Unicode ?

UNICODE stands for Universal character encoding, maintained by the Unicode Consortium.

This encoding standard provides the basis for processing,storage and interchange of text data in any language in all modern software and ICT protocols.

It uses two bytes or 16 bits to code each character.

What is firewall

A system designed to prevent unauthorizedaccessto or from a privatenetwork. Firewalls can be implemented in bothhardwareandsoftware, or a combination of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorizedInternetusers from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especiallyintranets. All messages entering or leaving the intranet pass through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specifiedsecuritycriteria.

What is Webinar?

Webinar is a short for Web-based seminar, a presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Web.

A key feature of a Webinar is its interactive elements -- the ability to give, receive and discuss information. Contrast with Webcast, in which the data transmission is one way and does not allow interaction between the presenter and the audience.

What is router?

-A device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP??s network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more networks connect.

Routers use headers and forwarding tables to determine the best path for forwarding the packets, and they use protocols such as ICMP to communicate with each other and configure the best route between any two hosts.

What is Delphi Technique ?

Delphi technique helps managers and decision makers to make better forecasts and advice. This method recognises human judgments as legitimate and makes useful inputs in generating forecasts and also that the judgment of a number of informed people is likely to be better than the judgment of a single individual who may be misinformed or highly biased. Thus, the Delphi technique is a way of allowing only those interactions to occur that are likely to improve the quality of a forecast or decision.

The Delphi Technique has been widely used to generate forecasts in technology, education and other fields. It may also be possible to apply this technique as an evaluation technique in case a situation demands.

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)

· The Program (or Project) Evaluation and Review Technique, commonly abbreviated PERT,

· is a statistical tool, used in project management

· is designed to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing a given project

· developed by the United States Navy in the 1950s

· it is commonly used in conjunction with the critical path method or CPM.

· Program Evaluation and Review Technique (code-named PERT) is applied as a decision-making

tool designed to save time in achieving end-objectives, and is of particular interest to those

engaged in research and development programs for which time is a critical factor.

Critical path method (CPM)

· The critical path method (CPM) is an algorithm for scheduling a set of project activities

· It is an important tool for effective project management.

· The critical path method (CPM) is a project modeling technique developed in the late

1950s by Morgan R. Walker of DuPont and James E. Kelley, Jr. of Remington Rand

· CPM calculates the longest path of planned activities to the end of the project, and the earliest

and latest that each activity can start and finish without making the project longer

· In project management, a critical path is the sequence of project network activities which add upto the longest overall duration

Shannon–Weaver model of communication has been called the "mother of all models.

It embodies the concepts of information source,message, transmitter, signal, channel, noise, receiver,

In 1948 Claude Elwood Shannon published A Mathematical Theory of Communication article in two parts in the July and October numbers of the Bell System Technical Journal.^[2

The book co-authored with Warren Weaver, The Mathematical Theory of Communication, reprints Shannon's 1948 article and Weaver's popularization of it

Shannon's theory is used more literally and is referred to as Shannon theory, or information theory

Shannon's formula is

where C is channel capacity measured in bits/second, W is the bandwidth in Hz, S is the signal level in watts across the bandwidth W, and N is the noise power in watts in the bandwidth W.

Electronic mail?

commonly known as email or e-mail

An email message consists of three components, the message envelope, the message header, and the message body.

N-LIST

1. Background

The Project entitled “National Library and Information Services Infrastructure for Scholarly Content

(N-LIST)”, being jointly executed by the UGC-INFONET Digital Library Consortium, INFLIBNET

Centre and the INDEST-AICTE Consortium, IIT Delhi provides for i) cross-subscription to e-resources

subscribed by the two Consortia, i.e. subscription to INDEST-AICTE resources for universities

and UGCINFONET resources for technical institutions; and ii) access to selected e-resources

to colleges. The N-LIST project provides access to e-resources to students, researchers and

faculty from colleges and other beneficiary institutions through server(s) installed at the INFLIBNET

Centre. The authorized users from colleges can now access e-resources and download articles

required by them directly from the publisher’s website once they are duly authenticated as authorized

users through servers deployed at the INFLIBNET Centre.

The project has four distinct components, i.e. i ) to subscribe and provide access to selected

UGC-INFONET e-resources to technical institutions (IITs, IISc, IISERs and NITs) and monitor its

usage; ii) to subscribe and provide access to selected INDEST e-resources to selected universities

and monitor its usage; iii) to subscribe and provide access to selected e-resources to 6,000

Govt./ Govt.-aided colleges and monitor its usage; and iv) to act as a Monitoring Agency for

colleges and evaluate, promote, impart training and monitor all activities involved in the process of

providing effective and efficient access to e-resources to colleges.

The INDEST and UGC-INFONET are jointly responsible for activity listed at i) and ii) above. The

INFLIBNET Centre, Ahmedabad is responsible for activities listed at iii) and iv) above. The INFLIBNET

Centre is also responsible for developing and deploying appropriate software tools and techniques

for authenticating authorized users.

2. Current Status

As on April 22, 2010, a total number of 1,176 colleges have registered themselves with the N-LIST

programme including 659 Govt. / Govt.-aided colleges covered under the 12 B Act of the UGC.

Log-in ID and password for accessing e-resources has been sent to the authorized users from

these 659 colleges. Remaining colleges are being advised to join the initiative as N-LIST Associates.

All e-resources subscribed for colleges under the N-LIST Project are now accessible to

these 659 colleges through the N-List website.

3. Beneficiary Institutions

The following four sets of institutions are benefitting from the N-LIST Project:

i) Universities covered under Phase I of the UGC-INFONET Digital Library Consortium can now

access Web of Science.

ii) IITs, IISc, IISERs and selected NITs (i.e. core members of the INDEST-AICTE Consortium)

can now access selected e-resources namely Annual Reviews, Project Muse and Nature.

iii) 6,000 Govt. / Govt.-aided colleges covered under 12 B Act of the UGC can now access se

lected electronic resources including electronic journals, electronic books and bibliographic

databases. These resources include more than 2100 e-journals and 51,000 e-books.

iv) Colleges, not covered under the 12B Act of the UGC, can benefit from the N-LIST Programme

by joining the programme as its Associate. These colleges will be required to pay a fixed

amount towards subscription to e-resources and annual subscription.
