Abstract:
As the supply of information grows more and more comprehensive, the complexity in
handling it also grows. The need for reliable Content Management System (CMS) becomes
more and more obvious. A Content Management System allows content to be stored,
retrieved, edited, updated, controlled, then output in a variety of ways such that the incremental
cost of each update cycle and output production shrinks dramatically over time. Since the
amount of information is emerging day to day at a tremendous speed, to find particular
information in the mist of information explosion is very difficult and so there is an urgent
need for content or knowledge management and services to be adopted in Libraries.
Content management is as set of tasks and processes for managing content explicitly
targeted for publication throughout its life from creation to archive. CMS are essential for
large or even small scale projects which involve the capture of creation of digital assets and
is necessary for the creation of any basic Web sites. This paper explains about the concepts
of content management, its components, needs and advantages. How the contents can be
created, accessed and managed in the digital environment have also been discussed in
this paper.
