Here are the key things to consider when choosing an eBook reader:
- Storage capacity and ability to expand memory
- File type compatibility
- Connectivity options like WiFi and cellular
- Screen size, resolution, glare, and readability especially in sunlight
- Weight and comfort for extended reading sessions
- Color versus black and white display depending on intended book types
- the application of the skills of electronic publishing and its mechanisms from the beginning and until the arrival of the source to the target groups.2 - briefing programs used for electronic publishing and the ability to evaluate to determine the most appropriate for the target.3 - the ability to know the areas that should be employed in electronic publishing, media type appropriate for that.
E-publishing is short form of electronic publishing, which refers to production of any work formatted to be read on a computer or by a hand-held device. This is an area that was never conceivable before the advent of the internet, particularly the web.
Library automation refers to the implementation of information and communications technologies (ICT) in the libraries and information centres for replacing manual library operations. The term automation is used for any process which is done through input and output operation. Library automation system includes maintenance of large bibliographical database. The status of library automation depends on Interaction between human and computer to accomplish various tasks of the library automation systems. In order to provide and also to enable the records in the database. The international standards for bibliographic description of library automation system uses sophisticated software tools and standard to index search and display information from the database created.

Library is the heart of any educational institutions. Nowadays there are two basic form of library, one is traditional library and another is digital library. Traditional library is the library to collection the information in print form like books, journals etc. and digital library is the library to collection information with associated services, where the information is stored in digital format like text, video, audio etc. and accessible over a network. According to Bala and Sagar(2014, 369p.) “Library as an institution has played an important role in the progress of civilization. In the modern age the library users need accurate, current and pinpointed information, and there expectation also high”. Due to lack of time no body have time to visit a library and search catalogue cards. Most of the users prefer the digital resources because these can be used anytime and by everyone over the Internet.

The next generation of ebooks: Invent it or witness it!
Digital publishing has come a long way, from plain PDF versions of paperbacks to today’s media rich and interactive versions. Technology innovations and consumer consumption habits are constantly evolving, and success depends almost entirely on keeping with the times. Today’s consumers demand convenience, speed, quality, value and much more. They require ebooks with not just rich media content, but also multiple formats to suit their diverse consumption habits, instant access and interactive community features that stimulate, engage and enrich their reading experience. Publishers can no longer sit back and assume that their e-strategies are complete merely by converting print to PDF. They need to understand customer needs, habits and preferences, and leverage technology to constantly innovate and provide superior quality offerings. Publishing, like every other industry is rapidly evolving, and ‘plain ebooks’ were just the beginning. It is time to focus on the next generation of ebooks and ‘where we need to go next’!
How To Select A Digital E Publisher SupplierYUDU Media
With so many professional ePublishing suppliers to choose from, how do you know which one to select? We’ve pubilshed a free whitepaper that highlights the eight key questions you need to ask to give you a clear indication of the size, scope and experience of your prospective supplier, as well as quality of their technology.
This was a presentation prepared for the Learnthings Africa in 2011 in which I was asked to speak about Digital Publishing at the time to small group of educational publishers.
While time has passed, much of e-publishing has remained stagnant, and some of the premises are still relevant.
E-books have gone from a niche service to a high demand format in an incredibly short time. And their pace of growth is likely to increase. Furthermore, new examples of digital reading material are appearing every day as are new devices and software to read them on. But is e-publishing a growing trend or a passing fad? Regardless and more importantly, how do we help our readers use the e-reading devices they have now and help them to choose what they should get next?
In this Florida Library Webinar:
- Explore the alphabet soup of acronyms.
- Highlight a variety of e-readers and tablets currently on the market.
- Showcase some innovative digital publishers and library vendors.
- Cover the pros and cons of Digital Rights Management (DRM).
- Try to predict where the e-publishing industry will go.

مكتبات الجمعيات الأهلية و المؤسسات الخاصة بمحافظة الإسكندريةEssam Obaid
اهدى الرسالة كاملة لكل الباحثين عن المعرفة
يقصد بالجمعيات الأهلية الهيئات أو المنظمات التي تؤدي نشاطاً اجتماعياً لتلبية حاجة المجتمع، وترتبط ارتباطاً وثيقاً بعدد من المستفيدين بخدماتها، وذلك بغرض غير الحصول على ربح مادي. أما المؤسسات الخاصة فهي مؤسسات تنشأ بمال يجمع كله أو بعضه فى مدة معينة أو غير معينة لتحقيق غرض غير الربح المادي.
وبذلك يتبين أن كلاً من الجمعيات الأهلية والمؤسسات الخاصة هدفها النفع العام وليس تحقيق ربح مادي.
والجمعيات الأهلية والمؤسسات الخاصة لا تخضع مباشرة لإشراف الدولة بل تدار وتموَّل من الأهالي أنفسهم، وعادة ما يعتمد في تمويلها على التبرعات والهبات والاشتراكات ……وما إلى ذلك.
وبمعنى آخر فإن جميع الجمعيات الأهلية والمؤسسات الخاصة في جوهرها مؤسسات اجتماعية شبه حكومية حيث تقاسمها أجهزة الدولة متمثلة في وزارة الشئون الاجتماعية وديوان عام المحافظة والجهاز المركزي للمحاسبات، بالإضافة إلى عدد من الوزارات والهيئات الأخرى التي تشرف على أعمال الجمعيات الأهلية تخطيطا ثم تنفيذا، مثل الجمعيات التي تنشئ مستشفيات أو مستوصفات او مدارس أو فصول تقوية أو مساجد أو كنائس، فلابد أن تخضع كل هذه الخدمات إلى الجهات المختصة في هذا المجال لتباشر الناحية الإشرافية الفنية عليها كلًّ في مجال تخصصه. وهذه صورة من التدخل البيروقراطي، فالجمعية أهلية النشأة من حيث الحرية في اختيار الموقع التي تقوم عليه الجمعية أو المؤسسة وتحديد الأهداف الخاصة بها ولكنها لا تمارس خدماتنا إلا بعد صدور قرار من الجهة الحكومية بممارسة هذا العمل.
وتقوم الجمعيات الأهلية والمؤسسات الخاصة بدور فعال في ميدان الرعاية الاجتماعية خاصة في السنوات الأخيرة من القرن العشرين وبدايات القرن الحادي والعشرين، فأصبح هناك اهتمام محلي وإقليمي وعالمي بالجمعيات الأهلية أو غير الحكومية.
والجدير بالذكر أنه يندرج تحت هذه الجمعيات الأهلية منشآت أو أقسام عديدة تعتمد عليها في تقديم الخدمات الاجتماعية المتن�

التطوع الإلكتروني هو القيام بالمهام التطوعية سواء بصورة كلية أو جزئية من خلال شبكة الانترنت، ويسمى أيضاً التطوع الافتراضي، فكل عمل تطوعي سواء عن بعد أو بشكل مباشر هو عمل خيري. والتطوع الالكتروني ليس بديلا عن التطوع المتعارف عليه، وإنما يتوازى معه في بعض الأحيان، ويكمل أحدهما الآخر في أحيان أخرى، وهناك من يقوم بالعمل التطوعي الالكتروني دون أن يشعروا بذلك، ولكن تبلور هذه الدورة العمل التطوعي الالكتروني بأسلوب علمي وعملي فعال مع الجمعيات الخيرية والأهلية. ويحظى التطوع الالكتروني فى الآونة الأخيرة نماذج رائعة داخل الشبكات الاجتماعية مثل شبكة الفيس بوك، و" توتير"، و " يوتيوب"، وغيرها من مواقع العلاقات الاجتماعية والمنتديات والمدونات والتي يتردد عليها ملايين من الزوار والأشخاص، ومن هنا ظهرت الحاجة إلى إدارة علمية لعملية التطوع الالكتروني والتي تتبلور في هذا البرنامج.
مما لا شك فيه ان جميع المؤسسات بمختلف أنواعها على المستوى الحكومي أو الأهلي او القطاع الخاص تحتاج إلى ادارة للمحتوى المعلوماتي المتاح لديها، ومع وجود طرق وأساليب لحفظ ذلك المحتوى سواء كانت عبارة عن وثائق أوأفلام أوصور أوخرائط أو سجلات او ملفات أو أوراق وموجودة بشكل تقليدي أو او حتى بشكل الكتروني دون اجراء عمليات التنظيم والحفظ والاسترجاع، فلابد على تلك المؤسسات أن تمتلك نظم لإدارة هذا المحتوى فيما يسمى بنظم إدارة الوثائق أو السجلات أو الأرشفة الالكترونية أو التوثيق وما إلى ذلك من مسميات متعددة تستخدم تبادليا بين بعضها البعض.

7 شخصيات يجب أن تحذفهم فورا من الفيسبوكEssam Obaid
من منا ليس لدية اصدقاء وهو فى حيرة من أمرهم بشأن حذفهم والتخلص منهم ولكن منتظر ياخذ قرار.
الان لديك الفرصة لاتخاذ موقف شجاع بعد التعرف على نوعية الأصدقاء فى قائمتك على الفيس بوك اذا كانوا من الانواع السبع التالية:
لدينا كل هؤلاء الأصدقاء على الفيسبوك لدينا قائمة الذين يؤذون حماقة منا لدرجة أننا كثيرا ما تساءلت لماذا نحن لم تضغط على زر unfriend بالفعل.
ربما اسم معين حتى للملوثات العضوية الثابتة في رأسك! حسنا، اليوم هو اليوم لتطهير قائمتك الفيسبوك وتخليص الشعب التالية مرة واحدة وإلى الأبد.

"Electronic Records Management in Social Networking Sites"
المستخلص:
تتيح مواقع الشبكات الاجتماعية الاتصال بمستخدميها في أي وقت وفى أي مكان من العالم, حيث غيرت في مفهوم التواصل
والتقارب بين الناس, واكتسب اسمها الاجتماعي كونها تعزز العلاقات بين بني البشر, ومن هذه المواقع (الفيس بوك Facebook – تويتر Twitter– جوجل بلس Google Plus– ليكند إن LinkedIn – يوتيوب YouTube - فليكر Flickr - ماى اسبيس MySpace - المدونات Blogs- وغيرها)، وتعدت مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي في الآونة الأخيرة وظيفتها الاجتماعية لتستخدم لأغراض متعددة سواء على المستوى الحكومي أو على مستوى القطاع الخاص والأهلي، حيث الوزارات أو الشركات أو الهيئات التجارية أو الصناعية أو الخدمية تستخدم مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي في مجالات خدمة العملاء أو الدعاية والإعلان ومجالات التعليم والتعلم أو الصحافة الالكترونية أو التسويق للخدمات والسلع أو بيع المنتجات.
وهناك إمكانية لاستخدام مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي في تحقيق أهداف التنمية الإدارية لكافة المنظمات الحكومية والخاصة لتكون أداة حقيقية في التواصل بين الأجهزة الحكومية وعامة الناس من خلال تقديم الخدمات الالكترونية أو الإعلان عنها وطرق التواصل الحقيقي مع العملاء المستفيدين من تلك المنظمات.
والبعض الآخر من المستخدمين على مستوى الأفراد استطاعوا أن يجعلوا من تلك المواقع والمدونات مجال للتعارف أو فرصة للنقاش والتفاعل وتسجيل خواطرهم واهتماماتهم ويومياتهم ويضعون صورهم ومقاطع الفيديو المناسبة لهم ومشاركة الملفات وإجراء المحادثات الفورية.
وبدون شك ان ينتج عن هذا التفاعل سواء لاصحاب المواقع ذاتها او المستفيدين منها مخرجات متمثلة فى ملايين الصور ومقاطع الفيديو والوثائق والمعلومات البيانات وغيرها من مصادر المعلومات المختلفة، دون ان يسال بعضنا البعض ما هو مصير تلك المصادر فهل هي يتم تداولها فيما بعد ، وهل يتم عملية الحفظ والتسجيل والفهرسة الخاصة بها واسترجاعها وفقا لمنهجية محددة.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

There are several models in e publishing ranging
from commercial e publishing, print-on-demand ,
subsidy e publishing, and self publishing.
In addition to .these, there are distributors and
agent vendors who package on-line journals,
books and sell the database to industry bodies,
universities etc, with a mark-up over their cost,
incurred for procuring rights. These costs would
vary depending on whether the vendor has
procured exclusive rights or has to share them
with a competitor. As a variation of the above,
there are online bookstores.
4. 1) Commercial e publishers:
4
Commercial e publishers are almost like their
traditional counterparts, they choose to publish books
that are most likely to be sold – a good mix of quality
and subject matter is what they look for and rejection
rates are pretty high.
While their websites serve as effective storefronts,
they also sell through other online bookstores like
Amazon.com etc. By and large, e-publishers do not
pay an advance, but royalty payments are higher than
what traditional publishers offer, often as high as 40%.
The editorial and technical work that the e publishing
team puts in is no different that what is done in print
publishing.
5. 2)print-on-demand (POD)
5
Another interesting model is the “print-on-
demand” (POD) model, which is a mix of
electronic and print publishing. The book is
held by the publisher in electronic form and is
printed out in the hard copy form only on
order. This is also done for a flat fee. While
many commercial publishers also offer the
POD format, this is a model more often
followed by the subsidy e-publishers.
6. 3) Subsidy Publishers:
6
Subsidy e publishers differ from commercial publishers in several
ways. For one, they accept most manuscripts and publish them on
an “as is” basis. These are not edited or proofread or even
formatted.
They have a virtual rate card for add-on charges for these
services, should the author opt for it. Everything, from adding
images or graphics to copyright registration, is offered at add-on
rates. They publish books for a flat fee and pay the authors a
royalty that is comparable to what they would receive from the
commercial e-publishers.
However, they are more likely to sell through online stores than
through their own websites.
Likewise, they pass on the added cost of selling through online
stores to the author who receives higher royalties for books sold
through the publisher’s website and lower royalties if they were
sold through, say, Amazon.com.
7. 4) Self publishers
7
These are authors who choose to publish their
e book on their own and in the bargain earn
hundred percent revenues and keep all
publishing rights. The main idea is to avoid the
publishing, marketing, licensing costs and
keep complete control over the design, price
and marketing strategy.
8. Distributors &agent vendors
8
These are book stores which sell e books. They offer a platform
for the finished product or earlier print publication to be sold as
e book and share percentage (20-30%) of the royalties.
They do not charge the author.
They do not charge a fee, but take a slice of the royalties. Price
setting is usually the author’s prerogative.
The no-fee distributors do not offer services like editing or
formatting. This works well for the authors who prefer the self
publishing model, but want to offload the task of setting up their
own “store front” or website.
This also does away with the need to register as a retail
business as they get paid royalties by the distributors as
opposed to revenues on sales.
15. Voyager’s books on CD
The Voyager Company was a pioneer in CD-
ROM production in the 1980s and early 1990s,
and published The Criterion Collection, a
pioneering home video collection of classic
and important contemporary films on
Laserdisc.
16. Adobe’s PDF format
Portable Document Format (PDF) is an open
standard for document exchange. This file
format, created by Adobe Systems in 1993, is
used for representing documents in a manner
independent of application software,
hardware, and operating systems.
Each PDF file encapsulates a complete
description of a fixed-layout flat document,
including the text, fonts, graphics, and other
information needed to display it.
17. PDF Characteristics
An open standard — PDF is a formal open
standard known as ISO 32000. Maintained by
the International Organization for
Standardization, ISO 32000.
Multiplatform — PDF files are viewable and
printable on virtually any platform, including
Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms such
as Android.
18. PDF Characteristics
Trusted and reliable — More than 150 million
PDF documents publicly available on the web
today, along with countless PDF files in
government agencies and businesses around
the world, serve as evidence of the number of
organizations that rely on PDF to capture
information.
19. PDF Characteristics
Rich in file integrity — PDF files look like
original documents and preserve source file
information — text, drawings, multimedia,
video, 3D, maps, full-color graphics, photos,
and even business logic — regardless of the
application used to create them and even
when compiled from multiple formats into a
single PDF Portfolio.
Searchable — Text-search features in
documents and metadata make PDF
documents easily searchable.

32. E-Book Reader
An e-book reader is a portable electronic
device that is designed primarily for the
purpose of reading digital books and
periodicals.
e-book readers are similar in form to a
tablet computer. A tablet computer
typically has a faster screen capable of
higher refresh rates which makes them
more suitable for interaction.
33. E-Book Reader Cont.
The main advantages of e-book readers are
better readability of their screens especially in
bright sunlight and longer battery life. This is
achieved by using electronic paper technology
to display content to readers.
Any device that can display text on a screen
can act as an e-book reader, but without the
advantages of the e-paper technology
35. what to look for in an eBook reader
M ory: How many eBooks or other documents does the
em
eBook reader have the capacity for? Can this memory capacity
be increased?
F at type: Can the eBook reader handle a variety of file types
orm
or only one type (see previous step)? Is this ability (or lack of it)
reflected in the price?
Connectivity: Does the eBook reader have 3G and WiFi
connectivity? Most of the recent ones should by now.
Screen friendliness: Here you need to be concerned about
viewability, color, size, and reflectiveness (glare).
Vie wa bility : Is it easy to read? Which eBook readers seem most like
the pages of a book? Some have more of this feel than others.
36. what to look for in an eBook reader
Co lo r: Black and white or color? Both have advantages and
drawbacks. Black and white is easy on the eye for novels and
sun reading (see "Viewability" below), while books and other
items such as magazines or comics which need color to
transfer their beauty and photos (such as art books,
cookbooks, graphic novels, etc.), won't appear so well on
plain black and white eBook readers and should be
experienced in color.
Siz e : Compare the eBook reader screen with the screen of
non-dedicated eBook readers such as an iPad or your laptop
to see which you prefer, and if you're happy to downsize your
screen reading experience.
37. what to look for in an eBook reader
Re fle c tive ne s s : One of the advantages of black and white
eBook readers (using E-ink technology) is that they can be
read in full sun without reflecting, glaring, or loss of image,
unlike a laptop, color eBook, or an iPad. If you're planning on
reading outdoors a lot, keep this consideration at the
forefront.
W eight and com fort: Each person's impression of weight and
feel is rightly different but there are some things to assess:
Does it weigh less than your usual paperback? It should.
Is it easy to carry and hold? You don't want something that's
bulky, awkward, or hard to hold. In particular, be sure to hold
the eBook reader in the store to check its weight and to
ascertain whether the weight is comfortable for you
38. what to look for in an eBook reader
Battery life: What's the battery life promised by the
blurb? You don't want an eBook reader that runs out
after an hour of sitting on your hammock at the beach.
You could have taken a paper novel along in that case!
Can the battery be replaced by you or do you need to
send the eReader to a technician for replacement?
E of downloading: Is it easy to download eBooks?
ase
Do you have to connect to the computer or can it be done
without a computer as the intermediary?
39. what to look for in an eBook reader
Shareability: The ability to transfer eBooks to another
eBook reader is important, especially if you need to
remove purchased books from an old eBook reader to
a new one; if you can't do this, you may lose the
purchase when the eBook reader dies.
Other features: What other features does the eBook
reader have? For example, does it allow you to add
notes? How easy is the process? Some readers have
keyboards that work well. Others are difficult to use
and can distract you from your reading. How easy is it
to "page back" and find something?
