A tool for developing virtual library and digitalizing information system
for librarians, scholars, information specialists or researchers*.** *
*Respected Sir or Madam,*
Namaskar!
*Sub.: **CDS/ISIS for Windows Documentation** ****CDS/ISIS and WINISIS
Software Database Package*
*How is your development of your computerized documentation using WINISIS:
installing, downloading, formatting language, searching, indexing and
information retrieval system and using new applications, kindly have your
response please?*
This is so called the age of intellectual power and we need freedom of right
of Information Technology: In this age of *Cybermetrics and Informetrics. *We
are now struggling to reach the '* **LOK- TANTRIC intellectual FREEDOM of
righ**t with the new horizon of imagination, knowledge and power to uplift
our knowledge based society of New Nepal'.*
I would like to request you to circulate or posting this message: a very
powerful intellectual software package to manage and organize your
information at your concerned centres or related branches of the non-profit
system or organizations. For more information you may refer:
WWW.unesco.org/isis/ <http://www.unesco.org/isis/>
How is narrowing the gap of *digitalized divide*; between information rich
and information poor? It is just like a *'leapfrogging process'**,* which
denotes accelerating digitalized process for institutionalization and good
governance of information management system. UNESCO's WINISIS system has
been a boon to create cyber culture to our intellectual communities. So the
information or knowledge *empowerment* has been the basic principle for
developing scientific culture in our social system.
This package is the powerful tools of *'Knowledge Management (KM)'* and
Information searching, indexing and bibliographic cataloguing, searching,
printing and remote learning or e-learning purposes. It is one of the most
powerful bibliographic or textual information retrieval software used
especially for library and information digitalization, information and
remote learning for the end users or remote learning purposes. Also, it is
used for developing information consortium and networking purposes in the
modern middle scale or small scale libraries or information centre's
purposes. It's also used for research and development (R & D) for scholar's
and networking for the users of various disciplines.
During the past twelve months, UNESCO has distributed upon request more
than a million copies of its information storage and retrieval software
CDS/ISIS. Most of the requests for the software that is available in version
1.5 for Windows, are received online. The high demand of CDS/ISIS shows that
free software is very much needed for managing databases in libraries and
information centers." 40 percent of the requests have been received from
these institutions, he adds. Micro CDS/ISIS is advanced non-numerical
information storage and retrieval software developed by UNESCO since 1985 to
satisfy the need expressed by many institutions, especially in developing
countries, to be able to streamline in information processing activities by
using modern and relatively inexpensive technologies.
The software was originally used on the Mainframe version of CDS/ISIS,
started in the late '60s, the advantage of several years of experience
acquired in database management software development. Several partners
contributed to its involvement through the years.
UNESCO has accumulated significant experience in facilitating the
development of some key software tools for processing information. These
software tools are distributed free-of-charge and the objective is to
empower the users by giving them access to some technology for development
and knowledge sharing, that most of them otherwise could not afford.
The development model is based international cooperation and the software
tools are continuously enriched, modified and updated with the cooperation
of a community of experts from different countries. The most popular
UNESCO's software tools are: CDS/ISIS, IDAMS and Greenstone. In Nepal, more
than 2000 libraries and information centers are using this software package
CDS/ISIS or WINISIS. For more information, you may contact with your
