Management Information Systems are tools designed to improve management decisions. A changing user population, technology enhancement transformation of scholarly communication system, digital libraries, new approaches to management, renewed commitment to planning and assessment, financial constraints, declining budget, information gluts, constant change in IT ,web services, reader's expectations for 24 x 7 services, time shortage etc are compelling MIS to be mandatory in libraries. The present Study offers measures to library effectiveness and automation, offers tools for better reader services through integrated and collaborative working of neighboring libraries, and projects Management Information System as the tool for realizing expectations from libraries of modern world.
As per guidelines of National Knowledge Commission Report 2009, UGC and NAAC recommendations, creation of Knowledge Grid and resource sharing among university libraries of Chhattisgarh has been suggested. Present status of MIS in 8 University Libraries of Chhattisgarh has been studied and model has been proposed for MIS and resource sharing among them. Impact of IT on libraries, exponential growth of information, applications of MIS in libraries, and its significance and performance measurement has been elaborated. A Software has been designed that enables MIS through integrated database.

In the current scenario, when the whole world is going digital and Internet enabled, it is worthwhile to have a look as to how Libraries - the centers of education can benefit from this terminology. The paper outlines all about the term - 'Web Content Management' (WCM) and the intricacies it brings. This paper is an attempt to make the reader technically and contemporarily aware as to how the buzz about WCM can be better understood and utilized for the optimum usage in library science discipline.
This paper explains as to what is WCM- the process and the software. The needs and advantages for WCM are discussed along with the challenges it brings. The paper also tries to bring up the technology perspective of WCM by discussing how the selection of a WCM should be done.
Last, but not the least, with the help of an example, an attempt has been made to sensitize the reader of this paper as to how close we are to the adoption of the global phenomena - WCM in our libraries.
