Abstract
The evolution of computer based matching of context profiles of information
with interest profiles of users has helped in the transformation of the
traditional SDl service to an electronic form in the central library of lIT,
Kharagpur. Electronic SDl was introduced in 1997. Based on the Current
Contents On Diskette (CCOO) database on three of the major thrust areas
i.e. i) physics, chemistry, earth science ii) engineering, computing and
technology, and iii) social, behavioural and earth sciences, the authors have
described the methodology adopted in the Central Library. The problems
faced and the future prospects are also mentioned. Besides opening new vistas
for paperless correspondence, the electronic SDl also provides opportunity for
the development of the expert database of faculty interest profiles.
