Abstract: With the advent of Information Technology and its application in Libraries, concept of document management has been drastically changed to information management and again with the proliferation of information world wide coupled with internet, the entire scenario of information management has started its change to knowledge management, which is a recent origin term. Knowledge Management has become a new research area in comparison to other research areas such as data processing, information management, and network management. The innermost assignment of a library is to accumulate, systematize, preserve, and endow with access to knowledge and information. In fulfilling this gigantic mission, libraries preserve a valuable record of culture that can be passed down to succeeding generations. Libraries are an essential link in this communication between past, present, and future. Whether the cultural record is contained in books or in electronic formats, libraries ensure that the record is preserved, managed and made available for wide range of its usability.

Abstract: Huge amount of data and information is originating in the information era. Library automation can provide some relief, but data mining techniques have to be used for dynamically analyzing the library database and to make strategic decisions for managing the library in an efficient manner. Data mining is the exploration and analysis of large quantities of data in order to discover meaningful patterns and rules. Practical data mining can accomplish a limited set of tasks and only under limited circumstances. For library, it can play an important role by dynamically analyzing library database especially data related to the acquisition and circulation. No single data mining tool and technique is equally applicable. In commercial application, data mining is usually employed on very large database. This paper gives the clear picture of some of the most common association rule data mining techniques which can be applied to the library database and it outcomes.

Abstract: The online revolution brought about by the world wide web accompanied by other advancements in the Information & Communication Technology (ICT) is having a deep impact on the publishing industry. Readers are enjoying the fruits in the form of online journals and databases. Though the development in the area of e-books is not so rapid, yet people have started realizing its potential as an efficient & effective tool for knowledge storage and dissemination. More and more publishers are now coming up with ebook solutions for academic institutions and libraries too have started to develop collection development policies for e-books. The production, dissemination and consumption of e-books will increase substantially when certain issues regarding universal standard and copyright are resolved and we are in a better position to handle the e-books. Libraries will also look forward to more affordable and useful subscription policy for acquiring electronic books. At present there are several formats for e-books, many softwares available for e-book reading. Like Open Access journals, there are many e-books projects which offer free online books for reading and downloading which have been discussed in the present paper. The paper also discusses the commercial e-book publishers and the advantages of ebook subscription for academic libraries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1432 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Emergence of electronic information has changed modes of communication, information demands of users and information management system in the libraries. Innovation in the field of information and communication technology is boosting research and development activities all around the world. Earlier libraries were facing various problems for managing print documents rescued by the electronic resources. The consortia initiatives are mushrooming in the world rapidly. UGC-Infonet: E-Journals Consortium launched by the University Grants Commission (UGC) through Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) Centre is considered one of the best consortium models in the globe. The consortium is subscribing thousands of fulltext electronic journals and databases and making them available online to 120+ universities of the country. A notable usage of electronic resources has been observed in the first three years of operation of the consortium. But millions of articles downloaded by the member universities are not being re-managed for further use. Through this paper an attempt is made to lay emphasis on an urgent need to manage downloaded scholarly e-contents with the help of various e-documents management software (OSS) keeping in mind the copyright limitations.

Abstract: The academic libraries today are reorienting their collections and their collection development policies in the light of e-resources. Not only are the collections changing so are the role of librarians. The dual print and electronic environment are posing a challenge to the librarians. How best to balance the available budget between the two and in the process provide easy access to relevant information to the users without any delay, is the Mantra of Librarianship today. E-journals and e-books are here to stay. In the light of this fact how to provide access, which are the best source, how to index and catalogue them to provide quick access as well as training of the staff for their new role are the various issues that have been discussed in this article. But then each library needs to develop its own model for collection development keeping in mind its users and their specific requirements. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1435 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The direction and pace of development in ICT have led practically all world economies to recognize the improvement of ICT in catalyzing economic activity, in efficient governance, empowerment of society and bringing about major socio-economic transformations in societies. Developing countries like India, have, therefore, made significant investments in these technologies and integrated the same with the development programmes to gainfully realize the fruits of such developments to their society. However, it is realized that this development has created a divide between the ‘have’ and the ‘have-nots’ in the form of a gap between the ‘technology empowered’ and the ‘technology excluded’ communities. It is therefore catching the attention of governments the world over to device programmes to alleviate this divide, called the digital divide. This paper highlights the digital divide scenario in India, various ICT initiatives undertaken and the major challenges and key solutions in bridging the digital divide in the Indian context.

Abstract: Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are simultaneously the cause and the effect in the growth of knowledge. For this reason, they play an important role in Knowledge Management (KM) but do not constitute a panacea and their establishment must be accompanied by determining actions on the part of management. Unlike some choices of implementation solutions, the selection of Knowledge Management( KM) tools cannot make do with a compartmentalized classification according to the functions of the software. It is more a question of relying on a global vision of the organization rather then focusing on software categories that are not always stripped in effects. This vision must be connected to an infrared image, pointing to knowledge flows as well as to obstacles to their diffusion, from which optimization, classical domains, these solutions must be based on organizational, human and sometimes technological actions, build with coherence.

Abstract: This paper presents an objective view of India’s position in the global economy. It recognizes India’s achievements, but sees a tremendous potential that is yet to be achieved. What is needed is an India-led process to coordinate and integrate reforms, combining those in the economic and institutional regime with the many initiatives that are being undertaken in the more functional areas covered in many Indian strategy reports. This can only be done through a domestic process of consultation and stakeholder awareness-raising to get buy-in on the kinds of reforms required to implement the action that can leverage India’s potential.
