Abstract: ICTs have been adopted by libraries in India as and when they are evolved. The transformation of some traditional libraries into hybrid libraries has been gradual, but with little jerks as well. The paper stresses that ICTs are inevitable for a modern library in a networked global information society. This paper also raises some is sues, particularly the ones concerning human resources, faced by Indian libraries in various stages of transformation. Libraries in India are now faced with issues concerning the most critical resource in management, viz. the human resource. From poorly organised collections managed by non-professionals to modern networked libraries managed by professionals, and libraries falling somewhere between the two extremes, India has all types and levels of libraries. With a large number of libraries still tradit ional, some automated, and only a few having digital collections, manpower issues in case of Indian libraries are diverse and complex. Many university and special libraries have completed to a larger extent their automation processes, and are also networked. This paper highlights the problems faced by librarians in modernising their libraries and digitizing their collections. Public libraries seem to have been left behind as far as adoption of ICTs and modernisation of libraries is concerned. In the absence of clear-cut policy and guidelines for networking, and digitization of libraries, and the provision of electronic library services, library authorities and professionals are facing a lot of problems. The paper points out that in India there is also a contradiction regarding employment scenario in libraries. On the one hand there are many libraries which don't have a qualified professional librarian, and on the other there are inadequate employment opportunities for the very large number of qualified bachelors' and masters' degree holders in library and information science. This situation has implications for teachers in library and information science for updating the syllabi of existing courses and introducing new need based short-term courses to strengthen the existing professionally qualified staff. The paper lays emphasis on developing policy drafts for library and information services in the country in the context of digitization and global electronic village. Particular emphasis must be laid down in the policy on issues concerning manpower. Since government agencies have not done much regarding policy issues, concerned professional associations and organisations should take up the initiative in this regard. The paper concludes with the hope that in the near future, library associations and organisations shall play proactive and assertive roles so that some of the issues currently faced by the profession are sorted out.

Abstract: The present paper discusses the importance of manuscript collection and the necessity to preserve it for the future research and references. It highlights on the existing precious manuscript collection of Jayakar library. The paper tries to convert document in the digital form to preserve and maintain it. More emphasis is given on conversion of Marathi manuscripts available in the Jayakar library. It also discusses various methods of capturing data and its advantages and disadvantages. The central theme of the paper is to find out, how much space is required to store one image in various file formats likebitmap, tif and jpeg, which may act as a guideline for preservation and maintenance of manuscripts.

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: 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: 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: 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.

Abstract: It is often said that “People must know the past to understand the present and face the future”. This statement more particularly suits to the church archival materials which depict and reflect the church heritage. In this paper an attempt has been made to present an overview of church archival materials in India in general and the Archdiocese of Madras-Mylapore in particular. It is based on a questionnaire survey. The survey covered various church archives in India. It has been found that in almost all church archives in India the archival materials are not effectively stored and preserved. Therefore, keeping in view, the present state of affairs in the care and maintenance of church archival materials and with the available technology, it is proposed to go in for ‘digitization’ as a means of preservation of church archival materials. In this context, the concept of digitization and its advantages, the hardware and software required for digitization, and the processes have been explained. Further, the type of archival materials to be digitized has been specified. The paper, concluding that in view of the effectiveness of digitization as a means of preservation, urges that in this new millennium the church archives in India should go in for digitization.
