Abstract: This paper identifies and outlines the role & importance of various Institutional Repositories (IR) in India. The rapid advent use of IT has completely revolutionized the library systems and changed library services. In India open access movement is getting momentum in libraries to overcome the access barriers of scholarly publication. The institutional repositories were identified through a study of the literature, as well as internet searching and browsing. Each of the Institutional Repository software has a lot of features, unique facilities and excellent capabilities, which the users could explore and experiment. But in this paper we have tried to compare only, two Institutional Repository software i.e. Dspace & Eprints & its role in building Institutional Repositories along with the comparison the various aspects of D-space & E-print software, the various institutions using it in India for their Institutional Repository. Most of the Institutional Repositories (IR) in India use D-space and E-prints software. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/983 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The paper highlights about the importance of total quality management in libraries. It is an view that the condition which challenged in libraries of Total Quality Management are very much prevalent here. It is not, however, clear if library managers are effecting the necessary changes to satisfy their clients. In the face of these challenges it is now time for libraries to exhibit that they are valuable to the continued survival and sustenance of their organizations. This can be done best by activity management. Therefore, it is a “system of continuous improvement employing participative management centered on the needs of customers”. Key components of TQM are employee involvement and training, problem solving teams, statistical methods, long term goals and thinking and recognition that the system, not people produces inefficiencies. It is a systematic process, which focuses on understanding customer needs and improving customer services. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1298 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Application of technologies could create new possibilities to deal with the collections, organization and propagation of vast amount of information. In the library and information centre ICT is used as enabling technology for the acquisition, representation, storage, transmission, and use of resources in electronic form known as e-resources. Electronic resources are regarded as the mines of information that are explored through modern ICT devices, refined and redesigned and more often stored in the cyber space in the most concrete and compact form and can be accessed simultaneously from infinite points by a great number of audience. The libraries could not provide the adequate information to the academic communities including students and researchers at large due to the multi disciplinary research and proliferation of information which compelled the libraries to move from print to electronic sources. The electronic sources now available profusely on Internet, World Wide Web and Consortia including subject gateways facilitated the users to be with in the midst of the galaxy of information. The present study highlights the use, evaluation and management of e-resources in Central Library, Tezpur University where the user community take the opportunities to make the best use of e-resources provided by the said library.

Abstract: Major forces such as encouraging the implementation of e-Learning in India, reduction in educational budget, competitive threats, changing profile of learner and the vast geographic area are in demand. With the rapid advancement in computer & software and convergence of it with telecommunication technology, it is possible to make education more accessible, more flexible and less expensive. It is not a distant dream that pockets of e-learning existing in India will be networked and Virtual University networks will be created. However, it is also true that educational projects are never better than the pedagogy they are based on. It is a fact that learning takes place in the brain of a learner and is greatly depends on memory retention and recall, thus, all our pedagogical approaches should attempt to enhance it. Virtualization of university is an internet paradigm which requires completely different technology oriented methodology with technology compatible pedagogical framework. This paper focuses on distance learning concept, then moves on to open and distance learning approach, furthermore it discusses the Information and Communication Technology enabled open distance learning concept which leads to virtualization process of universities. This paper also throws light on some of the important concepts related with information and communication technology enabled open distance learning based virtual university such as e-learning, online learning and flexible learning. Actually, e-learning implementation is the most effective way to achieve virtual university concept. Some of the e-learning applications such as e-content, learning objects, open educational recourses, and open courseware are also clarified in this paper. All these concepts pertaining to virtualization of universities are heavily dependent upon successful distribution and delivery of content. There are two types of delivery concepts in any open distance learning approach; synchronous and asynchronous. The paper suggests that it would be beneficial if virtualization process of any university adopts both the concepts of content deliveryThe problems associated with Indian universities and institutes, which can be addressed by information and communication technology enabled virtual university implementation, are also mentioned in this paper. It also discusses some advantages and generic elements associated with virtual university. Further, some essential implementation steps and requirements in the process of achieving information and communication technology based virtual university are formulated and given. This paper also comprises an e-learning based content development model and gets concluded with some of the limitations of information and communication technology based learning environment, and recent technology for virtual university.
