Abstract: Librarians have to learn how to do a lot with just a little in order to promote awareness of their programs and services. They have seized the opportunities to market libraries in the real world via traditional media: newspapers, corporate newsletters, radio, and TV. Many libraries produce brochures, pathfinders, and their own newsletters. So it is no surprise to see librarians stepping up to the plate and spreading the word online with blogs. Savvy librarians have identified blogs as another means to market libraries and their services. The article discuses basics of blogs, like history, types, features and limitations. And also it explains how it’s useful for librarians. Finally, few samples of Library blogs are presented and explained to highlight the importance of blogs in libraries.

Abstract: The present paper is a joint venture of two authors who worked differently on manuscripts of Manipur and rare Buddhist manuscripts of Arunachal Pradesh, and the problematic of restoration and digitization in modern context. The major objective of the proposed study would be to delineate the modus operandi for the restoration of the rare Buddhist manuscripts in Arunachal Pradesh and rare manuscripts of Manipur, involving such scientific methods as electronic scanning, digitization, etc. However, these scientific methods would be complementary to the time-tested, indigenous and traditional methods of physical preservation in order to make these manuscripts available in its original or the simulated formats for the next generation. The electronic rendition of the calligraphies and art forms would be hosted on the web or it can be preserved in repositories by using D-Space software, so as to facilitate the entire world to comprehend the essence and tenets of manuscripts.

Abstract: The idea of converting library materials into digital format for creating digital collections has advanced rapidly in the last few years, thus leading to the concept of a digital library. A digital library is a library that contains materials in digitized form or access to internal or external digital resources. Digital information resources include not only rapidly growing collection of electronic full text resources, but also images, video, sound, and even objects of virtual reality. The most important component of a digital library is digital collection it holds or has access to. A digital library can have a wide range of resources. A digital library is not a single entity although it may have digital contents created in-hourse or acquired in digital formats stored locally on servers. A digital library may also act a portal site providing access to digital collections held elsewhere. The digital imaging technology offers a number of choices that can be adopted to translate from print to digital. Digital conversion process includes Document, Data Capture, Data Processing, Storage, Indexing and retrieval. Dublin Core standard is adopted internationally to create Meta data of digital resources. The advent of the Internet acted as catalyst for Digital Library initiatives. Digital library environment is the context of rapidly charging computer and communication technology. This paper explains digitization methods, process of digitization and tools required for digitization. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1352 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Digitization has immense potential to store, preserve, disseminate and redistribute cultural materials, if the materials are captured in a bit stream format so as to enable to access through network for learning and understanding the history and culture of a civic society. Generally these materials are stored in museums or in libraries, but they can be spread over the globe and with the spread of the Internet, such contents can be made available to any corner of the world. Universal access implicitly assumes a largely unidirectional flow of information from the developed world to the developing world but the latter is often richer in traditional wisdom, crafts, and cultural artifacts: digital technologies have the potential to preserve that heritage and make it accessible. For developing an Image Repository for photographs of Ancient cultural material by using the advanced digital technology is a challenge, which include description of the photographs of Indian cultural Heritage Materials, Creating Metadata from the sample, Mapping the created metadata with Dublin Core, Developing an Image Repository System using Digital Library open source software etc. This paper is the result of the case study of such an attempt by the authors on exploring Open Source Digital Library Software, DSpace, for preserving the cultural heritage materials.

Abstract: Information is the basic necessity for all organizations. New discoveries and inventions have lead to information explosion. It is difficult to avoid redundancy. Several sources and methods of tapping knowledge are available. Knowledge map is one such tool that acts as the pointer to experts in specific knowledge domains. The tool can best be utilized by librarians to identify the domain experts for referral services and to know who knows what in different domains and save the time of the user. Here is a small initiative to bring forward the web-based, database driven Knowledge Map: Kmap-IISc. This Knowledge Map would act as a pointer to experts in specific knowledge domains in Indian Institute of Science (IISc). It has the well-developed content management tool for addition, modification and deletion of expert’s profiles. Search and browse for Kmap-IISc facilitates to retrieve the results of experts working in specific knowledge domains. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/230 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: vascoda (www.vascoda.de) is a new portal for scientific information – it is the nucleus of the German digital library. vascoda is a central access point for interdisciplinary searches ranging from humanities and social sciences to medical studies, engineering, and more. Access to all types of documents is made possible: born-digital as well as digitised and print materials can be obtained either free of charge or through pay-per-view options. The service already includes full-texts, link-collections, databases, subject-specific search engines and more. More than forty German institutions – mostly libraries and other information specialists are working together to offer users an actual one-stop-shop for all scientific information. The first release of vascoda was realized through the co-operation of the network of subjectbased Virtual Libraries sponsored by the DFG (German Research Society) as well as the Information Alliance and the Electronic Journals Library sponsored by the BMBF (Federal Ministry for Education and Research). Together, these institutions make it possible to combine the search for information and the access to full-text documents. Some of the journal articles and other documents can be accessed free of charge from anywhere in the world, the licence information for Germany is provided by the Electronic Journals Library and other partners. In this paper, the services of vascoda and examples of how to find quality information for different fields of study will be presented. In spring 2005, a number of new services will be provided. This paper will also look into some of the future developments of vascoda. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1538 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Today on line education using computer-mediated communication to connect the learners and the instructors via the Internet (asynchronous learning networks) is more effective. Online queries are more in use than the traditional class tests. Tutorials conucted in traditional ways are all replaced by audio-visual conferences, e-mail, chat, listservers, news groups, simulations and guest chat on the Internet. Thus new learning modes and media is being initiated for enhancement of quality. The present paper discusses about the concept of digital library and building up of digital resources collection for effective E-Learning programmes. The importance of digitized grey literature collection to enhance the quality of e-learning programmes is highlighted. The digital exposition is a remedial answer by the little screen but extensive knowledge becomes positive and possible through a resourceful digital database.
