Abstract: During the past few years, there has been tremendous development reaming the concept of digital libraries-a knowledge base that can be stored and retrieved through on- line networks. Digital libraries are the most complex form of information systems that support digital document preservation, distributed database management, hypertext, filtering, information retrieval and selective dissemination of information. This has really overcome geographical barriers offering wide range of academic, research and cultural resources with multimedia effects which can be accessed around the world over the distributed netwo rks. The paper examines the concept of Digital library, the technology that has enabled its emergence and its architecture. It also highlights the digital library projects undertaken in USA, UK and India. Here the authors explore the unique features of digital library and possible challenges ahead for library and information professionals in the digital environment.

Abstract: The changing world of librarianship has paved to information highway from the traditionally embarked concept of private world. The adaptation of Information Technology (IT) for data readiness, accessibility and decision support excellence has got into the virtual environment of electronic devices in many libraries. The convergence of computer and communication technologies has linked the human minds worldwide and is trying to cut across the physical barriers. This paper points out the gradual shift-over towards digital info high-tech from traditional rudimentary adherence thus giving rise to fears into the librarians to greater extent. The fears are like phobia to computer exposures, stationary skills, regressive attitude, cognitive factors etc. These are the pressing challenges before the professionals of coming generation to enthuse with information highway. The paper also gives suggestions as to how to overcome the fear and develop knowledge based confidence for high tech absorption of Digitization breaking the barriers of distance.

Abstract: Electronic Information is the logical extension of the development in technology and the positive response to the growing need of the users for easy access of information and rights holders can gain better access to large amounts of rights data, and today most use that electronic tool. In order to manage the electronic information some effective tools like, Electronic Information Management (EIM), must be incorporated. In the simplest definition, EIM means using office technology systematically to help you store, retrieve, and safeguard your organization’s information. Most people think immediately of reducing paper, but as we rely more and more on technology to create digital information - software files, digital photographs, and Email, EIM takes on a broader scope. With current technology it’s possible to manage a complete “library” of information with centralized security, backups and control, different levels of retrieval and access, and archival storage. Digital Right Management offers a better way to manage the records you rely on. Whether documents are stored in an original electronic file format or scanned from paper, managing their storage, access and retention becomes easier with technology.

Abstract: Ever since the development of the webpage, the Internet resources have grown at an exponential rate. Growth rate has further increased with the digitization of old documents besides the creation of new digital resources. The Internet empowers every author to create, publish and directly distribute the contents to the end users. Easy and expeditious access to information, convenience of use and advances in technology led to the increasing accessibility of the Internet resources and further accelerated their growth. The Internet can provide comprehensive information in a diversity of subjects for a variety of needs and to various categories of users at any point of time. The major concern now is evaluation and quality filtering of information resources, accessible on the Internet. This paper includes the criteria for evaluation and selection of web resources for libraries and information users.

Singh, Jagtar (INFLIBNET Centre, March NaN, 2001)[more][less]
Abstract: Declining library budgets, growing user expectations, technological innovations, and the globaization of information have forced the library and information (LI) professionals to share their precious resources via networks. As a response to these developments, there is a transition from stand alone libraries to library and information networks, infomediaries to infoliterate end-users, and print-based publications to digital documents. The professional competencies are falling short in managing access to the web-based digital documents. In this context, an effort has been made in this paper to raise a few pertinent issues and discuss the implications of the web-based digital documents for the LI profession.

Vyas, S D (INFLIBNET Centre, March NaN, 2001)[more][less]
Abstract: The data, concerning human development progress as well as use of information technology in our country, shows that we are still far behind other developed nations. Efforts have been made by present government to make India, a knowledge based society in new era. It has set time bound targets to see that India becomes a 'developed nation' in next twenty years. The paper criticises the concept of knowledge worker, as it fails to identify the due role of library and information professionals. Appreciates the efforts of the Planning Commission and A.P.J. Abdul Kalam's India 2020: A Vision of the New Millennium, making an environment in which the people make India a developed nation. It states how our rural people begin to use the tools of information technology in new era. The opening of two Public Information Kiosks (PIKS) by National Institute of Rural Development (NIRD), in Andhra Pradesh is a good beginning to harness new technology by its rural people. The paper discusses the role of library and information professionals, as they are actively engaged in finding practicle solutions to the challenges of digital age. The paper points out Christopher Edwards's view that the role of information professionals in knowledge society is neither fully recognised nor understood. He furthers remarks that the major initiatives of the government have always bypassed the library and information sector. Our professional skills developed over generations are marginalised. The paper deliberates upon the recent development in ICTs at international level. The paper concludes with a caution, that, without emphasizing the role of information professionals as well as of libraries and information centres, our vision of knowledge society shall remain a dream.

Abstract: Technology advances over the past two decades have made data retrieval faster and easier, giving rise to a substantial industry providing access to professional, business and scientific 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, hard to find and difficult to access. Using technology, visionary institutions, associations and individuals build a kind of network resource discovery service, called “Subject Gateways” on the web, which is de-facto network use environment. This subject gateways evolved during the last five years among early digital library projects within the library communities of the various countries. Subject gateways allows libraries and related organizations to explore the usefulness of their subject expertise in the organisation of knowledge in the word of network -based, digital information. This paper gives an overview of the subject gateways, its historical development, definitions, features and lastly the burning issues encompassing it. Also some of the international initiatives related to further research and trend are explored. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/107 Files in this item: 1
