Abstract: Open source software (OSS) is popular with technically sophisticated users, who are often also the software developers, and has not yet made a significant impact on the desktop of most users. OSS has much potential for libraries and information centres, and there are a number of projects, including Greenstone, DSpace and Ganesha, etc that demonstrates its viability in this context. OSS is becoming an increasingly popular software development method. This paper highlights what is an OSS, its features, software licensing, advantages and disadvantages. The paper also highlights the features, functions and use of three popular digital libraries software viz. Greenstone, DSpace and Ganesha. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1573 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The digital library presents an opportunity for the traditional library and the librarian. Libraries and librarians have significant expertise to offer the creators of digital libraries, for example, skills in organising information.Traditional libraries will not be replaced by digital libraries, certainly not in the near future, and probably never. The reality will be hybrid libraries, with librarians needing to be able to operate in two environments: the first, physical libraries and physical collections; and the second, digital information resources. The goal will be to satisfy the information needs of the user community, regardless of whether the information needed is available in digital form or physical formats.

Abstract: Our information and knowledge environment has been and continues to be changed by the development of the Internet and ubiquitous communication technologies. Information and knowledge are replacing capital and energy as the primary wealth-creating assets, just as the latter two replaced land and labor many years ago. In addition, technological developments in the 20th century have transformed the majority of wealth-creating work from physically-based to “knowledge-based.” Technology and knowledge are now the key factors in development of economy of the country. With increased mobility of information and the global work force, knowledge and expertise can be transported instantaneously around the world. We are now an information society in a knowledge economy where knowledge management is essential. The paper presents an overview of the role of digital libraries in the knowledge economy, its prospects and issues. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1534 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Building of Digital Library largely depends on the nature of content and quality of digital resources. The digital library resources include electronic journals, electronic books, fulltext CD-ROM databases, etc. In research and academic institutions, theses, dissertations and research reports play a vital role as primary sources of information since they contain information of research value. Therefore, most of the research scholars refer to these documents regularly. To ensure easy and wider access to these documents, a digital library of theses and dissertations has been established in Tamilnadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University and connected with the Intranet of the university. The digital library provides access to the constituent units of the university including remote colleges. This paper discusses in brief about the establishment of the digital library of theses and dissertations. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1563 Files in this item: 1

Chopra, H S (INFLIBNET Centre, February 2, 2005)[more][less]
Abstract: The potentialities of information technology, together with economic concerns, have been forcing various organizations to go for digitization. This has also happened to libraries, whose primary value lies not only in their collections but also in their contribution to education through providing information service, facilities for e-learning and management of collected information, which they make easily usable and accessible to users. The design and development of web-based educational systems for people is happening in India also. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1560 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Describes the pivotal role being played by the Central Library, the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in supporting its march towards its vision. The library has applied knowledge management practices in organizing and providing the seamless access to the knowledge resources to help users, and in doing so has acquired core competencies in several areas. Discusses the critical factors for success of knowledge management in the library, viz., knowledge resources, knowledge (dissemination) services, human resources, sustained strategic commitment, and technology. The library portal has been described as the most popular form of the technology that provides networked information about library’s collections, digital resources, web sites, and services. Explains in detail the salient features of the library portal of IIT Bombay to provide single window shopping for users. Underlines the need for an aggregator to facilitate broadcast searching across databases and search engines. Concludes that the knowledge management technologies have helped the Central Library, IIT Bombay to systematically synchronize all the critical components and to serve its users more effectively and efficiently, and thus to contribute to organizational goals.

Abstract: Libraries, archives, and museums play a critical role in organizing, preserving, and providing access to the cultural and historical resources of society. Digital technologies are used increasingly for information production, distribution, and storage. The institutions that have traditionally assumed responsibility for preserving information face technical, organizational, resource, and legal challenges in taking on the preservation of digital holdings. Maintenance will be critical to digital libraries; especially those who promote broad access to diverse, informal materials. If ignored, maintenance issues within the digital library, especially those relating to its materials will threaten its usefulness and even its long-term viability. We perceive the maintenance problem to be both technical and institutional, and this paper considers the preservation and maintenance of the digital library. The paper examines collection maintenance from several vantage points, including software architecture and the type of collection. The paper ends with an examination of potential technical solutions.

Abstract: Today the concept of e-learning or online learning is getting emphasis in many organizations like academic, research, corporate or government. But method of implementation of elearning is still a question. Many organizations have developed separate IT based systems for e-learning which are independent and costly as well. While others have preferred to develop e-learning modules integrated to their other IT technology based systems like KM System (Knowledge Management), Content Management System (CMS), or digital library. Digital Library provides a very well framed and compatible base for e-learning module. This article deals with various aspects of e-learning, strategies for e-learning implementation, role of digital libraries in developing e-learning, and few cases where digital libraries are successfully used in e-learning.

Abstract: The present practice of Ayurveda emphasizes on traditional way. The globalisation, patent, intellectual property rights issues and biopiracy are becoming major challenges in the indigenous traditional medical system like Ayurveda. So there is going to be crises and challenges in the Ayurveda system. In order to promote as a global medicine and equip Ayurveda to meet the global healthcare needs of the 21st century, there is an urgent need to modernise the ancient system in pace with the development of science and technology. So considering all these facts, Ayurveda is needed to restructure in the global context to meet the rising demands of a cyber society with the application of information and communication technology.
