Abstract: This Paper discusses problems of bandwidth crisis for computer data communication as amount of flow of data in backbone network is increasing exponentially because of increasing use of text, audio, still and motion video data over long distance. The paper discusses about upcoming technique for economic solution to this problem to be adopted. Wavelength Division Multiplexing techniques is one of the economic solution to such bandwidth crisis problem. The paper also discusses about the problem of efficient implementation of such a technique. The problem is known as routing and wavelength assignment problem.

Abstract: Agharkar Research Institute, Pune is a grant-in-aid research institute of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. The current research activities encompass biological sciences and focus on three broad areas: Animal Sciences, Microbial Sciences and Plant Sciences. The web site www.aripune.org has been launched to present the scientific activities and achievements of the institute. Information about ARI library is one of the important features of the web site. The present paper attempts to discuss the planning and strategies adopted for the implementation of WEB OPAC activities of the library. The discussion is based on actual experience gained during this process. We advocate that it is not necessary to provide access to all the data or information through Internet. However, it is always better to keep separate the locally and globally accessible information. We further discuss the issue of WEB OPAC of reprints of papers published by the scientists of our institute. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/225 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: “A library is a place where the right information is provided at right time, at right place and in a right personal way” by Dr. Ranganathan still holds true with the coming of new technology. The resources are shifting from print to electronic forms and the horizons of information age have expanded considerably than ever before, thanks to Internet and World wide web making the whole world a global village, thereby leading to such huge information maze which is beyond imagination. But, in order to make effective use of this mine of information, it becomes equally important to understand it and devise tools and techniques to utilize it effectively. Besides the analytical skills to identify the needs of users, knowledge of search tools has started becoming a speciality. Where search engines, subject’s guides and meta search engines help identify and locate the information, search logic helps to conceptualize the queries. However, the librarians who are excited to use wonderful web resources are digging out and mastering techniques to understand it’s behavior keeping in mind the fact that the value of a resource, and its ability to satisfy the information requirements, will vary for different audiences. However, as the Internet resources are dynamic and keep on changing, so resource evaluation has becomes more difficult than ever before leading to non-credibility of the results. This magnificent tool for librarians and informational professionals if properly understood and utilized can drastically change the frame of the today’s libraries and librarians building new relationships with the users, satisfying their information needs in a way they could never have anticipated.
