Abstract: Paper discusses the various indicators of assessing quality of the library services giving emphasis on input processing activities mainly responsible for quality products. Asserting that quality of output primarily based upon quality of input given by the library staff, therefore suggests that more weightage should be given to acquisition, content analysis, professional aptitude, maintenance etc rather than merely measuring the level of users satisfaction . Concludes, endorsing 5th point out of 14 points of Deming to improve constantly and forever the system of production (preparing documents for use) and services applicable to libraries to bring changes in the existing scenario.

Abstract: The availability of a large number of software packages in the market for library automation has made it important for libraries to adopt suitable criteria in the selection of appropriate software. An attempt has been made in this paper to develop a system for optimal selection of software products using fuzzy logic. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/178 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: It seems to recall a time when protocols and standards were two different things. In the past couple of years, the craze over new protocols has seemingly breathed new life into library information technology, replacing the doldrums of standards with the hope of new, universally accepted protocols. It must be admitted that to being too young to have been there, but It would be wonder if things felt like this when MARC and Z39.50 were poised to change the world of library automation. MARC and Z39.50? It’s XML and Open URL, and the Open Archives Initiative. In this paper I tried throwing light on ability to search the resources with a single interface.

Abstract: The importance of Information and Communication Technologies in distance learning has been acknowledged as an essential component of strengthening LIS education in the remote areas of the north eastern states of India. (Rath). The same could be said of the use of ICT for LIS education in remote areas of Australia and in America. The infrastructure of physical, human and financial resources all attract students to the profession. This reflective essay discusses Robert Stueart’s 1999 challenge to information access in Asia: “One of the most important activities is information society is to maintain a cadre of qualified information professionals”. (Stueart, 1999). Maintaining a cadre of information professionals is also an appropriate challenge to India. Information professionals themselves are the channel of globalization of education because they see the need for standards in computerisation initiatives and promote communities of practice worldwide.

Abstract: Content management technologies have been existing to cater to needs like records management and document management. Inclusion of Web-content in library repositories has necessitated current technological tools to be redesigned. A new content management technology focussing on the management of web-content is seen in the light of LIS. For the present paper, the phases of WCM implementation are factually checked against the findings of a pilot survey conducted for select 15 libraries of Mumbai. Survey findings indicate a definite shift in the activities of handling content. WCM features are juxtaposed against these activities to highlight the WCM benefits. Considering the expenses involved, the article suggests on exploring the Open Source Systems by testing the online demos available. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/378 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Journals are an important source of information to a research community. But the problems associated with information explosion and escalating cost of journals have made it difficult to effectively access the information contained in journals, even for a narrow subject area. Application of information technology, like availability of on-line journals and e-mail based table of contents services, has eased the problem to some extent. One such service is the Electronic Table of Contents (ETOC) service provided by National Centre for Science Information (NCSI) to the research community at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). This service is based on the Current Contents obtained from Institute of Scientific Information (ISI). This work aims to add value to the ETOC service by including information about the availability or non-availability of a journal in the JRD Tata Memorial Library in the institute in the ETOC service.

Abstract: The enormous growth of the web, starting from zero to everything in the last decade, has forced us to believe in the impossible again. It might be the long-heralded great library of all knowledge really being within our grip? Today we need a building about the size of a small-town library to house 50 petabytes. With the advancement of tomorrow’s technology, it will fit into our iPod or may be some new device, which can store large amount of data. When that happens, the library of all libraries will ride in our purse or every individual’s pocket. If it doesn’t plug directly into our brain with thin white cords… Converting inked letters into electronic dots that can be read on a screen is simply the first essential step in creating this new library. The real magic will come in the second act, as each word in each book is cross-linked, clustered, cited, extracted, indexed, analyzed, annotated, remixed, reassembled and woven deeper into the culture than ever before. In the new world of books, every bit informs another; every page reads all the other pages… This paper mainly discusses about the long tail as an emerging technology for libraries in the network environme URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1282 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The unique knowledge base for the profession of pharmacy is the body of drug information that the pharmacists use to define, monitor and modify the drug therapy of the patients that he or she serves. Digital resources offer such possibility and possess advantages over traditional sources with respect to access of information. One of the greatest benefit of digital resources is that, users can access the resources themselves. The focus of this paper is on the management of digital resources. Response to specific questions relating to pharmaceutical practices, the growth of pharmaceutical information and the use of Information Technology for managing digital sources are some of the facets dealt in detail. Pharmaceutical Digital Resources in the form of CD-ROMs and Web sites and their contents are detailed for information and use. Finally, an emphasis has been made for acquiring and familiarising Information Technology related techniques for effective use of pharmaceutical information.

Abstract: Declining library budgets, growing user expectations, technological innovations, and the globaization of information have forced the library and information (LI) professionals to share their precious resources via networks. As a response to these developments, there is a transition from stand alone libraries to library and information networks, infomediaries to infoliterate end-users, and print-based publications to digital documents. The professional competencies are falling short in managing access to the web-based digital documents. In this context, an effort has been made in this paper to raise a few pertinent issues and discuss the implications of the web-based digital documents for the LI profession.
