Virtual learning environment became very popular in the present learning environment. Not only higher education institutes, rather small institutes are also adopting it to facilitate their students. Present paper is in effort made by a small study centre run by IGNOU to create such learning environment. Open source software, i.e. MOODLE (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) was used for the present study. The software was customized as per the requirements, especially considering a distance education mode institute, tested it by uploading information/ data including grades, assignments, students profile, etc. for the present study. The students of the centre were acquainted with the practicalities of the MOODLE. This article endeavors to discuss the experiences of the administrator, teachers and also the ultimate users with the present study.

The authors conducted the user awareness study of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enabled information services facilitated by the university libraries. It was a comparative study of deemed university libraries of Delhi; NCR (National Capital Region). NIRF 2017 of MHRD was used to select the deemed universities for the study. The primary data were collected through the content analysis of the websites and the survey of the libraries using a structured questionnaire. The Five ICT enabled information services were selected taking into consideration the point of view of the users towards the services. Through a well-structured questionnaire data were collected in three categories: ‘Aware and useful’, ‘Aware but not useful’ and ‘Not aware’. The collected data were analysed through the simple percentage calculation method. The study revealed that overall 84.4% of users were ‘aware’ of the ICT enabled information services selected for the study. The study also provided a bri...

The paper studied many aspects of the RFID application, its budgeting, purchase process and application. It also studied advantages and limitation of RFID Technology, Documentation and Financial Implication, Challenges faced in initial stage and remedies. A structured questionnaire was designed to collect the raw data. This study employs the method of quantitative research to gather an in-depth understanding of the nature of usage of RFID system among users of SRCASW (Shaheed Rajguru College of Applied Sciences for Women) library. This study shows many authentic conclusions on data accuracy, speedy circulation, easy book identification, extension of library service, cost effectiveness, security of library materials and other value added services. Orientation program for the RFID enabled is very much important. The NFC technology can be used along with the RFID, as the application radio frequency is same in both the technology , this also incorporated in this study.

This study may act as a guide for online databases and interface design in the development of more accessible web products. Librarians caring about accessibility have information enabling them to make better procurement decisions and to challenge vendors through specific questions about their products functionality. The findings of this study may alert professionals who help online library databases users of assistive technology to the potential difficulties involved in searching specific library databases. The aim of this study was to examine the data retrieval techniques as offered and made available by online database providers and users expectation and feedback on this issues, different accessibility features of the online databases, different aspects of the feasibility of the sites of the online databases, different menu driven or command oriented retrieval techniques of online databases. Identification and evaluation of different data retrieval features on the basis of the per...
