Abstract: Developments in information communication technologies has brought about an accelerated information explosion and huge change in how information is being produced, processed, stored and communicated. Information is now being made available in digital format accessed via electronic networks such as the Internet, and being stored or preserved in digital archives or collections. In addition, digital information can be manipulated and disseminated very easily. Such forms of development have resulted in major concerns in the protection of digital information sources under existing copyright and other related laws and regulations. This Paper examines the efforts being made to revise copyright laws in order to include the protection of digital information sources, and the role library and information professionals and institutions around the world, can play to ensure that revised copyright laws do not have a negative impact on the free flow of information and access to digital information sources. The situation regarding copyright laws, digital information and libraries in India is discussed and numbers of observations are made. Also discusses the role of IFLA for protecting electronic Intellectual Property Right. It focuses on various categories of Intellectual Property Rights viz. Patent, Design, Trade Marks and Copyright in the light of utility of information related to Indian scenario. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/43 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: With growing interest in the Internet, more specifically, the World Wide Web, over the past few years and rapid growth in the number of users, the volume of information carried by the Internet has increased dramatically both in sheer size and diversity. In addition, vast amount of information on the Web is publicly available to users with uncontrolled, unstructured, and drastically changing nature. Internet search engines, meta-search engines and subject directories have contributed, to a certain extent, in finding information required by the user. However, it is a time consuming task because the user has to actively search relevant information. In the context of Internet and World Wide Web, keeping completely current with all latest information available is an impossible task. But, majority of services such as the Current Awareness Services, alert service table of contents of journals, new books, standards, patents, Web page monitors, E-Newsletter and daily news digests, etc. are based on the concept called push technology for delivering latest literature right to the end-user’s desktop through e-mail as soon as published. When full-fledged features of the push technology are utilized for providing current awareness service using Web resources, it will not only open new opportunities to the librarians but also to the end-users to keep up-to-date with latest literature. The article describes the opportunities open for the Cyber Librarian, advantages and down sides of push technology, push models, types of notifications and user interfaces, and active current awareness services on World Wide Web that are relevant to the library profession.

Abstract: Libraries and library professionals have tried to keep up with technological advances that impact information services. With the increase of resources on the web, librarians are exploring methods of integrating bibliographic resources found when searching or browsing the web. For instance there are currently some tools like citation managers, that librarians can collect some bibliographic data and can integrate it into in-house systems. So far libraries used technology but often those that needed human intervention to interpret. This paper aims discuss various a Semantic Web(SW)technologies that can be exploited for better and efficient management of resources enabling meaning representation so that data can be manipulated ‘with meaning and context’ by agents. SWTs offer a wide range of possible applications to meaningfully managing information resources.A typical ordering scenario is used to demonstrate the deployment of SW techniques.

Abstract: Reengineering as a management tool has been effectively used in many business organizations to transform vast segment of their operations and has played a major role in the resurgence of large companies world over. Reengineering requires radical rethinking and redesign of practices and processes to achieve dramatic improvements in performance while keeping the customer at the center of the exercise. Many libraries in developed countries have applied reengineering to face the challenges of declining library budgets, increasing costs of various inputs and resources, and rising demand of users for newer and faster services. Internet and information technology offer tremendous opportunities to abandon a number of old and obsolete practices and procedures, reduce time gap between the demand and delivery and considerably improve the quality of services and user satisfaction. This paper attempts to define reengineering and states how is it different from restructuring, reorganization, or quality improvement, though all these may occur as a by-product. Paper also reviews various attempts to reengineer libraries or their practices and processes. “How do we begin” lists the key elements that need to be taken care while reengineering. It highlights the need for reengineering of library acquisitions and enumerates key processes involved in the acquisition of print and electronic resources. Suggests that the reengineering of library acquisitions shall include reengineering of acquisition policy, acquisition processes, acquired material (library collection) and staff. Stresses the need for a well made plan to implement the reengineering which shall include (a) clear definition of the goals of the reengineering, (b) selecting the reengineering team, (c) identification and analysis of the policies, systems, procedures, practices and products to be reengineered, (d) developing and testing of reenginered work flow / processes, (e) implementation and time frame, and (f) gap analysis, correction. Reengineering will not be an easy task for any library. It is also not a one time job, it is a continuous long process. Librarians and libraries will face several challenges while implementing reengineering which can be overcome with the support and commitment of all stakeholders.

Abstract: Libraries have always had the ability to respond to the challenges of technology, from the printing press of the middle ages to the print explosion of the twentieth century, to the digital ‘print’ of today. Modern economic rationalism demands that libraries become more accountable for both the services they provide and the funds they expand. Such accountability requires libraries to investigate, analyze and, where necessary change the methods and processes they have traditionally undertaken to justify their very existence to funding bodies. Re-engineering is about changing to the way we do things. Re-engineering is reinventing the way one does business, by stepping back and examining values, goals, and the system processes used to meet these goals. Process redesign is often an outcome of this evaluation. The acquisition process is one prime process for re-engineering as it consists of a large number of easily identifiable routines which can be compartmentalized, and altered as required. This paper is case study of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University Library (DRBRAOUL) and its Acquisition Section and how to reengineer the Library Acquisitions.

Abstract: The introduction of new information and communication technologies, as well as the emergence and development of new techniques in information processing, storage, and dissemination have changed the role of all types of libraries in information dissemination. This has made libraries to supplement long-established services with online services to users, fulfilling any time and anywhere needs and expectations. The World Wide Web is a new powerful tool for reference librarians. Information which was once only available to large libraries with very high budgets is suddenly available to any library with Internet connections. Reference librarians themselves are participating in the electronic publication trade by creating Web pages and finding aids to assist both themselves and their users to locate information electronically on the World Wide Web. The web which poses a new challenge for librarians, offers major new tools and techniques to provide the powerful services. The present paper tries to focus new aspect of reference service. It also highlights the various efforts undertaken by different types of libraries in this direction. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/970 Files in this item: 1
