Abstract: Humans are telling stories since ancient times. What is new is the purposeful use of narrative to achieve a practical outcome. Storytelling will become a key ingredient in managing communications, education, training, innovation and sharing knowledge in the digital learning environment. Storytelling is the act of telling a story in an entertaining, impressive or dramatic way. Adding feeling or emotion is probably very important in story-telling. How do we do it? Generally we remember the feeling of the event or imagine what our characters might be feeling and then adjust our ‘delivery’ accordingly. While focusing on the concept of learning style, learning methods, learning tools in knowledge management system, this article discusses the features of storytelling and how the software facilitate the telling of a story URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/549 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Information growth trends are global issues and are common to all. This paper presents the concept of ‘digital library’ emerged as a leading edge technological solution to the persistent problems in modern libraries. Convergence of digital library with the Internet phenomenally increases the availability of digital resources, across the globe. It examines the real situation, where the morass of web resources presents a formidable hurdle to effectively accessing the relevant information. However, in digital libraries it is more acute, as the documents in digital library environment are free-formatted, voluminous and multiple media types; virtually the situation demands for the efficient and effective indexing/ retrieval mechanism. This problem has led to the rise of efficient search algorithms, as a powerful tool for search and retrieval. Over the last few decades, a considerable number of search algorithms have been devised addressing the requirement of different applications in IR systems – like soundex, metaphone, phonex, stemming, and many more. These algorithms are deeply concerned with the process of sorting and searching, which provides an ideal framework for the application to information retrieval in digital collections as well as Internet. Here an attempt has been made to discuss about the most popular and useful search algorithms and their impact on precision of search results, in searching the digital archives.

Abstract: The World Wide Web has a great impact on the people for communication and transactions. It has helped transform communities towards knowledge economy, broadly speaking into a knowledge society. Now the web is facing a significant change since its inception, and Sir Tim Berners-Lee is again at the forefront of the change introducing the concept of Semantic Web. In this paper I will be trying to emphasize on some of the following points. At first a general idea about www then search engines general features and advanced features after that its drawbacks and semantic web and its different aspects. The main moto behind this paper is to show how this Semantic Web technology helps in information retrieval which are not possible by the search engines.

Abstract: In the past two or three years, e-journals have become the largest and fastest growing segment of the digital collections. Collections that a few years ago numbered in the few hundreds of titles now number in the thousands, and the rate of growth continues to increase. We need to archive/preserved the copies of e-journals for future generations were the same copies being read by the current generation of users. Archiving of the E- Journal/E- Content addresses two major issues, Firstly, is giving access to the sources. Secondly, its preservation for long – term use. In this paper I will discusses the issues related to e-journal archiving and their possible solution using some open source software like LOCKSS, Dspace, Eprint, etc. In this paper I am also going to discuss the framework for Evaluation of Archiving Software.

Abstract: The paper proposes a model which focuses on a strategy to implement successful open learning support system with a productive collaboration with the faculty. The learner is supported for his open learning correspondence through value added services and information products introduced through the virtual library portal. The Internet enabled library portal is a focused interactive learning space where information flow is targeted to the learning contacts and assignments at hand of the student. The portal is one stop shop model where the user is provided with the learning activity support and the information access facility. Information access facility, though conventional, is converted into flexible mode using modern learning and communication software. The learning activity support is developed into a value added service where the user is supported through faculty-library collaborative development of information products and services where most of the relevant products are available in the digitized environment for the studentship of both distance and on campus. Ultimate objective of the portal strategy is to provide the distance user with learning and literary support through Internet technology. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/554 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: We seem to recall a time when protocols and standards were two different things. In the past couple of years, the craze over new protocols has seemingly breathed new life into library information technology, replacing the doldrums of standards with the hope of new, universally accepted protocols. We must admit to being too young to have been there, but we wonder if things felt like this when MARC and Wireless LAN were poised to change the world of library automation as also in XML, OpenURL, and the Open Archives. An increased rate of mobility brought about by the Wireless LAN break through has given a new dimension to networking capabilities. The IEEE 802.11 defines standards for both 1-2 Mbps and higher speed wireless communication. The study of the PHY and the MAC layer as per the IEEE 802.11 protocols reveal that the issues like security and reliability of utmost importance in this type of networking. In short if higher speed networking of this kind can be created then there would be no need for the conventional physical medium communication. Globalization of this technology would indeed bring the world closer and bring about a new era of wireless technology in the Library. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1429 Files in this item: 1
