1 DCM 5. Bhubaneshwar. Sept 90.

The main discussion at DCM5 was centered round non-book material, under the
discussion on non-formal sources. It was agreed that Part 1 of the formats
for non-formal sources will be the same as formats for index cards, with a
few rules which will be enunciated at the end.
FORMAT FOR STANDARDISED INDEX-CARD
*****************************************************************

Abstract

(Ta be used far joint indexes A bibliographies):
other centres' Type Class no
centre code

Filer code

EXPLANATIONS FOR THE DIFFERENT CODES AND’FIELDSAccessibility Code: The accessibility code (not to be confused with the
term accession code used in libraries) is a set of three fields that
i
together uniquely identify a particular document and indicate its location..'-

It consists of (1) Form Code (code indicating type of storage location)
(2) Classification Number (3) Filer code (precise location indicating
code).
(Accessibility code is usually to be written in the right-hand—top corner
of the index card. But for centres who already have cards and are using
this spot for some other details, another place can be given to the entire
accessibility code. However, all the three parts of this code must necessarily be written together, in one line.)

Form: (One space). This is a one letter code which indicates the form in
!
which the document exists. (More accurately, it is the physically distinct I
sections of a centre, distinguished from each other by the form of the
document and not subject.y This comes first since in all centres, books,
J
journals and box-files are stored separately and hence farm code has to
1
form the first indicator of location.
Therefore form refers to the type of I
storage location and not form of material.
For example a bibliography kept |
in the report section will be labelled R for report as it is stored in the report section.
Before DCM5 this field was known as "type" field.

When the actual form of the material is different from the code selected
for the "form", a.seperate (new) field known as GMD code ie Gener-T.A
Material description, will be used. (DCM5)

The following are the codes for different forms of material, agreed upon at
the meet:
C - Newspaper clippings kept in files, folders or box files
F - Other material in the file besides, or instead of, newspaper clip­
pings; eg. other loose sheets that cannot stand on their own, like
pamphlets, small articles, circulars, etc. ( A separate 0 section for
■ n—>npapr?r cuLU' nq-> could exist)
B - Books, and all other material accorded the status of books and kept
with books in the library cupboard.
R - Reports, including documents, studies, research papers, government
documents, other data material which is neither kept in the library o^
books nor in the box files . (These may also include some special
issues of journals which are given document status.)
)
N - Newsletters, pamphlets, brochures, if kept separately and have a dis­
tinct identity ( Please note that if the newsletter is kept in a box
file alongwith the clippings it will be F)
G — Government reports, inquiry reports, Census, gazetteers, etc.- on 1v if
kept separately. (If these are kept alongwith other reports in the
reports section they will be R, or if they are in the books library
they will be B and so on. )
W - Workshop, conference, or seminar papers, if they are kept separately
(like they are in VHAI, CERC and RCWS)
□ - Annual reports of corporations, NGOs, foundations, institutes, etc. if
kept separately
J - Journals, including ’those magazines which are preserved in full and
bound or tied together. Access to these is normally through indexes.

- Magazines, which are neither cut and kept alongwith the clippings nor
are they preserved for many years and nor are they indexed.
Very of­
ten these are just kept -for a year and at the end of the year perhaps
a few articles may be cut and kept elsewhere. (Most people -felt that
this was a redundant code but nonetheless it was decided to retain it
in case someone did need it.)

- Mainly data-sheets, statistical material
- Encyclopedias,directories,dietionaries,if not kept as R or B
- Indices, bibliographies, catalogues
— Book reviews
- Video or -film material.
- Slide shows
- Audio material like cassettes.
- Posters, photographs, flip charts, individual slides etc.
- Maps, cartographic material
- Micro film, micro fiphe, epidiascopic material
- Non-formal sources and other primary data
- Survey data
- Geographic Information Systems like satellite maps in the
form of CCT t< floppies
- Material stored on floppies

'^assification number: (10 spaces for this field.) This is the classiflca-ion number or code given to the material by the centre according to the
subject. It was emphasised that this code is particular to each centre) it
cannot be standardised. Each centre has to have its own code, and if it
doesn't already have a classification system but needs one, it cou’d easily
be created with the help of some experienced centre. •
Note 1: In many centres that do not have a proper classification system,
while there is a serial number for the file, it is usually referred to only
by the subject. The best coding system for access in such cases is the Sub­
ject Abbreviated Cade (SAC). The first three letters of the first word as
represented in the list of root-keywords for that subject will be used.
Break-up if any will be indicated by the optional 4th & 5th letter in lower

Eg. Housing—Alternatives will be HOUal
Women (General)

Women-Health

"

‘his is particularly useful for those who have only a few categories and do
not need codes, or for those who keep their files alphabetically ordered.)
Note 2: Those who do not have any classification code or number and do not
wish to evolve one can leave this blank.
Filer code: (12 spaces for this code.)This is the third part of the acces­
sibility code. This indicates the precise physical location of the
material, within the broad location allotted to that subject. Since loca­
tion is specific for different centres this aspect has been left entirely
upto the individual -centre. Here again it was stressed that this code is
peculiar to each centre and cannot be standardised.)In the case of multiple
copies of a book /2 /3 can be put in the filer code.
For ‘reference books R
is added in the filer code after the serial number.
For journals like EPW
that have serial page numbering for all the issues brought out in a year,
only the year is necessary not the date and month e.g. BPEPW^ll1?

Note: Just to give you an example we give below the convention followed by
CED. For books the first letter indicates the surname of the author (or the
lead author in case of multiple author's) . The next 3 spaces are for number
indicating the serial order of their acquisition within this particular
class no l< author letter. For reports, the filer code is a serial number
within the first letter of our classification which indicates the broad
area under which the document falls. For magazines 8< clippings, we do not
yet have a system but plan to utilise the first six spaces for the date of
the publication. Following this the next three spaces will show the publi­
cation code. Likewise other centres must be having their own retrieval
logic which they can use in creating a filer code, if they do not already
have one, that is.

GMD code & GMD meaning General Material Description.
This is distinct
from "Form" or what was earlier referred to as type.
Unlike "form" or Type
which describes the physical section in which the material is kept, GMD 8<
GMD code is the more accurate description of the nature of material.
As
explained earlier, a bibliography could be kept in a library along with the
books and the "form field will be marked as "B" whereas in GMD field it
will be marked as "BIB”.
This field will be finalised at the next DCM,
following discussion at the mini-DCM in Delhi in January 1991.
For List of GMD code see section on description.

Title: (136 spaces for this field.)
If the title begins with an article
(a, an, the) then this should be put at the end of the rest of the title
after a comma eg. Wealth of Same Nations, The.
Title is entered using upper lower case.
When it is a chapter of a book, the title of the chapter is written in in­
verted commas followed by In in curved brackets, and then the title of the
book .
For example: "Struggle of the Narlis, The" (In) Peasant Movements in India
If the material is in a language other than English the title is written
using the Indian National Bibliographic transliteration system, followed by
the English translation in brackets and indication of what language.
For example: Samajwad (Socialism, Hindi)
'
Vikas Pan Kona Sathi (Development, but for whom ?, Narathi)

For a series, the convention should be as follows:
"Law is an ass. The" - ISI Legal Aid Series I
"Nomen Workers in the Free .Trade Zone of Sri Lanka" — Voice of Nomen Publi­
cation Series No 1.

For conference, seminar or workshop papers the convention will be
"Narking Nomen's Problems" - A paper presented at the National Conference
on Nomen, Chand igarh, November IPBo.

For non-formal material or untitled works: The style to be used is " On
followed by a short description of the topic covered.

Authors (40 spaces for this field.)
by comma and then name or initials.

Surname will beentered first followed
eg, Pajabali, rtnjum

If the author is the editor of the collection then "Ed" will be written in
bracket eg. ffajabali., flnjum (Ed)

If there are multiple authors, the following format will be used: Surname,
Name 4< Surname, Name and others, eg. /?ajabaliz flnjum A Menon, Lakshmi and
others.
Common titles like Dr, Justice should not be used for author except where
the title is integrated with the name like Swami Agnivesh. (DCM4)
Publication/publisher: (30 spaces for this field.) If the document con­
cerned is a book, the name of the publisher will be entered in this field.
If it is a journal or newspaper, the title of the publication will be en­
tered. If it is a study or report or thesis, the name of the institution
publishing such a report will be entered.
If this is too long to.fit. ab­
breviations should be used.
Note: For conference papers the name of the conference should be put in the
‘publication/publisher field.'
Publication code; (Three spaces for this field.) For magazines, newspapers
;-d other periodicals a standard list of codes has been made, and all
centres should use that code for this field. This field is optional for
manual systems.

Place: (12 spaces for this field.) While place of publication has a
separate field, on the card this will appear immediately after the publica­
tion field preceded by a comma. For example, the publication and place
fields together will read - The Hindu, Delhi. City of publication should be
mentioned not instead of country. For a lesser known city, city, country
can- be mentioned.
; . .
char;.ctors: (not .in appropri ate name) : Tim narl i«?r issue
field has been changed to a description field, to accomodate accurate
description, attributes of the publication/material.

For normal print material, what used to go in the old issue field stays.
■i .e: The volume number and issue number, if relevant, would occupy this
Cield. For example: Volume 122 Number 11 would be written as Vol 122,No
11.
For magazines and journals that don't have vol. no. indicated, and for
books and non-periodicals, this field would of course be left blank.
In
the case of books the edition can be mentioned in this field.
The general style of description for non-book material is:
- Physical description : Other physical description/category j dimension ie
-xyz:abc;pgr.
In case of multiple media like slide tape, the following
style is used
-xyz:abc;pgr + xyz:abc;pqr
The following are some examples with GMD code. Please note that Correct GMD
code will have to be given, for proper interpretation of the contents of
this field, even though in most cases, the contents are self explanatory.

Bate: (Eight spaces for this field.) The date of the document will always
be written in the form of dd/mm/yy i.e. September 26, 1987 will be denoted
1^^26/09/87. For documents which do not boast of a date but have
srasonal/festival-based periodicity the following standard conventions were
adopted:

Usually for periodicals the issue is identified by the first date given on
it. e.g. September 1987 issue will be dated 01/09/87. Likewise September
13-30, 1987 issue will be dated as 15/09/87. For books which only carry the
copyright year the first of January of that year will be its date for us.
Note: The above convention will be followed for all publications except for
annual reports wherein the last date of the period covered by the repzr t
wiB be the date entered on the card. e.g. BUILD Annual Report 1987 will
he^^ its date on our card as 31/12/87.

In case of books which have had multiple editions, without revision or up­
dating, the date of the first edition will hold good for us. If the docu­
ment has absolutely no indication of its date of publication, then it is
better to write "Received on dd/mm/yy" on the document before putting it in
the file or the cupboard, and in the card leave the index field blank.
There are 2 date fields Date'and Datel.
The Date fie1d(numeric in case of
ISIS, date in Dbase) is the one referred to for a listing of records form a
given date.
Datel is a character field and is the date as it appears on
the book itself and which gets printed in a bibliography. Please note that
date field in the format suggested is only for computerised documentation
centres, so that the programme can locate a docuemnt by its date. For
manual centres however, there is however only one date field, the conven­
tion for which is the same as it appears in the Book itself.

Pages: (10 spaces for this field.) If the publication is a book and the
particular index card refers to the entire book or report, this field will
carry the total no. of pages in the publication. If it is part of a book or
journal, or is a magazine article then the page numbering will be written
as under: xxxx-xxx or xxx-xxx or xx-xxxxx (this means that the maximum num­
ber of characters including the hyphen should be ten.)To be written as
232+vii or totalled and written as 239.

Keywords are basically any words by which a user may seek accessw to any
^^terial .

(A)In the computerised system, keywords provide good access points.
fact keywords are also considered sufficient access points.)

(In

_J)In manual systems, where catalogues are arranged sub.)ectwise separate
cards will have to be made for each keyword. (1) Where catalogue’s are kept
alphabetically, the keyword will have to be written on the top left corner.
(2) where catalogues are kept according to classification number#:, ths
classification number corresponding to each keyword should be written in
the top left corner.
It must be remembered that the accessibility code will have to be written
on the top right hand corner or in some other easily spottable place in
each of the cards.
For convenience of arrangement of the cards itself each
classification number can carry a filer code after the decimal place,
provided a separate register is kept to keep track of the last number
utilised. Centres may also want to write Just below the keyword for that
card, all the other keywords or classification numbers being used for that
document.

^Suggestion: Not decided upon ; Geographical code ( Optional) I As per
rules of HURIDOCS; Some Centres can include it as a keyword

sidered necessary.)

Card Index for Audio-visuals
Card Indexes for visuals are always difficult. Most of us have separate and
special systems for each of the different types of visual material. Yet
these along with documentation on audio-tapes can be a useful source which
people would like to know about-. Besides, when we do searches for bibliog­
raphies and in our joint indexes, it would be good if we could include all
the visual material available on the subject.
With this in mind, we suggest the following rules for Visuals:
In the title field, we shall write the title of the programme in capitals,
followed the language in Brackets. For example ..
HiWM SHfiHER (Hindis English subtitles)

In the place of author,.we can enter the Director's name. If it is a
photograph or single slide, the photographer's name will be used. Where
the publisher is, there will be the Producer.
In the pages field, we will
put in the duration in Minutes viz. 60 min. Price can be included in Rem
field etc.

In formati on

The information available in the field could be of varying types.
a) Recorded:

Groups reports, letters of activists notes, diaries, local

press, wallpapers, pamphlets, slides, photographs Annual reports & old

. Survey data etc..
b)

Non-recorded: Folklore, stories, songs, plays, rituals, bhajans, oral
knowledge like on medicines etc. These maybe then recorded by the
documentalists or toher like the activists. These include "interviews,
photographs, slides, video, audio tapes,

c)

Incidemt/status investigation, like human rights issues, where we might
go an investigate different cases,
over different geographic areas and
over time. Other issues that can under this category are housing, land,

farming practices, pollution, environment, violence against women. These
also include survey data as a sub-category.

Each document will be given a tittle as under on ""
In the author field, you will put the name of the person who is credit with
information, ie: the interviewee, the person writing the diary etc.
In the Producer field, the documentalist or documentation centre making
that record
In the abstract field, background information .on the following field should
be included
1. The person giving the information or interview like sex etc.
2. The community context.
3. The geographical context.
4. The historical context, including rough dating of events, process
mentioned.
5. Other related events.
Also included should be an indication , other supporting data, visuals etc.

The third category of information (ie. the incident or status investiga­
tion) is the most challenging, because it has a logitudinal dimension.
The information required for this should form another part of the format
and not replace or be confused with Part I, becuase Part I is required for
efficient filing, indexing cross-referencing as well as interfacing it with
the other parts of our documentation centre and the index for the formal
sources.
Thus, Part I is contained in a half quarto size page stapled to the front

handwritten text.
Each type of issue will have to have a separate format
as far as Part II is concerned as the details required for each of them are
different.

Dear Friends,

We are happy to invite you to the forth coming Documentation Centres Meet, jointly
hosted by Centre for Education and Documentation, Bangalore, National Centre for
Advocacy Studies, Pune, and Indian Social Social- Institute, Bangalore. The meeting
would be held between 9th. to 10th. September, 1999 at Indian Social Institute,
Bangalore.
We are herewith sending you the information regarding the meet The fee to be paid at
ISI for the programme would be Rs.300/- Kindly confinn your participation at the
earliest. You may also send in your suggestions to be included in the programme.
New Documentation Centres and the groups who plan to start documentation are invited
to participate.

Thanking You,

With Regards,

D.Samuel Jesupatham.

To all Documentation Centres specifically DCM members,
It has been sometime since we have held the DCM (Documentation Centres Meet).

We plan to have the next DCM in September on the 911' & IO11' and the Prc-DCM on the 711' and 8"'. (at 1SI Bangalore)

The National Centre for Advocacy Studies, Indian Social. Institute, Bangalore and CED will jointly host the meeting.

We need to finalise the agenda. The following arc some of the points that we have thought of. Please give us your
suggestions.

Electronic Documentation:
Leo Fernandes, one of the founders of India -Link and an active member of Asia-Link, will be at the DCM meeting
as ■. resource person. Leo could guide us in our discussion on Doc Centres and Electronic Documentation. So if any
of you have particular topics that you’d like covered, please send them to us. This way the session can address some
of the main issues on themes that we outline.
Besides this we could share experiences regarding:

- exploration of systems followed & being developed for
- indexing and/or cataloguing of information
- electronic documents (papers, articles in WORD, ASCII, etc.)
- publications (newsletters, articles other regular publications in Pagemaker etc.)
- Emails one has received
- Stuffdownloaded from the Internet
- Material CD s.
Building compatibility between electronic documentation and classification, accessibility code. I low is this stored?
what is the system of access that is followed? Is this information available in the catalogue?

Building up an alternative development and social change identity in India.

Joint Catalogue
John Samuel of NCAS has suggested that they would be interested in having some kind of joint catalogues of the best
and most relevant material that we have on specific issues in Documentation Centres. This is not a general sharing
of databases, but on recent and signilicant development concerns.
Earlier CENDIT used to bring out DF.VINDEX, but that was a more exhaustive effort. This would be more focused
and time-bound. Many of you would be interested in this project. Please discuss it in your group and send in your
suggestions, so that we can discuss it in further detail.

Right to Information:
You have all heard of the Campaign for the Right to Public Information. This has been very active in the primary
ground level information Held, largely in the area of developmental works. Most ofour Documentation Centres have
been set up to ensure that secondary information is available to wider audiences. Is there then a need to also look at
this question from the stand-point of political documentation (availability and access of secondary documentation
like white papers, certain key judgements, government policy on certain critical issues)

Do we need to think in terms of a campaign which focuses on secondary reports, government documents, studies of
private institutions. Multi-lateral & UN organisations etc.

Current major issues and documentation on them.
At most DCMs we have focused on some of the major socio-political challenges that we face, and have taken stock
of the state of documentation vis-a-vis these issues. There arc perhaps three major issues that could be discussed.





('oinmmmlism and Right wing, onslmig.hl now in rural and remote mens mid development lields
Globalisation'l iberalisation:
Changing NGO landscape in the new globalised context.

We plan to discuss the basic aspects of these issues kind of literature that is available on these topics.
Who has what?
Sources of information.
Nature of information needs among our constituents on these issues.
It would be useful if those who have closely monitored these issues share their experiences.

Training Requirements:
a.
b.
c.

Various training, human resources development requirements of documentation centres.
Training plans of different organisations.
Any new or joint programme needed?

Enclosed is a preliminary note on Electronic Documentation prepared by CED. NCAS will prepare a note on the
joint catalogue and some ideas keeping/selling/publicising each others publications and circulate it to all. IS1.
Bangalore on the Current major issues and documentation.

PRE-DCM
The Pre-DCM is basically intended as a time to help those who are little less familiar with the DCM to get an idea on
some of the ground already covered in other DCMs. Please note this will NOT be a training workshop; where
specific queries will be handled; but rather a participatory session where the broader parameters are spelt out.
We have thought of two working groups for the pre-DCM.
1)

2)

As mentioned in the note on Electronic Documentation systems; a working groups of systems of Electronic
Documentation in the age of Internet.
Basic briefing on Documentation systems, indexing, classification, already discussed in previous DCMs - Mainly
for first timers at DCM.

DCM mailing list
We have started a mailing list on documentation for DCM members, where we can share information on sources.
documents, new publications, web-sites etc.

If you have an Email address and wish to join this mailing list, send an Email to majordomo@ilbom.entet.in with the
following line in the body of the email.

Note of Electronic Documentation- '

~ ~

: j

-

We have been using computers to store our catalogues and indexes. Most of us have been searching the Internet for
documentation and data. Some of us have a web-site where information of some of our publications, and some
articles and papers brought out. Others bring out publications giving information which they have downloaded.
Each one of us have been experimenting with some systems, for streamlining this documentation. We need to share
our experiences and see if we can work out some system like the earlier Interchange format which we drew up for our
databases.

We can also discuss the possibilities of having some kind of distributed databases and documents system. This would
mean that while people keep updating their own databases which are on the internet or in their intranet or in their own
computer, there could be a system whereby there is a way of searching for documents when people log into any of
our websites or Intranet.
India-link is an off-shoot of DCM. focusing on electronic communications and information. Earlier India-link was
concentrating on providing email connectivity to NGOs. Now that we have VSNL. MTNL and private ISPs, it
becomes more clear that we need to talk about the content of Information exchange over the Internet, by email or
through World Wide Web.

Documentation centres will have to be more involved in this. Some of the ideas discussed in the discussion on
Electronic documentation can be explored under India-link. There is a lot of information on the Internet, but access
favours those who can articulate their needs clearly, know a little bit about the subject and has the patience to search
the web. There is need for developing an identity which represents alternative development, struggles, NGOs in
India on the Internet and electronic network which is backed up by ground level documentation and secondary level
documentation centre and other campaign and advocacy organisations and network.
Please discuss this in your group and send in your comments. We intend have one working group during the preDCM to draw up some kind of framework for the electronic systems. Which of you would be interested in being part
of this working group?

Second circular on DCM9
Dear Friends,

About 30 participants from 19 organizations have confirmed their
participation. More are expected.

This circular is an attempt to decide the agenda, and elicit your
contribution. Please write in. The more ideas and information we
share before the meeting, the more progress we can make. Please
also tell us if you are coming for the Pre-DCM and which of the
two streams you will take part in.
This time, three organisations, ISI Bangalore, NCAS, and CED are
hosting the meeting. From your initial response, it seems that
most people are interested in Electronic Documentation and
Electronic Information Sharing. Leo Fernandes who is now a free
lance consultant will attending the DCM as resource person.
In the Pre-DCM we will have one stream which works out the
technical details and share it with us on the 9th. The main persons
involved in Indialink will also have a decision, work-sharing and
planning meeting on the 11 th at CED, Bangalore office

PROPOSED AGENDA
The Pre PCM : 7th & 8th September.
There will be two parallel streams:

1.
Documentation Systems:
(this stream is for those who have not attended DCMs unto now).

This workshop will go through the different technical discussions
that we have had unto now.

DCM indexing/cataloguing formats.
Sources of secondary information, coding
Classification systems used, coding
Keywords, Thesaurus
r(S.

Please write to us at CED, if you need copies of the DCM
catalogue formats

2.
Electronic Documentation Systems:
(For those who have attempted to organise their electronic
information.)
This is the first time we will be discussing this topic at the DCM.
The purpose of this workshop is to gather the experience of those
who have already attempted electronic documentation, and to try
and work out some preliminary recommendations & Framework
for systems such that exchange of information and distributed
documentation is made easy.(See Appendix)

Note for discussion on Electronic Documentation
Introduction
Upto recently, we were using computers mainly to
Make catalogue and indexes, bibliographies of our documentation
Bring out publications, using Word or Page maker
Research, Statistical analysis, number crunching.

Now more and more information is first available in electronic
form, be it in
• Word Documents
• Email, Bulletin Boards,
• CDs, Floppies or
• Web pages (Internet)
Discussion points
At the Pre DCM, we will discuss three aspects of electronic
documentation.

1. The Nature of Documentation available in electronic form
2. How this information is or can be organised and catalogued
3.
Retreival and dissemination systems

Participants are expected to make a presentation (preferably with
a written note) sharing their experience on electronic
documentation. Below are some of the issues they shoudl cover.
1. The Nature of Electronic Documentation
A.
The types of electronic information i.e. Email, Compact Discs
(CD), indexes (databases), Word /Text Files
B.
The characteristics of available information: Electronic
Information can be of all kind. You can have

i)
news reports, small annoucements, pamhlets etc which
people have sent you by email or you have downloaded.
ii)
a collections of analytical articles. Reports, Studies
produced internally or downloaded from the Net.,
iii)
data/statistics from the Census Cds, Or,
iv)
editorials, opinions, exchanges in mailing lists
C.
What do you see is the value in collecting, organising and
documenting electronic information or Indexing such information.

2. Method of Organisation & Indexing
A. Do you have a method of storing the information?
i)
Is it organised
subjectwise?
chronologically?
in separate floppies/CDs or in Hard disks?
Any particular file naming convention?
Classification?
ls the file format changed for uniformity.
ii)
B. Do you have any indexing/cataloging system?
i) Any system of marking important attributes like title, author,
keywords, dates, publisher, copyright holder, original source of
information etc. within the file.
ii) Is there a catalog system to tell you where each file is and
what is contained in it? What is the structure of this database?
Does it match with the catalogue of Books, Reports etc.
3 Retreival & Disemination
What are your ideas for dissemination and making available this
information and databases? Are you planning to use it for
i) In house reference/publications
ii) Intranet access to your users
iii)
making it accessible in your Website?

Leo Fernandes, our guru on Computer information Exchange and

communications, and'convenor of INDIA-LINK will facilitate this
workshop. Leo will then lead the discussion on various New
technologies that are available more particularly :
WEB Type access be it in the forms of
links to URLs( Unique Resources Locator) of documents
or sections of documents.
searching of databases in the background.
Automatic full text search for any query, is becoming
increasingly popular and dominant. How can we organise
"ourselves and our current systems to make it Web compatible.
At the MAIN PCM

Based on the Pre-DCM workshop, Leo and others will present an
overview of the kind of electronic information that we have been
accessing and the kind of electronic information that we are
generating, systems that are being used to organise that
information.

Besides, the documentation systems, we will also discuss some
suggestions on Software, Traning requirements, and work out
plans for computerising information at all the three levels:
Internal: within the organization, including LAN
^.ntranet: within our constituency/members, including WAN
internet, WWW, Web search by email, URLs. WEB Pages

We will also discuss India-link. The various services especially
email, mailing lists, and training programmes that we have
conducted.
We will also discuss some of the India-Link plans for facilitating
Information exchange and computer communications.

Some Possible Concrete PCM plans for India-Link:














Promoting LINUXware, which provides the best free platform
for Information at all these three levels.
Programme for Developing a Demonstration Site & Systems
for such information exchange.
Specialised E-mail Lists while relating to issue based networks
of organizations
Training/Apprenticeship programme on Linux / Linux related
Information Sharing & Networking systems, spread over seven
four day sessions over the year
One day Training in different cities. Exposure on: How to
make more use & creative use of email to get documents and
information and organizing them. Different organizations could
host these.
Exposure Programme for CEOs of NGOs on Electronic
Information Systems
Distributed catalogues of URLs (Unique location of
documents) on development especially India related material.
Develop exchangeable systems.
Back-up archives for such information.

Note based on two day preparatory meeting between Leo
Fernandes, Shubha Chacko, Radha Kunke, Vinod Kumar, B
Veena, and yours truly, John!

So, Finally, See you in Bangalore. Since we have not met for quite
