8. Preface
With the advent of information technology there is a “paradigm
shift” in the way the information is stored and retrieved and
therefore the focus has been shifted from print resources to
online resources. The e-resources are becoming important
resources for scholarly communications. With the increase in the
e-resource subscription in the library, there has been a need for
scientific management of such e-resources. With the said
background, this volume covers the issues and challenges related
to the e-resource management in library and information centres.
This volume has been divided in to three parts. Part I deals with
the status, issues, challenges and management of electronic
resources in library and information centers. Part II covers the ICT
applications in library and information centers whereas Part III
includes the topics related to Information literacy. I hope that the
paper included in the volume will be very useful to the readers.
I am highly thankful to the authors of this volume and also
thankful to all members of the editorial team for their painstaking
effort in the editing and reviewing the volume.
I have no words to express my thanks to my friends and well-
wishers for their care, cooperation and moral support.
I would also like to appreciate Mr. Ravi Ahuja of Shankars Book
Agency Pvt Ltd. New Delhi and Rajiv Gupta of Images &
Impressions, New Delhi for bringing out this book in time.
Finally, I deeply indebted to my family members since this book
could not have seen the light of the day without their sacrifice.
