This document summarizes a study on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the libraries of two textile engineering colleges in Haryana, India. The study found that both colleges have well-developed ICT infrastructure in their libraries, including internet access, email, and online journals. Both libraries provide Wi-Fi access across their campuses. The librarians at both colleges expressed that their individual initiatives led to the automation of their libraries. A review of previous studies on ICT in libraries found that ICT infrastructure and resources are not always utilized to their full potential, and that staff training is needed to improve ICT literacy.
The present era is an information era which has its base on information and communication
technologies. The ICT acts as a soul for all kinds of information processes may be it information
processing, storage, maintenance and dissemination. The ICT has made its influence in all walks of
life, libraries and information centres are not an exception. Use of ICT in libraries has become
inevitable in an era of information explosion and the emergence of a wide range of new
technologies in order to satisfy the changing complex information needs of users. The ICT has
provided libraries with an opportunity to provide various information services and access to huge
collection of digital information resources to their patrons at any time without any boundary oftime and location. Thus the undertaken study focuses on impact of ICT in libraries. Further the
study will examine the use of information communicationtechnology (ICT) in IITs & IIMs libraries
in India by investigating the ICT infrastructure, current statusof library automation

An e learning approach to secondary school educationAlexander Decker
This document discusses e-readiness implications for adopting e-learning in secondary schools in Kenya. It finds that less than 10% of Kenyan secondary schools offer computer studies as a subject. E-readiness indicators like infrastructure, internet access, equipment, and trained personnel must be ensured for effective e-learning. Africa in general scores low on connectivity, with only 50% of rural areas having mobile network access. Kenya has also dropped in international rankings of digital readiness compared to other African nations. For e-learning to succeed, Kenya must effectively address issues like inadequate ICT infrastructure and skills.
To adjust oneself in modern scientific world, and to understand an environment in which industrial technology and science play an ever more important role, man needs a solid grounding in science. The initial scientific knowledge he has given in the course of regular schooling is no longer enough. From the point of view both of knowledge and of methods, the education must continue throughout his working life. Education is a lifelong process. The growing need for scientific knowledge and training, due to the evaluation of the modern world and the rapid spread of education, has been analysed and is now widely recognized. In face of that need, it would seem logical to give emphasis on the most modern educational technologies, and in particular, to make a wide spread mass use of television techniques, internet, multimedia etc. This study investigated the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on Achievement of Students in Chemistry at Secondary Level. For the purpose, a list of secondary school of CBSE and U.P. Board are prepared and four institutions were selected with the help of lottery method. The selected samples of four schools were randomly divided into two groups Experimental groups and Controlled groups. The required data was collected at two stages as pre-test and post test scores from the achievement test in chemistry. Data was analysed quantitatively employing statistical techniques of mean, S.D. and t-test.

CHALLENGES OF INSECURITY IN INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY BASED L...Shehu Abdullahi Ringim
There is general insecurity in the contemporary learning environment particularly at secondary education level. Such insecurity could be posed by distractions to learning as a result of peer pressure, poor program design in the schools and lack of appropriate provision and utilization of learning resources such as the ICT tools. Students of secondary schools are within the age bracket of 14-18 years, which fairly corresponds with the teenage or adolescence stage. Due to limited life experience of this age group, they trend to misuse the ICT infrastructure put in place to support their learning in school or even at home. Therefore, care has to be exercised to protect learners from dangerous and harmful effects of such ICT tools as internet which facilitates access to dangerous websites that render them vulnerable to insecurities and distractions. This paper discussed the available ICT tools in Nigerian secondary schools, the need to guide the students in proper utilization of such tools so that they do not fall victims of the insecurity posed by negative influence of the ICT tools. The paper recommended some strategies to be applied by teachers, administrators, policy makers, and care givers in protecting the learners from such dangers.

CHALLENGES OF INSECURITY IN INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY BASED L...Shehu Abdullahi Ringim
There is general insecurity in the contemporary learning environment particularly at secondary education level. Such insecurity could be posed by distractions to learning as a result of peer pressure, poor program design in the schools and lack of appropriate provision and utilization of learning resources such as the ICT tools. Students of secondary schools are within the age bracket of 14-18 years, which fairly corresponds with the teenage or adolescence stage. Due to limited life experience of this age group, they trend to misuse the ICT infrastructure put in place to support their learning in school or even at home. Therefore, care has to be exercised to protect learners from dangerous and harmful effects of such ICT tools as internet which facilitates access to dangerous websites that render them vulnerable to insecurities and distractions. This paper discussed the available ICT tools in Nigerian secondary schools, the need to guide the students in proper utilization of such tools so that they do not fall victims of the insecurity posed by negative influence of the ICT tools. The paper recommended some strategies to be applied by teachers, administrators, policy makers, and care givers in protecting the learners from such dangers.

Efforts are made in every country for a sound system of education which
can cater the educational needs of all citizens. When the problem of quantity
of education is being tackled, there is an urge for raising the quality of life,
which is possible only if there is raise in the quality of education. The quality
of life and the quality of education go together. Educationalists are of the
opinion that the educational problems relating to the quality and quantity
could be tackled by the development of an Educational Technology.
Therefore, in recent years all over the world there has been a rapid
development of Communication Technology in education at all levels with a
purpose of extending educational facilities and upgrading instructional
methodology. The present study tries to trace out the ICT awareness, use
and need of the teacher educators of B.Ed. Colleges of Hyderabad
Karnataka region. The result reveal that computer trained teacher
educators were more aware and used more ICT resources for classroom
teaching, professional development and personal development in
comparison to the computer untrained teacher educators and teacher
educators having personal computer were using ICT resources more for
their classroom practice, professional development and personal
development than that of teacher educators not possessing personal
computer.
In the professional literature, the term consortia cover a great range of cooperation situation and expressions according to the different contexts and period they were formed and developed. It has long been a precept of librarianship; however libraries have not used it widely until about the 1980s. The prime reason of establishing a library consortium is to share physical resources between member organizations. Through consortia, libraries are coordinating their purchasing to offer the best quality and quantity of resources to their patrons at a lower cost and also to make them available on users’ desktops. “Consortium purchasing is assisting libraries to deal with the increasing pressure of diminishing budgets, increasing user demand, and rising journal cost”

ASSESSING TEACHERS’ KNOWLEDGE IN ICT USAGE FOR LESSON PREPARATION AND DELIVER...AkashSharma618775
Generally, it is agreed that information and communication technology (ICT) promotes easier planning
and preparation of lessons; helps teachers to have access to up-to-date learners and school data anytime and
anywhere. This is especially significant in this Covid era where hybrid education is being promoted. Therefore,
this study investigated the knowledge of basic school teachers in the Kassena-Nankana Municipality in the use of
ICT for lesson preparation and delivery. One hundred and two (102) out of five hundred and ten (510) basic school
teachers were sampled using the simple random sampling technique for the study. A questionnaire and an
observation checklist were used to collect data from the teachers. Data were coded into the IBM-SPSS version 21
to generate descriptive statistics (frequency counts and percentages) for the analyses. Findings from the study
revealed that 92.2% of basic school teachers in the Kassena-Nankana Municipality agreed that ICT is a diverse set
of technological tools and resources used to communicate and to create, disseminate, store and manage
information. The basic school teachers were of the view that the use of ICT in lesson delivery comes with lots of
benefits to their classroom instructional practices. The findings further revealed that basic school teachers in the
municipality have basic knowledge in ICT use but do not use this knowledge in their lesson delivery due to factors
such as constant changes in technology, cost of ICT tools, limited time allocation for ICT lessons in the schools,
technical nature of ICT, lack of ICT laboratories, and network facilities in schools for teachers and students. The
study recommended that more time should be allocated for the teaching of ICT in basic schools and also, basic
school teachers should be given constant ICT training through workshops and refresher courses to boost their
competencies in using ICT in their lesson preparation and classroom instructional practices.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Abstract
At present application of information and communication technologies (ICT) has become gradually more
important in textile college libraries. In the digital age endurance of libraries lacking ICT is in risk. The
paper describes the current position of textile libraries in ICT environment in Haryana state. It explains the
indication of available ICT infrastructure and e- resources with these libraries. The data collected with the
help of questionnaire have been interpreted and output results have given in this paper. Both institutes
libraries are making an endeavor to do well in collection development, services, and infrastructure. Both the
institute have the well ICT infrastructure in their library and giving more importance to different aspect of
ICT such as internet, e-mail, online journals etc. Keeping in the view of better internet facility both the
libraries have the Wi-Fi connectivity library campus. Both the librarians expressed that their individual
initiatives lead them for automation.
Keywords: Library automation, Networking; Internet, PIET, TITS
1. Introduction
Since the invention of the computer by Charles Babbage in 1837, major information centres have tried to
make use of this technology. In Indian context this technology was first used by Indian
Statistical Institute (ISI) Calcutta in 1957. Till then as its many generations emerged, the broad use of
this technology had been made in every part of our life. Now at the present age each intellectual human
being has come into the clutch of this technology. Today the internet is providing access to a continuous
collection of information resources existing world wide. In India the information and communication
technologies (computer technology) have boomed in the field of library and information/
documentation centres in 1990s. Now use of information technology in library and information centres
has becomes common. Computer technology is the most popular and widely used technology in library and
information centres. Computers are used for collection, organization, storage, analysis and dissemination of
information. (Helaluddin 2010)
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) comprises a diverse set of technological tools to
identify, collect, organize, create and disseminate data and information. The ICT encompasses a wide range
of technologies including telecommunication technologies, such as telephony, cable, satellite, TV and radio,
Computer-mediated conferencing and video-conferencing, as well as digital technologies, such as
computers, information networks (internet, World Wide Web and intranet) and software application. In
other words, ICT has emerged as a result of the digital convergence of computer technologies,
telecommunication technologies and other media communication technologies. ICT has altered the ways in
which the academic activities – teaching, learning, research and extension activities – are carried out at
higher education level. ICT has helped to overcome the barriers of time and space and reduced the time-lag
between the generation of information and its consumption by the end user. University library, as a
sub-system of higher education, should act as a trend-setter in adopting ICT in its activities. (Walmiki
2009)
Textile engineering is not a new field, but still it is only one of its kinds. Collection development in textile
libraries is a challenge for librarians, due to inadequate resources. Today a librarian and other library
professional in any institution must have the knowledge of digitization and computerization of library.

2. Background
Textile engineering (TE) or textile technology deals with the application of scientific and engineering
principles to the design and control of all aspects of fibre, textile, and Apparel processes, products, and
machinery. These include natural and man-made materials, interaction of materials with machines, safety
and health, energy conservation, and waste and pollution control. Additionally, textile engineers are
given training and experience in plant design and layout, machine and wet process design and
improvement, and designing and creating textile products. Throughout the Textile Engineering
curriculum, students take classes from other engineering and disciplines including: Mechanical,
Chemical, Materials and Industrial Engineering Disciplines. The curriculum provides a broad base of
fundamental engineering courses as a foundation for studies in textile engineering. Students also learn
such fundamental courses as Thermodynamics, Materials Science, Industrial Management, Applied
Mechanics, and Engineering Drawing and Design.
Haryana happens to be one of the smallest state of India. It has a various number of educational institutes,
but a small number of of textile. There are only two textile engineering institutes in Haryana. Merely
Technological Institute of Textile and Sciences (TITS) and Panipat Institute of Textile and Engineering
(PIET) were found worthy to conduct the study as per there ICT resources and services.
The great visionary Padma Vibhushan Dr. G D Birla established the institute in the year 1943 under the
auspices of the Birla Education Trust. With a modest beginning the institute has grown into a premier
technical institute of the country drawing to its portal students from all over India and abroad.
Technological Institute of Textiles & Sciences, Bhiwani was established in the year 1943. Its administration
vests in a Managing Committee called 'TITS College Managing Committee' which is constituted according
to the constitution prescribed by the All India Council for Technical Education. The institute has a textile
factory for training students under actual mil working conditions. In 1943, the institute started functioning
with a Diploma in Textile Manufacturing (DTM). In 1952, it introduced a B. Tech in Textile Technology
(TT).
Panipat Institute of Textile and Engineering is run by Vidhyapeeth Education Trust and was founded in
2005. It is the second engineering college in Haryana and the 17th in India to have textile engineering as a
trade. It is situated in NCR region at Samalkha, Panipat. All the courses in the institution are approved by
the Kurukshetra University and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). (Sharma & Kumar
2010)
3. Need of the Study
There have already been done many studies on the ICT applications in academic libraries in India. But in
case of Textile libraries with regarding ICT in Haryana no work has been done yet. The investigator wants
to find out the status of textile engineering college libraries in ICT environment. The study will be the
landmark and a foundation for further researcher.
4. Objectives of the Study
• To evaluate the ICT infrastructure available in Textile libraries of the Haryana;
• To study the existing status of textile Colleges libraries;
• To identify ICT based services ;
• To identify ICT based resources ;
• To analyze imminent of the suitability of different IT tools among library personnel.

A number of relevant studies have been carried out on various aspects of ICT in libraries in different parts
of the world. Only a small number of studies have been reviewed here.
A study in Kerala (Haneefa 2007) regarding the ICT investigates the current state-of-the-art ICT
infrastructure and the extent of use of electronic information resources in special libraries in Kerala. He
found the special libraries in Kerala have hardware, software and communication facilities to some extent.
ICT based resources and services are not reaching the users to the expected extent. The findings of this
study would assist special libraries in India to develop strategies and policies that could make better use of
ICT based resources and services. A research study in Nigerian University Libraries (Adeyoyin 2005)
shows out of about 268 professional librarians, only 87 (approximately 32 per cent) were ICT-literate,
implying that the remaining 181 (approximately 68 per cent) of professional librarians were ICT-illiterate.
Of the 358 paraprofessionals in those libraries, only 28 (approximately 8 per cent) were ICT-literate, while
the vast majority, some 330 (approximately 92 per cent), were ICT-illiterate. The conclusion reached was
that Nigerian university library professionals and paraprofessionals should acquire an enhanced level of
ICT literacy: both staff training and an adequate ICT infrastructure were recommended.A research study in
university of Nigeria. (Hyden 2005) found that the library environment was well- maintained and usable,
but still had shortcomings in comfort and infrastructure. (Ani 2005) reveals that only six university
libraries are fully “computerized”, nine are “about to be computerized”; seven of the surveyed libraries
have installed local area networks, five have online public access catalogue and only four libraries provide
internet service. The major obstacles that influence effective adoption of ICT in university libraries are
inadequate funds and the poor state of electricity in Nigeria. A study on People's network libraries:
comparative case studies of old and new ICT learning centres (Schofield 2004) suggests that the people's
network (PN) aims to ensure the provision of free and open access to Information Communication
Technologies (ICTs) through public libraries. It compares the usage of a PN converted library to an original
learning centre. It was found that a wide range of people from different age groups and backgrounds use the
ICT facilities. The results also indicated that both libraries had been successful in providing access to ICTs
for people who would otherwise have had no access, although the age of the technology available in the
more established learning centre had a negative impact on users, and the take-up of online learning
opportunities had not been as prominent as would be expected. A study regarding Use of information and
communication technology in libraries and information centres: an Indian scenario (Gulati 2004) discusses
that the status of information and communication technologies usage in Indian libraries with special
reference to special libraries and the efforts made by various institutions to propagate e-information
products and services. This paper highlights the consortia efforts in India like JCCC Consortium, INDEST
Consortium, CSIR E-journal Consortia, and UGC Infonet. It further discusses digitization efforts in India at
NISCAIR, New Delhi, IIITM, Kerala, C-DAC Pune, and the Digital Library of India. In addition it
incorporates details on major information systems in India (such as NISSAT) and major library networks in
India (such as INFLIBNET, DELNET, CALIBNET etc.). A study in Victoria (Fitzgerald 2004) explores the
impact on public libraries in Victoria, Australia, as they become increasingly reliant upon information
communications technology (ICT) to manage access and deliver information services. Aligned critically to
the actual ICT models and implementations is the capacity of the 44 individual public library services to
understand and meet the ongoing issues. A study in UK Public libraries (Spacey 2003) reveals that recent
developments affecting the growth of information and communication technology (ICT) in public libraries
provide a context against which research into the effects of automation, the introduction of ICT in a variety
of library environments and into society generally, are explored. (Al-Habashi 1996) stated that the
collections available in the school libraries of Oman are not sufficiently used and are unable to enrich the
curricula.
6. Research Methodology
The current study is a status survey of textile engineering institute libraries of the Haryana state of India.
Survey method is the best way to know the present situation. Hence a survey was conducted with the help
of questionnaire designed for this purpose. A structured questionnaire was designed to collect the primary

data. Both Librarians of the concerned libraries were consulted a number of times. The study is limited to
the two textile college libraries of Haryana, which are listed in table A
7. Discussion
7.1 Information about E-Resources
Table-1A reveals both the libraries have the E-Journals and not have any other E-Resources (i.e. e-books,
e-thesis and e-newspapers). In today’s scenario the availability of e-books, e-thesis and e-newspapers is the
need of time, without the availability of such materials ICT is not strengthen in a proper manner.
Table-1B shows that both the libraries subscribe the INDEST online journal databases consortium.
7.2 Library Collection
Library collection is a sum of the total library materials that make up the holding of a particulars library.
Table-2A shows that the TITS library has the largest collection of books (i.e. 23847) whereas PIET library
has the book collection of 13483 books. Maximum journals are subscribed by PIET library (i.e. 727)
whereas TITS subscribed only 93 journals. PIET college library has more collection of thesis/ journals (i.e.
120) with the comparison of TITS (i.e. 19).
Table-2B shows that PIET library has comparatively good collection of CD-ROM (i.e. 1000) whereas TITS
library has less quantity of non- book material (i.e. 800). Regarding the availability of computer the PIET
library has the maximum number of computer (i.e. 19) with compare to TITS library (i.e. 15).
7.3 Library Staff
Human Resources play a prominent role for the successful management of any library. Table-3 deals with
the library staff. The maximum number of staff is in PIET Library (i.e.8) whereas TITS library has 5 staff
members. The PIET library has maximum number of non-professionals (i.e. 3) whereas TITS college
library has only one non-professionals.
7.4 Library Finance
Library budget consists of data from 2006-07 to 2008-09. The details of each category of library budget are
presented in the table. Table-4 shows that in all the session (i.e. 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09) the PIET
library has the highest budget with comparison of TITS library. In 2008-09 PIET college library has the
largest amount of budget (i.e. Rs. 2829000) whereas TITS college library has 1825000
7.5 Services
Table-5 reveals that all the libraries under study provide all the above said services (i.e. CD-ROM Database
search, Reservation, Web Browsing, OPAC/ Web OPAC, Searching Consortium).
7.6 Library Automation
The table number-6A presents the status of library application softwares in the respective libraries. Both the
libraries under study have readymade library softwares. TITS library has implemented LIBSYS where as
PIET library has Library MGT. System.

Table-6B shows that Both the Libraries have the all library software modules (i.e. Acquisition Control,
Circulation Control, Serial Control, Barcode Printing, OPAC).
Table-6C shows the factors leading to the library automation. A total of seven factors were identified and
librarians were asked to give their views on these factors. Both the librarians expressed that need to
improvement quality of services, their individual initiatives lead them for automation and also favor the
argument (i.e. special grant is provided).
The basic knowledge of technology is essential for successful planning and implementation of library
automation. There is a variety of ways to gain knowledge of using IT in libraries. Table-6D shows the
steps taken for library automation implementation. The highly rated steps are: sending staff for training
courses, Consultation with other librarians and visit to automated libraries.
7.7 Infrastructure for Library Automation
Table no 7 shows that both the libaries surveyed have Xerox, Scanner and Printer. Both the library doesn’t
have the facility of TV and Slide/ LCD Projector. Telephone facility is available only in the PIET library
whereas FAX facility is available only in TITS. Both the libraries have no Slide/LCD projector.
7.8 Networking/Internet
Regarding the network type used in libraries table-8A presents that both the libraries have networking of
Local Area.
Table-8B shows that the facility of internet service is provided in both the libraries by only one ISP (i.e.
BSNL).
Table-8C reveals that both the libraries have the Wi-Fi connectivity library campus.
8. Conclusion
The present study highlighted the existing situation of ICT in the textile college libraries of Haryana. Both
the libraries are well strengthen in ICT and are able to meet the requirements faced. The study showed that
the trends of libraries have been diversified: these are giving more importance to different aspect of ICT
such as internet, e-mail, online databases, online journals etc.
On the basis of the survey, some conclusions may be derived. Technological Institute of Textile and
Sciences is a prominent textile institution of India, while Panipat Institute of Textile and Engineering is new
and comparatively less popular. The libraries of both institutes are making an endeavor to do well in
collection development, services, and infrastructure. In some area PIET library has strong position with the
comparison of TITS. Both the libraries need to attention towards e-books, e-thesis and e-newspaper. In the
ICT pursuit imminent time will not give a pause and it is an obvious tool in all kind of libraries to carry on
in the future.
