| dc.description.abstract |
A survey of library and information centres of 12 institutions which include
3 Engineering colleges, 4 Research Centres and 5 Software companies was
conducted. While investigating creation and management of digital
resources as well as conventional resources, it was observed that
engineering colleges have interactive classroom type of learning and
therefore the libraries have mainly textbooks/reference books, where as in
software companies, information was available in the web based form. It
was also observed that software companies were establishing
Documentation/Resources centres.
In order to interact more effectively to convert information into solutions
and useful products via knowledge, it is suggested that libraries/information
centres should play an active role in this process. Research institutions and
engineering colleges can also follow the learning and skill development
process followed by IT companies. |
