Abstract:
|
The application of ICT in the libraries and education has brought a paradigm shift in the structure of
the library and education system today. The traditional library has now changed to the automated,
digital, electronic, hybrid and at present to the borderless library and the conventional education
too is been replaced by e-learning. The borderless library has a huge collection of information
resources in electronic form which are accessible through the Internet, intranet and extranet. It
reduces the geographical restrictions and makes the process of obtaining education and training
easy at a reduced cost and time enabling a vibrant user even from a remote area to obtain education
and training in his field of specialization or as to the requirement of his profession from the online
institutions and universities available in his own country or outside thus paving a significant way
towards the global information network. |
