Abstract: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has a very vast meaning and it has been dominating each and every aspect of this universe. Due to ICT only whole world has been become a global village and the other side ICT is accelerating information explosion, which leads to the problem of bibliographical control. But there are some tools, which can help us to manage these digital contents in a systematic order for use. The concept of digital library is very much suitable for information management. Here, we have Greenstone and DSpace Open Source Software for content creation, which are being used for maintaining an institutional repository. After content creations, the objective should be accessing these contents globally, for this purpose we need some broadband networks. In India, UGC-Infonet is the example for such kind of country-wide network which is being responsible for improving the higher educational system in the country with state-of-the-art technology. Now contents and infrastructure with strong network are with us, UGC-Infonet: E-Journals Consortium is one of the good examples which show that how we can facilitate the educational system across the country through this kind of ICT system.

Abstract: The ongoing Information Technology(IT) revolution has deeply affected almost all areas of our life and all aspects of humans activity. Libraries, Information and Documentation Centres(LIBIDOCS) are no exception to the impact of Information Technology. The application of IT in different types of libraries in India has gained sufficient momentum. The IT application tools are essential for providing efficient and cost effective library and information services to the user community in the present scenario. Review of literature reveals a number of studies conducted in the application of IT in LIBIDOCS in the recent years. This paper presents one such study which has been carried out by surveying the application of IT among academic LICS in and around Chennai. There are nearly 100 academic institutions at graduate, post graduate and research levels in various disciplines. Libraries of 45 institutions like universities and colleges have been covered in the survey to analyse the nature, extent and types of application of IT based services. It also studies the areas of IT application, collection development policy , manpower development and the attitude of staff towards IT application. Finally, it also analyses the reasons for poor use of IT if any, and concludes objectively that application of IT in university libraries would certainly bring about orderly operations in Library and Information Manager Environment (LIME) without much of human interventions.

Abstract: New technologies have always been of interest for libraries, both for the potential of increasing the quality of service and for improving efficiency of operations. In the era of globalisation and liberalisation and with the advent of hi-technologies, the whale world has been condensed in a very small frame. With enormous knowledge explosion, the need to quench the thirst of information cannot be over emphasized. Barcode made inventory tracking easier, but they have their disadvantages. For starts each barcode has to be read in individually by the reader. If an entire well stocked information Centre needed to be checked in to a computer, it could mean several hours of work. Furthermore, the basic barcode is just a tag with data printed on it, and this data can’t be updated. Except, of course by sticking another barcode over it. Where Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags come in takes asset tracking to the next level, with smart intelligent tags embedded in the package, the information on the tag can be scanned and updated automatically by readers. RFID married with today’s enterprise resource planning solutions, may soon be the next big thing in information management. The technology provides an automated method to collect product or transaction information. The RFID system works using “smart” tags, with inbuilt silicon chips that store data, a reader that scans information from the tags, and the infrastructure to store and analyse the data. This present paper will give you an understanding of how technology can impact on our libraries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1100 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is not a new system but the base of this was established way back in 1940s. The credit goes to commercial or business organizations who have explored and implemented RFID to acquire, manage and provide security to their products or items. Information and Communication Technology has transformed the format of information and work culture of libraries. Still libraries are trying to address various problems like qualitative information management, speedy acquisition and dissemination of information and security of information products. This paper gives brief idea about the RFID, its importance in the library system, how it works and describes different components of the RFID technology. It also briefs about tentative budget to establish RFID technology in the library and finally its future in Indian libraries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/575 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Increased use of software engineering for model analysis, multimedia technology for usability, explicit support for reuse, metrics for project management and an increased use of natural language facilities will allow tomorrows end users to create their own application. The library is the most important resource for students and young engineers who wish to develop professional expertise quickly. This paper proposes two models viz., simulation model for Library Budget and CASE centered library-forecasting model. Models represent reality and simulation imitates it. Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real world process or systems over time. The paper deals about the purpose of simulation, steps in simulation, CASE tools, and CASE centered library model. Forecasting is employed for the projection of these operations and patterns into the future. The CASE centered forecasting model projected in this paper may be used for the development of an application system to show the potential of shared data base applications or as a foundation for a library management reengineering effort.

Abstract: Developing a bibliographical database is not an easy task. While developing it the designer must think about exchange of record, minimum consumption of memory, effective retrieval of the database content, etc. With these concepts in mine, the bibliographical database should be designed and provided mandatory attributes for capturing data. Most of the Information Retrieval Systems are based on keywords of the document and retrieve a list of documents in response to a user’s query. Then the user has to sequentially determine his/her relevant document. A keyword-based retrieval is a simple model that can encounter two major difficulties such as synonymy and polosemy problem. This paper introduces the application of vector based information retrieval technique in bibliographical database for effective retrieval. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1289 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The paper contains the substantial implication of the changing web as “web 2.0” for libraries and recognizes that while these implications keep very close to the history and mission of libraries. It describes the theory and definition to the practices of librarianship, specially addressing how RSS feed (popular tool of Web 2.0 technologies) might make changes in libraries provide access to their collection and user support for accessing the same. RSS aggregator applications installed in a library system, and coupled with the social network of the library, will enable users to have a single, customized personal library page that syndicates all the library content of interest to them and their research, elimination of irrelevant information. It also highlights the Download and installation of RSS reader software along with the activation process. Lastly, it provides the list of resources (both software & services) and libraries using these tools. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1157 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: With the growing amount of information in various domains, retrieval and analysis is the most frequently used operation. Various institutions/organizations generate valuable information in various domains which is queried and analyzed by users for various purposes. Most of the applications performing these tasks are predominantly database driven and tightly coupled with the system. This limits the possibilities of seamless database integration with other sources of knowledge and also their ability to adopt to changes in the information structures. We describe a generic approach comprising a loosely coupled system with an ability to perform complex querying, analysis and seamless integration with other systems, both off line and over Internet.

Abstract: Electronic journals unfold their most valuable features when they are inter-linked with other documents, archives and databases. These electronic journals need an archiving system that is based on a global concept. Archiving ensures “continued access indefinitely into the future of records stored in digital electronic form”. Archiving system has to be flexible to adopt the new technological generation. The rapid pace at which technology becomes obsolete makes archiving an extremely expensive undertaking. The librarians are more concerned about the archiving of the electronic journals themselves, or getting access to the archives established by the publishers or the aggregators. This paper focuses on the issues related to the archiving of electronic journals in Physics and Astronomy by the publishers, aggregators and the consortia.
