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: Libraries, faced with declining budgets, increasing subscription prices have found themselves unable to purchase all publications and materials that their users would generally expect to have. To compensate for this, there is shift to subscribe the journals by other models and methods. Library consortia are one of the most effective means for libraries to subscribe to E-journals. University libraries in India are accessing e-journal under UGC-INFONET E-journal consortium. This facility has also been extended to libraries in North Eastern region. This paper reflects on the growing importance of usage statistics of electronic journals, their increasing use, and in particular universities in North East region It highlights the current usage of various e-resources accessed by the users of different universities located in North East region.

Abstract: The present paper is a joint venture of two authors who worked differently on manuscripts of Manipur and rare Buddhist manuscripts of Arunachal Pradesh, and the problematic of restoration and digitization in modern context. The major objective of the proposed study would be to delineate the modus operandi for the restoration of the rare Buddhist manuscripts in Arunachal Pradesh and rare manuscripts of Manipur, involving such scientific methods as electronic scanning, digitization, etc. However, these scientific methods would be complementary to the time-tested, indigenous and traditional methods of physical preservation in order to make these manuscripts available in its original or the simulated formats for the next generation. The electronic rendition of the calligraphies and art forms would be hosted on the web or it can be preserved in repositories by using D-Space software, so as to facilitate the entire world to comprehend the essence and tenets of manuscripts.

Abstract: The paper highlights the information needs and users’ dependence for information on Community Information Centres (CIC) in Nagaland with emphasis on Medziphema block. It also focuses on the effort needed for imparting computer literacy, information literacy for preparing and powering the underprivileged rural masses through the use of ICTs in such community centres. An attempt is made to reduce the challenges faced by disadvantaged communities such as lack of suitable skill set, language barriers and low literacy in using ICTs and the Internet through a simple, consistent and easy-to-use interface that requires low level competence from users and through accessibility to the use of multiple media (textual, audio, visual).

Abstract: Paper discusses the present scenario of affiliated College Libraries in Meghalaya and found that some of the libraries have computerized their collection. Moreover all the libraries have similar resources as they follow the same syllabi and also subscribe to some important journals. Due to financial constraints most of the libraries’ procurement is limited. This proposal may be considered as a pilot project which could be extended to a greater dimension. It could be a role model which could be implemented initially in the libraries situated in the Capital and extended to other libraries of the State and North-East region as a whole. The proposal follows the same concept as the UGCINFONET e-journals consortium, but intended for affiliated college libraries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1308 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Due to the information revolution, Digital Libraries are developing all over the world to collect, store and communicate the information through electronic media. Compared to the different developed countries, there is slow development of digital libraries in India. This is so because of many social, political and economical factors. These factors include Growing Population, Illiteracy, Low standard of living, less importance to telecommunication facilities, shortage in supply of Energy Sources, lower number of computer and Internet users. To improve the use of Information Technology applications, the Government of India and different state government already initiated certain policies and projects. The paper also discussed the policies and projects of Central and different State Governments to increase the use of Information Technology applications in administration.

Abstract: The vast amounts of information produced in the world are now for a large part digital. The task of managing the ever-increasing digital objects throughout their life cycle and to preserve them in perpetuity becomes more and more complex because of they are fragile, volatile and ephemeral in nature. Their viability depends on technologies that are rapidly and contiouusly changing. Furthermore, as newer digital technologies rapidly appear and older ones are discontinued, information that relies on obsolete technologies soon becomes inaccessible. This paper addresses the present scenario, framework, formats, planning and the systems and projects developed all over world for preservation, the metadata used to manage them. It also discusses the practical considerations necessary to create a digital archive. This article would help Library & Information Professionals (LIP) to navigate this complex new field.

Abstract: Digital preservation is not a new concept for libraries. The libraries have been migrating and refreshing their OPAC records as well as their databases developed in-house ever since automation in libraries started in mid 1980s. With availability of products and services in digital forms, libraries are committing larger portions of their budgetary allocation for either procuring or accessing digital contents. Preservation and archiving of digital contents has become a serious concern of libraries for collection either acquired through subscription, purchased in digital media or converted in-house. The article deliberates upon need, relevance and major challenges of digital preservation. It enumerates on dimensions and manifestation of digital preservation and describes traditional preservation tenets as applicable to the digital preservation. The article describes various digital preservation strategies with a caution that appropriate strategies may be adopted depending upon data types, situations, or institutions. The article touches upon digital preservation metadata as a subset of metadata that describes attributes of digital resources essential for its long-term accessibility and describes OAIS Reference Model as well as other major preservation metadata initiatives taken up by the OCLC and ARL. Considering the fact that short life of storage media, is one of the major crucial threat to digital preservation, the article briefly describes storage management as applicable to digital preservation repositories. Lastly, the article touches upon microfilming and digitization as hybrid solution for reliable preservation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1187 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: More and more information is being created in digital form. This is done either through converting existing materials to digital form or increasingly born digital. There is no other format but digitise the original. There are increasing expectations in all spheres of life the information we all need will be available on the Internet or at least in an off-line digital format, such as CD-ROM. Digital access has many advantages over paper-based or microform access in terms of convenience and functionality. The present paper deals with the concept of preservation and digital preservation. Difference between digital and paper-based material are discussed. The paper highlights the objective and benefits of digital preservation. Preservation by document type like electronic journals, theses and dissertation, scientific data sets etc. and standard by document type like Text, images, numeric data, and video and audio are briefly discussed. The paper throws light on the problem and solution of digital preservation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1213 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Manuscripts provide rich, authentic information, facts and evidence for historical, legal and research references. Physical condition of the manuscripts may be decayed due to factors such as climate, insects, acidified paper and old age. A core function of libraries is to maintain and preserve the decaying/ damaged manuscripts for the present as well as use of the future generation. The most significant development in the recent times is to digitize the fragile and rare documents for better access, storage, preservation and dissemination. Digitization is an important aspect of developing digital libraries as it opens up new avenues of access, use, research and preservation of valued information resources. This paper deals with the key issues of digitization at the Gandhi Smriti Library of LBSNAA, which have started digitizing its rare collection with the aim of providing the cost-effective technical solutions for efficient development and delivery of digital services to provide enhanced access to the Library’s collections and other documentary resources, and also to provide shared access to digital collections in cooperation with other institutions. Further, it strives to provide the infrastructure for long-term management of digital material in the Library’s collection through provision of hardware and software systems supporting integrated collection management in a digital environment.
