Abstract:
The present study is an attempt to highlight the problem of typographical errors in OPACS. The
errors made while typing catalogue entries as well as importing bibliographical records from other
libraries exist unnoticed by librarians resulting the non-retrieval of available records and affecting
the quality of OPACs. This paper follows previous research on the topic mainly by Jeffrey Beall and
Terry Ballard. The word “management” was chosen from the list of likely to be misspelled words
identified by previous research. It was found that the word is wrongly entered in several forms in
local, national and international OPACs justifying the observations of Ballard that typos occur in
almost everywhere. Though there are lots of corrective measures proposed and are in use, the study
asserts the fact that human effort is needed to get rid of the problem. The paper is also an invitation
to the library professionals and system designers to construct a strategy to solve the issue

Abstract:
The goal of this work is to develop an Open Agent Architecture for Multilingual information
retrieval from Relational Database. The query for information retrieval can be given in plain
Hindi or Malayalam; two prominent regional languages of India. The system supports
distributed processing of user requests through collaborating agents. Natural language
processing techniques are used for meaning extraction from the plain query and information
is given back to the user in his/ her native language. The system architecture is designed
in a structured way so that it can be adapted to other regional languages of India
