Abstract: This paper emphasizes on the modern trend of library and informationservices considering that the digitised information is easily accessible than print media. It discusses the mission of digital library, a new library concept in the digital age of information. It emphasizes on two main aspects - multimedia technology and networking specially Internet, which can be treated as two wings of any digital library system. It also highlights that library and information professionals must acquire the knowledge on these two emerging areas and develop their skills for rendering effective and efficient users services. Lastly, it discusses scope of developing digital libraries in India and the role of the INFLIBNET in this regard after its full- fledged implementation.

Abstract: As a means for improving access and for preserving the contents for posterity, a proposal for developing a digital library of Indian Library and Information Science journals is attempted in this paper. A brief about the purposes, functions, and tasks involved in digital library development is discussed. Around 29 journals are identified for digitising, by considering the style and coverage of articles published in them from those listed as from India in Ulrichs, and by making a survey of journals published. Since digitisation and digital library development are stupendous tasks involving computer and communications infrastructure, and considerable specialized human skill, institutions like INSDOC, DRTC, NCSI, DELNET and INFLIBNET are identified to host this decentralised digital library. To have the state of affairs in the national level, two case studies of Current Science online and the recent venture by NISSAT to host their Newsletter, Information Today and Tomorrow on Tripod Server is presented. The need for proper formats like PDF, as the initiatives discussed are resorting to multiple formats of html, gif and jpg to deal with text and figures, is stressed. Since some of the journals have a collection of over 4 decades and in all probability old issues in electronic form may not be available, scanning and CD archiving of old issues is suggested with web access to the latest volumes, may be 5-10 years to begin with. Problems and prospects of how the copyrights are transferred to the developer, how the contents are accessed, security mechanisms, sponsorships needed to host it as a free facility permitting unhindered access, and the unresolvable problem of Internet bandwidth demands are highlighted.

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.
