Abstract: Email is a friendly and cost effective technology for communication. Libraries effectively making use of e-mail for marketing the library products and services. Library newsletters furnish with promotional and informative description of information products and services for the target audience. Publication of newsletter for libraries follows the same process as similar to the business newsletters. But content of the newsletter depends upon the nature of library resources, services, activities and users. Like any other promotional tools, success of email newsletter is depending on content presentation, layout, quality of content and delivery time etc. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1248 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: While library automation and Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) are slowly taking place, digital library research and development activities are at a very preliminary stage in India. Never the less various institutions, especially the universities and other academic institution in the country have rich resources that can be shared and put to optimum use through digital libraries. In this paper the down-to-earth approach to building digital libraries for the Ph.D Theses and Dissertations submitted to the Indian Universities has been proposed, primarily for the benefit of the academic and research community. Author proposes that INFLIBNET is in an excellent position to spearhead in building such digital libraries and the same may be taken up in three stages for which simple guidelines have been discussed and presented.

Abstract: This paper reports on a human factors experiment with students’ Google searching. Two different student groups (novice and experienced) volunteered in this study. They carried out five search tasks and their performance was recorded through a computer screen recording application. Data was captured on the time taken, error rates and success score. After completion of search tasks, they all completed a questionnaire on their satisfaction with Google. The performance data showed that overall experienced students performed better. Differences were significant across all performance measures between groups. Students held neither highly positive nor highly negative perceptions about Google. Experienced students were significantly more satisfied with Google than the naive group. The findings could be used to redesign the present Google search engine.

Abstract: Indexing techniques during the earlier phases of their evolution relied entirely on the textual/ conceptual content for the purpose of treating conventional documents for the Index preparation. But with the changing times, the non-conventional documents, such as sound recordings, imageries, paintings, pictures, motion pictures, diagrams and maps etc. were inculcated in the collection maintained by the libraries. And in the modern society, they form integral part of any library collection. For the purpose of treating these non-textual documents, for the adequate storage and retrieval, fresh initiatives are required, preferably incorporating automated facilities. The present paper takes up the specific case of ‘Maps’, being a unique document with an ability to be auxiliary to every other discipline, in addition to that of the mother discipline i.e. Geography. But owing to the same very unique Characteristic, the Indexers face hazards while taking up the indexing of Maps. Since neither the Content nor the Concept based Indexing have been found to be absolutely suitable for the purpose. Therefore a feasibility study for a hybrid type of Indexing system has been attempted in the present paper. Beside the study explores the utility of Geographic Information System as a tool, which can further facilitate the preparation of an Index for a chunk of Maps.

Abstract: Library service is a busy, user-oriented activity, with a deep-rooted emphasis on means rather than ends, on tactics rather than strategy, on building collections rather than on the roles those collections play. This has been reflected by many renewed critics in their professional literature on practical and technical matters. In this paper the authors try to emphasise major changes that are likely to take place and a need for recognition regarding convergence between library, computing , and telecommunications services; of probable changes in the publishing world, and library management using new tools and techniques.

Abstract: ICT plays a crucial role in today’s increasingly globalized world. Libraries are in a process of fundamental change brought about by radical changes in technology. In this state of transition to introduce electronic library services, traditional libraries offer support in the way of personnel, funding, information delivery and management for these electronic libraries. The electronic library is growing fast in parallel to the traditional library. The high rate of growth is dictated by factors outside the library. Libraries are under a lot of pressure to achieve their noble goals much faster than planned, to adopt new technologies, to compete with others in managing the tremendous growth of information and to be able to lead in the area. The management and delivery of information in an electronic library differs from traditional library in many ways. The purpose of this paper is to collect the management and delivery problems arisen out of adoption of the electronic library and to present possible solutions in the areas of five basic parts of scientific management – planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling.

Abstract: The direction and pace of development in ICT have led practically all world economies to recognize the improvement of ICT in catalyzing economic activity, in efficient governance, empowerment of society and bringing about major socio-economic transformations in societies. Developing countries like India, have, therefore, made significant investments in these technologies and integrated the same with the development programmes to gainfully realize the fruits of such developments to their society. However, it is realized that this development has created a divide between the ‘have’ and the ‘have-nots’ in the form of a gap between the ‘technology empowered’ and the ‘technology excluded’ communities. It is therefore catching the attention of governments the world over to device programmes to alleviate this divide, called the digital divide. This paper highlights the digital divide scenario in India, various ICT initiatives undertaken and the major challenges and key solutions in bridging the digital divide in the Indian context.

Abstract: Importance of localization of ICTs in India and the efforts are being made by the different organizations for localization of Indian Languages are highlighted. The role of the North Eastern (NE) universities in India in this regard can be significant for making ICTs useful in the local communities, especially in rural areas. Like in Rajasthan State, a women university situated in rural area, Banasthali University’s effort in the localization process is creditable and may be a kind of learning for NE universities. As India, a linguistically diversified country, the languages being the important vehicles to carry its culture and tradition for posterity and NE states, a hub of local and tribal languages, a proper use of ICTs in developmental process is possible if proper care is given to localization of ICTs. Further, a large number of local languages, especially minority languages in the NE India are at the verge of extinction, and some have already become extinct. In the present ICT environment, enormous prospects are available to make efforts at the universities levels which will not only help in preserving these languages and literature, but also by localization of ICTs to local people will receive proper benefits from ICTs which in turn, being valuable resource, can helpful in Government’s efforts and projects; e-governance, NeGP(India), etc and other development activities of the society . Similar to Banasthali, libraries of NE can initiate some efforts through projects with the help of their parent universities and institutions in ICT localization and preservation of the local languages and literature of the localities /communities.

Abstract: We are living in an information world. This has come because of the unbelievable scientific and technological progress. So much information is being generated that we are confronted with information explosion, information pollution and exponential growth of information. This is causing a concern for the communication, distribution, availability, access and exploitation fronts of information, particularly so in science and technology. Management of information is thus drawing greater attention. Information is recognized as both national and international resource and it should be utilized for the socio-economic, scientific and technological progress of mankind as a whole. Information is the basic need of the human beings. The crucial role that information plays can be gauged from the vast areas of human activities in which it finds application that includes: growth of knowledge and wisdom, decision-making and management, research and development, manufacture and industry, education and training and academic writing. No one can deny the fact that information is a vital input in research, education and training etc more so in the current digital environment.
