    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2002-02) Rama Reddy, E
    Developments in Electronic Publishing and creation of Electronic Documents are facilitating in the establishment of Digital Libraries. Digital Libraries are being implemented by people who work not only within conventional libraries but also by people who do not consider themselves librarians or publishers. The World Wide Web has created new professions. Research in digital libraries has become a vibrant academic sub-discipline, with computer scientists working along with economists, sociologists, lawyers and librarians. This is an interdisciplinary body of expertise, which is emerging. The paper outlines the developments in the e-Publishing, e-Documentary sources, copyright and intellectual property rights and organization of these documents and the impact on the Library and Information Centers.

    Strategic Planning and Catalysts for New Generation of Libraries
    (Inflibnet Centre, Ahmedabad, 2004-02) Rama Reddy, E
    Strategic Planning in Libraries is absolutely necessary in view of the present day rapid advances in technology. Most libraries are in the area of education and research, in a college or University supporting both teaching and research. Strategic planning should be a cooperative effort with inputs from administration, the computer center personnel, faculty, students and the library staff. Role of librarian is increasingly important during the strategic planning, as educator and leader within the process, whether the process happens within the library or in the Institution. The strategic plan developed should offer a pattern that integrates major goals, policies and actions of the institution into a cohesive whole. It should help allocate resources, capitalize on relative strengths and mitigate against weaknesses etc. This paper details well defined strategic plans for the library to set a clear direction, allow looking at the strengths and weaknesses with the environment, and devoting resources to strengthen support in the core areas of teaching and research.
