Application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Information Management
(INFLIBNET Center, 2004-11) Chauhan, Suresh Kumar; Murthy, T A V
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has a very vast meaning and it has been dominating each and every aspect of this universe. Due to ICT only whole world has been become a global village and the other side ICT is accelerating information explosion, which leads to the problem of bibliographical control. But there are some tools, which can help us to manage these digital contents in a systematic order for use. The concept of digital library is very much suitable for information management. Here, we have Greenstone and DSpace Open Source Software for content creation, which are being used for maintaining an institutional repository. After content creations, the objective should be accessing these contents globally, for this purpose we need some broadband networks. In India, UGC-Infonet is the example for such kind of country-wide network which is being responsible for improving the higher educational system in the country with state-of-the-art technology. Now contents and infrastructure with strong network are with us, UGC-Infonet: E-Journals Consortium is one of the good examples which show that how we can facilitate the educational system across the country through this kind of ICT system.

Building an Image Repository for Indian Cultural Heritage Materials – A Digital Library Approach
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2005-11-10) Lalitha, P; Murthy, T A V; Khan, M T M; K, Manoj Kumar
Digitization has immense potential to store, preserve, disseminate and redistribute cultural materials, if the materials are captured in a bit stream format so as to enable to access through network for learning and understanding the history and culture of a civic society. Generally these materials are stored in museums or in libraries, but they can be spread over the globe and with the spread of the Internet, such contents can be made available to any corner of the world. Universal access implicitly assumes a largely unidirectional flow of information from the developed world to the developing world but the latter is often richer in traditional wisdom, crafts, and cultural artifacts: digital technologies have the potential to preserve that heritage and make it accessible. For developing an Image Repository for photographs of Ancient cultural material by using the advanced digital technology is a challenge, which include description of the photographs of Indian cultural Heritage Materials, Creating Metadata from the sample, Mapping the created metadata with Dublin Core, Developing an Image Repository System using Digital Library open source software etc. This paper is the result of the case study of such an attempt by the authors on exploring Open Source Digital Library Software, DSpace, for preserving the cultural heritage materials.

(INFLIBNET Center, 2006-02-02) Chauhan, Suresh K; Murthy, T A V
Information is a driving force in the world and intensely making impact on economy, development and social growth of any nation. Emergence and innovations in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is dividing the Universe in different dissection. This division is broadly known as ‘Digital Divide’ on the world map. Today, no one is going to deny the existence of digital divide. The Digital Divide is a well-known concept and is being defined by the specialists in different ways. In this paper an attempt has been made to identify the factors that are responsible for digital divide with some solutions are explained. All around the world various programmes have been launched to bridge the digital gap but despite many efforts to improve this gap seems to grow wider and wider due to the inability of those who lack the knowledge and skills needed to use the electronic contents, Internet or other communication technology. In India various programmes have been launched to bridge this digital gap and this paper explains the Role of INFLIBNET through its programme “UGC-Infonet: E-Journals Consortium which is one of the step towards bridging the digital divide in the country.
Indian Academia on Copyright and IPR issues of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2005-02-02) Vijayakumar, J K; Khan, M T M; Murthy, T A V
The idea of E- Theses and Dissertations (ETD) is coming up in International scenario, which can be easily located, readily accessible and delivered over the web. This paper analyzing the opinions of selected Ph D Researchers and Guides from selected Indian Universities on Copyright and IPR issues related to ETDs. On the basis of the output, the paper suggests that Universities can start collecting e-format of theses, creating a digital archive for easy access. But in terms of access, still only a minimum majority is favoring online global access to Indian research. This may be because of Copy Right Issues, Chances of Plagiarism and Poor Quality in Research, which may be solved through policy frameworks and enhancing standards through national agencies like UGC at national level.

Is the Big Deal Mode of E-Journal Subscription a Right Approach for Indian Consortia ? A Case Study of Elsevier’s ScienceDirect Use at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2005-02-02) Singh, Yogendra; Murthy, T A V
Big deal or the consortia site licensing is the most preferred way of e-journal subscription for Indian Consortia be it INDEST or the UGC Infonet. In the big deal model all the journals published by a publisher or hosted by an aggregator on its web site are made available to the consortia members at a so called “highly reduced” price. It has been seen that the librarians throughout the world haves been raising objections to this mode since beginning. There are various concerns which have been identified such as monopoly of the publishers, use of a limited number of titles, effect of citation ranking of journals published by the small publishers and the fear of death of journals published by the developing countries. Though a number of articles have been published on this topic but most of them have been on the qualitative aspects of such deals. There are a few studies that have been conducted on quantitative aspects. In this paper a study of use of Elsevier’s ScienceDirect at IIT Roorkee has been presented which clearly shows that a very limited number of titles are frequently used in the Institute. This data clearly indicates that the Big Deal mode of subscription is not at all in the favour of the consortia. Supports an alternate model for subscription which should be based on the fixed fee access to the limited set of journals which are frequently used and pay for use for the journals which are less frequently used.
Knowledge Management and Resource Discovery using Peer to Peer Network
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2003-02) Murthy, T A V; Dube, Sonia
The success of Knowledge management frame work in an organization depends on the timely and precise updation of the data, tools and techniques used for Information exploration. The Traditional approach of Client Server model requires the data to be pooled at a central place and all clients access this central database for access to the information, which usually requires lot of manual efforts for data collection and maintenance of the database. With recent advancement and popularity of the Peer to Peer Network architecture, we have explored the possibility of the use of such type of architecture for Knowledge Management and Resource discovery. This will ensure timely updation of database and de-centralized mode of data archival.
