This study examines the attitudes of two law university library users towards the use of OPAC/Web OPAC and located in Andhra Pradesh. The sample population was chosen by using the convenience sample method. The investigators distributed 200 sample instruments to members of the teaching staff, research scholars, LLM students and LLB students and received 123 fiilled-in usable questionnaires making a moderate response rate of 61.5% which was found adequate for the analysis. Major findings of the study include: 15(12.3%) respondents did not use OPAC/Web OPAC. 62(50%) of the respondents were using OPAC/Web OPAC not very much and 51(41.8%) respondents stated that their use of the OPAC/Web OPAC was not guided by library OPAC/Web OPAC. The analysis found that respondents have positive attitudes about the use of OPAC/Web OPAC service and facility.Keywords

Published scientific discoveries and ideas are the foundation for future progress in science and medicine. The more widely and freely accessible the literature is, the greater its value to scientists, researchers, doctors, students and the general public. Unfettered access to research literature will allow scientists, physicians, educators, students, and the general public to find and read the latest scientific and medical discoveries. Authors have discussed various open access initiatives in this article which include OpenWetWare (OWW), The Public Library of Science (PLoS), Protocol Online, PubMed and PubMed Central (PMC), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and 3 QUARKS Daily.Keywords

We are living in the Information Knowledge Era (IKE), which is fast changing. In this rapidly changing IKE, knowledge and information are the most vital resources, for the growth and development of both individuals and organizations. These resources are assets, which are available in the form of databases, knowledge bases and in the minds of people and organizations. Very often one part of the organization repeats the work of another part, simply because, they are not aware of what is going on in the other parts of the organization. Hence it is important to know what the knowledge management assets are? And how to manage and make the best use of these assets to reap maximum returns.
In the age of IKE librarians' role is also changing and they are posed with many challenges. Some times we wonder as to what the role of a librarian is in a KM library. This article finds answers from some of the common doubts that arise in our mind. The paper also presents the shift from the conventional role to the fast changing KM roles of a librarian. It also emphasizes on how information management is the domain of librarians and KM is only an extension, where IT is the enabler.

This paper titled "Expectations and Perceptions of the Users of the National Law School of India University Library (NLSIU): A study" is a case study of the NLSIU Library located at Bangalore, the silicon valley of India. This Law School is one of the unique autonomous bodies in the field. The perceptions of the library users towards the facilities and services offered are presented in an objective manner. The study reveals that majority of the users are male and students form the largest number of library visitors. Most of the users are under 21–25 years age group. Many of them visit the library to prepare for projects and seminars. They find the library ambience homely and tidy. Journals, which are used most by the users, are published mainly from India and U.S.A. "Economic and Political Weekly" (India) is the highest ranking journal. They find quality of the book collection in this library excellent. The NLSIU Library users 'Google' is the most preferred search engine for literature search.Keywords

It is the first time in the annals of Mysore University Library, University of Mysore, that an attempt is made by the investigators to explore what image the users have about the library. The application of strategic marketing methods to libraries and information centers is however of recent origin. The outcome of such studies, if found positive helps in attracting good funding. It also leads to the most effective way of managing a library besides enhancing its efficiency. The results show that the image and familiarity of this library among the users is somewhat favorable and most of them know a fair amount about it. A great majority of users seek the help of the library professionals to look for documents More than 50% of the respondents are satisfied with the library services. The users also suggest that they need more books followed by journals.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

This review paper highlights the very special „niche segment‟ to which the aerospace scientists and engineers belonging to different countries right across the globe occupy. Highlighting aviation as one of the most significant technological marvels of our times, the paper discusses in detail the various significant aspects related to what aerospace engineering is all about and how the electronic media has come in a big way to support scholarly communication within this „niche‟ aerospace engineering community. The paper also reviews the impact of Internet, the availability of high-speed networks which has enabled these scientists and engineers have access to electronic journals right at their desktops and also keep track of the global R&D happenings in their respective field of specialization. Various studies conducted (as indicated in this paper) illustrate how „electronic journals‟ are highly important to the aerospace scientists and engineers. Important studies in this connection have also proved that scientists are willing to pay a high price in their time to spend many hours reading electronic scientific literature. Many relevant studies also have revealed that the information that a scientist or engineer gets from refereed journals has greatly resulted in their improved performance. The review paper also touches upon key aspects like: (a) Distinguishing engineers from scientists, (b) Their differences in knowledge diffusion, (c) Their communication behaviours, (d) Their information seeking behaviour, (e) The aerospace engineering community in particular and the (g) the importance of scientific communication for advances in aerospace engineering and the need for electronic information resources.Keywords
