The need for reliable Content Management System (CMS) becomes more and more obvious. A Content Management System allows content to be stored, retrieved, edited, updated, controlled, then output in a variety of ways such that the incremental cost of each update cycle and output production shrinks dramatically over time. Since the amount of information is emerging day to day at a tremendous speed, to find particular information in the mist of information explosion is very difficult and so there is an urgent need for content or knowledge management and services to be adopted in Libraries. Content management is as set of tasks and processes for managing content explicitly targeted for publication throughout its life from creation to archive. CMS are essential for large or even small scale projects which involve the capture of creation of digital assets and is necessary for the creation of any basic Web sites. This paper explains about the concepts of content management, its components, needs and advantages. How the contents can be created, accessed and managed in the digital environment have also been discussed in this paper.Item Content Management : A new Role for 21 st Century LIS Professionals(INFLIBNET Center, 2004-11) lakshmi, R S R VaraThe web and intranet environments permanently altered the way the library and information centers handle information activities.

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.
