Abstract: The impact of information technology has changed the way that information is stored and disseminated and also threatened the traditional approaches to the library and its services. The emergence of Internet,particularly WWW as a new medium of information storage and delivery, represents a revolution, which would have a lasting impact on the publishing and information delivery system in the 21st century. The publication of Electronic journals has further brought significant changes in the global information process and eliminates the importance of the paper journals. This article briefly describes the advantages of both the electronic and print journals and also factors influencing for the movement of Electronic journals.

Abstract: The content of digital libraries includes data and metadata that describe various aspects of the digital record that consist of links or relationships to other data or metadata, whether internal or external to the digital library. Metadata is provided in order to provide richer searching than would be possible using standard free-text indexing. In particular it was desirable to allow users to search on a number of fields including Author, Title and Description. Metadata Expand the use of data incorporated in the digital object or text, and find ways of integrating different kinds of metadata. Metadata has been defined as “data about data”. It is information about an electronic resource which may be embedded in the resource. According to Gilliland-Swetland metadata is more than description; a more deeper conceptualization of metadata is needed as information professionals consider the range of their activities that may end up in included into digital information systems. There are three main types of metadata Descriptive metadata; Structural metadata; Administrative metadata. Traditional library cataloguing is a form of metadata and MARC21 and the rule sets used with it such as AACR2 are metadata standards. Metadata is particularly useful for large collections of documents or other materials, it can be used for managing the resource and for finding specific items. A Catalogue becomes as found by some libraries an essential tool for retrieval. Increasing size and complexity of the digital information available on the web, demands for new methods of its organization. Uniform and structured meta information which can effectively be employed to achieve this goal. “LibSys for library automation” is the prime mission of New Delhi based software company - Info-Tek Consultants Pvt. Ltd. The Libsys metadata facilitates ordering receiving loose issues, recording bound volumes of journals in print medium this can be easily converted to e- Journal recording by changing the item receiving data into e-journal release data. The location metadata in libsys can be easily converted to url.. Bound volumes can give the link to Url The Library of Congress’ Network Development and MARC Standards Office is developing a framework for working with MARC data in a XML environment. This framework is intended to be flexible and extensible to allow users to work with MARC data in ways specific to their needs. CONSER(2) began in the early 1970s as a project to convert manual serial cataloging into machine-readable records. It has evolved into an ongoing program to create and maintain high quality bibliographic records for serials. In keeping with its evolution, the name changed in 1986 from CONSER (CONversion of SERials) Project to the CONSER (Cooperative ONline SERials) Program. Describing electronic access to information is another challenge for the cataloger due to the different areas of the record involved, including the new electronic location and access field (856). 3rd Convention PLANNER -2005, Assam Univ., Silchar, 10-11 Nov., 2005 © , Ahmedabad 167 Metadata as a tool to facilitate exchange of information between interoperating systems and interoperability of metadata schemas themselves which can help to facilitate systems interoperability. There are three different types of interoperability.

Abstract: The primary objective of libraries is to organize and provide access to information to its users. Most common users of a library are scientists, academicians, technical personnel, students. It is important to disseminate the research information arrived /available to the Users in addition to archived data. It is also very important that users must be aware of the various services provided by libraries. Library managers are required to send clear messages to the users that the business of library is to provide required information in the shortest possible time. In this era of information technology, attracting people to library is very difficult. Library Heads and staff should become proactive in providing and propagating the services and facilities available at the Library.Based on the interaction with many users, and analyzing their experiences, it is found that minimization of reaction time in providing the required information to the users is essential. In this paper, services and the initiatives taken by Library known as “Knowledge Centre (KC)” of Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) to bring awareness about the services provided by KC are presented. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is effectively utilized by the Knowledge Centre to achieve the objective of making available information required by Scientists in time to help them to devote more time in project activities rather spending time in searching for information.
