(INFLIBNET Centre, 2007-02-08) G Rathinasabapathy
Invisible Web which is also known as ‘Deep Web’ or ‘Hidden Web’ refer to information content that is ‘invisible’ to conventional search engines. Public information on the invisible web is currently around 500 times larger than the commonly defined World Wide Web. Nearly 550 billion individual documents are available in the invisible web while the surface web has around only one billion documents. It has been estimated that around 2,00,000 invisible web sites exist on the Information Superhighway at present and is the largest growing category of new information on the Internet. The total quality content of the invisible web is also greater than that of the surface web and highly relevant to every information need, market and domain. But, a larger portion of the invisible web is missing from search engines’ results pages. In this context, this paper attempts to characterize the deep web’s content and relevance to information seekers and profile special tools available to mine the invisible web.

Information and Knowledge Management
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2007-02-08) Kannappanavar, B U; Rajanikanta, S T
Though literature on information and knowledge management is vast, there is much confusion concerning the meaning of these terms. According to the literature review, technology-oriented information management includes data management, information technology management and strategic information technology management. The main emphasis of these approaches is the effective and efficient use of information technology. In contrast, content-oriented approaches focus on information and its use. They can be distinguished in records management, provision of external information, human-centered information management, and information resources management. The reading of the literature on knowledge management reveals that this term is either used synonymously for information management or for the management of work practices with the goal of improving the generation of new knowledge and the sharing of existing knowledge. This article identifies various aspects that are embraced by the terms information and knowledge management. Thus, it should contribute to more terminological clarity and finally improve communication both in science and in professional practice.

Open-Source Software and Knowledge Management in Digital Context: Issues and Implications
(Inflibnet centre, 2007-02-08) Singh, Jagtar
Open-source software (OSS) is a utility to empower the non-elite individuals and institutions to manage knowledge and develop low cost virtual libraries. It is an attempt to keep the software market away from monopolies and enable the non-elite institutions to build sustainable institutional repositories. Though OSS has made profound impact in the public domain worldwide, yet there is an urgent need to sensitize the stakeholders in India to enable them to learn about the benefits of open-source software and promote the concept and practice behind the movement. Only this way we can ensure diversity, equity, quality and equality, and flexibility in our products and services. Raising awareness among the non-elite about the open-source software is essential for managing knowledge and developing an egalitarian society. Open-source software has the potential to contain the twin perils of digital divide and digital determinism. Institutional repositories and WIKI-Space are the right step in preserving and disseminating our documentary heritage. This paper highlights the recommendations made by the National Knowledge Commission pertaining to the cutting-edge of Open-source software and knowledge management. It also raises a few issues that need immediate attention to empower the info-poor and develop an inclusive society. Implications of open-source software and knowledge management have also been pointed out.
Data Mining Techniques for Dynamically Classifying and Analyzing Library Database
(Inflibnet centre, 2007-02-08) Dwivedi, Roopesh Kumar; Bajpani, R P
Huge amount of data and information is originating in the information era. Library automation can provide some relief, but data mining techniques have to be used for dynamically analyzing the library database and to make strategic decisions for managing the library in an efficient manner. Data mining is the exploration and analysis of large quantities of data in order to discover meaningful patterns and rules. Practical data mining can accomplish a limited set of tasks and only under limited circumstances. For library, it can play an important role by dynamically analyzing library database especially data related to the acquisition and circulation. No single data mining tool and technique is equally applicable. In commercial application, data mining is usually employed on very large database. This paper gives the clear picture of some of the most common association rule data mining techniques which can be applied to the library database and it outcomes.

Supporting Teachers and Learners Online in an Open Learning Environment: A Web-Based Library Portal for Open
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2007-02-08) Seneviratne, Wathmanel
The paper proposes a model which focuses on a strategy to implement successful open learning support system with a productive collaboration with the faculty. The learner is supported for his open learning correspondence through value added services and information products introduced through the virtual library portal. The Internet enabled library portal is a focused interactive learning space where information flow is targeted to the learning contacts and assignments at hand of the student. The portal is one stop shop model where the user is provided with the learning activity support and the information access facility. Information access facility, though conventional, is converted into flexible mode using modern learning and communication software. The learning activity support is developed into a value added service where the user is supported through faculty-library collaborative development of information products and services where most of the relevant products are available in the digitized environment for the studentship of both distance and on campus. Ultimate objective of the portal strategy is to provide the distance user with learning and literary support through Internet technology.

(Inflibnet centre, 2007-02-08) Singh, Ajay P; Khan, M T M; Chauhan, Suresh K
Emergence of electronic information has changed modes of communication, information demands of users and information management system in the libraries. Innovation in the field of information and communication technology is boosting research and development activities all around the world. Earlier libraries were facing various problems for managing print documents rescued by the electronic resources. The consortia initiatives are mushrooming in the world rapidly. UGC-Infonet: E-Journals Consortium launched by the University Grants Commission (UGC) through Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) Centre is considered one of the best consortium models in the globe. The consortium is subscribing thousands of fulltext electronic journals and databases and making them available online to 120+ universities of the country. A notable usage of electronic resources has been observed in the first three years of operation of the consortium. But millions of articles downloaded by the member universities are not being re-managed for further use. Through this paper an attempt is made to lay emphasis on an urgent need to manage downloaded scholarly e-contents with the help of various e-documents management software (OSS) keeping in mind the copyright limitations.
Biometric Authenticated Library Network Model for Information Sharing
(Inflibnet centre, 2007-02-08) Gonsai, Atul M; Soni, Nilesh N
To provide the security to the library network or any other network, nowadays we have various newly developed mechanisms to provide security in the form of identifying the user and allowing specific access to the user. User Authentication can be achieved by the way of user name and password but it has very less level of impact to identify the proper user. For this reason the new mechanism like computer access is granted by checking a fingerprint. One can use Biometric Authentication Technique to apply in the library network to provide high level of security to identify the proper user. Biometric-based authentication applications include workstation and network access, application logon, data protection, and remote access to resources, transaction security. This paper discusses the application of Biometric authentication technologies in the field of library network by way of the library model which uses Biometric authentication in the form fingerprint scanning to identify the user and then gets the library resource.
