Push Technology for leveraging Current Awareness Services on World Wide Web: Opportunities for Cyber Librarian
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2002-02) Nageswara Rao, K; Karisiddappa, C R
With growing interest in the Internet, more specifically, the World Wide Web, over the past few years and rapid growth in the number of users, the volume of information carried by the Internet has increased dramatically both in sheer size and diversity. In addition, vast amount of information on the Web is publicly available to users with uncontrolled, unstructured, and drastically changing nature. Internet search engines, meta-search engines and subject directories have contributed, to a certain extent, in finding information required by the user. However, it is a time consuming task because the user has to actively search relevant information. In the context of Internet and World Wide Web, keeping completely current with all latest information available is an impossible task. But, majority of services such as the Current Awareness Services, alert service table of contents of journals, new books, standards, patents, Web page monitors, E-Newsletter and daily news digests, etc. are based on the concept called push technology for delivering latest literature right to the end-user’s desktop through e-mail as soon as published. When full-fledged features of the push technology are utilized for providing current awareness service using Web resources, it will not only open new opportunities to the librarians but also to the end-users to keep up-to-date with latest literature. The article describes the opportunities open for the Cyber Librarian, advantages and down sides of push technology, push models, types of notifications and user interfaces, and active current awareness services on World Wide Web that are relevant to the library profession.

(INFLIBNET Centre, 2002-02) Dabas, K C
The paper attempts to measure the level and status of best library practices and services of university library systems amidst drastic and dramatic changes in the global information environment. Describes that dynamic changes in the environment upset the static balances in the users, provides services, products and consultations. The library paradigm is shifting from storehouse model of information provision to “access” or “Gateway” model. Emphasizes that some sort of intervention is needed to put the same in order and bring equilibrium between the users and providers. Also describes that TQM is an intervention to bring radical changes in the system. With that aim in mind this paper examines and ausits the strengths and weaknesses of nine university libraries through TQM. Conceptualises the term TQM and reengineering in the context of library and information services. Points out that the aim of TQM and reengineering in the context of university libraries is to provide local and global information as a unified transaction from the same terminal. The induction of IT in all spheres of human activities have forced the university libraries to attain require competencies and information infrastructure to interface the problems, challenges opportunities and impending threats. Information management of this sort is nothing but application of information technology (IT) in all house keeping, networking, resource sharing and other advanced information handling activities. To cope with the changing needs of information the forms of information resources are also changing at a fast pace that is clearly visible from the long journey from ‘shruti’in vedic age to the Internet and digital resources. Library literature also reveals that convergence of print and digital technology is necessary condition for qualitative library services. To that end an attempt is made to measure that level of IT application with regard to forms of reading material, forms of periodicals, hardware and software facilities initiation of computerisation, status of housekeeping operations, retrieval services, application in library administration and management (MIS), size of in-house databases, and access to major networks and their services, particularly the use of Internet based services in all the nine university libraries under study. This is a sort of auditing of the existing scenario. Also suggests measures to reengineer the library management, structure, organisation, services, information infrastructure, and competencies to cope with the situation.

Resource Sharing in Digital Environment through Internet: Problems and Prospects
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2002-02) Dhiman, Anil Kumar
The libraries exist in many forms and are of many types. With the advancement of information technology, we have image libraries, audio libraries and even digital libraries. A digital library may simply be defined as the library, which has all the documents in the digital form rather than the print media. In traditional libraries, we have the documents in printed forms while in case of digital libraries; all the documents are found in digitized forms. A library can serve at least three roles in learning, viz.; first, practical role in sharing expensive sources like physical and human resources, secondly, cultural role in preserving and organizing artifacts and ideas and thirdly social and intellectual roles by bringing together people and ideas. The libraries serve as centers of interdisciplinary places shared by learners from all disciplines. Digital libraries extend such interdisciplinary approach by making diverse information resources available beyond the physical space shared by a group of learners. Digital libraries have been in use for the last three decades, but there is a constant change and improvement in the technology used by digital libraries in the last decade. By the 1990’s, the technology made it possible for digital libraries to include different items like text, image, audio and video. Nowadays, visual information systems are gaining more popularity as compared to text based information systems. Therefore, digital libraries are becoming more graphical in nature and they provide access to digital information collections. The digitalization is the process of conversion of any fixed or analog media – books, journal articles, photos, paintings, microforms into electronic form though scanning, sampling or even reeking. It is the creation of digital collection of information with multimedia features, that offer faster and easy access to a large number of users. In digitization, the documents are either scanned from print image or directly reproduced in digital form on Floppy, CDs, DVDs and other digital media. The digitalization process provides solutions to traditional library problems such as conservation, preservation, storage, multimedia documents, remote access to information collection and acquisition or original digital works created by publishers, agencies and scholars, access to external material not held in-house by providing pointers to website, other library collection and publishers servers. Though, there are various means of resource sharing like, telephone, fax, xeroxing and e-mail etc. (Dhiman, 1998) but the Internet is one of the media over which many library resources are put in the form of web sites in digitized form. The users can access the information from such sites in digitized form. This paper discusses some important issues regarding Internet uses in library and its role in resource sharing in digital environment.

Professional Competency in the Internet Era
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2002-02) Padmini, K
My vision of library and information professionals in the emerging information society is that they would be required to combine the skills of traditional librarianship with those of a communicator, information analyst, web master, and net surfer “ _ Dasgupta. Recent developments like Internet and the emergence of digital libraries have forced to change the way the librarian functions at present. They have to think of ‘access’ rather than simply ‘possession’ of documents. His function is not to identify a document but to deliver the actual information to cater to the needs of the users. Internet is a tidal wave and that is the most talked about subject in library and information science field.
