    An Overview of the Subject Gateway: Materials Science
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2003-02) Accanoor, Kalyani
    The primary objective and functions of libraries have not changed due to computerization. Only, the tools and techniques to achieve these objectives with ease and accuracy have. In the present day the focus is on Electronic Information. Thus it is not only acquiring, sources of information but providing access to information and sharing also. With the Internet, WWW and Information explosion, identification and extraction of information resources is an essential function of all libraries and information centers. The Electronic information sources are rapidly growing and with a wide variety in form and content it takes a lot of time to get the required information. There is thus a need to organize and classify this wide spectrum of information. With this as background, the author has created a web page providing information to not only the internal sources at the Central Library, I.I.T Bombay but also links to external electronic information sources in the field Materials Science.

    Transition in Information Services : A Digital Experience
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2005-02-02) Accanoor, Kalyani
    Web based resources have become increasingly important to the Academic community where the thrust is on on-going Research, Time bound projects and Consultancy. With information being added at a tremendous rate on the Net it becomes difficult to find the required information easily. The expectations from the users are its services. From the library and the librarian’s point of view the services should reflect the users quest for information. Services are the strength of any Library as they are no longer mere store houses. Reference service is one service that still retains its content, glory and importance. Reference service concerns with the internal and external resources through the Internet and other networks. These services are provided not only personally but also through electronic means. Most users go for a Google search still thinking how could the search strategy be better. Most times the answers lie in their Libraries without them knowing. A module E-Ref Desk on the lines of Ask a Librarian is designed to answer such queries.
