Impact of Technology in Library Services. A short summary of this paper. These are known as microcomputers; designed centers. The impacts of new technologies are felt by to handle any of the library processes like acquisitions, libraries in every aspect.
IT is applied is development. The introduction of various technology to do exactly what has been done in libraries information technology ICT trends has lead to with the justification of reduced cost and or increased reorganization, change in work patterns, and demand for performance.
Thus, automation helps in the acquisitions, new skills, job retraining and reclassification positions. Information is a dynamic and Dissemination and end users involvement in the library unending resource that affects all disciplines and all walks and information services process. The impact of ICT of life as it supports education, research and development. Emergence of internet as the largest repository of information or information technology. Technologies, of information and knowledge, changed role of library and especially computer and telecommunication technology information science professionals from intermediary to have highly revolutionized the field of library and facilitator, new tools for dissemination of information and information services.
It has impacted on every sphere of University library activity. The University libraries traditional role of information custodian has been reduced to that of being one of many information providers. Information and Communication Technologies ICTs are often associated with the most sophisticated and expensive computer-based technologies.
ICTs are basically information-handling tools- a varied set of goods, applications and services that are used to produce, store, process, distribute and exchange information. ICT-Information and Communication Technology is a varied collection technological gear and resources which are made use of to communicate.
ICT is a mean that has changed many aspects of the way we live. Hawkridge describes information technology as a revolution which has penetrated almost all fields of human activity, thus transforming economic and social life.
The ICT is made of computer and communication technology. The computer technology is the tool for storing and processing information in digital form while communication technology helps us to transfer and disseminate digital information. Additionally ICT means a variety of technological applications in the process and communication of information.
Information Communications Technologies ICT — technologies that enable society to create, collect, consolidate, communicate, manage and process information in multimedia and various digital formats for different purposes i. Today, the definition of information and Communication Technology ICT is much broader, encompassing nearly every type of business. From manufacturers, retailers, banks, and publishers to research firms, medical institutions, law enforcement agencies, government companies and library everywhere rely on Information and Communication Technology workers to run their daily businesses.
Ayodele defined ICT as electronic-based technology generally used to retrieve store, process and package information as well as provide access to knowledge. Nwachukwu information and communication technologies ICTs is the application of computers and other technologies to the acquisition, organization, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of information. However, in this context, information and communication technology is the use of electronic devices such as computers, telephones, internet, and satellite system, to store, retrieve and disseminate information in the form of data, text image and others.
After the Second World War, a huge amount of information in the form of books and other printed material has been produced, which has resulted in an exponential growth of information. There is now information pollution instead of information explosion. The libraries have found it very difficult to acquire, arrange and disseminate the information in traditional ways.
So libraries are compelled to plan, organize and communicate the huge information according to the needs of users with the help of information and communication technology ICT the information is no longer confined to books and document in the custody of individual or educational institutions, now it has embraced audio-visual, digital, multimedia with color motion and three dimensions features etc.
Application of modern technology viz computer and communication are bringing all these to the doorstep of the people. Modern libraries are constituted within and by a tradition of techniques and practices that represent a hundred years of codified professional knowledge. This book provides a historical overview of this tradition that created a complex environment of expectation and misunderstanding for introducing library automation.
This book attempts to delineate and discuss the applications of the computer that have been behind the technological revolution of library science. The aim of the book is to mainly enhance the readers' understanding of the ways in which computers have heralded the invasion of technology into library science, with special attention to the emergence of digital libraries which promise to make libraries and their information completely at the mercy of our fingertips.
Get BOOK. Methodology Review of Literature Types of Data Used Data Analysis Conclusions and Recommendations. Introduction Information is the key factor in any kind of Research and development. The information itself and way it is accessed have undergone changes owing to the development in information and communication technology. According to information it is considered as a fifth need of human after ranking air, water, food and shelter.
Information technology entered into Libraries, especially Academic Libraries and research libraries during s. Quick and easy access to every required information is a supreme importance especially in Academic Libraries. Information processing, storage, communication, dissemination of information automation etc, further origin of Internet and development of World Wide Web, revolutionized the information communication technology.
Based on this the application of ICT in libraries become essential to provide the facilities of the user community. The computers used to process and store data, while telecommunications technology provides information communication tools. Which make it possible for users to access databases and link them other computer networks at different locations.
Need for the Study The study reveals the drawbacks of the information access through print media. It elucidates the wide growing gap in volume of consumption between print media and electronic media by contemporary professional and Non professional students of colleges studying in Chennai city. The study is confined to the impact of ICT information on the Access pattern of professional and Non professional students of colleges studying in Chennai city. Further their attitudes towards ICT information also measured.
It also proves how far ICT information make impact on the access pattern among the users of both professional and non professional and the extent of ICT information being increasingly used rather than print resources. In this context the study is needed in the present scenario. Applications of ICT in Academic Libraries Now a days there are several information communication technology for various housekeeping, management and administrative functions of the library, different electronic and digital media, computer aided electronic equipments, networks and internet has provided significant role in retrieval and dissemination of information and playing an vital role for modernization of libraries main of them are: 5.
