University Library System

Description

The university library subscribes to more than 300 distinct online information services that provide scholarly content generally unavailable through free web search utilities. We have an outstanding collection of textbooks, scholarly journals, multimedia content, current industry periodicals, and much more. The library’s collection of resources is continually updated and expanded to provide the most up-to-date and relevant information, for academic purposes. To simplify decision-making, to save time, and to reduce costs associated with descriptive cataloging, a system has to be implemented.
Academic libraries today vary in regard to the extent to which they accommodate those who are not affiliated with their parent universities. Some offer reading and borrowing privileges to members of the public on payment of an annual fee; such fees can differ greatly. The privileges so obtained usually do not extend to such services as computer usage, other than to search the catalogue, or for internet access.
In library information system, information technology has had a clear and influential impact in almost every area of the library. The most significant development in information technology over the last few years few years is digital technology. Digital technology is revolutionising the traditional concepts of preservation and access in library and archive communities. The applications of digital system and computing system in the libraries have been a subject of interest to present day professional librarians. This book caters to the requirements of teachers, researchers and students. It has been written by a well-regarded subject specialist with a PhD to their name.
