The present study briefly describes the various endeavours of the government and non government organizations in Karnataka state by creating E- initiatives projects to bridge the digital divide.

Abstract

Reviews the literature on Information support to economically weaker women. Notes that woman is a component of the society and still she is least beneficiary in view of her inherited characters and roles. She has diverse information needs. This paper traces the sources of information that woman prefer, community information she requires, efforts made by the state and central governments. Also discusses the role of libraries and ICT in providing information support to women. Recommends that enough information should be provided in the needed areas and adult literacy and economic empowerment programmes should be given serious attention to enhance their access to needed information. The information needs of women farmers in these locations should therefore be tailored along the preferred needs.

Abstract

The libraries in school level play an important role in developing and improving the child psychology, learning capacity and also help in supporting the curriculum needs of the teachers and pupils. But it is noted that majority of the schools in India as well as in Karnataka state have no library. Even though few schools are having libraries, there is inadequate infrastructure, such as, lack of independent building, less collection kept in closed access, management of library by non-library professionals, shortage of reading room and furniture, etc. The present study is made to assess the problems of the school libraries in Gulbarga city. The paper revealed that there are 184 school libraries and the present study covered about 144 school libraries. It is also noted that of these school libraries under the study, only 88 schools are having their own libraries. The paper included the different problems such as library professionals, independent library building, collection, etc. The paper concluded with the remarks that the authority of the schools and government has to establish the libraries in their schools and also solve problems of school libraries in different aspects.

Abstract

Based on the study of two hundred and four post-graduate students of Gulbarga University, the relative importance of information sources among the post-graduate students in a university environment is emphasised. The study reveals that books, newspapers, popular magazines, class notes, notes of seniors, are the most useful sources of information. General dictionaries, subject dictionaries, subject encyclopedia and scientific periodicals are also useful sources for the post-graduate students. Memoranda, diaries and letters, CD databases, trade catalogs, theses/dissertations, microforms, laboratory notes, handbooks, human sources, course materials of Open Universities, guide to subject literature, directories, statistical sources, biographical sources, library catalog, almanacs, manuals, geographical sources, research reports, are never used by a majority of post-graduate students. Based on statistical tests, the study concludes that the personal attributes viz., gender, year of study, medium of instruction at under-graduate and post graduate level, area of habitation, stay at hostels, marital status, and frequency of visits to University library have no bearing on the use of specific sources of information.

Abstract

Reports the survey of five hundred and seventy one college libraries in Kamataka State with regard to classification of books, use of classification scheme, provision of book numbers, method used for providing book numbers, problems faced in classifying and the reasons for not classifying the books. It is found that three hundred and eighty-four of five hundred and seventy-one college libraries classify the books. DDC (209) and CC (140) are the schemes chiefly used. Book numbers are provided in two hundred and sixty-eight college libraries out of which one hundred and seventy-nine college libraries follow Ranganathan's book number. Inadequate staff (N= 216), inter-disciplinary nature of books (N=128) and identification of specific subjects (N=77) are the major problems in classifying the books. Inadequate staff (N=150). insufficient funds to purchase the classification schedules (N=77), lack of support from the authorities (N=39), and lack of interest (N=15) are the major reasons for not classifying the books. Concludes that unless the problems are solved or minimized it is difficult to expect the college librarians to classify the books.

Abstract

This articles deals with the application of social media in school libraries, whether school library is part of the school website or the institution has a separate website for the libraries in order to fulfil the knowledge thirst of the student community. Institutions are using social media in order to promote their services. Social media is the one possibility to engage with the young minds in a way that is not rigidly focused on education.A content analysis of 51 school websites in and around Mumbai and Navi Mumbai shows that how the libraries are being used as part of their (Institutional) marketing strategies. It can be concluded that more policies are to be framed and should be brought into practice for the school libraries and LIS professionals at school level for the development of future generation that too in Indian Context.

Abstract

Analyses the employers' expectations of library and information professionals reflected through job descriptions released in the form of 645 job postings on LIS Forum from T' January 2007 to 31" December 2009 The results indicate that computer and communication skills are required and that an additional qualification along with MLISc is being preferred. At the same time a large number of job postings do not reveal necessary information required for the post. The paper concludes that for an effective recruitment of LIS professionals and better understanding between the employers, the job seekers, and LIS schools, the policy makers on Human Resources Development, job postings or the advertisements should carry all the relevant information that is required for that post.
