Abstract: Knowledge has been the staple source of competitive advantage for many organizations for hundreds of years. During the 1990s, the onset of Internet and Information Superhighway, allowed KM to take off. It provided more opportunities for knowledge sharing and knowledge transfer than there had been in the past. This paper discusses the paradigm shift from agricultural to industrial economy and then to new Knowledge Economy. Provides a conceptual view of Knowledge management and its key drivers- highlights the evolution and the functions of portals- also elucidates different tools and technologies which act as platform to bring people together to share knowledge in the form of expertise, competencies, skills irrespective of time and space constraints. Concludes that the future is for Knowledge Portals that provide flexible knowledge environment for large number of users. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1025 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Knowledge has become the key driving force in the present day. Gone are the days when organizations were reluctant and complacent in sharing of information and knowledge. Today, every organization has understood the importance of knowledge. In the modern digital information and knowledge environment, a well-defined mechanism is needed to organize, store, and access information and knowledge. Knowledge portals are used as tools for implementing a knowledge management methodology. A knowledge portal is highly beneficial to make the collections accessible to user who expects all knowledge to be obtainable with just a few clicks from inside a web browser. This paper has just focussed on the knowledge portals, which is a new revolution in the field of Library and Information Science. The knowledge portal definitely has potential and challenging tasks for the library and information professionals. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1031 Files in this item: 1

For example, information that before was saved on a large amount of paper and physically difficult to steal can today be saved on a disk that can easily remove. In this article author has discussed, what information security is. Why it is needed in an organization of 21 century. The CIA Relationship of information security is discussed with diagram. The information security chain has twelve modules and eighty sub modules. The overview of information security cannot be complete in such small paper; therefore author delimits herself to the most prominent module computer security. In the last future and conclusion of information security are highlighted. Information Security of IIT Kanpur system is also consulted in some of the modules. The paper is of particular value for newcomers in this area. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1011 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The key concepts open access, open source and open standards are playing a great role today when we talk about borderless libraries. Immense benefits and importance to libraries are being examined. Greater benefits include lowering of cost, greater accessibility and better prospects especially for long term preservation of scholarly works. The paper mainly discuses on the importance and utility of the three concepts i.e. open access, open source and open standards in libraries emerging, which has helped to widened the gap in resource sharing, making it accessible in a far better way, limiting the expenses and above all standardizing which helps different systems to share their resources.

Abstract: The early days of the WWW changed retrieval tools in many ways. Retrieving searching and filtering massive uncontrolled database of the Web pages presents new challenges. The role of traditional libraries has been changed by the introduction of Internet access. So the users now have access to more information than before; that they must rely on search engine to retrieve and rank the results of their searching. Thus this paper highlights the customer-based information retrieval through search engine by classifying the need of customer into five categories such as functional, hedonic, innovative, aesthetic and sign needs of customer.
