Abstract: This article provides a brief background on the current state of information search in this highly connected and pervasive internet age. It is followed by an introduction to the federated search engine and its definition. While this article assumes that the role played by federated search engine in searching disparate information has been now quite justified and established, it lays the emphasis on the capabilities of the federated search engines. It does so by listing the functionalities expected from a federated search engine, and higher level explanation of inner workings of the federated search engine. It also lists the advantages and shortcomings of federated search engines. This is followed by the selection criteria of a federated search engine and lastly a list of some of the popular federated search engines available today.

Abstract: Importance of localization of ICTs in India and the efforts are being made by the different organizations for localization of Indian Languages are highlighted. The role of the North Eastern (NE) universities in India in this regard can be significant for making ICTs useful in the local communities, especially in rural areas. Like in Rajasthan State, a women university situated in rural area, Banasthali University’s effort in the localization process is creditable and may be a kind of learning for NE universities. As India, a linguistically diversified country, the languages being the important vehicles to carry its culture and tradition for posterity and NE states, a hub of local and tribal languages, a proper use of ICTs in developmental process is possible if proper care is given to localization of ICTs. Further, a large number of local languages, especially minority languages in the NE India are at the verge of extinction, and some have already become extinct. In the present ICT environment, enormous prospects are available to make efforts at the universities levels which will not only help in preserving these languages and literature, but also by localization of ICTs to local people will receive proper benefits from ICTs which in turn, being valuable resource, can helpful in Government’s efforts and projects; e-governance, NeGP(India), etc and other development activities of the society . Similar to Banasthali, libraries of NE can initiate some efforts through projects with the help of their parent universities and institutions in ICT localization and preservation of the local languages and literature of the localities /communities.

Abstract: The paper is about REST (Representational State Transfer) patterns URI using various new web technologies. This paper discusses use of REST URI with several Semantic Web components, along with Semantic Web and Ontology technology implementation approaches along with theory concepts in mind so the practical implementation can be further carried out with variety of measurements. In Ontology terminologies, SPARQL is a standard query language for RDF but plays a vital role by using FOAF function which deals with information of particular URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) to process.

Abstract: The information evolution leads to the flood of publication. User needs are also rapidly growing. They have to read more journals, require more information but the prices have increased faster than library budget. So to cope up the situation and meet the user requirement the institutional repositories has been emerged. In the age of ICT, the concept of institutional repository has arisen, which have become very essential mode of accessing and sharing the information. Information is always considered the root cause for the development of any society/community. Intuitional Repositories are digital collections of the outputs created within a university or research institution. This paper discussed about growth of IR in India and also global scenario of IRs. This paper is a consideration of some of the important aspects related with IRs. It also explores the trends at global and national level of IR. The present paper also discusses about some important software, which is being used by IR of various organizations world wide and described objective, definitions, content, use, features, design, advantages, key components, issues and challenges, etc. IR consists of formally organized and managed collections of digital content generated by the faculty, staff and students of an institution. IR enhance the visibility of the research outputs locally produced. The paper concludes with the remarks that the LIS professionals need to have more active and responsible for generation and maintenance of IR systems efficiently and effectively. Librarian is the focal point, the IR system as he plays a role of designer as well as service provider. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1699 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Academic libraries have special responsibilities and challenges to face in preparing for and participating in the transition. It is an accepted fact that information technology has the potential to bring substantial improvements to higher education and scholarly communication. To achieve such improvements, the willingness and zeal of the library professionals to take new responsibilities is crucial. Over the past several decades, the economic, market and technological foundations that sustained the symbiotic publisher-library market relationship have begun to shift. The paper discusses the concept of Institutional Repository (IR), its benefits, various types of software, trends with special reference to the initiatives of Mizoram University.

Abstract: Human being needed learning and education throughout his life. Right from birth to death, we learn new things which come to our live. We need guidance; we need facilities to perform in order to reach our target. Modern Education is Library oriented education and research based principle. The teachers should actively engage their students in using the library as a kind of laboratory of learning “how to manage their own education”. (1) The library must be taken as an extension of the class-room and expected from the students to use it intelligently in preparation for discussions in class, seminar reports and papers. Students and other Library users may not know the system practice in the Library. What documents available in the library and what facilities the library provides to the user will be discuss in this paper. In addition to this, providing facilities to the faculty inside and outside the library, facilities providing to students for their career development choke out also discussed.

Abstract: Creation of research results and its publications is extremely important for further research in the same area. Research institutions are already making their best effort to digitize their research output and keeping it in an archive as repository for internal access and sharing among peer research. Open access model has paved way for publishing the research result on public access mode. Shodhganga is a National Repository of Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) awarded in Indian Universities. Search and discovery of content in a semantic approach is paramount for a researcher to navigate to the proper content in ETDs. Creation of meta-data, organizing it in a logically linked relation is proposed for a semantic visual browser. Use of ontology for the explicit specification of conceptualization of the important meta-data elements by using latest semantic tools such as RDF/XML, OWL, Protégé, NeOn toolkit are discussed in this paper. A conceptual framework for ontologies based on the standard and advanced ontological model and its creation and implementation with reference to ETDs is also discussed.
