(INFLIBNET Center, 2006-01-01) Chavan, G R; Gandhi, R T D R; Rathod, M L; S, Raghavendra
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.

Portal Approach to Library Websites : Libraries Need to Discover New Integrated Platforms
(INFLIBNET Center, 2006-02-02) Malhan, I V; Rao, Shivarama
The advent of the World Wide Web and digitisation of publications have resulted in the proliferation of a vast amount and format of content types. Initiatives such as cyber infrastructure recommended by the NSF foundation provide specifications for accessing data, information support the emerging collaborative processes within sciences and includes several components relevant for libraries. Libraries are rapidly changing and expanding to web-based delivery of content and related access services in order to conform to the changing information seeking methods and expectations of their users. Developing an understanding of changing user demands and the basic building blocks of a new architecture will be a challenge in our current library environment. Presently our current technical systems are organized around data (e.g. the catalogue, vendor-based indexes and publishers) or services (e. g. interlibrary-loan, circulation and reference). One approach is to design multitired architectures that include an integration layer providing programme level services for user level applications such as a portal. Web portals are seen as positive potential frameworks for achieving order out of chaos. The library portal is one approach to organize information resources and services in a way that supports the users’ needs. However, the library portal will not be the only starting point for access to the library. The future of library websites in fact lies in integration of different effective information management and need based service modules.

RFID Applications In Libraries
(INFLIBNET Center, 2006-02-02) Varma, A K; Ahmed, M Imtiaz
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) allows an item, for example a library book, to be tracked and communicated with by radio waves. This technology is similar in concept to a cell phone. RFID is a broad term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects. There are several methods of identification, but the most common is to store a serial number that identifies a person or object, and perhaps other information, on a microchip that is attached to an antenna (the chip and the antenna together are called an RFID transponder or an RFID tag). The antenna enables the chip to transmit the identification information to a reader. The reader converts the radio waves reflected back from the RFID tag into digital information that can then be passed on to computers that can make use of it

Rfid System : A Boon for Librarians
(INFLIBNET Center, 2006-02-02) Nisha, Faizul; Bakhshi, Samar Iqbal; Ali, P M Naushad
Radio Frequency Identification Systems (RFID) are increasingly used in libraries for automation of repetitive work such as lending or returning of items. The ability of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) to read multiple tags at once and ability to read without line of site reduces repetitive tasks. RFID enables more rapid updating of the library database enabling improved availability and circulation. Libraries, schools, the government, and private sector businesses are adopting radio frequency identification tags, or RFIDs - a technology that can be used to pinpoint the physical location of whatever item the tags are embedded in. The present paper is an attempt to describe major features of RFID technology, its benefits over barcode system, basic components and optional components with their effect on library system. Authors describe in the article, RFID is a boon for librarians as It further highlights the key functions of RFID in libraries like shelf charging –discharging, reliability, high speed inventorying, automated materials handling etc. and disadvantages like high cost, accessibility to compromise, reader collision, tag collision, and lack of standards. The paper also discusses the recent developments in RFID Systems as well as next generation use of RFID. The paper throws light on RFID initiatives in India. At the end some recommendations regarding the implementation of RFID System in libraries have been listed.

(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.
Knowledge Representation Through Semantic Web – An Architectural Overview
(INFLIBNET Center, 2006-02-02) U, Mini; M D, Baby; K, Poulose Jacob
The World Wide Web is growing at an exponential rate. There are more and more technologies being developed to provide different ways of accessing this huge information resource, as well as representing the information stored. Because of the increase in information available and people or agents accessing it, the issue of securing this information has become paramount. Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which the information is given well defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in co-operation.[1]. The web pages are designed to be read by humans and not machines. The Semantic Web is a project aimed to make web pages understandable by computers, so that they can search web sites and perform actions in a standardized way

Metadata Harvesting
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2006-02-02) Bhattacharya, Sanat
One of the key challenges facing information managers today is the need to inter-relate different sources and types of Information, whether it be in an internet search across a range of resources with different formats, data structures and description standards or an ecommerce system that needs to exchange data between proprietary applications in order to complete a transaction. Understanding the structure of the data allows this to occur and metadata is the means by which this happens. Using metadata to record data about Information sources allows an initial assessment of compatibility and provides an avenue for merging information or for exchanging Information between systems. In other wards the concept of “interoperability” has become a major theme for information managers and ultimately for users.
K-Portal at NID : An Information System Towards Knowledge Management
(INFLIBNET Center, 2006-02-02) Alexander, S Iruthaya
Portals are becoming the primary interface through which students, faculty, administrators and alumni interact with educational institutes. As a result, portals are rapidly becoming the most empowering strategic information system framework for institutional Information Technology (IT) solutions. Portals have become the most effective delivery mechanism for information creation, sharing and knowledge management strategy. The portal transforms the user’s access method from desktop to a secure “WebTop,” offering intelligent, integrated, and personalized access to enterprise services from anywhere, anytime. While humble in itself, the portal has the power and potential to transform institutions and make a significant contribution towards success. The goal of this paper is to assist in understanding or high lighting various aims, objectives, benefits, the role of Knowledge Management & Information Services (Library) as well as how it can be developed and implemented successfully for various other educational institutions by looking at the NID K-Portal model and architecture.
Library Portal : A Gateway of Information
(INFLIBNET Center, 2006-02-02) Zala, Lavji N; Patel, Niraj R
In the early days of the Net revolution most of companies launched their Net presence through corporate Websites. They used their websites to show their products and services with significant information content. As websites grew in number it became difficult for customer to locate or search the net for sites of their choice. Search engines thus emerged and went on to become key players, directing millions of surfers to various sites to get online search of their choice. However the phenomenal growth of search engines was accompanied by unprecedented choices opening up for the customer. This phase was marked by the transformation of search engines/directories into portals. Instead of competing on width offered by horizontal portals, players were forced to compete on depth. The libraries did not become aloof from the Net revolution. They also launched portals to attract the specific group of interest. This concept brought paradigm shift in the sense of “right information to right user from approaching relevant information”, “save the time of users from separating irrelevant information”, “educate the users for self search by arranging contents in specific manner”.
