(INFLIBNET Centre, 2002-02) Satish, K. M; Jayashree, S
The world wide web has become an undisputed and powerful medium to integrate multiple information sources and services on the part of the libraries, leading to continual development of new applications and services. Efficient implementation of existing services and an opportunity for delivering information to the desktop of remote and local users has become an immediate priority on the part of the libraries. Locally owned resources like the OPAC, locally hosted electronic journals and databases, alerting services like new additions and content pages, and integrating host of other services call for an unpretentious approach for successful information services. In this paper an effort has been made to study the functions of various indexing and retrieval tools available on the web for their understanding and experience with standard indexing practices facilitating accurate and efficient data retrieval leading to the abstraction of digital library.

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.

Network based Information Services – a Glance at IGM Library, University of Hyderabad
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2002-02) Ganesan, P; Srinivasulu, P
Now a days network based information services have become more useful, affordable, available and usable. In network based information system, users can work simultaneously with multiple distributed information sources that differ in content, form and source types. Libraries serve at least three roles in learning. They serve practical role in sharing expensive resources – both physical and human resources. Libraries serve a cultural role in preserving and organizing artifacts and ideas. Third, libraries serve as a centers of interdisciplinary places shared by learners from all disciplines. If the library is networked, it extends such interdisciplinary approach by making diverse information resources available beyond the physical space shared by a group of learners apart from providing internal resources to the local users as well as remote users. One clear differentiation between traditional libraries and electronic libraries is that electronic libraries offer to deposit as well as use information. Electronic libraries allow storage of information in electronic form, communication from any place to obtain material, copying or taking print out from any place. So, this paper discusses about the network, Internet, Internet resources and services to our user community and remote users also.
