Internet for Library and Information Services

 
R. Raman Nair (Author)
Synopsis Internet for Library and Information Services is an introductory manual for the librarians and academicians who wish to tap the benefits of internet for providing information services or for retrieving documents and information required for research, teaching, learning or leisure. It leaves aside the technical aspects to the computer and communication technology expert and the digital library managers. Internet has become another alternative for library and information services. With the electronic information storage mechanisms and the new access and dissemination methods made possible by the internet traditional library techniques are losing their relevance. Most of the libraries of educational and research institutions are now connected to the internet. There are systems that connect user to all sites or digital libraries having information on his area of interest. Internet facilitates quick document retrieval services from libraries around the world. Information in any form located anywhere in the world can be accessed by any user at the touch of a button and at negligible cost. Today internet has become the single most powerful library tool that ever existed. With the emergence of digital libraries and electronic journals, internet has become an inseparable part of the library. No librarian, let him be from a special library or a rural library, can exist in the coming days without necessary familiarisation in handling this tool. To those who want to use internet for library and information services this book can give necessary familiarisation.
