This short presentation highlights some recent and emerging technology that can be used to augment a library's web-based service and provide a higher level of user interaction as well as resource discovery and access.
Information Technology is driving transformative pedagogy in both lower and higher education institutions. This paper discusses internet usage patterns among university academics before advancing to explore how to improve these aspects in the context of education. This descriptive survey collected data from a random sample of 440 university academics in Zimbabwe. Academics use the internet for research more than they did for teaching purposes. Statistical analysis of data revealed gender differences in internet access. Age and experience were found to explain differences in usage among university academics. Educational implications of these findings in relation to advancing development of 21st century skills through Information Technology in tomorrow’s leadership and drivers of country’s economic growth were highlighted. The study recommends a transformation of university teaching practice through technology based holistic models that encompass creative and innovative Webogogy and facilitative content delivery for better performance in higher educational institutions.

Today availability of e-resources in a university library is very common. They serve more than repositories for repositories for materials and knowledge and they are of an access point to acquiring knowledge and skills. But their proper and maximum use is a matter for discussion. Periyar EVR Central Library in VIT University subscribes to a number of electronic journals to satisfy the information needs of its users. The present study examines the existence of various e-resources and services are available at Periyar EVR Central Library in VIT University. The study also highlights different types of electronic resources used by students and faculty, the purposes and frequency of using electronic resources and the problems faced by the users while accessing and using the electronic resources in the library.
The present society is considered an information society. A society where the creation, distribution, use, integration, and manipulation of digital information have become the most significant activity in all aspects. Information is producing from every sector of any society, which has resulted in an information explosion. Modern technologies are also having a huge impact. So managing this voluminous information is really a tough job. Again WWW has opened the door to connect anyone or anything within a fraction of a second.

Meaningful and intellectual modern thinking regard any system, which rests on unity of diverse views to be better and progressive as compared to a single-track system. Democracy is based on accommodating and giving free play to diverse values at any time. Earlier in nineteenth century Darwin and Spencer had enunciated the principle of progress by emphasizing that greater is the differentiation and greater the integration, greater is the progress attained by a society; more the number of self-propelling components better is the functional capacity of the system. Ancient Indian and Greek thinking believed that no one could reach absolute value and be good for all times. Cultures and civilizations have evolved developed, prospered, declined, sidelined or have withered away with passage of time. New cultures may be as good or bad as old ones, or the cultures or civilizations of East may be as good or as bad as those of West. Believing this, in the contemporary times, since the inception of the United Nations as a civilizational force, the reigning view is that no culture is inherently superior or inferior, therefore the new world order should allow the diverse cultures the freedom to develop or parish by natural processes. Culture means the aggregate of social, religious or behavioral norms, independently of political forces, developed by a community for survival as well as for prosperity at a time or place

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. Introduction
In the 21century connectivity to internet is an indispensable one as it provide latest
information as well as facilities communication across continents within a short span time At
low cost it is a collection of thousands of network thus it is known network of networks
Millions of journal and other sources of information are available on internet and internet and
people from all over the world can access the internet easily the internet significant
Theological developments of late 20 it becomes one of the most powerful tools for the access
Of information the internet first begins in higher education as a way for researchers to
communication and share project data this largest worldwide network of networks is the
biggest global digital information library which provides the fastest access to the right kind of
information To the end user Nano –second of time at any place in world but the internet To
day internet is also known in different names in different names which such information
Super high the net the web the data sphere and the electronic frontier internet electronically
connects computer of different parts of the world as a means of communication the internet
can be conceived as rich multi-layed complex ever –changing textual environment the
internet provide several opportunities for the academia it is mechanism for information
dissemination and a medium for interaction between individuals and their computers without
regard for geographic limitation of space content creates on the internet ranges from simple
the internet is a live constantly moving the theoretically infinites pace for the production and
circulation of information most significant technological developments flexity And finitude
text published via the internet has a much more fluid character with text no longer thousand
between library or book shop walls it becomes impossible to ‘pin down ‘all or even most Of
available materials in given subject areas for archival and classification purpose the internet
might thus be described as a sea of information subject various forces.
Internet
The term internet has been coined from a concept inter-networking tride denotes
interaction between networking of computers. It is an umbrella under which different
4. networks, small and big, freely exchange information across the globe. Internet, thus, can
broadly be defined as worldwide network of computers communicating via an agreed upon
protocol (rules for exchange of information). It provides access to the most diversified source
of information hosted by individuals and various organisation worlds wide on a vast network
of servers Internet gives on to the world web the interconnection to thousands of servers
created by various organisations, commercial establishments, industrial units, academic
establishments, various groups, individuals. The web pages loaded on various servers provide
variety of information in the form of text, graphics, animation, multimedia, etc. either free of
cost or for a modest fee. The main characteristic of Internet and the WWW are:
❖ Users across the world can connect or access information irrespective of time and
space factor.
❖ Point to point communication, rather than one to many broadcast communication
❖ Provides access to large number of databases
❖ The facility of hyper linking from one server to another by clicking on a highlighted
word which enables the user to directly switch to another data source, on the other
side of the world.
❖ Instant and interactive community creation on a global base.
❖ The internet therefore, is a vast electronic library made up of millions of pages of
information stored in hundreds of thousands of linked computers a the globe. The
Web has brought to the desk top, not only metadata sources like bibliographic
databases and table of contents, but also full text of journals, preprints, technical
reports, patents, courseware, etc.
Internet resources and services
A large portion of the literature on the Internet and library and information services
addresses issues related to Internet resources and services, access, and tools and covers a
wide range of topics including email, telnet, Hytelnet, FTP, Archie, Gopher, World Wide
Web, Wide Area Information Service, Mosaic, Internet discussion groups, bulletin boards,
electronic serials, electronic conferencing, hypermedia, online catalogs, virtual library,
electronic library, access information on the Internet, various databases available on the
Internet, network interface, digital image, and listservs. While these items provide rich
information on Internet resources and services, many of the discussions are descriptive and
repetitive.
5. 2. Review of Literature
ILO and Ifijeh (2010) studied the impact of the internet on final year students’
research projects at Covenant University, a private institution at Ota in Nigeria. The
researchers discovered that all of the 150 respondents used the internet for their research. On
the kind of sources the students used to access their materials, priority was more on online
journals, online books, and online newspapers and magazines.
Baro and Asaba (2010) investigated the state of internet connectivity and use in
Nigerian university libraries and found that despite the laudable efforts by the National
Universities Commission (NUC) to network university libraries in Nigeria, many libraries
were still operating without internet connectivity, even as late as 2010.
Goldfarb, (2008) there is a well-documented “digital divide” in internet connection.
We ask whether a similar divide exists for internet usage. Using a survey of 18,439
Americans, we find that high-income, educated people were more likely to have adopted the
internet by December 2001. However, conditional on adoption, low-income, less-educated
people spend more time online. We examine four possible reasons for this pattern: (1)
differences in the opportunity cost of leisure time, (2) differences in the usefulness of online
activities, (3) differences in the amount of leisure time, and (4) selection. Our evidence
suggests this pattern is best explained by differences in the opportunity cost of leisure time.
Our results also help to determine the potential effects of internet-access subsidies
Younis (2002) studied mainly concerned with the extent of Internet utilization in
Jordanian university libraries. The study also aimed to investigate the administrative effect of
the Internet in academic libraries in Jordan and the effect of the Internet on the acquisition of
traditional and non-traditional information sources (i.e. CD-ROMs), problems and solutions.
Results of that study indicated that librarians perceive the Internet as a supplement to
libraries' collections, as a substitute for databases on CD-ROMs, and a way of saving on
subscription charges for printed journals, but not as a replacement for printed books. How the
use of the Internet as a source of information is impacting on the library services was not
addressed in that study.
6. 3. Objectives of the Study
❖ To access the use of the Internet by the user of the University Library
❖ To know the purpose of using the Internet.
❖ To know the satisfaction derived by the users with the Internet and its services
❖ To investigate the frequency and purpose using of Internet
❖ To find out the extent to which the Internet helps graduate students in their academic
work
❖ To find out the problems faced by the research and students while using the Internet
4. Methodology
The survey research design was used for the study. The total population includes 124
registered users of the library made up of UG, PG Students, Research scholars and Staff from
Alagappa University. A questionnaire has been prepared in such a way that the respondents
could easily understand the items. A total number of 130 questionnaires were distributed
among the respondents. The investigator could collect questionnaires from only 124 out of
130 respondents among whom the questionnaires were distributed. This constitutes 95.3%
(110/130) of the total response.
5. Data Analysis and Findings
This study is based on the Survey (questionnaire) Method. A structured Questionnaire
was designed to collect data from UG, PG students, M.Phil. Scholar and Staff at Alagappa
University. Keeping in mind the basic objectives of the study.

6. Conclusion
Majority of the respondents are accessing the use of the Internet. Most of the
respondents are the first to graduate. 124 out of 130 respondents use computer facilities of
students and research scholar. This study shows the used Internet using which is very
common among the students and research scholars of Alagappa University Karaikudi. This
study focuses that the majority of PG students depend on e-resources to get the desired and
relevant information for their research. The present study concluded that the students and
research scholars in Alagappa University need proper training in the use of internet and
information search tools. Users suggested that the college research scholar must need high-
speed internet Wi-Fi technology on the college campus. In case of the computer system is not
available; one can browse the internet on library users. This study suggests some measure to
achieve effective and efficient utilization of e-resources used for the research scholar.
