Abstract: Books form an important part of human culture and heritage. Traditional approaches to book production include either manual or mechanical binding of sheets of paper in order to form an organized, structured entity of knowledge. Now, the mode of production, dissemination and information seeking behavior of users are changing in electronic era and call for alternative approaches to book production, dissemination and use. One such alternative approach is the creation of Electronic Book. This paper discusses the growing importance of e-book, creation techniques, some issues and challenges and its implications in libraries and information centers.

Abstract: Sophisticated access mechanisms, spiraling serials costs, new technologies and growing researcher needs and expectations are all driving libraries to reassess basic assumptions about interlibrary loan and document delivery. This article deals with document delivery service, its needs, characteristics and types. It discusses electronic document, motives and components of electronic document delivery. Trends and implications for the future have been highlighted. The article points out that the full benefits of an electronic document delivery system can not be realised until discovery, ordering and delivery are integrated. The article ends with fundamental questions about structure and operation of delivery service in administrative,technical and legal areas.

Abstract: Information superhighway is today thought of as a revolutionary platform intended to form a network connecting computers globally. The Digital Library System (DLS) is an information service in which all the information resources are available in computer processable form and the functions of acquisition, storage, preservation, retrieval, access and display are carried out through the use of digital technologies. It is not restricted to the provision of information in text format. In fact, audio and video resources are also to be represented digitally. A DLS can disseminate its information across a network and users can retrieve information in the same way. Scholarly and professionals interest in DLS has grown rapidly during 1990s. A typical DLS is a media server connected to high speed networks. This paper discusses the typical DLS, with its components and features.

Abstract: From the early 90’s, the pool of free scholarly electronic journals has increased considerably. Electronic Journals in Scholarly setting continue a tradition of creation and dissemination of knowledge that has begun long ago on Print Journals. The attitude and publishing habits of researchers have changed. Amidst the furore of serial price increase, the steady growth of scholarly journals freely available in electronic form is worth noticing. Most editors and publishers agree that the research findings should be made widely available to all, and the internet is capable of doing just that. This paper tends to look at some of the aspects of free scholarly journals, their availability, impact on the scientific community and resource links.

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.

Gobinda G., Chowdhury (INFLIBNET Centre, March NaN, 2001)[more][less]
Abstract: While library automation and Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) are slowly taking place, digital library research and development activities are at a very preliminary stage in India. Never the less various institutions, especially the universities and other academic institution in the country have rich resources that can be shared and put to optimum use through digital libraries. In this paper the down-to-earth approach to building digital libraries for the Ph.D Theses and Dissertations submitted to the Indian Universities has been proposed, primarily for the benefit of the academic and research community. Author proposes that INFLIBNET is in an excellent position to spearhead in building such digital libraries and the same may be taken up in three stages for which simple guidelines have been discussed and presented.

Majumdar, Kamalendu; Panigrahi, P K (INFLIBNET Centre, March NaN, 2001)[more][less]
Abstract: Library service is a busy, user-oriented activity, with a deep-rooted emphasis on means rather than ends, on tactics rather than strategy, on building collections rather than on the roles those collections play. This has been reflected by many renewed critics in their professional literature on practical and technical matters. In this paper the authors try to emphasise major changes that are likely to take place and a need for recognition regarding convergence between library, computing , and telecommunications services; of probable changes in the publishing world, and library management using new tools and techniques.

Rajkumar, P V (INFLIBNET Centre, March NaN, 2001)[more][less]
Abstract: The digital library offers users the prospect of access to electronic resources at their convenience temporally and spatially. Users do not have to be concerned with the physical library’s hours of operation, and users do not have to physically go to the library to access resources. Much has been written about the digital library. The focus of most studies, papers, and articles has been on the technology, or on the types of resources offered. Human interaction in the digital library is discussed far less frequently. One would almost get the impression that the service tradition of the physical library will be unnecessary and redundant in the digital library environment. This paper explores the role of the librarian and of the service perspective, in the digital library environment. Focus of the paper is limited to librarian/user collaboration where the librarian and user are not co-located. The author, explores the role of the librarian as outlined in the literature on digital libraries, examines some studies that attempt to put the service perspective in the digital library, surveys existing initiatives in providing library services electronically, and outlines potential service perspectives for the digital library.

Abstract: This paper introduces the concepts of Information Technology (IT) and its related fields. It defines the scope of Information management (IM). The paper reviews IT application sources/Indicators, which are essential in the context of modern library and information science services and precise library and information science management environment for socio-economic development. It also describes the role of information technology in effective storage, processing and retrieval in light of developmental trends in the field of information management. It discusses certain constraints in effective application of information technology for the management of information in the Indian Context. The constrains,such as the lack of availability and application of IT due to insufficient financial resources, reluctant manpower and ill-developed information infrastructure and other similar factors, come in the way of proper application of IT in the information management that serve as an indicator of socio- economic development which in turn affects the National Development.

Abstract: To be more concrete about the importance of rich representation of Indian Heritage, digitization of ancient purana vidya is prerequisite. Indian heritage has reached to masses in India through 18 puranas, because of their certain outstanding features. The same could be represented very effectively appealing to masses via. Digitization process of it. Towards the digitization, puranas can be represented metaphorically with their structural peculiarities. The main purpose of this research paper is to bring to the floor the metaphorical analysis of this huge source under Indian Heritage(IH), by adopting the analogical model, that will be useful for contents tool designers as well as to the content creators by systematizing and fastening their work, and ultimately to the end users from the point of interfaces. With these issues, exploring an environmental atmosphere to make effective the process of digitization is the need for an integrated Indian Heritage Digital Library.
