Description
Today is an information age and a tremendous flow of information is emerging in all fields throughout the world. As such, it has become very difficult to manage the information manually due to the exponential growth of literature. The problem of providing timely information is not due to lack of information, but the way in which it is handled to enable the user to fulfil his/her needs. The traditional way of information handling methods have become almost ineffective in providing the specific information of an individuals interest. To overcome this problem, the Libraries, Learning Resource Centers and Documentation Centers ought to change their attitude towards information handling. The user community is also expected to change their methodology, attitude and approach to information searching. ICT-based information handling is a viable solution in this direction. Recent technological developments such as explosive growth of Internet and WWW, sophisticated search engines, fast processing power and reducing cost of the computers, high bandwidth networks and increasing number of electronic publications assist the libraries in providing extensive access to the variety of information sources and provide a way to enrich the teaching and learning environment. Accessibility to the required information at a fast rate as well as quick response to the query is the expectations of users. These factors are responsible for the changes in library environment. Growth and development of ICT have made significant impact on library and information services. It has significantly changed the shape of information management and information services in the libraries and information centres. However, this book deals with the application of ICT based library and information services. This work would be found useful by students and research scholars in humanities and social science disciplines particularly B.L.& I.Sc., M.L.& I.Sc., and Ph.D. scholars and information professionals who aim to carry out a study in library and information science. This book would be highly useful to fulfil the research needs of scholars in others disciplines of social sciences as well.
