Abstract: With growing interest in the Internet, more specifically, the World Wide Web, over the past few years and rapid growth in the number of users, the volume of information carried by the Internet has increased dramatically both in sheer size and diversity. In addition, vast amount of information on the Web is publicly available to users with uncontrolled, unstructured, and drastically changing nature. Internet search engines, meta-search engines and subject directories have contributed, to a certain extent, in finding information required by the user. However, it is a time consuming task because the user has to actively search relevant information. In the context of Internet and World Wide Web, keeping completely current with all latest information available is an impossible task. But, majority of services such as the Current Awareness Services, alert service table of contents of journals, new books, standards, patents, Web page monitors, E-Newsletter and daily news digests, etc. are based on the concept called push technology for delivering latest literature right to the end-user’s desktop through e-mail as soon as published. When full-fledged features of the push technology are utilized for providing current awareness service using Web resources, it will not only open new opportunities to the librarians but also to the end-users to keep up-to-date with latest literature. The article describes the opportunities open for the Cyber Librarian, advantages and down sides of push technology, push models, types of notifications and user interfaces, and active current awareness services on World Wide Web that are relevant to the library profession.

Abstract: The paper attempts to measure the level and status of best library practices and services of university library systems amidst drastic and dramatic changes in the global information environment. Describes that dynamic changes in the environment upset the static balances in the users, provides services, products and consultations. The library paradigm is shifting from storehouse model of information provision to “access” or “Gateway” model. Emphasizes that some sort of intervention is needed to put the same in order and bring equilibrium between the users and providers. Also describes that TQM is an intervention to bring radical changes in the system. With that aim in mind this paper examines and ausits the strengths and weaknesses of nine university libraries through TQM. Conceptualises the term TQM and reengineering in the context of library and information services. Points out that the aim of TQM and reengineering in the context of university libraries is to provide local and global information as a unified transaction from the same terminal. The induction of IT in all spheres of human activities have forced the university libraries to attain require competencies and information infrastructure to interface the problems, challenges opportunities and impending threats. Information management of this sort is nothing but application of information technology (IT) in all house keeping, networking, resource sharing and other advanced information handling activities. To cope with the changing needs of information the forms of information resources are also changing at a fast pace that is clearly visible from the long journey from ‘shruti’in vedic age to the Internet and digital resources. Library literature also reveals that convergence of print and digital technology is necessary condition for qualitative library services. To that end an attempt is made to measure that level of IT application with regard to forms of reading material, forms of periodicals, hardware and software facilities initiation of computerisation, status of housekeeping operations, retrieval services, application in library administration and management (MIS), size of in-house databases, and access to major networks and their services, particularly the use of Internet based services in all the nine university libraries under study. This is a sort of auditing of the existing scenario. Also suggests measures to reengineer the library management, structure, organisation, services, information infrastructure, and competencies to cope with the situation.

Dhiman, Anil Kumar (INFLIBNET Centre, February NaN, 2002)[more][less]
Abstract: The libraries exist in many forms and are of many types. With the advancement of information technology, we have image libraries, audio libraries and even digital libraries. A digital library may simply be defined as the library, which has all the documents in the digital form rather than the print media. In traditional libraries, we have the documents in printed forms while in case of digital libraries; all the documents are found in digitized forms. A library can serve at least three roles in learning, viz.; first, practical role in sharing expensive sources like physical and human resources, secondly, cultural role in preserving and organizing artifacts and ideas and thirdly social and intellectual roles by bringing together people and ideas. The libraries serve as centers of interdisciplinary places shared by learners from all disciplines. Digital libraries extend such interdisciplinary approach by making diverse information resources available beyond the physical space shared by a group of learners. Digital libraries have been in use for the last three decades, but there is a constant change and improvement in the technology used by digital libraries in the last decade. By the 1990’s, the technology made it possible for digital libraries to include different items like text, image, audio and video. Nowadays, visual information systems are gaining more popularity as compared to text based information systems. Therefore, digital libraries are becoming more graphical in nature and they provide access to digital information collections. The digitalization is the process of conversion of any fixed or analog media – books, journal articles, photos, paintings, microforms into electronic form though scanning, sampling or even reeking. It is the creation of digital collection of information with multimedia features, that offer faster and easy access to a large number of users. In digitization, the documents are either scanned from print image or directly reproduced in digital form on Floppy, CDs, DVDs and other digital media. The digitalization process provides solutions to traditional library problems such as conservation, preservation, storage, multimedia documents, remote access to information collection and acquisition or original digital works created by publishers, agencies and scholars, access to external material not held in-house by providing pointers to website, other library collection and publishers servers. Though, there are various means of resource sharing like, telephone, fax, xeroxing and e-mail etc. (Dhiman, 1998) but the Internet is one of the media over which many library resources are put in the form of web sites in digitized form. The users can access the information from such sites in digitized form. This paper discusses some important issues regarding Internet uses in library and its role in resource sharing in digital environment. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/8 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Search engines are systems that find relevant information on the World Wide Web using search robots. These are huge indexes that attempt to include each word from every page of the entire www in their databases. Better knowledge of search engines and Meta search engines, could help you zero in on the information you need on the web more easily. This paper illustrates search engines and meta-search engines on the net. Description: This is only an Abstract URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/67 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Lot of Information is available on the World Wide Web. But Searching on the World Wide Web can be confusing. A myriad of search engines exist, often with little or no documentation, and many of these search engines work differently from the standard commercial search engines user normally use (1). There are many directories, which attempt to organize the Internet by subject. Today there are many search engines that combine directory and keyword search capability. This paper defines search engine, directories and covers basics of searching, provides criteria for choosing search engines, as well as provides a comparison of some of the search engines available.

Abstract: Organizing and providing access to the resources on the internet has been a problem area in spite of the availability of sophisticated search engines and other software tools. There have been several attempts to organize the resources on the WWW. Some of them have tried to use traditional Library Classification Schemes such as the Library of Congress Classification, the Dewey Decimal Classification and others. However there is a need to assign proper subject headings to them and present them in a logical or hierarchical sequence to cater to the need for browsing. This paper attempts to describe an experimental system designed to organize and provide access to web documents using a faceted pre-coordinate indexing system based on the Deep Structure Indexing System (DSIS) derived from POPSI (POstulate based Permuted Subject Indexing) of Bhattacharya, and the facet analysis and chain indexing system of Ranganathan. A prototype software system has been designed to create a database of records specifying Web documents according to the Dublin Core and input a faceted subject heading according to DSIS. Synonymous terms are added to the standard terms in the heading using appropriate symbols. Once the data is entered along with a description and URL of the Web document, the record is stored in the system. More than one faceted subject heading can be assigned to a record depending on the content of the original document. The system stores the surrogates and keeps the faceted subject headings separately after establishing a link. Search is carried out on index entries derived from the faceted subject heading using chain indexing technique. If a single term is input, the system searches for its presence in the faceted subject headings and displays the subject headings in a sorted sequence reflecting an organizing sequence. If the number of retrieved headings is too large (running into more than a page) then the user has the option of entering another search term to be searched in combination. The system searches subject headings already retrieved and look for those containing the second term. The retrieved faceted subject headings can be displayed and browsed. When the relevant subject heading is selected the system displays the records with their URLs. Using the URL the original document on the web can be accessed. The prototype system developed under Windows NT environment using ASP and web server is under rigorous testing. The database and indexes management routines need further development.
