The Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2) in 1998 are situated in the midst of a continuum of constant revision. The Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules were under development for many years following the strong criticism to the American Library Association Cataloguing Rules which were published in 1949. During this period, the International Conference on Cataloguing Principles was held in Paris in 1961 with a true international representation from over 50 countries. The resulting Paris Principles provided a strong base for international cooperation in the development of cataloguing rules. Cooperation on a new code between the United Kingdom and the United States was initiated in the early 1960s, shortly after the Paris Conference but in the end, complete agreement on a cataloguing code could not be reached and, lamentably, once again a British text and a separate North American text of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules were published.
After the publication of AACR in 1967, the IFLA committee on Cataloguing organized an International Meeting of Cataloguing Experts in Copenhagen in 1969. This led to the development of the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD) which is a pivotal element in the effort to reach the ideal of Universal Bibliographic Control. The first ISBD was published in 1971 and the First Standard Edition of the ISBD for Monographs was published in 1974.
By 1974 events had reached a point where it was clear that a new direction needed to be established for the future. In 1974 a tripartite meeting was held "consisting of one delegate each from the three 'Anglo-American' countries, representing in each case both the library association and the national library--to draw up a new memorandum of agreement and to complete the planning of the project for a second edition of AACR.
A condition of funding by he Council on Library Resources was that an objective of rule revision include a contribution to the development of an international cataloguing code.

Colon classification (CC) is a system of library classification developed by S. R. Ranganathan. It was the first ever faceted (or analytico-synthetic) classification. It is especially used in libraries in India.
Its name “Colon classification” comes from the use of colons to separate facets in class numbers. However, many other classification schemes, some of which are completely unrelated, also use colons and other punctuation in various functions. They should not be confused with Colon classification. In an analytico synthetic classification, subjects are divided into facets aspects) and class numbers are synthesised from the classifications. Its name “Colon Classification” comes from the use of colons to separate facets in class numbers. It is especially used in libraries in India. This scheme is being used in large number of Indian libraries for classifying their documents and has been included in all levels of library and information science courses conducted by Indian universities and other institutions.
“Colon classification” is one of the most scientific and logical schemes based on principles and postulates. However, at times, the rules, principles and postulates are considered to be complex in nature. This book is an attempt to explain the provision in simple language and lucid style.

A library catalogue is a register of all bibliographic items found in a particular library or group of libraries, such as those belonging to a university system spread out over several geographic locations. A bibliographic item can be any information entity (e.g., books, computer files, graphics, realia, cartographic materials, etc.), that is considered library material (e.g., a single novel in an anthology) or a group of library materials (e.g., a trilogy) or linked from the catalogue (e.g., a webpage) as far as it is relevant to the catalogue and to the users (patrons) of the library.
The card catalogue was a familiar sight to library users for generations but it has been effectively replaced by the Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC). Some still refer to the online catalogue as a "card catalogue" but this is incorrect. Some libraries with OPAC access still have card catalogues on site but these are now strictly a secondary resource and are seldom updated. Many of the libraries that have retained their physical card catalogue post a sign advising the last year that the card catalogue was updated. Some libraries have eliminated their card catalogue in favour of the OPAC for the purpose of saving space for other use, such as additional shelving.
This book includes comprehensive cataloguing and catalogue management resources on the Internet. General resources contain some major cataloguing resources on Internet such as LC services and some selective comprehensive resources for cataloguing. The Cataloguer's Reference Shelf, a component of the help systems in ITS for Windows and the Library. Solution integrated online library system, has recently been published in web format and is available for free use by any cataloguer with a web browser. The CRS is a collection of 21 MARC manuals and other reference works frequently accessed by technical services staff.

The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system is the world's most widely used library classification system. The 22nd edition of the DDC enhances the efficiency and accuracy of your classification work in ways no previous editions have done. The DDC evolves continually to keep up with recorded knowledge. The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system uses simple decimal notation to divide recorded knowledge into 10 main classes, 100 divisions and 1,000 sections. DDC 22 Summaries provides a complete list of these groupings. Browsing the summaries is fast and easy way to become familiar with the DDC's structure. It also uses some aspects of a faceted classification scheme, combining elements from different parts of the structure to construct a number representing the subject content (often combining two subject elements with linking numbers and geographical and temporal elements) and form of an item rather than drawing upon a list containing each class and its meaning.
Except for general works and fiction, works are classified principally by subject, with extensions for subject relationships, place, time or type of material, producing classification numbers of no less than three digits but otherwise of indeterminate length with a decimal point before the fourth digit.
Books are placed on the shelf in increasing numerical order; the whole number to the left of the decimal is in counting order, while the digits to the right of the decimal are compared one digit at a time, with a blank coming before zero. When two books have the same subject, and therefore the same classification number, the second line of the call number, which usually has the first letter or first several letters of the author's last name (or the title if there is no identifiable author), is placed in alphabetical order.

A digital library is a library in which collections are stored in digital formats and accessible by computers. The digital content may be stored locally, or accessed remotely via computer networks. A digital library is a type of information retrieval system. The first use of the term digital library in print may have been in a 1988 report to the Corporation for National Research Initiatives. The term digital libraries was first popularized by the NSF/DARPA/NASA Digital Libraries Initiative in 1994. The older names electronic library or virtual library are also occasionally used, though electronic library nowadays more often refers to portals, often provided by government agencies.
The term digital library is diffuse enough to be applied to a wide range of collections and organizations, but, to be considered a digital library, an online collection of information must be managed by and made accessible to a community of users. Thus, some web sites can be considered digital libraries, but far from all. Many of the best known digital libraries are older than the web including Project Perseus, Project Gutenberg, and ibiblio. Nevertheless, as a result of the development of the internet and its search potential, digital libraries such as the European Library and the Library of Congress are now developing in a Web-based environment.
A distinction is often made between content that was created in a digital format, known as born-digital, and information that has been converted from a physical medium, e.g., paper, by digitizing. The term hybrid library is sometimes used for libraries that have both physical collections and digital collections. For example, American Memory is a digital library within the Library of Congress. Some important digital libraries also serve as long term archives, for example, the ePrint arXiv, and the Internet Archive.

Ideal for professional librarians and general readers alike, this book covers comprehensive list of information science-related terms. This Encyclopaedia is one of its kinds available. It covers articles from an international array of information science. There is comprehensive coverage of every level of information science. This new encyclopedia integrates all of the diverse approaches that have gone into the making of the modern field of information science. It is unique among available reference works in that it covers the most recent topics of research and interest, combines the features of an encyclopedia and a dictionary, presents key theoretical terms, including overviews of important topics and points of view in the subject.
The reader will find a complete exposition of all the concepts, which are currently in use in Information science. In our view this encyclopaedia should help reader with the means of assessing the importance of the tradition in Information science. The average reader is deluged continually with a quantity of facts in the field of Information science. A possible aid to the solution of this problem is the compilation of a volume, which endeavors to explain to the ordinary reader terms which are new to him and which have not yet become part of his general vocabulary.

Library classification is constantly being influenced by multifaceted, multidimensional and infinite growth of literature on one hand and the users needs on the other. Dewey pioneered in devising a scheme of classification for the documentation utility of the organised knowledge. Subsequent schemes of classification worked purely without any theoretical foundation, colon classification being the exception. With the emergence of computer technology the library classification is being metamorphised. This book attempts to delve a state-of-the-art of library classification in the new computer age.
Technical services are as a mix of skilled and professional jobs to provide user services in libraries. Technical services have been with the libraries throughout their evolution from the days of clay tablets, papyrus to paper and virtual libraries. Technical services have evolved making use of available technology of the day. In the days of all powerful and era-defining information technology, the technical services are still necessary to help libraries to accomplish their mission of connecting iusers with the needed information. New technology affords splendid Opportunity to extend and augment intensively and improve qualitatively the library services to the users. OPACs not only have tremendous capacity but equally versatile powerful searching capabilities and mechanism. Classification has many new roles to play in designing, searching and managing electronic databases. This book cites Electronic Dewey as an example to illustrate the role of IT in editing, and publishing classification schedules. At the end some unsolved issues have been identified and emerging trends in technical services are enumerated.

The digital or virtual libraries have brought the revolutionary changes in the entire concept of library organization, management and operations. To peep into it, library and information science professionals, need to be get ready to face the challenges emerging due to the adoption of newer technologies. In this book an attempt has been made to synthesize all aspects of digital libraries and to put them in the systematic order at one place to understand the conceptual phenomena and to render the better services. This book deals not only with the theoretical aspects of digital libraries but there are also some case studies which show the path to go ahead.
The library has evolved from being a rarity few could afford to keep in the pre- Gutenberg era, to being a common find in almost every home, be it in a miniature form only. Public and educational libraries too have undergone vast changes and are adapting themselves to newer and better technologies to be better able to manage their materials. Digital libraries are no longer a figment of imagination, and is a conceivable possibility in a full-born version in the near future.
The emphasis has been on the methodologies and functioning of e-libraries, their techniques and the equipment they employ, the effect and the changes they have brought about in the field of library science and how they may be liked in the future. The problems and the issues surrounding it, which include issues such as archiving and preservation of information, intellectual property rights, etc., have also been given space to.
The book deals with the science of library and information management as it increasingly becomes important in the present age. A comprehensive analysis of the introduction of electronic services in libraries to new technology has been emphasised upon. With its erudite exploration of the issue, the book would be of immense use to students and faculty alike in the field of library science.

Libraries and their information have existed for thousands of years. People recognised the value of information, although sometimes in rather unusual ways. Today, as an organised system, the library is becoming an intermediary, rather than a storehouse, of information. The evolving nature of the library is characterised by a gradual change of its organisation.
In this info age, information is not only recorded items of knowledge, it is also the digitised bits of information that could be moved through computers and telephone lines to wherever it is needed. The management of new age libraries poses numerous challenges to the librarians and information scientists. It is essential that they should have an integrated approach to concentrate on the client expectations, electronic and print information, new skill development and standard hardware.
Financial management relates to overall management and achievement of the appropriate objectives of the organization. It provides a conceptual and analytical framework for financial decision making. The function of finance covers both acquisition of funds as well as their allocation. Apart from the issues involves in acquiring external funds the main concern of financial management is the efficient and wise allocation of funds to various uses. It is an integral part of overall management. The management staff recruited is given the authority and responsibility for general control and utilization of funds, balancing of revenue and expenditure and evaluation of financial affairs. Financial Management also deals with the non-profit making organization, as they need to cut down its costs by applying the methods and techniques of the financial management for utilization of the resources for optimum benefit and in solving their financial problems. The college library being service component is a spending institution and comes under this category. The library is the life--blood of an academic institution and it is performing the function of accumulation, preservation and dissemination of knowledge.

Technology is changing the nature of libraries and librarians and it continues to exert a major influence on the strategic direction of libraries in society. Today, the library services are transitioning from local traditional collections to global resources provided on demand via the most advanced networking technologies. It is now possible to retrieve information independently of time zones and geographical location and to obtain the most uptodate information from the form of the library without walls or the virtual library. Libraries of all types are challenged to provide greater information access and improved levels of service, while coping with the pace of technological change and ever-increasing budget pressure. As a result professional librarians must be computer literate and knowledgeable about internet technologies to fully participate in the planning, design and implementation of future library services.

Library science is an interdisciplinary science incorporating the humanities, law and applied science to study topics related to libraries, the collection, organisation, preservation and dissemination of information resources, and the political economy of information. The ongoing information revolution has imparted a new dimension to library and information sciences. Techniques and technologies in the area have been drawn from the electronic and telecommunication phenomena of the present age. The materials comprising readings in library and information science have been brought together in this book with a view to profile the essential features of a modern multimedia library. The print media and non-print information call for a resourcesharing, technology-oriented approach to the techniques and technologies available to librarians and media-centre managers for the constant upgradation and optimisation of their information centres. The present collection attempts to provide the online librarian with the basic profiles in resources and optimization, library informatics and networking and cataloguing for multimedia libraries and information centres. It is hoped that the book will constitute a valuable addition to the current and anticipated literature in the field.
The book intends to serve as an useful handbook to students, teachers, researchers and practitioners in library and information science and for all those concerned with library research.

S. R. Ranganathan, known as the "the father of library science in India," and respected by librarians all over the world, proposed five laws of library science. Most librarians worldwide accept them as the foundations of their philosophy.
These laws are: 1.Books are for use. 2. Every reader his or her book. 3.Every book its reader. 4. Save the time of the reader. 5. The library is a growing organism.
The Five Laws of Library Science are some of the most influential concepts in that field. Since they were published in 1931, these five laws "have remained a centerpiece of professional values...". These basic theories of Library Science continue to directly affect the development of this discipline and the service of all libraries.
S. R. Ranganathan's early education was of a mathematic background. This systematic way of thinking, he later applied to his work in library science, most notably his work on library classification and administration. From the middle of the nineteenth century, librarians in the west felt the need and started emphasizing the importance of enhanced services to library patrons. Formulation of the Five Laws of Library Science at long last, provided a solid and lasting foundation in this direction.
In 1998, librarian Michael Gorman (past president of the American Library Association, 2005-2006), recommended the following laws in addition to Ranganathan's five in his small book, "Our Singular Strengths".
