Abstract

With the advent of the World Wide Web, internet has become integral part of the library and it facilitated libraries as global platform for knowledge sharing. Powerful searching tools and techniques have emerged in this sector, such as internet search engines, information portals, multi format publishers and online content integrators etc. Google itself provides enough opportunities to become library a global player for the access of scholarly information, this article focuses on few general aspects e-learning with a modern digital library in the context of the changing role of librarians. E-searching offers new opportunities for library professionals, staff, users and researchers. Finally it emphasizes the impact of libraries by the way of providing easy library access, information retrieval and management of e-resources in digital environment. Keywords: Internet, Search engine, Google, E-Learning, E-resources, Searching techniques.

Highlights

Unlike the traditional information search and retrieval system in the library, e-searching have made possible to provide a free and fast access opportunity to researchers on the internet. This open search approach is especially useful in digging out data, information and resources from the universe of knowledge for learning and research purpose and e-resource management in digital environment, library and information centre has been hub for providing centralised access of internet based information products and library services since the use of computers is increased in libraries for information processing, storage, retrieval of Information, and management of digital asset in the libraries
Evaluation of several library website have been made to collect knowledge substances for this study, no previous studies were reported on integrated approach of the e-learning, e-searching and e-resource management pertaining to impact of information technology on library activities, it is first attempt being made to understand and evaluate the wide use of internet in libraries as an information resource in open access environment at global level
The use of computers and the Internet constitute the major component of e-learning. It can be termed as an internet enabled sharing of skills and knowledge, and the transfer of knowledge is made possible to a large number of recipients at the same or different times

Summary

Introduction

Unlike the traditional information search and retrieval system in the library, e-searching have made possible to provide a free and fast access opportunity to researchers on the internet This open search approach is especially useful in digging out data, information and resources from the universe of knowledge for learning and research purpose and e-resource management in digital environment, library and information centre has been hub for providing centralised access of internet based information products and library services since the use of computers is increased in libraries for information processing, storage, retrieval of Information, and management of digital asset in the libraries. Libraries could be open institutions that can become spaces of discovery and learning, allowing users to dig out information from the universe of knowledge of their interest areas. The approaches described here include library based integrated research facility and eresource management in the libraries
