The revolutionary innovations of Internet technologies have changed the ways in which people think, communicate and search information immediately. In this context, libraries have great challenges before them. Researchers often do not have sufficient time to conduct comprehensive online searches to locate the latest information relevant to their areas of specialty. Despite an increasing availability of online content and a continuing need to have the latest information easily accessible, a new method is needed to bring ...

In the 20th century great changes took place as a result of experiments and development in broad range of human activities, in economics, politics, and science especially medical science. Medical science is a fast changing field. In fact, the whole concept of diagnosing and treating a patient is modifying rapidly and hospitals of the future will treat patients from all over the world without geographical limitations. It is well said that from the elite class to the general masses, the cultivation of the righteous life is the foundation for all [1]. The library plays a vital role in the teaching and learning environment. Technology is changing the very nature of libraries. This has resulted in digitization. Digital and virtual libraries, which play an important role in e-learning, are fast emerging as a result of integration of varied technologies [2]. The role of the health science library is to provide a learning center where practitioners and administrators can develop the skills ...

Importance of periodicals as bearers of the most ancient and nascent micro thought is well established. However, libraries find it difficult to cope up with periodical subscriptions due to a recent spurt in periodical literature and the alarming rate of rise in their price. The rising costs of periodicals and the associated difficulties faced by the librarians in satisfactorily catering to the requirements of their clients can be adequately handled through the application of cost-benefit analysis. It is felt that a cost-benefit analysis can increase the awareness of librarians, administrators and others concerning costs and use patterns, but cannot be truly effective without the help of intuitive value judgment. Library services in the recent years are exceedingly becoming difficult due to spurt in the literature. The question of satisfactory performance of the services is acquiring greater concern of the librarian&#39;s day by day. The question becomes difficult due to lack of suit...

Introduction Marketing of library and information services is essential. Libraries have used marketing channels such as the traditional media: newspapers, corporate newsletters, radio, and TV. Many libraries produce brochures, pathfinders, and their own newsletters. It is not surprising to see libraries using blogs as marketing tools as well. A blog is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order. They can provide commentary and information on a particular subject or act as a more personal online diary. Blogs combine text, images, and links to other related or interesting sites. Readers can leave comments, making blogs interactive. Most blogs are text, although there are also photoblogs, sketchblogs, video blogs (vlog), or audio blogs (podcasting). These are all part of the wider network of social media. The term &quot;weblog&quot; (later shortened to blog) was coined by Jorn Barger in December 1997. The first weblog...

Libraries are increasingly adopting cloud computing, a new technology model for Information Technology (IT) services. Cloud computing is of interest to health care professionals as well as health consumers. Health Science libraries maintain more control over the applications and data repositories that contain sensitive, private information about patrons. Provision and maintenance of infrastructure for web-based digital library presents several challenges. It allows them to avoid locally hosting multiple servers, housing massive equipment and constantly dealing with hardware failure, software installs, upgrades and compatibility issues. This paper describes the concept, current status of cloud computing and its application in health science libraries. Then it proposed to improve current user service via cloud computing.

This article presents a study that seeks to examine the use of e-journals by the health care professionals of HMPCME and that of print journals which can be availed at the behest of library at Pramukhswami Medical College(PSMC), Karamsad, Gujarat-India. From this survey it was found that most of the research scholars i.e. (Doctors, Physicians, Medical officers, Interns, Post Graduate students, Residents) are referring to e-journals, as well as print journals from their departmental library as well as computer center in the central library. The main aim of consulting these journals is for retrieving information regarding research, dissertation, presentations, seminars, lectures, treatment protocols for unusual cases and journal clubs etc and largely to update their own knowledge. However, this study also reveals several inherent problems especially with the use of e-journals e.g. Computer illiteracy, lack of computer training, inability of retrieving particular/relevant health based information via various advanced databases like MD-Consult, EBSCO, ProQuest, Science Direct etc. Other mechanical deficits like slow downloading, slow connectivity, and subjective strain to eyes are also present while using e-journals.

Academic library collections were previously composed of print materials. The selection of books and
periodicals were through familiar procedures, and budgets were decided on the basis of years of academic
experiences and research needs of the University as well as on the publishing trends. However, the advent of
electronic resources has transformed the work of collection development and their availability is highly demanded.
The collection development program of Library system has always strived to provide information in the most
appropriate formats. The authors have shared their experience about the collections at Smt. Hansa Mehta Library,
The M S University of Baroda, which is in vibrate mode for developing the library as a digital library by creation of
digital collections and Institutional Repository. There is huge thrust and also increased awareness for the use of eresources
