Abstract Due to impact of ICT, electronic resources are becoming more popular for research community as well as easy to use and consistent also. The electronic resources make the e-learning operative, which advances the attention among the students as well as staff, and encourage them for the independent learning.

Due to impact of ICT, electronic resources are becoming more popular for research community as well as easy to use and consistent also. The electronic resources make the e-learning operative, which advances the attention among the students as well as staff, and encourage them for the independent learning. This paper discusses the awareness and utilization of e-Resources and UGC Infonet consortium in the users of Universities of Jharkhand in Eastern India. Concept of e-resources apart from this paper also covers the consortium in Indian context in brief. Today the value of Information and users need have increased enormously so much, no single publisher or institute fulfills their need. So that important of consortia is much more.

Abstract Since the establishment of press display unit at central library, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), this unit has always been offered many comprehensive services that not only help user community to make use of news contents, but also make user update with latest information of their concerned topic of interest for the growth of their research pursuit. Keeping this prime idea into consideration,... Since the establishment of press display unit at central library, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), this unit has always been offered many comprehensive services that not only help user community to make use of news contents, but also make user update with latest information of their concerned topic of interest for the growth of their research pursuit. Keeping this prime idea into consideration, here authors have proposed a strategic model plan to set up an online content management system to display press clips (or news contents) which leads to a leap towards the betterment of the press displays service and reach end user community with a healthy approach of access to information contents. Through this paper, authors have highlighted the past and current practices of its operations, collection development, management and access process to find out a better service solution for news contents access and use for all academic pursuit.

Abstract In traditional computing, operating system would have installed software programs that manages computer hardware, resources and provides common services. Resources are accessible on one network, can’t be accessed by computers outside the network, but only through the internet. Cloud computing brings the revolutionary changes in the world of ICT because of its benefits such as reduced cost, accessible anywhere anytime as well... In traditional computing, operating system would have installed software programs that manages computer hardware, resources and provides common services. Resources are accessible on one network, can’t be accessed by computers outside the network, but only through the internet. Cloud computing brings the revolutionary changes in the world of ICT because of its benefits such as reduced cost, accessible anywhere anytime as well as its elasticity and flexibility. Cloud computing is a new technique grown from being a promising concept to one of the fastest growing trend in the field of IT industry more so in libraries. Cloud computing provides us virtually unlimited and on demand computing resources to the users connecting lots of distributed computers, rather than local computer or remote server, while the processing of data centers would be more similar as internet. Thus, resources would be switched on the application of need, which could be accessed to computing and storage system as the requirement of the user. Cloud computing is useful for library services and digital library resources to improve information sharing capabilities, improve resource utilization and in meeting the various demands of user communities. This paper describes what cloud computing is for libraries and its merits, features and types to be considered before putting the data in the cloud. And few case studies are discussed.
