Abstract: Journals are an important source of information to a research community. But the problems associated with information explosion and escalating cost of journals have made it difficult to effectively access the information contained in journals, even for a narrow subject area. Application of information technology, like availability of on-line journals and e-mail based table of contents services, has eased the problem to some extent. One such service is the Electronic Table of Contents (ETOC) service provided by National Centre for Science Information (NCSI) to the research community at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). This service is based on the Current Contents obtained from Institute of Scientific Information (ISI). This work aims to add value to the ETOC service by including information about the availability or non-availability of a journal in the JRD Tata Memorial Library in the institute in the ETOC service.

Abstract: The enormous growth of the web, starting from zero to everything in the last decade, has forced us to believe in the impossible again. It might be the long-heralded great library of all knowledge really being within our grip? Today we need a building about the size of a small-town library to house 50 petabytes. With the advancement of tomorrow’s technology, it will fit into our iPod or may be some new device, which can store large amount of data. When that happens, the library of all libraries will ride in our purse or every individual’s pocket. If it doesn’t plug directly into our brain with thin white cords… Converting inked letters into electronic dots that can be read on a screen is simply the first essential step in creating this new library. The real magic will come in the second act, as each word in each book is cross-linked, clustered, cited, extracted, indexed, analyzed, annotated, remixed, reassembled and woven deeper into the culture than ever before. In the new world of books, every bit informs another; every page reads all the other pages… This paper mainly discusses about the long tail as an emerging technology for libraries in the network environme URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1282 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper deal with the various aspects related to digitization. The digital library is the widely accepted term discribing the use of digital technologies to acquire, store, preserve and provide access to information and material originally published in digitized from the existing print, audio-visual and other forms. The authors are discussing their plan to digitize rare and out of print books published before 1900 and available in over 100+ libraries in Gujarat and to digitize grey literature of research value published by above 1500 big and small R and D institutions and NGOs in Gujarat in all subject areas.

Abstract: List and discuses the online general purpose encyclopedia that are available on public domain. All these encyclopedias are used in designing a Google Custom Search Engine via Google Co-Op, so that user can search in a single point and all relevant results can be displayed on that platform by searching all the encyclopedias individually. By this way it hopes to manage the entire online encyclopedias that are available on public domain. This custom search engine can be linked with other institutional website / blog / wiki etc for answering some basic reference question or finding background information on any topic URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/577 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The unique knowledge base for the profession of pharmacy is the body of drug information that the pharmacists use to define, monitor and modify the drug therapy of the patients that he or she serves. Digital resources offer such possibility and possess advantages over traditional sources with respect to access of information. One of the greatest benefit of digital resources is that, users can access the resources themselves. The focus of this paper is on the management of digital resources. Response to specific questions relating to pharmaceutical practices, the growth of pharmaceutical information and the use of Information Technology for managing digital sources are some of the facets dealt in detail. Pharmaceutical Digital Resources in the form of CD-ROMs and Web sites and their contents are detailed for information and use. Finally, an emphasis has been made for acquiring and familiarising Information Technology related techniques for effective use of pharmaceutical information.

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.

Abstract: Libraries are moving rapidly towards the electronic method of storage and retrieval. Electronic journals are being added to the Library collections at exponential rates. Today ejournals offer flexibility and recent developments have enhanced the visibility of these by integrating all journal titles in any format. Individual libraries today are facing issues to make these e-journals accessible to users and consortia based subscriptions to e-journals has developed as a viable solution for increased access, with some cost savings. This calls for handling and management of e-journal subscriptions. This paper outlines some of the processes of handling and managing e-journals in individual libraries as well as Consortium.

Abstract: Change is inevitable. But to say in the race, you need to know/acquire the skills to master/manage the change. For a successful tomorrow, we have to think about the future today. Because of technological advances, the pace of change. will accelerate astronomically. Regardless of age and technical expertise Library Information Science Professionals must tune themselves to the latest technologies. The technology available today can cause far more opportunities and change what you have experienced. In such a dynamic information technology field the Library Information Science Professionals should gear-up themselves to meet the new but interesting challenges. In this article we try to discuss the role of the funding bodies, parent organization, libraries, library information science professionals and the user communities in the context of rapidly changing Information Technology.

Abstract: With the continuous downpour of e-content and web content in today’s highly demanding world, it has become inevitable to design and choose an appropriate yet exhaustive e-content management system that would allow us to effectively create our own e-content which is viable and sustainable. For this purpose, an attempt is made to enumerate the most important features that one must look for in an e-content management system. Also, several issues of digitisation have been discussed that one often comes across while converting their documents into e-content. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1091 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Managing the digital contents is a generic problem. Digital contents can include anything from business logic (rules, procedures, standards, specifications,communications etc.) and business transactions to digital books, video and images (digital library) gathered for the purposes of reading, viewing, listening, study and reference. Thus digital library can be called a subset of digital contents. The complexity of managing them is directly proportional to the volume, location and type of contents. Storage technology is advancing and access technology is undergoing changes in terms of hardware and software. The technical challenges in managing and servicing a digital library, have been presented here. Numerous examples have also been given to elaborate the ideas.
