Abstract: In this age of Information Technology, there have been so many opportunities for the Librarians for involvement in an information-based society including electronic and multimedia publishing, Internet based-information services, global networking, web based digital resources etc. The base of recorded information is growing at an accelerating rate, in increasing varieties of formats (texts, numeric, graphic, video, audio, image, electronic, etc.). Virtual Library can be defined as the Internet based Digital Library. The concept of “Virtual Library” is that any person who has a computer by which he can make connection to the library networks can access not only the resources of the library but also access variety of information that is available nationally and internationally through networks, like Internet, Intranet without being physically present in library. This article explains what is meant by a Virtual Library and to build a virtual library in what way the Librarians have to change their roles to face the challenges of modern Information Technologies in the changing environment. Also this article, discusses about the changing role of librarians, the skills needed to build a virtual library and how the virtual information should be collected, managed, preserved and disseminated to the millennium users.

Abstract: Library without wall or a scientifically managed collection of information resources and services available electronically through Internet are nothing but the virtual library. The paper mainly discusses about the concept and the birth of VL. Emphasis has been given to the planning and management of VL which includes planning, mission and scope, time frame, infrastructures required, evaluation and assessment, etc. The paper focuses on the management and funding and also describes the influence of internet on VL along with user awareness and reference service. Some light has been thrown on the commercial consortia which provides the concept of e-journals, J-Gate, ACM portal, etc. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/333 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Increased Research and Development activities in all subject areas initiated massive growth of literature and the advent of Internet provided further impetus to the process. Open nature of Internet served as platform for people to share/ publish their ideas. This condition led to the chaotic state of web. The main reason behind it was the unorganized heap of information in the form of web documents. So, the need of the hour is cataloguing the web, thereby providing appropriate surrogate to locate the relevant piece of information. This paper discusses the need of web cataloguing and the important issues therein. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/372 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Internet is one of the valuable and probably most used information resources for the present days. There is hardly any topic on which information is not available on Internet. But the problem with it is automated indexing and poor recall and precision of retrieval. Tough in some cases, search formation are not formulated properly, still the performance of Internet or website is not satisfactory. Here, an approach of building subject base Internet resources is discussed under the heading of subject gateway. It may be a better tool for retrieving subject information in comparison of popular search engines. Different sides of ‘subject gateways’ are discussed to manage the growing web resources. In conclusion the role of information professionals in this regard is discussed. Description: This is only an Abstract URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/398 Files in this item: 1

Prasad, M R Murali (INFLIBNET Centre, Ahmedabad, February NaN, 2004)[more][less]
Abstract: In early days people were communicating orally with one another, offering their perspectives on the world and sharing their passions. By lowering the barriers to publishing, the web can make those communications, whether representing individuals or their organizations, more powerful than ever before, but that require the right tools, metaphors and platforms. Through a gradual process of evolution and technology development, the communications has finally found a native online form through which to express themselves: a new form of web site called the weblog.

Abstract: Today most of the functions that we perform on Internet, like- searching, retrieving, interpreting, analyzing, tracking records, etc. depend on the concept of semantic web. Development of semantic networks largely depends on ontologies. This article focuses on various aspects of Web Ontology and some real time examples to make explicit the use of ontology for development of semantic web.

Abstract: Wireless connectivity is the preferred connectivity in computer networks. It involves connecting laptops, mobile libraries and even bridges to computer networks, without physical wire connections. Wireless connectivity means that individuals can potentially access the Internet, CD-ROM networks and office networks from anywhere and at any time. The lack of a physical connection means that users are able to roam or work wherever they wish and still have access to the computer network. This paper highlights the key elements in wireless connectivity and its potential for deployment in network of libraries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/360 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Two technologies have changed people’s attitude to communication and information access in the last decade: the Internet and mobile communication. In one hand the classical internet architecture is visible. On the other hand organizations across the country are embracing wireless campus networks. The appeal is obvious- seamless, ubiquitous connectivity for users wherever they are locate. The emergence of 802.11 wireless standards have brought costs down and increased compatibility. Setting up a wireless network is trivial –most equipment works out of the box with little or no configuration. In this article the authors intend to describe a guide line of achieving an m-library with WML (Wireless Mark-up Language) in WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) in WLAN environment.
