Abstract: This article explores the phenomenon of Knowledge Management System from the viewpoint of a management of academic libraries with a professional background as a librarian. My perspective is a critical and informed one-laced with a healthy dose of system. In the early to mid 1990’s I struggled with defining the field of information management, of identifying the differences amongst data, information and knowledge, and the implications of these differences for professional education. .The knowledge management system is a new concept that has appeared worldwide in recent years. As a sub discipline of the knowledge economy, knowledge management is a completely new concept and method of management. It works for converting intellectual assets of workers and staff members in the organisation into higher productive forces – competition power and new value.

Abstract: Welcome to the 21st century and the knowledge society. The business landscape is changing rapidly. The competitive environment is no longer linear or predictable. Survival and success depend entirely on the organization’s ability to adjust to the dynamics of business environment. Changes in Information Technology (IT) have generated gaps in access and control of information and knowledge. Even when these gaps are bridged, several fundamentals challenges remain. How do we apply KM for value-added and competitive advantage? How do we convert data into information and knowledge? How do we use technology to convert challenges into opportunities? Knowledge management is the solution for realigning the institution’s technical capabilities to create the knowledge that drives the institution forward. This paper provides a conceptual view of knowledge management, its types and the transformation from data to information and to knowledge-Elucidates the role of knowledge management in libraries-discusses how the emergence of e learning has enabled knowledge management practices to be measured and evaluated in accordance with learning objectives.

Abstract: The importance of Information and Communication Technologies in distance learning has been acknowledged as an essential component of strengthening LIS education in the remote areas of the north eastern states of India. (Rath). The same could be said of the use of ICT for LIS education in remote areas of Australia and in America. The infrastructure of physical, human and financial resources all attract students to the profession. This reflective essay discusses Robert Stueart’s 1999 challenge to information access in Asia: “One of the most important activities is information society is to maintain a cadre of qualified information professionals”. (Stueart, 1999). Maintaining a cadre of information professionals is also an appropriate challenge to India. Information professionals themselves are the channel of globalization of education because they see the need for standards in computerisation initiatives and promote communities of practice worldwide.

Abstract: The digital library is the widely accepted term describing the use of digital technologies to acquire, store, preserve and provide access to information and material originally published in digital form or digitised from existing print, audio-visual and other forms. Today most institutions are providers of technology-based services and are often involved in the production of systems supporting their initiatives. When aiming to satisfy user needs and guarantee acceptable tools and environment for consuming the assets of institutions, it is necessary to be familiar with the main standards and guidelines regulating usability. In this paper the authors highlighted the methods, forms, and issues of digital library usability. Usability should not be confused with ‘functionality’, however, as this is purely concerned with the functions and features of the product and has no bearing on whether users are able to use them or not. Increased functionality does not mean improved usability. Comparable to any other system, a digital library must possess usability properties so it can be usable by the digital library’s users. Digital library usability properties can influence usability attributes and allow users to easily and effectively accomplish digital library tasks.

Abstract: Newspaper has been considered as an important source of information. The generation of current varieties of information in large quantity makes it distinct from the information media. A large number of newspapers published throughout the world with mountain of information create severe problem for the information professionals regarding the storage and retrieval of such information. Considering the specialties and importance of newspaper as information media, the issue is of special concern for the information professionals. Several newspaper information retrieval systems and projects in different countries, mostly in developed world, are found to cater the retirements of users on a regular basis, besides most of the developed countries have established their own newspaper information retrieval systems. Newspapers are particularly both to preserve and to access they are large in format, prolific in output. A number of techniques were developed to preserve and retrieve the information available in newspapers. Among them, Digital preservation is the recent one. This led to create its own archive for newspapers. The author presented an overview about newspaper archive initiatives worldwide. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/513 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Open-source software (OSS) is a utility to empower the non-elite individuals and institutions to manage knowledge and develop low cost virtual libraries. It is an attempt to keep the software market away from monopolies and enable the non-elite institutions to build sustainable institutional repositories. Though OSS has made profound impact in the public domain worldwide, yet there is an urgent need to sensitize the stakeholders in India to enable them to learn about the benefits of open-source software and promote the concept and practice behind the movement. Only this way we can ensure diversity, equity, quality and equality, and flexibility in our products and services. Raising awareness among the non-elite about the open-source software is essential for managing knowledge and developing an egalitarian society. Open-source software has the potential to contain the twin perils of digital divide and digital determinism. Institutional repositories and WIKI-Space are the right step in preserving and disseminating our documentary heritage. This paper highlights the recommendations made by the National Knowledge Commission pertaining to the cutting-edge of Open-source software and knowledge management. It also raises a few issues that need immediate attention to empower the info-poor and develop an inclusive society. Implications of open-source software and knowledge management have also been pointed out. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1431 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Quality is a relative concept, closely linked to the level of user expectation and requirements. The relative nature of quality leads ultimately to excellence. Quality management includes effectiveness and efficiency rating, cost control, service assessment, user-oriented analysis. In the University system, libraries are the backbones to support the concept of quality academic functions. Unless and until, there is a quality approach in managing knowledge resources at library, it is difficult to expect quality of academic activities in university. In order to adapt to these new circumstances, universities are implementing new management procedures, and, for their part, university libraries are forced to make fundamental changes in order to conduct their business in line with managerial criteria. In this direction, an attempt has been made on Quality Management Model for Knowledge Resource Management and presented Assam University Library as a case study.

Abstract: The paper describes a suit of Open Source Software suite ‘reSearcher’ which includes CUFTS (online serials management system), GODOT (an OpenURL compliant system) and dbWIZ (a federated search engine) and CM (citation manager) from Simon Fraser University, Canada. Presents the advantages of an integrated approach where these software are pieced together to provide federated search to a consortium of libraries. The federated search facilitates to query across desperate information resources like e-journals, Z39.50 servers, online databases, DSpace based digital repositories. In fact dbWIZ provides a single stop search engine for a wide variety of information sources. Illustrations are taken from the implementation at Indian Statistical Institute. However, this paper does not cover CM. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/551 Files in this item: 1
