Abstract: Technology advances over the past two decades have made data retrieval faster and easier, giving rise to a substantial industry providing access to professional, business and scientific information. Some progress has been made towards increasing the relevancy of the data with the induction of various search engines and subject directories. Despite these activities, information sources remain scattered, hard to find and difficult to access. Using technology, visionary institutions, associations and individuals build a kind of network resource discovery service, called “Subject Gateways” on the web, which is de-facto network use environment. This subject gateways evolved during the last five years among early digital library projects within the library communities of the various countries. Subject gateways allows libraries and related organizations to explore the usefulness of their subject expertise in the organisation of knowledge in the word of network -based, digital information. This paper gives an overview of the subject gateways, its historical development, definitions, features and lastly the burning issues encompassing it. Also some of the international initiatives related to further research and trend are explored. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/107 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper introduces the concept of deficiencies in html and advocates that xml can be a substitute of html for its advantages. Being the web standard, it also accomplishes its application to the library documents as a metatag descriptor. The paper explains this through an example of XML, DTD, CSS, HTML files with few catalogue fields as descriptors. It also focuses on the various recommendations brought by RDF and Dublin Core in the development of metadata. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/85 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Internet editions of various newspapers in English and other regional languages in India are being produced, on an increasing scale, in India during the last three/four years. The text of these editions is preserved at various newspaper offices. This has resulted in database creation activity in Indian languages. Internet editions of Marathi newspapers are also being produced recently . Studies have been conducted on four Marathi news papers and various aspects like periodicity, preservation periods, typography/fonts used, procedure for information searching, headings, colours used etc. have been studied.

Abstract: Digitisation of manuscripts aims to stimulate a responsible approach to the sources from which our historical consciousness grows and to contribute to the general availability of information about our history and culture. The project plan aims to initiate and to support the safeguarding of existing documents not only for this generation but also for the future ones. The present paper seeks to outline some of the issues surrounding digitisation at the moment. It does not attempt to provide complete solutions or recommendations regarding hardware,software, resolutions, etc. Instead it provides recommendations applicable to the strategic planning level, with particular reference to the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University Library, Aurangabad.

Abstract: Ever since the development of the webpage, the Internet resources have grown at an exponential rate. Growth rate has further increased with the digitization of old documents besides the creation of new digital resources. The Internet empowers every author to create, publish and directly distribute the contents to the end users. Easy and expeditious access to information, convenience of use and advances in technology led to the increasing accessibility of the Internet resources and further accelerated their growth. The Internet can provide comprehensive information in a diversity of subjects for a variety of needs and to various categories of users at any point of time. The major concern now is evaluation and quality filtering of information resources, accessible on the Internet. This paper includes the criteria for evaluation and selection of web resources for libraries and information users.

Abstract: The increasing advancements in storage media, computers and telecommunications have forced library and information centres to access information more and more in different formats, styles and sizes. Document delivery has always been heart of the services offered by libraries, publishers and other organisations to their users. Document delivery comprises both print and electronic documents. Recently, there is tremendous development in electronic document delivery. There are sizeable number of agents in document delivery. These include library networks and consortia including national libraries, document delivery by CD-ROM, Commercial document delivery services, library suppliers and subscription agents. This paper discusses role of these agents in document delivery, process of document delivery as well as future of electronic document delivery.

Parekh, Harsha (INFLIBNET Centre, March NaN, 2001)[more][less]
Abstract: Digital resources are a comparatively new category of information materials in Indian libraries.Although in many ways managing digital resources is similar to handling other resources, thereare significant differences. One major difference lies in the fact that libraries are also increasingly getting involved in the very creation of digital resources.Digital resources can broadly be grouped into two categories – those that are originally created and distributed in digital format and those that are originally created in another format and are later converted into a digital format through a process generally referred to as digitization. Several organizations – libraries, governments, research institutions, and commercial organizations - at local, regional, national and international levels are involved on digitization activities. This paper begins with an understanding of digitization - the meaning and the processes – and then seeks to look at the issues involved in the digitization process from the perspective of libraries. As such, the focus is greater on the digitization of printed materials, rather than objects or sound, film or video recordings. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/79 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Journals are an important source of information to a research community. But the problems associated with information explosion and escalating cost of journals have made it difficult to effectively access the information contained in journals, even for a narrow subject area. Application of information technology, like availability of on-line journals and e-mail based table of contents services, has eased the problem to some extent. One such service is the Electronic Table of Contents (ETOC) service provided by National Centre for Science Information (NCSI) to the research community at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). This service is based on the Current Contents obtained from Institute of Scientific Information (ISI). This work aims to add value to the ETOC service by including information about the availability or non-availability of a journal in the JRD Tata Memorial Library in the institute in the ETOC service.

Abstract: During the past few years, there has been tremendous development reaming the concept of digital libraries-a knowledge base that can be stored and retrieved through on- line networks. Digital libraries are the most complex form of information systems that support digital document preservation, distributed database management, hypertext, filtering, information retrieval and selective dissemination of information. This has really overcome geographical barriers offering wide range of academic, research and cultural resources with multimedia effects which can be accessed around the world over the distributed netwo rks. The paper examines the concept of Digital library, the technology that has enabled its emergence and its architecture. It also highlights the digital library projects undertaken in USA, UK and India. Here the authors explore the unique features of digital library and possible challenges ahead for library and information professionals in the digital environment.
