Abstract: In the present knowledge or information society, whatever we may call it, is dominated by the largest global network offered by Internet technology. Networking is the pre-requisite of the present society to be member of it. Therefore, to become the member of the library, network has become essential without any scope for any option or alternatives. Inadequacy of resources of even biggest library of the world is the main feature of any library or resource center. Therefore, augmentation of resources at the minimum cost is the aim not only by adding own resources but use resources of other libraries. The present professional challenge is that resources may not be available in own collection, but are to be made accessible wherever these are available. As such dependence on external resources is increasing day by day. We have to borrow what we don’t have or develop a common repository by collective efforts, which requires not only willingness to begin the process but mission to achieve the objectives. Keeping in view the above points in mind this paper briefly discuss about the need of the Guwahati academic library network and objectives of networking among the academic libraries in the Guwahati city. Further it enumerates issues involved in establishing such network, point out the constraints and finally the suggestion for the success of such networks.

Abstract: Libraries and library professionals have tried to keep up with technological advances that impact information services. With the increase of resources on the web, librarians are exploring methods of integrating bibliographic resources found when searching or browsing the web. For instance there are currently some tools like citation managers, that librarians can collect some bibliographic data and can integrate it into in-house systems. So far libraries used technology but often those that needed human intervention to interpret. This paper aims discuss various a Semantic Web(SW)technologies that can be exploited for better and efficient management of resources enabling meaning representation so that data can be manipulated ‘with meaning and context’ by agents. SWTs offer a wide range of possible applications to meaningfully managing information resources.A typical ordering scenario is used to demonstrate the deployment of SW techniques.

Abstract: Reengineering as a management tool has been effectively used in many business organizations to transform vast segment of their operations and has played a major role in the resurgence of large companies world over. Reengineering requires radical rethinking and redesign of practices and processes to achieve dramatic improvements in performance while keeping the customer at the center of the exercise. Many libraries in developed countries have applied reengineering to face the challenges of declining library budgets, increasing costs of various inputs and resources, and rising demand of users for newer and faster services. Internet and information technology offer tremendous opportunities to abandon a number of old and obsolete practices and procedures, reduce time gap between the demand and delivery and considerably improve the quality of services and user satisfaction. This paper attempts to define reengineering and states how is it different from restructuring, reorganization, or quality improvement, though all these may occur as a by-product. Paper also reviews various attempts to reengineer libraries or their practices and processes. “How do we begin” lists the key elements that need to be taken care while reengineering. It highlights the need for reengineering of library acquisitions and enumerates key processes involved in the acquisition of print and electronic resources. Suggests that the reengineering of library acquisitions shall include reengineering of acquisition policy, acquisition processes, acquired material (library collection) and staff. Stresses the need for a well made plan to implement the reengineering which shall include (a) clear definition of the goals of the reengineering, (b) selecting the reengineering team, (c) identification and analysis of the policies, systems, procedures, practices and products to be reengineered, (d) developing and testing of reenginered work flow / processes, (e) implementation and time frame, and (f) gap analysis, correction. Reengineering will not be an easy task for any library. It is also not a one time job, it is a continuous long process. Librarians and libraries will face several challenges while implementing reengineering which can be overcome with the support and commitment of all stakeholders.

Abstract: Libraries have always had the ability to respond to the challenges of technology, from the printing press of the middle ages to the print explosion of the twentieth century, to the digital ‘print’ of today. Modern economic rationalism demands that libraries become more accountable for both the services they provide and the funds they expand. Such accountability requires libraries to investigate, analyze and, where necessary change the methods and processes they have traditionally undertaken to justify their very existence to funding bodies. Re-engineering is about changing to the way we do things. Re-engineering is reinventing the way one does business, by stepping back and examining values, goals, and the system processes used to meet these goals. Process redesign is often an outcome of this evaluation. The acquisition process is one prime process for re-engineering as it consists of a large number of easily identifiable routines which can be compartmentalized, and altered as required. This paper is case study of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University Library (DRBRAOUL) and its Acquisition Section and how to reengineer the Library Acquisitions.

Abstract: To cope up with the changes which is taken place in today’s globalize society no library can go towards the proper direction to satisfy their clients without a proper internet connectivity. The entire library has to provide internet as a service for in-house operation in the library. Internet has played a tremendous role to development of the society or in the field of library and information services. The development of E-Book and E-Publishing has challenged the traditional role among publisher’s book stores and library and information service in many ways. This paper throws light on how a user help by the library to give or provide internet based service with proper web sites and web address with the help of latest IT and communication technology.

Abstract: The introduction of new information and communication technologies, as well as the emergence and development of new techniques in information processing, storage, and dissemination have changed the role of all types of libraries in information dissemination. This has made libraries to supplement long-established services with online services to users, fulfilling any time and anywhere needs and expectations. The World Wide Web is a new powerful tool for reference librarians. Information which was once only available to large libraries with very high budgets is suddenly available to any library with Internet connections. Reference librarians themselves are participating in the electronic publication trade by creating Web pages and finding aids to assist both themselves and their users to locate information electronically on the World Wide Web. The web which poses a new challenge for librarians, offers major new tools and techniques to provide the powerful services. The present paper tries to focus new aspect of reference service. It also highlights the various efforts undertaken by different types of libraries in this direction. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/970 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The primary objective of libraries is to organize and provide access to information to its users. Most common users of a library are scientists, academicians, technical personnel, students. It is important to disseminate the research information arrived /available to the Users in addition to archived data. It is also very important that users must be aware of the various services provided by libraries. Library managers are required to send clear messages to the users that the business of library is to provide required information in the shortest possible time. In this era of information technology, attracting people to library is very difficult. Library Heads and staff should become proactive in providing and propagating the services and facilities available at the Library.Based on the interaction with many users, and analyzing their experiences, it is found that minimization of reaction time in providing the required information to the users is essential. In this paper, services and the initiatives taken by Library known as “Knowledge Centre (KC)” of Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) to bring awareness about the services provided by KC are presented. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is effectively utilized by the Knowledge Centre to achieve the objective of making available information required by Scientists in time to help them to devote more time in project activities rather spending time in searching for information.
