source it's highly configurable designed to be customizable without having to do a lot of coding work um it's also highly extensible so that you can write connectors to make it compatible with more systems if you need to and it's supported by an active and friendly community of developers who are always happy to help and welcome new users speaking of supported content and systems the software itself is built using php using laminas components with apache solar as its indexing layer these are all fairly widely used tools it's capable of importing many types of records including mark 21 and common flavors of xml which makes it possible to bring together content from all sorts of systems and make it searchable in a single index as demonstrated by the live dvd that was discussed yesterday it's compatible with many of the other systems that we've discussed in this webinar including subjects plus and dspace and coho uh it can pull in content from integrated library systems content management systems and just about anything that runs on the web let's look at a few key features first of all it presents a simple google-like search interface there's a single box users type a search into it they get results uh the results are by default relevance ranked meaning that uh the software uses an algorithm to make the most relevant searches rise to the top of the list and because it's very configurable you have the ability to change settings and adjust what is most important it also uses faceted navigation which you can see along the right side of the screenshot to help users narrow down their search according to specific categories uh the system also provides access to common library user functions like renewing books checking uh for fines placing holds and so forth and because viewfind has a consistent interface uh even it doesn't really matter what software you're using in the background of you find will always look the same giving you the ability for example to change between different systems without disrupting your users if for example you're on a commercial ios now and you want to change to coha you could introduce viewfind first then make the change users wouldn't be able to tell the difference the software also includes user managed content users can create lists of records for their own reference they can share comments and set tags and so forth it provides commonly expected search features like did you mean spelling suggestions uh related records uh and autocompletes while users are typing in the search box it uses responsive design which means that the single user interface of viewfind will adjust its display based on the size of the screen being used so that it can work equally well on a desktop machine or a mobile device it includes the ability to create citations for records and export to various reference management applications like refworks and zotero and it's been translated into many languages currently it includes interface translations for more than 30 regions within the viewfind community one of our highest priorities over the past year has been making the software more accessible to end users through training and documentation efforts uh the community holds a monthly call that anyone is welcome to join and on all of those calls we've been doing tutorials for several months resulting in a new video being posted every month on the viewfind website at the link on this slide which is also where this webinar recording will be shared in the near future so currently we have videos covering how to install the software how to index mark records how to customize the user interface by creating themes how to configure search and facet settings how to administer uh the software in a production environment how to share and harvest records using the oai pmh protocol how to index xml and how to index websites and more comes every month additionally i've been working on writing a 16 chapter book on the application covering all of the content that's in the videos as well as the history of the software how to use the solar index application how to customize the way records are displayed how to combine multiple types of searches into a single interface how to customize the supplemental recommendation information you find presents along with search results how to interface with uh apis like worldcat summon an ebsco discovery service in addition to solar and also uh in broad terms how to understand and extend viewfind's php code uh this book is currently in draft form but i will be making it freely available when it is fully completed uh it's currently being reviewed by several people and of course as has been mentioned many times during this webinar there are going to be training classes coming in september this will cover the same content as my viewfinder book but it will add more hands-on work and opportunities to interact with others also worth mentioning is that viewfinds community has an annual summit where we get together to present in more detail about the software and plan for its future uh this year because of the pandemic we are not meeting in person but we are having an international online event uh which will run from september 29th to october 1st uh we're currently uh in the planning phases there's a url on this slide which uh leads to a planning survey if you're interested in participating in the summit whether you're familiar with viewfind or new i would really appreciate if you could fill out this survey and tell us what you would like to see and this url will also be available in this slide deck which will be shared through the website very soon so that is a very very quick uh introduction to viewfind you can learn more at viewfind.org you can also email me or reach out to me on the viewfinder slack or through twitter i'm always happy to answer questions and discuss the software so thank you very much thank you damian now miss indira dali will facilitate a brief q a so i can read the questions um is vu find compatible with rda uh yes viewfind is compatible with rda um as i mentioned it's capable of indexing mark records and it includes default mappings for how those records are used and the default mappings include several characteristics of rda it's certainly possible that more detailed rda support could be improved in the future but some of it is already there uh it should work very well with current modern mark records yeah then second question third question fourth question can proven be used as unique union catalog yes viewfind can be used as a union catalog as i mentioned it's capable of interfacing with integrated library systems and it has a feature that allows you to connect a single instance of viewfind with multiple library systems which enables you to collect all of the records from a number of places index them into a single index but still be able to also communicate in real time with all of the individual systems to do things like uh checking for current on shelf availability of items the third question is you get any participation certificate uh no there is not a certificate for this webinar then fourth question is are there universities currently using program uh yes you're there are many universities currently using viewfind uh it's in use all over the world uh in hundreds of institutions including uh universities national libraries public libraries uh schools and others yeah um there's a list on the website uh where you can find links to many examples yeah then last question is kindly send link here of advanced level training in october it is a request for use uh so you can find out more about the training at the website training.viewfind.org we don't have dates set yet we're hoping to begin in september but please watch that website and more details will be shared there as they develop yeah is there any question no more uh yeah oh wait i see uh two more questions psp person uh depending on what version of viewfinder you use uh it has compatibility with a broad range of uh php versions the most recent uh release is viewfind 7 which will come out this coming monday actually and that will require php 7.2 which is currently the minimum php version supported by the php community but if you need compatibility with older php versions you can install earlier releases if you find uh of course i don't recommend using unsupported php versions the last question is do provine have live dvd live like i think uh yes the the live dvd that was discussed at yesterday's webinar includes viewfind uh and has it indexing all of the other applications on the live dvd so that's a good way to get a test drive of the software yeah is there any question no thank you thank you sir for answering all our questions to the participants i think they are all satisfied with your intelligent answers i think so thank you very much i want to wrap up the two sessions paper maram goma has presented very nicely starting from thoughts on librarians by renowned persons then about wordpress she gave near about more about 11 sub-headings like what is word process then why word process and why word process is used for libraries then see on fourth point she explained wordpress server requirements for version hyphen2 then she explained step by step how to install or process then on sixth sub heading she gave some links then from yen and back in then dashboard then plugins for library content management lastly she gave word process course contains for forthcoming training programs about the year she gave about 89 modules finally she gave the objectives of the training courses thus madame goma has very nicely printed her paper and there are near about 89 questions half of them see herself answer half of the question dr moon pradhan answered so i want to congratulate and thank to both of them now the second paper will find printed by the mint it is very interesting paper presented by him first he initiated what is blueprint then he gave many pictures then supported continent system in third section he gave major key pictures of bhuvan then in fourth subsection he gave lord more about bupine like tutorial video 16th chapter book coming training classes which is going to be happening coming september then international broken summit which will occur all on september 29th to october 1st 2020 it is all due to corona pandemic it may be online like this and lastly because informed about more information and contact details so i'm very much benefited by presentation of both the research person so thank you very much for both of you sir and madam thank

source software over all sessions wonderfully delivered by all presenters thanks to bank flip professor mohan pradhan daniel and rizina duffy for moderating and managing these wonderful programs thank you thank you very much and now i would like to invite professor ard prasad to give any closing remarks okay thank you mr regina okay me again okay i'll be given the opportunity of uh delivering the concluding remarks firstly i think this is all part of open access to information movement which has taken the academic world in a very big way okay and in fact this movement resulted in a kind of uh it took shape in multi-pronged approach that is open access repositories that is d space e prints and many other repositories software you know that doaj covers some many open access journals in fact it crossed the 10 000 mark and in various languages though predominantly it is in english but off late you know that again people started emphasizing on data repositories where one can share their data and uh the main objective being the reusability of the data so that somebody else may interpret the data in a different way are different facets of the data they can interpret and definitely it is going to save huge amount of money that is being spent i mean all the whether it is repositories or journals or data repositories i think it is going to benefit the scientific and academic world in a big way in fact you can see all the some green sprouts coming up some of the commercial software are slowly coming to terms allowing people maybe after embargo period to make them openly available much of their publications this definitely are going to hugely benefit the libraries which have lesser budgets and one thing i am happy about this move this movement the library community is almost there one of the forefront players in advocacy in the advocacy of open access movement so in a lighter wing i i call it open mantra okay that is open access to information that is open content whether it is data or open access journals or whatever it is anything our course wave that is e-learning software everything's on open content then open source software of course probably this was a precursor to the other open openness movements reusable code okay even if you go to pearl cpan site you you can find i think uh hundreds of thousands of uh modules one they can reuse koja is full of those modules okay and though people talk less about it equally important is open standards open standards promise interoperability that means you can use uh whether it is data or programs or whatever it is on different platforms okay and long-term preservation also open standards are available in fact if you look into the uh the legal battles among the software industry many of them are related to openstack not standards not open standards everybody wants to uh fight and got a piece of their own cake and money i think even recently two big guys uh i think the judgment went into another guy you know i don't want to mention their names every day you will find the legal battles of this software genes so our motto is offer open content using open source software following open standards okay now the conclusion is now with the off-leg people are talking about open science inside the other day today morning in fact one of my colleagues participated a malaysian hosted webinar how open science can help kovid 19 okay so that shows i think the the i think this openness may bring many of the scientific community state player means stakeholders together and probably it will largely benefit the human society that's why we say no for example when it comes to data if the government data is open that means probably we can pay away for the open society so open science open research and are very important to bring into open society which i think largely benefits the majority of the people across the globe probably let us hope it will reduce the wars between nations which is a little of a utopian ideal but anyhow after we have to leave one hopes so finally i would like to thank the valinova university for providing the platform especially uh damien cards and also uh the coordinator uh regina duffy because yesterday could get me today only otherwise i would have added the this one but my apologies to her and mohammed for coordinating efforts then there are many wonderful speakers from whom i i also have learned a lot and also the rapporteurs and the child persons for wonderfully doing their job and delivering a fantastic uh unsuccessful seminar at least to me and above one of course the participants for asking the very good questions which probably cleared many other participants and the speakers where they stand so on the whole i thank everybody and i say bye to all of you and we hope to meet again sometime in september thank you thank you so much so that officially concludes the webinar for today the recording of the webinar will be available shortly on the vufine website if you have any questions feel free to contact damian katz or professor mohan raj pradhan and on behalf of the event organizers and speakers i would like to thank you all for attending the training sessions we are going to include the email addresses in the chat box thank you everyone
