11. Preservation of Materials (OJS)
OJS (Open Journal System): It is a journal management and publishing system to
review working papers via a systematic workflow, published them appropriately
and promote easy access for the academics and professionals
(1) First journal: Aktivis
The articles span from 2001
to 2010.

article which can be viewed
online or downloaded to the
original format.

12. Preservation of Materials (Features of OJS)
Feature 1: Editors can establish the website’s section, the review
processes and so-forth in accordance with the Journal to be built.
Feature 6: The system can bypass the review process and publish the
articles immediately. This is useful especially for past articles that have
been published but not uploaded into the OJS system yet.
Feature 2: Review process is done online and does not require different systems
of email and content management for traceability.
Feature 3: Flexibility to determine the number of editors who are needed
for the review process.
Feature 4: Online help from the experienced OJS community for technical
problems.
Feature 5: Easy updates of colors, logos, titles, etc. can be made easily. Omitting
the steep learning curve of using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).

Introduce Asas 50
History
Asas 50 is the only Malay Literary art in Singapore. For 6 decades Asas 50 has been the forerunner in Malay literary scene making radical changes to the Malay language script and establishing institutions that now become icons to the development of Malay language and literature in the region such as the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (Malay Language and Literary Agency), Malay Language Council of Malaysia-Brunei-Indonesia (MABBIM) and Southeast Asia Literature Council (Mastera)
The NLB has recognized Asas '50 as the ideal resource and reference pool for its “Singapore Literary Pioneers Gallery” and NLB Online Repository of Artistic Works (NORA) projects. This includes a database collection for Malay writers and manuscripts. Another project piloted by NLB and Asas '50 was the “Potret Tun Seri Lanang.” In this project, Asas '50 acted as the middleman in obtaining the literary works of the Tun Seri Lanang award winners, which included books, publications, private collections and others. These will then be displayed at the special collections section of the NLB.
The part played by Asas '50 in the growth, development and progress of the Malay literature span a wide scope and has impacted the community intrinsically. The association has consistently upheld its mission and vision of “Literature for the Community” with utmost integrity and responsibility. Asas '50 has spearheaded a myriad of initiatives to preserve the image of the community, country and that of the writer himself. From its battle towards independence for Malaya to its inexorable aim of uniting the splinter Malay literary groups, Asas '50 has managed to form a united front under the manifesto “Literature Develops Humanity.”

Why (Intention)
Asas ’50 recently adopted a strategic social web mechanism to align the organization’s online presence and the value of knowledge creation and sharing. This Technological adaptation enables a content management system to be used as a corporate website that serves the original purposes of Asas ‘50’s, as well as a social platform which extends the social interaction to the community at large.
How
This initiative is the first in-house New Media project towards the efforts in building an open access knowledge platform that is scalable, flexible and has the growth potentials for the next generation of library and information science systems to be integrated with her core technology. Asas ’50 hopes that such initiatives will attract more visitorship, viewership, constructive sharing, and many more attractive rendezvous unbounded by traditional means via New Media.
New Media is currently one of the many key ingredients to efficiently advocate literacy. Thus, this portal will be showcasing the following main points: (i) the value of strategic technology adoption, (ii) the value of creating open access knowledge and (iii) the outreach into the indigenous Malay Knowledge Community towards library and information science’s effort for non-profit organization in the South East Asia’s region to grow and build a strong online presence.
Introduced simple which may seem trivial but important technologies for both veteran and young writers for the
purpose of sharing and decimation of literacy
emphasize to them the importance of documentation
Alleviate Asas’50 to the next echelon of educational research by becoming a repository of reference for the benefit of researchers, teachers and students.
