Abstract: vascoda (www.vascoda.de) is a new portal for scientific information – it is the nucleus of the German digital library. vascoda is a central access point for interdisciplinary searches ranging from humanities and social sciences to medical studies, engineering, and more. Access to all types of documents is made possible: born-digital as well as digitised and print materials can be obtained either free of charge or through pay-per-view options. The service already includes full-texts, link-collections, databases, subject-specific search engines and more. More than forty German institutions – mostly libraries and other information specialists are working together to offer users an actual one-stop-shop for all scientific information. The first release of vascoda was realized through the co-operation of the network of subjectbased Virtual Libraries sponsored by the DFG (German Research Society) as well as the Information Alliance and the Electronic Journals Library sponsored by the BMBF (Federal Ministry for Education and Research). Together, these institutions make it possible to combine the search for information and the access to full-text documents. Some of the journal articles and other documents can be accessed free of charge from anywhere in the world, the licence information for Germany is provided by the Electronic Journals Library and other partners. In this paper, the services of vascoda and examples of how to find quality information for different fields of study will be presented. In spring 2005, a number of new services will be provided. This paper will also look into some of the future developments of vascoda. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1538 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Today on line education using computer-mediated communication to connect the learners and the instructors via the Internet (asynchronous learning networks) is more effective. Online queries are more in use than the traditional class tests. Tutorials conucted in traditional ways are all replaced by audio-visual conferences, e-mail, chat, listservers, news groups, simulations and guest chat on the Internet. Thus new learning modes and media is being initiated for enhancement of quality. The present paper discusses about the concept of digital library and building up of digital resources collection for effective E-Learning programmes. The importance of digitized grey literature collection to enhance the quality of e-learning programmes is highlighted. The digital exposition is a remedial answer by the little screen but extensive knowledge becomes positive and possible through a resourceful digital database.

Abstract: In present scenario publishers of freely available electronic journals have the potential for positively transforming the highly problematic economics of scholarly publishing. But actual use of electronic scholarly publications shows that they present serious utilization barriers to would-be readers. Practical awareness, indexing, and archiving in this new literature can overcome these barriers and is essential if such promising publications are to transform scholarly communication. DLIST (Digital Library for Information Science and Technology) can meet these needs by integrating electronic publications into existing information systems. Thus disintermediation of the scholarly publishing process will help the clientele of the low budget library in all respects. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1521 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This study attempted to investigate students’ perceptions toward the use of the digital library for higher learning. Attention was given to three variables namely sex, year of study, level of course. A Likert – type instrument consisting of 10 items was designed to collect information about students perceptions. The respondents of this study were 72 students enrolled in various Post-graduate courses at Bishop Heber College, Tiruchirappalli. Collected data were analysed using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). The overall results suggest that students had positive perceptions toward the use of digital library. Sex, year and level of course were found to be significant factors. Females, first year students and social science students had significantly positive perceptions. Implications for practices are discussed and recommendations are made for future research.

Abstract: Web based resources have become increasingly important to the Academic community where the thrust is on on-going Research, Time bound projects and Consultancy. With information being added at a tremendous rate on the Net it becomes difficult to find the required information easily. The expectations from the users are its services. From the library and the librarian’s point of view the services should reflect the users quest for information. Services are the strength of any Library as they are no longer mere store houses. Reference service is one service that still retains its content, glory and importance. Reference service concerns with the internal and external resources through the Internet and other networks. These services are provided not only personally but also through electronic means. Most users go for a Google search still thinking how could the search strategy be better. Most times the answers lie in their Libraries without them knowing. A module E-Ref Desk on the lines of Ask a Librarian is designed to answer such queries.
