In Mysore city there are more than 30 academic and research libraries. The investigators have taken only 23 libraries for the study. Out of 23 libraries 17 libraries have computers. In these 17 libraries only 14 libraries have automated their library operations. In this study the investigators have touched various aspects related to library automation. The libraries that have not automated have given reasons for the delay to start automation work. Many libraries have network connections for sharing the information. The libraries operate with MYLIBNET, DELNET and INFLIBNET networking programmes. In many libraries the professional and semi professional staff are involved in data entry work.Keywords

The impact factor of a scientific journal is a statistical tool to measure the number of times an author from the journal is cited by other authors. This is therefore, of great interest and importance to scientists, journal editors, authors and publishers. The escalating subscription costs and the obvious need of scientists to rely/refer journals with articles most cited, has given rise to this studyKeywords

Open source movement plays a significant role in the development of Open Education Resources in higher education. Open source eLearning courseware (OSeLCW) is an initiative within this movement. Nowadays, many institutions particularly in developed and developing countries are involved in designing and developing web-based OSeLCW platforms in order to distribute their courses free of cost and to be accessed openly by users all over of the world. Usability is a key factor for the success of such web-based eLearning platforms. In the context of eLearning, the concept of Usability has two dimensions; Technical and Pedagogical. This paper concerns with technical usability of web-based OSeLCW platforms and presents specific evaluation tool in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of such promising e-learning environments.Keywords

The research work is undertaken to study the effective use of Web Online Public Access Catalogue (Web-OPAC) in engineering college libraries in Karnataka. The main objective of the study was to examine the primary data is obtained from the cross section of user community through questionnaires. The importance of knowing the various search facilities available on effective use of integrated library software packages and their services, the engineering college libraries have started using advanced information technology in providing services to the users. Web-OPAC is one of the major services. The present study is an attempt to know the use of web-OPAC by the users. The study revealed that the tool is useful and at the same time respondents felt that there must be user orientation needed for the Web-OPAC, to help in retrieving the required documents. Examines the utilization and satisfaction of users about Web-OPAC and highlights the suggestions made by the users for the further improvement.Keywords

The article deals with human action and the information flow which shall be the two most dominant inputs to any strong development strategy. For this, the right information needs to be in the hands of the right people at the right time. The success does not rely on an individual’s knowledge, but the knowledge of the organization. Nowadays the information professionals are responsible for keeping relevant information, which supports the work of individual. There is enough scope for information professionals in all types of organizations.

Investigators have made an attempt to explain the important aspects of Internet, the Internet being a computer network made up of thousands of networks worldwide. No one knows exactly how many computers are connected to the Internet. Internet and Internet based information resources are essential to overcome the distance barrier in information explosion, and it also saves the time, when searching the literature in electronic form and allows to identify the resources. Presently, Internet based information resources are increasingly used for various purposes. The teachers, research scholars and students of higher education use Internet to keep themselves up to date. The present study explains/gives an insight into why people are interested and what is their attitude towards the use of Internet based information resources and Internet use.Keywords

The postindustrial society is marked as the information centered society. The emergence of Information Communication Technologies (ICTS) has posed both challenges and opportunities for the present generation. The societies such as Indian, which missed out the great revolutions in the past, are able to catch up with the present IT revolution. But in most of the Latin American, African and the South Asian countries scenario is pretty dim. It is due to the emergence of the digital divide. This divide is similar to the economic divide in the past of ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’. All over the world efforts are on to bridge this digital divides. The prominent players hail from all the three sectors viz.: public, private and the social sector. Thos article presents the current scenario and some of the strategies adopted in overcoming the digital divide. It emphasis the roles of major institutions, NGO's and some of the countries which are constantly working toward the solving this problem. This article benefits the student and faculty of IT, information science and those who are generally interested in understanding the Digital Divide.Keywords
