Methods Of Digital Library Usability
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2007-02-08) Naik, Umesha; Shivalingaiah, D
The digital library is the widely accepted term describing the use of digital technologies to acquire, store, preserve and provide access to information and material originally published in digital form or digitised from existing print, audio-visual and other forms. Today most institutions are providers of technology-based services and are often involved in the production of systems supporting their initiatives. When aiming to satisfy user needs and guarantee acceptable tools and environment for consuming the assets of institutions, it is necessary to be familiar with the main standards and guidelines regulating usability. In this paper the authors highlighted the methods, forms, and issues of digital library usability. Usability should not be confused with ‘functionality’, however, as this is purely concerned with the functions and features of the product and has no bearing on whether users are able to use them or not. Increased functionality does not mean improved usability. Comparable to any other system, a digital library must possess usability properties so it can be usable by the digital library’s users. Digital library usability properties can influence usability attributes and allow users to easily and effectively accomplish digital library tasks.

Region Of Quality Management Model For Knowledge Resource Management In University Libraries Of North Eastern India An Assam University Library Experience
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2007-02-08) Sinha, Manoj Kumar; Rao, Y Venkata; Bhattacharjee, Jayanta
Quality is a relative concept, closely linked to the level of user expectation and requirements. The relative nature of quality leads ultimately to excellence. Quality management includes effectiveness and efficiency rating, cost control, service assessment, user-oriented analysis. In the University system, libraries are the backbones to support the concept of quality academic functions. Unless and until, there is a quality approach in managing knowledge resources at library, it is difficult to expect quality of academic activities in university. In order to adapt to these new circumstances, universities are implementing new management procedures, and, for their part, university libraries are forced to make fundamental changes in order to conduct their business in line with managerial criteria. In this direction, an attempt has been made on Quality Management Model for Knowledge Resource Management and presented Assam University Library as a case study.

(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.
Impact of Information Technology (IT) On Knowledge Management (KM) : A Study
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2007-02-08) Payare Lal; Thakar, G S
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are simultaneously the cause and the effect in the growth of knowledge. For this reason, they play an important role in Knowledge Management (KM) but do not constitute a panacea and their establishment must be accompanied by determining actions on the part of management. Unlike some choices of implementation solutions, the selection of Knowledge Management( KM) tools cannot make do with a compartmentalized classification according to the functions of the software. It is more a question of relying on a global vision of the organization rather then focusing on software categories that are not always stripped in effects. This vision must be connected to an infrared image, pointing to knowledge flows as well as to obstacles to their diffusion, from which optimization, classical domains, these solutions must be based on organizational, human and sometimes technological actions, build with coherence.
