Abstract: Data mining automatically and exhaustively explores very large datasets, consequently uncovering otherwise hidden relationships among data. This technology has been successfully applied in science, health, marketing and finance to aid new discoveries and strengthen markets. In addition, data mining techniques are being applied to discover and organize information from the Web. Unfortunately these advancements in data storage and distribution technology have not been accompanied by respective research in data retrieval technology for a long time. To put it in short: we are now being flooded with data, yet we are starving for knowledge. This need has created an entirely new approach to data processing - the data mining, which concentrates on finding important trends and meta-information in huge amounts of raw data. In this paper the main concepts of data mining and automatic knowledge discovery in databases are presented (clustering, finding association rules, categorisation, statistical analysis).

Abstract: The paper intends to focus on the preservation of digital resources and challenges, scope of the problem, methods of preservation. Preservation constitutes one leg of a tripod that supports informational institutions such as libraries and other leg being access and the development and management of corrections. Without preservation, access becomes impossible and collections will delay and disintegrate. Digital preservation means the planning, resource allocation and application of preservation methods and technologies necessary to ensure that digital information of continuing value remain accessible and usable. The purpose of preservation is to ensure protection of information of enduring value for access by present and future generation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/344 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Developing preservation strategies for photographic materials require specific expertise on storage, environment, package materials and conservation treatments. Many digitization projects for photographs grew out of project primarily dealing with text. Digitization of photographs:- Obviously digitization is considered to be very attractive by institutions that hold photographic collections. When digital copies are available, users can browse through a collection without handling fragile materials. Creating an adequate digital representation of a (historical) photograph requires expert knowledge of imaging techniques as well as photographic processes. The present paper describes in detail the methods and procedures adopted by The ‘Collage’-project, The Public Record Office Library, Victoria and Albert Museum (UK), The British Library (UK) and Stadt- und Universitätsbibliothek Frankfurt for conservation of their photographic collection. It also highlights the unique properties of photographs and narrates the care to be taken before digitizing this material. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/346 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Free and equal information is the catch of the day, emphasis is laid today on promoting information access through different medium to provide to right user at the right time. While the information revolution has placed enormous pressure on libraries as they try to find their way across the dramatic technological revolution. Information at present is the source of production, transmission and consumption in the electronic age; and is considered to be the back bone in the digital repositories. Every digital collection is based on e-learning, which provide free access to all. In democratic world uneven access has led to a growing concern about the rise of a digital divide between information “ haves” and “have nots” based on race, income, family structure, education and other factors.

Abstract: Electronic Information is the logical extension of the development in technology and the positive response to the growing need of the users for easy access of information and rights holders can gain better access to large amounts of rights data, and today most use that electronic tool. In order to manage the electronic information some effective tools like, Electronic Information Management (EIM), must be incorporated. In the simplest definition, EIM means using office technology systematically to help you store, retrieve, and safeguard your organization’s information. Most people think immediately of reducing paper, but as we rely more and more on technology to create digital information - software files, digital photographs, and Email, EIM takes on a broader scope. With current technology it’s possible to manage a complete “library” of information with centralized security, backups and control, different levels of retrieval and access, and archival storage. Digital Right Management offers a better way to manage the records you rely on. Whether documents are stored in an original electronic file format or scanned from paper, managing their storage, access and retention becomes easier with technology.
