Abstract: Innovations in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have been changing all spheres of lives. Libraries are tremendously changed with the impact of ICT on its day-to-day routines. Through this paper an attempt is being made to highlight the growth of libraries from private or personal library to digital and virtual library. We are in era of digital library but in true sense presently, hybrid libraries are dominating structure of libraries. Increasing information demands of the user insisting library professionals to keep virtual library as their target library, which is fixed to be complete with the development of ICT.

Abstract: Abstract A Search Engine is a program designed to find information on the World Wide Web, inside a corporate or proprietary network or a personal computer. The very first tool used for searching on the Internet was Archie (1990) was created at McGill University and the first Web search engine Wandex (1993) was developed by Matthew Gray at MIT. Thereafter, many search engines came into use. There are a wide variety of Search Engines across the Internet and help us to find the most accurate and relevant information across the Information Superhighway. This paper attempts to mine, classify and profile the special Search Engines which are also known as Topical or Vertical Search Engines and Vortals.

Abstract: Most of the Libraries today, offer a wide range of on-line services to their users. And, now, the internet and web technologies are not the new things to any academician hence, it is the time for a Library to be virtual and develop its on-line presence in order to further facilitate and enrich the educational processes. In this direction, Virtual Libraries provide a new way of serving the new generation users of the libraries. Virtual libraries are the new vision of libraries of the future. This paper provides an overview of a Virtual Library System. It narrates purpose, features, functions, design and development of a Virtual Library and Virtual Library Environment. Impact of ‘Virtual Library’ on ‘Lifelong Learning’ has also been emphasized. It also enumerates principles of development of Virtual Library Collection and advantages of Virtual Libraries. Notably, suggests and advocates for the Virtual Library of India to be hosted by the INFLIBNET Centre. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1430 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: In this age of Information Technology, there have been so many opportunities for the Librarians for involvement in an information-based society including electronic and multimedia publishing, Internet based-information services, global networking, web based digital resources etc. The base of recorded information is growing at an accelerating rate, in increasing varieties of formats (texts, numeric, graphic, video, audio, image, electronic, etc.). Virtual Library can be defined as the Internet based Digital Library. The concept of “Virtual Library” is that any person who has a computer by which he can make connection to the library networks can access not only the resources of the library but also access variety of information that is available nationally and internationally through networks, like Internet, Intranet without being physically present in library. This article explains what is meant by a Virtual Library and to build a virtual library in what way the Librarians have to change their roles to face the challenges of modern Information Technologies in the changing environment. Also this article, discusses about the changing role of librarians, the skills needed to build a virtual library and how the virtual information should be collected, managed, preserved and disseminated to the millennium users.

Abstract: As public access to the internet increases, libraries will receive more and more information online, predominantly through email. Object of this paper is to check the current developing, testing, and evaluating procedures and mechanisms that will enable libraries to work in providing reference assistance over the Web to support patrons’ image information needs. The user-centered project is based upon a successful model for digital reference practice that has been widely embraced in the digital library community. This approach is expected to yield new insight into users’ image seeking behavior that will help libraries to provide transparent access to visual resources across collections and institutions. This article presents an overview of the project and discusses the challenges involved in helping users find appropriate images on the web. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1393 Files in this item: 1

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.
