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.
