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

Institutional Repositories Movement in India: Tips & Strategies for Success in the Challenging TimesVij, Rajeev; Soni, Navin Kumar (INFLIBNET Centre, February 18, 2010)[more][less]
Abstract: The paper highlights the institutional repositories (IRs) movement in India updated till Nov 2009. The paper attempts to identify and evaluate institutional repositories in India with special reference to initiatives taken by twelve DRDO laboratories/establishments including DESIDOC. This paper gives a comprehensive listing of workshops conducted in India to promote development of IRs and also lists institutional repositories developed in India, most of which are available in the public domain. The IRs are identified through a study of the literature, as well as internet searching and browsing. A questionnaire based survey followed by select telephonic interviews were conducted to examine the number of DRDO labs/estts, who have already hosted IRs, and those who intend to do so in the near future. Use of open source software, especially DSpace, is found to be most commonly used for the creation of IRs in India. The collection size in most of the IRs of India is in few hundred records only. IRs face a seemingly endless set of interrelated challenges. Most pertinent questions are: How can we attract content? And how can we integrate IRs into the Institutions landscape? The paper highlights the Indian initiatives in the field of IRs. It provides an overview of the 69 institutional repositories of Indian institutions in a range of subject disciplines. This article highlights software requirements for setting up IRs and the current trends in India. The paper conducts a literature review and questionnaire survey on IRs already established and those planned in near future among DRDO Labs/Estt and to incorporate it with the authors’ own experiences. The authors believe that institutional repositories will help in the sharing of institutional intellectual output and will increase article citations and the impact factors of Indian publications. The LIS professionals should play a proactive role in the growth of e-resources in institutional repositories to enable IRs to become sustainable in the future also. This paper explores some of the challenges and benefits to libraries operating an IR. Lastly, this paper will examine the future of IR’s as it relates to issues in sustainability and viability for institutional repositories. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/977 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The article outlines the overview of Institutional Repositories. A growing number of universities across the globe are running institutional repositories projects using open source software, while many others are in the planning stages. We move towards global sharing of information using these software and librarian have to play pivotal role in archiving the digital content, produced by the faculty members. Within next few years, I expect that universities in India also create repositories and effectively use open source software. This article describes about the current development of Open Access Initiative, Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) an important infrastructure component for Institutional repositories. A convergence of technology developments and other initiatives has made IRs possible. Technology costs, especially storage costs, have dropped significantly. There is now a variety of open source and commercial software platforms available for an institution wishing to develop an IR.. The paper highlights about general overview of Institutional Repositories, open source software, standard and protocol and role of INFLIBNET. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/421 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The information evolution leads to the flood of publication. User needs are also rapidly growing. They have to read more journals, require more information but the prices have increased faster than library budget. So to cope up the situation and meet the user requirement the institutional repositories has been emerged. In the age of ICT, the concept of institutional repository has arisen, which have become very essential mode of accessing and sharing the information. Information is always considered the root cause for the development of any society/community. Intuitional Repositories are digital collections of the outputs created within a university or research institution. This paper discussed about growth of IR in India and also global scenario of IRs. This paper is a consideration of some of the important aspects related with IRs. It also explores the trends at global and national level of IR. The present paper also discusses about some important software, which is being used by IR of various organizations world wide and described objective, definitions, content, use, features, design, advantages, key components, issues and challenges, etc. IR consists of formally organized and managed collections of digital content generated by the faculty, staff and students of an institution. IR enhance the visibility of the research outputs locally produced. The paper concludes with the remarks that the LIS professionals need to have more active and responsible for generation and maintenance of IR systems efficiently and effectively. Librarian is the focal point, the IR system as he plays a role of designer as well as service provider. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1699 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Institutional Repositories (IRs) are a visible manifestation of the emerging importance of Knowledge Management (KM) in higher education. Paradoxically, “scholarly respect for knowledge and a desire to ensure academic freedom make most institutions reluctant to manage knowledge of any sort”. This paper explains the concept of Institutional Repository (IR) and brings out the definitional analysis of IR definitions. Briefly describes the initiatives taken towards building IRs. States the logical Principles of IR and emphasizes its significance in Academic and Research Institutions. Further highlights the benefits in developing IRs. Explains the availability of free and fee software in the design and development of IRs and enumerates features of each software. Finally urges to adopt relevant standards to achieve globalization and access of IRs by universal community. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/542 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Software is a critical digital content component that is generated on academic campus by way of mandatory course requirements. These software need to be protected with an assigned ownership and a specific terms of use. Software that is generated on campuses typically does not get archived or catalogued in campus-wide repositories. SALIS a prototype software repository addresses these needs and serves to augment typical institutional repositories. This paper attempts to bring out the need for protecting the software generated on campuses and the need to archive it in an orderly manner. Additionally SALIS also addresses Intellectual Property concerns such as ownership, protection and terms of use of the software produced and provide an effective way of archiving URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1190 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Dynamic Web content provides us with time-sensitive and continuously changing data. To glean up-to-date information, users need to regularly browse, collect and analyze this Web content. Without proper tool support this information management task is tedious, timeconsuming and error prone, especially when the quantity of the dynamic Web content is large, when many information management services are needed to analyze it, and when underlying services/network are not completely reliable. Electronic Warehouse Receipt is not a new concept. Electronic data has given the prospect of eliminating paper documents, reducing costs and improving efficiency by exchanging business information in electronic form. The objective of this paper is developing an Integrate Electronic Warehouse Receipt Management System for Indian agriculture market which supports services like trading, latest price information, electronic warehouse receipt and making all these services available on internet as well as IVR (Interactive Voice response) and Simple Messages Services. Although many agriculture e-business platforms exist in the market but they don’t ensure that the commodity is actually held by the seller and the quantity and quality are as mentioned. To solve this problem we have come with the concept of Electronic Warehouse Receipt (EWR) which is the same as the concept of ‘dematerialization of shares’ or ‘demat’ in short.

Abstract: Intellectual Property Rights having numbers of its characters and linked with real and personal property. IP is an asset and may be bought, sold, licensed, leased, exchanged and may be given away like any other property. IP (Patent, trade mark, copy right and trade secrets) are protected on their own way thus their scope of protection and requirements for granting protection (under law) may differ nation to nation. Presently electronic media/ knowledge of the information is a conceptual rather than a physical entity. Its value usually lies in its nature, content and potential use. Under present circumstances the legal opinion and the Court of Justice have to establish the extent of professional relationship between librarians and their uses in this electronic age. According to Tarter “Information liability can be defined as a two fold question. Firstly who is responsible for creating and providing information for third party consumption and secondly to what extent the creator is actually liable for the quality of information.” Liability of information creators, who create information does not enjoy total freedom of expression. Both the creator and the publisher of information irrespective of the medium in which it is produced are jointly responsible for assuring that information content and is acceptable in legal sense. Determining who is liable for information in the electronic environment, is much more difficult task when taking with printed information. The developed countries have evolved elaborate Laws and Rules, so as to reward the creators of the IP to encourage them and gain from their such activities, and also to ensure that the competitive envi ronment continue and works of creativity to reach the customers on reasonable cost. So that the growth of knowledge would serve the country in its overall economic and social developments.

Abstract: The copyright protection is not merely confined to books but extends to sound recordings, computer programs, films, radio, broadcast etc. The Indian copyright act was passed in 1957 and amended in 1994, 1999 to include computer generating works. Intellectual Property Right in Indian scenario is less known by the people due to extreme illiteracy in context to patent system, copyright etc. included under TRIP (Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights). Librarians play an important role in protecting the rights of copyright holders, patent holders, trademarks, industrial design etc. The Librarians/ information officers should keep themselves aware with latest changes in the Intellectual Property Right and Information Technology Act and their implementation. It is an obligation of the Librarian to keep the user aware about copyright. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/313 Files in this item: 1
