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: Portals are becoming the primary interface through which students, faculty, administrators and alumni interact with educational institutes. As a result, portals are rapidly becoming the most empowering strategic information system framework for institutional Information Technology (IT) solutions. Portals have become the most effective delivery mechanism for information creation, sharing and knowledge management strategy. The portal transforms the user’s access method from desktop to a secure “WebTop,” offering intelligent, integrated, and personalized access to enterprise services from anywhere, anytime. While humble in itself, the portal has the power and potential to transform institutions and make a significant contribution towards success. The goal of this paper is to assist in understanding or high lighting various aims, objectives, benefits, the role of Knowledge Management & Information Services (Library) as well as how it can be developed and implemented successfully for various other educational institutions by looking at the NID K-Portal model and architecture.

Abstract: The explosion of information on the Internet and information technology in general has created challenges for libraries to focus on developing more effective ways to meet the information needs of users. One practical approach is through customized portals performing simultaneous database searching. This paper presents a new library portal service used at the Indian Statistical Institute Library at Bangalore (ISIB). The key feature of a library portal is to allow searching across multiple databases without having repeat search. This feature is generally referred to as meta-search, parallel search, broadcast search or federated search. Discussion also includes strategies of local customization and the impact on library management in an electronic environment. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1558 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: There is an enormous range of available information in the world. In electronic environment many libraries have created a presence on the Web, but have we really thought about why we want to be there? Should library Web sites be grounded in the past or look forward to the future, or both? This paper has tried to focus on various issues related to the object and importance of the library homepage, how to create, what is requirement etc for library homepage. The role of the library is to select, acquire, organize and make available an appropriate subset of this information. Proving electronic information to its users has become a common feature of many special libraries through their homepages. A case study of IUCAA library’s homepage is presented. It discusses how IUCAA Library has taken challenges of the new emerging technologies and increasing demands of its users by adopting electronic information sources and services and how it generates value added electronic information for its users. This paper also describes the important electronic sources in astronomy & astrophysics, which is used in IUCAA library. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1545 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Libraries have been undergoing tremendous developments in this era, adapting to the advent of information technology in the day to day working. Electronic, Digital Libraries have arrived. OPAC, CDROM databases, Electronic journals and Internet access exist in most Libraries. Libraries are no longer storehouses but are becoming gateways of relevant information. Some progress has been made towards increasing the relevancy of the data with the induction of various search engines and subject directories. Despite these activities, information sources remain scattered, hared to find and difficult to access. With the Internet, WWW and Information explosion, identification and extraction of information resources is an essential function of all libraries and information centers. The Electronic information sources are rapidly growing and with a wide variety in form and content it takes a lot of time to get the required information. Using technology the institutions, associations and individuals build a kind if network resource discovery service, called “Subject Gateways” on the web, which is de-facto network use environment. These subject gateways evolved during the last five years among early digital library projects within the library communities of the various countries. Subject gateways allow libraries and related organizations to explore the usefulness of their subject expertise in the organization of knowledge in the word of networkbased, Digital information. This paper gives an overview of the subject gateways, its definitions, feature and lastly some useful subject gateways and their services. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1551 Files in this item: 1
