    Open Access Journals: A Study
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2008-11-06) Pandian, R; Nithyanandam, K; Dhanakar, M Arul; Rajasekar, V
    Open access journals are scholarly journals that are available to the reader “without financial or other barrier other than access to the internet itself.” Some are subsidized, and some require payment on behalf of the author. Subsidized journals are financed by an academic institution or a government information center; those requiring payment are typically financed by money made available to researchers for the purpose from a public or private funding agency, as part of a research grant. There have also been several modifications of open access journals that have considerably different natures: hybrid open access journals and delayed open access journals. Open access journals (sometimes called the “gold road to open access”) are one of the two general methods for providing open access. The other one (sometimes called the “green road”) is self-archiving in a repository. The publisher of an open Access journal is known as an open access publisher, and the process, open access publishing. The paper describes about the open access and open access journals. The benefits of the OAJ to researchers, for education, types of OAJ, the OAJ and the library, essential of OAJ, advantages and disadvantages of OAJ, current problems, criticism, history and links are discussed in this paper for the benefit of the research scholars.

    Now a days all libraries follow open access system to promote the use of materials. Due to that there is a chance of missing and replacement of books in the libraries. This is increased in any type of libraries day by day. The traditional method of stock verification is not able to do the work in a systematic way. To over come this problem, RFID technology has been introduced in Anna University for management of library. This paper discusses the need for book checking and managing of library through RFID library management system in Anna University Library. This can be activated by using a new emerging technology known as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).

    Role of Librarians in Institutional Repositories
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2008-11-06) Dhanakar, M Arul; Nithyanandam, K; Pandian, R; Rajasekar, V
    This paper emphasizes on Institutional Repository which includes online locus for collecting, preserving, and disseminating — in digital form – the intellectual output of an institution, particularly a research institution. For a university, this would include material such as research journal articles, before (pre prints) and after (post prints) undergoing peer review, and digital versions of theses and dissertations, but it might also include other digital assets generated by normal academic life, such as administrative documents, course notes, or learning objects. Institutional repositories have become an indispensable component for information and knowledge sharing in the scholar world. This paper discusses the role of Librarians in Institutional Repositories.
