Abstract: Information technology is a boon of present century. It is a combination of several technologies and systems, such as computer technology, telecommunication technology, micro-graphic technology and information retrieval technology. Application of IT is imperative for sustainable development in all spheres of human activities. IT, as a tool for harnessing information, should be introduced specially in libraries of higher learning institutes with long term vision and prospective planning at a time when the country has entered the new millennium. The challenges of 21 st century such as globalization, privatization and liberalization should not be neglected by higher education system. Hence the application of IT in higher education should consider these aspects. This paper discusses the librarian's computer awareness and application of IT in college libraries of Yavatmal district (Maharashtra). The author conducted a questionnaire survey of college libraries to find out the proportion of librarian's computer awareness and use of IT application in college libraries of Yavatmal district. The finding of this study was that out of 34 respondents 18 librarians were computer literate and aware of Information Technology. Only 8 colleges have computers in the libraries and 6 college libraries are automated. The results of this study suggest that UGC should provide financial help for the automation of college libraries of higher education and the librarians must get ready by keeping abreast of latest Information Technology in order to face the new challenge in information field.

Abstract: The article presents a brief overview of Open Acess, IRs and Librarians role. Universities and other institutions can have complex motives for establishing IRs; providing free access to all IR materials is often one of them. Open access initiatives may focus on technical support costs of IRs, while librarians may also be concerned with various other problems such as staff and user training and support, IR advocacy and promotion, metadata creation and maintenance, and long-term digital preservation etc. Consequently, we can see IRs as cheap to support and quick to implement, while as librarians we can take a more cautious approach that takes in to consideration other constraints and the library maxim that it is easier to establish a new service than to stop offering one. IRs are best seen as an enabling technology for open access and as their best hope for establishing permanent repositories. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1160 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This article introduces Web 1.0 and its transformation into Web 2.0. It describes impact of Web 2.0 on Library 2.0. It compares Library 1.0 with Library 2.0. It suggests that recent thinking describing the changing Web as “Web 2.0” will have substantial implications for libraries, and recognizes that while these implications are kept very close to the history and mission of libraries, they still necessitate a new paradigm for librarianship. The paper points out different characteristics of Library 2.0. It states related technologies towards implementation of Library 2.0 services. It indicates principles Web 2.0 to the practice of librarianship, especially addressing how Web 2.0 technologies such as synchronous messaging and streaming media, blogs, wikis, social networks, tagging, RSS feeds, and mashups might intimate changes in library service URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/986 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The concept of Library 2.0 is borrowed from that of Web 2.0 and Business 2.0 and follows some of the same underlying philosophies. Library 2.0 encompasses a range of new and contemporary technological tools and techniques that are used for evolving collaborative environment required for Library 2.0. These tools and techniques can broadly be grouped into five categories, i.e. i) Synchronous Communication: Instant messaging; ii) Content Delivery: RSS Feed, HTML Feed, Streaming Media, Podcasting, Vodcasting and SMS Enquiry Services; iii) Collaborative Publishing Tools: Blogs and Wikis; iv) Collaborative Service Platforms: Social Networks, Tagging, Social Bookmarking Services; and v) Hybrid Applications, Programs and Programming Tools: Mashups, AJAX, API and Toolbar. These tools and techniques are useful for libraries in providing new services and making existing services available in new and interesting ways. Implementation of some of these tools and techniques are likely to improve reputation and standing of libraries in the community. Some of them may successfully attract new patrons to the library, others may help to retain existing members or make libraries even more important as centres of the culture and history of their cities and academic institutions. Some of the new services may remain unused, however, since feedback and public opinion is a vital component of Library 2.0, such services may be abandoned in favour of other services that are better accepted by the users. Some of those changes may be viewed as disruptive, while others may not be feasible or applicable to all libraries. These new services and ongoing changes are likely to make libraries more interesting, more relevant, and better acceptable place.Library 2.0 proposes to bring revolutionary changes in libraries that are bound to bring about conceptual, cultural and physical changes in libraries to keep pace with the changes in communities and their information seeking behaviour. Applications of Web 2.0 technologies in libraries will result in a meaningful and substantive change in libraries, its collection, services and methods of delivery of services. The library’s collection will change, becoming more interactive and fully accessible. The library’s services will change, focusing more on the facilitation of information transfer and information literacy rather than providing controlled access to it. The implications of these revolutionary technologies are enormous and are discussed in the paper. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1460 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Information technology has been one of the major factors causing changes in the way people communicate, locate, retrieve, and use information. The impact of automation on the library is quite obvious and has created new types of work, prompted redefinition of certain functions, influenced interpersonal relationships, and transformed traditional organizational structures into new institutional entities. Libraries today are faced with planning for automation within a rapidly changing and uncertain technological environment. Resource sharing under the circumstances plays a pivotal role. The paper addresses the various issues viz. establishment INFLIBNET and its role in automation of university libraries in India. The new initiative taken by the UGC to establish UGC-Infonet and E-subscription for the Universities gives required boost for the automation activity in the country.
