Abstract:
This paper advocates a strategy to select PG level thesis materials based on their intellectual
value, and to define technical requirements for retrospective conversion to digital form
based on their informational content. Defining the conversion requirements the document
attributes may be the guarantee of building digital collections with sufficient richness to be
useful for the long-term. There are factors that are compelling towards conversion of digitized
form.

and disseminate the information in digital format. This paper explains that how the digitization
can help in providing accurate information timely and save time of users and space for data
storage, i.e. the data and information specially required by the scientists and research
scholars.

Abstract:
Many observers have praised the Internet for its omnipresent nature and argued that this
global medium is revolutionizing the nature of modern communications. The rise of the
internet, is challenging the telecom infrastructure, management and accessibility in India.
Telecom in developing countries faces a distinct challenge as compared to developed
countries. As the Internet continues to grow, questions of accessibility and infrastructure
equity persist. This paper provides an overview of the developments in telecommunications
and networking in India.
Rapid advances in information processing, storage and communication technologies
have revolutionized a role of worldwide libraries in disseminating information services to
their users. Libraries are consolidating their positions, building digital collections, redesigning
their services and information products to add value to their services in order to satisfy
changing information needs of users. In this research paper the author covers the profile of
Sri Padmavathi Mahila Visvavidyalayam, objectives of the study, use of electronic resources
by the faculty, research scholars and students, suggestions and findings. Further, studies
and research are suggested in application and implications of e-classrooms, e-teaching
and e-learning should be the source of knowledge in future.

Abstract:
The idea of E- Theses and Dissertations (ETD) is coming up in International scenario,
which can be easily located, readily accessible and delivered over the web. This paper
analyzing the opinions of selected Ph D Researchers and Guides from selected Indian
Universities on Copyright and IPR issues related to ETDs. On the basis of the output, the
paper suggests that Universities can start collecting e-format of theses, creating a digital
archive for easy access. But in terms of access, still only a minimum majority is favoring
online global access to Indian research. This may be because of Copy Right Issues,
Chances of Plagiarism and Poor Quality in Research, which may be solved through policy
frameworks and enhancing standards through national agencies like UGC at national
level.
