Information technology is an amalgam of some wonderful inventions of the 21th century in electronics and communication. During a very short span of time it has acquired an important place in almost all aspects of human life and particularly in the field of education. India has taken some bold steps to adapt and absorb the advances in information technology by constitution of national task force. Having missed the benefits of the industrial revolution as a result of more than two centuries of colonization, the country is overtaken by the information revolution. At the same time globalization having opened the doors wide to alien influence, the government has decided to take all steps to make India an IT super power by adoption of IT as a national program so as to enable personal and national growth. At the one end, some premier institutions are having access to all facilities in terms of educational technology such as multimedia system, LAN, WAN, and World Wide Web on the other hand a large number of university are still depending only on stereotyped lecture method in imparting knowledge. Therefore the existence of technology gap provides an opportunity to use IT supported education technologies for better delivery of education, easier access to a number of knowledge sources, sharing through networks and quality distance learning in management education. In this paper will cover the scope of web based learning, Technology of delivery system, Electronic Library, IT in Distance Education.

(INFLIBNET Center, 2006-02-02) Patil, S K; Chikate, R V; Wadekar, Priyanka; Joshi, Subhada
This paper introduce the structure and application theorem of the RFID system, discuss application models and issues when implement the RFID system. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have been used in libraries. These applications can lead to significant savings in staff costs, enhance service, prevent book theft and easy to stock verification, provide a constant update of library collections, holding management, but also attain real-time services. Due to the issues about reliability, insufficient, interfere with noise, cost and without killer application, therefore major library only experiment with RFID for holding management. RFID provided with these characters of batch access, storage mass data, and reprogram that were barcode cannot archive. Integrate both parent and holding with functions of RFID to extend various application. Just replace barcode and magnetic strip then archive there advantages for book identification, for the sorting and conveying of library books and AV materials, not only realize precise. The most important issue is that libraries can use nonproprietary systems today because the new generation of RFID chips with the ISO standard 15693 is available.

Integrated Electronic Warehouse Receipt Management
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2006-02-02) Dwivedi, S K; Diwakar, Sanjay K
Dynamic Web content provides us with time-sensitive and continuously changing data. To glean up-to-date information, users need to regularly browse, collect and analyze this Web content. Without proper tool support this information management task is tedious, timeconsuming and error prone, especially when the quantity of the dynamic Web content is large, when many information management services are needed to analyze it, and when underlying services/network are not completely reliable. Electronic Warehouse Receipt is not a new concept. Electronic data has given the prospect of eliminating paper documents, reducing costs and improving efficiency by exchanging business information in electronic form. The objective of this paper is developing an Integrate Electronic Warehouse Receipt Management System for Indian agriculture market which supports services like trading, latest price information, electronic warehouse receipt and making all these services available on internet as well as IVR (Interactive Voice response) and Simple Messages Services. Although many agriculture e-business platforms exist in the market but they don’t ensure that the commodity is actually held by the seller and the quantity and quality are as mentioned. To solve this problem we have come with the concept of Electronic Warehouse Receipt (EWR) which is the same as the concept of ‘dematerialization of shares’ or ‘demat’ in short.

Librarians Role In Dealing With Irs And Open Access
(INFLIBNET Center, 2006-02-02) Sridevi, J; Jolly, Surabhi; Satyanarayana, N R; V, Shalini
The article presents a brief overview of Open Acess, IRs and Librarians role. Universities and other institutions can have complex motives for establishing IRs; providing free access to all IR materials is often one of them. Open access initiatives may focus on technical support costs of IRs, while librarians may also be concerned with various other problems such as staff and user training and support, IR advocacy and promotion, metadata creation and maintenance, and long-term digital preservation etc. Consequently, we can see IRs as cheap to support and quick to implement, while as librarians we can take a more cautious approach that takes in to consideration other constraints and the library maxim that it is easier to establish a new service than to stop offering one. IRs are best seen as an enabling technology for open access and as their best hope for establishing permanent repositories.
