This bookis a collection of articles written during a period of last few
years. These are a mixed bunch providing the trends in the fields of public,
academic and special libraries. In tune with the motto, 'Information to all'.
Democratic governments have an obligation to see that information is provided to
all with out any discrimination at all levels of society. Access to information
should be enshrined in the fundamental rights of our constitution. Further,
these articles debate and discuss issues like the Bibliometric study of Research
work, use of computers, the internet, barcode practices, interface of men and
machines and maintenance of computers in libraries. In the decades to come
sophisticated robots like Ananova may manage most of the counter transactions,
easing out library staff from many routine duties. Libraries and information
centres can work round the clock without staff. Finally, this book provides a
good glossary of E-terms with their meaning and explanation which are used by
the LIS professionals in libraries. These terms are useful to the working
professionals as well as to the new entrants into the profession. This title
provides a useful reading to professionals at all levels since it rolls out some
new ideas and thoughts. It is a good addition to the library literature.
