Abstract: Now a days network based information services have become more useful, affordable, available and usable. In network based information system, users can work simultaneously with multiple distributed information sources that differ in content, form and source types. Libraries serve at least three roles in learning. They serve practical role in sharing expensive resources – both physical and human resources. Libraries serve a cultural role in preserving and organizing artifacts and ideas. Third, libraries serve as a centers of interdisciplinary places shared by learners from all disciplines. If the library is networked, it extends such interdisciplinary approach by making diverse information resources available beyond the physical space shared by a group of learners apart from providing internal resources to the local users as well as remote users. One clear differentiation between traditional libraries and electronic libraries is that electronic libraries offer to deposit as well as use information. Electronic libraries allow storage of information in electronic form, communication from any place to obtain material, copying or taking print out from any place. So, this paper discusses about the network, Internet, Internet resources and services to our user community and remote users also. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/9 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Paper projects the performance of the Internet Service Providers (ISP), especially the leased line connectivity extended from the institutions of Government of India i.e., Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) established under the Ministry of Information Technology and Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd., (VSNL) established under the Ministry of Communication. Emphasis is laid on the leased line Internet connectivity being extended to the academic institutions and private industrial establishments in Mysore City. Also highlighted are the various issues concerned with hardware and passive component requirements, including the comparison of cost factor. The data /information provided here are based on the empirical studies and experiences gained in both the cases over the past 3 years. Also depicted are the comparison of certain issues of terms and conditions quoted by both the ISPs, while extending the services. More than anything, the effectiveness of services and the customer satisfaction in attending to the work of installation and follow-up services are compared. The merits and demerits in getting the Internet connectivity through the local data circuit maintained by the BSNL (DoT) and the radio waves from the earth station are examined.

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: 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: Internet technology has benefited the users of research and development library by providing effective and quick sharing of global information resources. Crime on the net has also increased with the growth of Internet. For smooth operation of net, the need-of-the-hour is to deploy a system that is ready for the worst and which, anticipates problems (internals and externals) before they occur. It should also be able to cope up when the net is down. This paper describes some major security threats with respect to Internet. It also discusses some security measures for managing and maintaining the local network. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/39 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The use of sophisticated technologies such as computer and telecommunication are bringing class room to the home and opening access to education for those who never entered or are unable to enter the portals of university. It is opening the flood gates of education to people hailing from any sections of society, including adult learners. It will greatly facilitate learner choice in terms of time and place for admission and assessment, and such functions could be carried out online which can be called E-learning. The paper discusses need for E-learning and the role of digital libraries in online education. The advantages of virtual universities and the challenges faced by the E-learners have also been described. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/45 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The world wide web has become an undisputed and powerful medium to integrate multiple information sources and services on the part of the libraries, leading to continual development of new applications and services. Efficient implementation of existing services and an opportunity for delivering information to the desktop of remote and local users has become an immediate priority on the part of the libraries. Locally owned resources like the OPAC, locally hosted electronic journals and databases, alerting services like new additions and content pages, and integrating host of other services call for an unpretentious approach for successful information services. In this paper an effort has been made to study the functions of various indexing and retrieval tools available on the web for their understanding and experience with standard indexing practices facilitating accurate and efficient data retrieval leading to the abstraction of digital library.
