Abstract: Knowledge Management can be thought of as the process of collecting, organizing, classifying and disseminating information throughout an organization, so as to make it purposeful to those who need it. Knowledge Management refers to policies, procedures and technologies user for operating a continuously updated linked pair of networked databases. M concerns organizing and analyzing information in a institutions computer databases.This knowledge can be readily shared throught a institution ,instead of languishing in the department where it was created inaccessible to other readers.It involves identification of categories of knowledge needed to support the overall institutions strategy, assessment of current state of the firms knowledge and transformation of the current knowledge base into a new and more powerful knowledge base by filling knowledge gaps. Knowledge management combines indexing , searching, and push technology to help institutions organize data stored in multiple sources and deliver only relevant information to users.

Abstract: With the growing acceptance of web portals on university campuses, many librarians are considering building library portals to make their collections accessible to users who expect all knowledge to be obtainable with just a few clicks from inside a web browser. After all, the World Wide Web has become the marketplace for documents, goods, services, and ideas. For many people, especially students, if something is not on the web, it does not exist. This trend is especially challenging for libraries, which are the traditional keepers of knowledge but whose knowledge is largely kept in many millions of books and journalsnot on the web. The idea of a library portal is misdirected. While it is vital that libraries have a presence on university enterprise portals, libraries should build portal pages, portal channels, and portal cameos rather than entire library portals.

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.

Abstract: Digital conversion of Library materials has advanced rapidly in past few years. Digitization is one of the hot topics in librarianship today. To build a “Digital Library” requires that the content of a collection be available electronically. The rhetoric of the information highway has provided the impetus to convert many existing paper-based (or sound and video) collections into new digital media. Digitization of all categories of materials is now possible with the advances in digital technology. The assumption is that digital collections will be more accessible to a broader range of users, presumable through networking technologies, and that there are new efficiencies to be gained in resource-sharing and for preservation. The topic discuss the concept of Digital library, Component, Technology, Functions and Supporting Format of Digital Library. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1395 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The development and dissemination of information in various forms and media on a local, national and international level has envisaged the librarians to be advocative in all means of information service provided from their libraries. Higher education is experiencing a dramatic influx with a new generation of faculty with different sources of information. This article deals with the definition of risk management and identification of the various areas of risks in library environment. The applications of risk management in libraries start from the collection development, through publishers / vendors for different types of documents. The different types of risk include: Assessing the organization Collection management Access rights by the users Scholarly communication Risks associated with the migration Consortia Staff training and recruitment Preservation Use of technology by the students, faculty and library staff. The strategies for managing the risks are explained for the following: By having discussions, group meetings, etc, the information requirements of users, faculty and students can be found; Communicating with other agencies like library schools, professional associations for finding out the latest syllabus, in order to develop the content accordingly. Detailed discussion with publishers / vendors for collection management covering all aspects of the future needs /demands / changes; For collecting the resources from external sources, resource sharing and access to the databases along with Internet; Consortium approach for collection development, content management, information services and preservation; Hiring staff with competitive skills and also develop skills for the existing staff, by providing in-house training; and Preservation aspect could be resolved by consortia approach by discussing the formats, storage medium, software availability, upgradation of hardware, etc. The author concluded that the library professionals should take all precautions of risk management and provides risk free managerial services to the users on time.

Abstract: Libraries play a very important role in this fast changing e-environment of publishing. Their role includes identification of selection of information, its organization of management, storage retrieval and dissemination to right users at the right time at right place at right price and in right format. The goal of any academic libraries is to meet the teaching, research and other information needs of the user. The proliferation of the literature on all the subjects, price of journals hike in currency conversion rate and the budget crunch made the libraries depend upon each other. This leads to library co-operation, resource sharing and networks etc. At present the online databases, E-journals facilitate formation of the consortia at resource sharing among the libraries. Consortia prove to be one of the major solutions to the existing problems of budget crunches among the libraries and information centers. The advent of E-publishing has brought a revolution in journal publication, subscription and access delivery mechanism. The paper discuses the necessisity increasing the information resources in electronic form to meet the current demand of academic libraries and institutions at affordable cost and also discuses need and importance of E-journal consortium and resource sharing among libraries and information centers.

Abstract: Libraries or Information Centres are the hubs in which knowledge is a major resource and the performances of these knowledge in terms of adding and delivering value to their users depend upon their ability and effectiveness in generating , organizing, manging, and using this knowledge. As knowledge is continuously changing, it is necessary to dedicate and maintain a group of people to continuously update and maintain the knowledge repositories as well as validate the knowledge in the repositories. The system for managing this knowledge is known as Knowledge Management System and the person who manages this knowledge is better known as Knowledge Manager. The paper tries to describe briefly knowledge management ,tools of knowledge management and thereafter illustrates the essential characteristics required in the Knowledge Manager.
