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: Providing access to information has always been a function of Libraries and Information Centres (L & ICs). Access to information is crucial for education, science and culture and for fostering democracy in the information society. The principle of ‘free and universal access to information as well as freedom in the creation and dissemination of knowledge’ is a fundamental goal of the L & ICs. Theses and Dissertations (TDs) among all the primary sources are probably least used because firstly, their existence is not known in many cases, and, secondly, they are not easily accessible due to their unpublished status. This paper focuses on access and technology issues concerning ETDs, nature and benefits, methods of developing digital archives, and discusses various file formats and file compression as well as post processing for making digitised files accessible to the end-users.

Abstract: Digital libraries were viewed as systems providing a community of users with coherent access to a large, organized repository of information and knowledge. A given digital library system should provide a coherent, consistent view of as many of these repositories as possible. From the user’s perspective, to the extent possible, there should appear to be a single digital library system. Users increasingly have access to various types of digital collections and information systems: personal information resources, workgroup and organizational information collections and collaboration environments, and more public digital libraries. The digital library system needs to extend smoothly from personal information resources, workgroup and organizational systems, and out to personal views of the content of more public digital libraries.

Abstract: Open source software production is a successful new innovation model which disproves that only private ownership of intellectual property rights fosters innovations. The emergence of Open Source Software (OSS) has gained the attention of research librarians and created new opportunities for libraries to make optimum utilization of the software keeping in view of the benefits not only to the users, but also to the libraries with respect to time, space and accessibility. The paper attempts to discuss the concept of Open Source Software in the modern era by highlighting the relevance of it to the library profession by tracing historical developments of Open Source Software’s. It also elucidates the development of open source operating systems over a period of time and provides briefly the Open Source Software projects available in the Internet era for the professionals of different disciplines.
