Abstract: Resource sharing is an age-old concept in the Library and Information profession, which is addressed by terms such as co-operation, consortia, networking etc. Information explosion has made it difficult for libraries to acquire all the required information resources, which are published. The change in information generation and transmission has made us to move from print to electronic in terms of acquiring information resources and to provide services. freeE-Journals Information Service (freeE-JIS) is a demonstration system, developed at NCSI as an extension for E-journal Information Service (E-JIS) provided by the Centre in IISc. The prototype freeE-JIS supports Co-operative E-journals Content Management System, where libraries willing to participate can share their knowledge of free E-journals, available on the Internet. The software for freeE-JIS was developed on Linux platform using Apache Web Server with MySQL database as the back end. With the additional features of login and session management, it can be a valuable service for a group of library or information centers. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/206 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Information technology has been one of the major factors causing changes in the way people communicate, locate, retrieve, and use information. The impact of automation on the library is quite obvious and has created new types of work, prompted redefinition of certain functions, influenced interpersonal relationships, and transformed traditional organizational structures into new institutional entities. Libraries today are faced with planning for automation within a rapidly changing and uncertain technological environment. Resource sharing under the circumstances plays a pivotal role. The paper addresses the various issues viz. establishment INFLIBNET and its role in automation of university libraries in India. The new initiative taken by the UGC to establish UGC-Infonet and E-subscription for the Universities gives required boost for the automation activity in the country.
