Libraries
are slowly turning into an information exchange hub of an
organization, rather than earlier role of a "store house" of knowledge.
Knowledge stored in the form of invaluable books, journals, other information
materials and the latest e-Resources is showcased in the Library for
its Users. Boundaries of the Libraries are expanding beyond four
walls and Library professionals are gearing up to take up the
challenge of using IT in disseminating authentic, latest and right
kind of information to the right type of audiences.
With the rapidly growing advancements in every field, more
and more documents are becoming available the world over, in
both printed and electronic format. No library can afford
to stock every necessary document in the area of its users'
interests, but it certainly can provide a 'link' to the User to locate
desired information. Networking and Resource sharing thus assumes a great
importance at this juncture and such a solution
is being effectively provided by the "Ahmedabad
Library Network" (ADINET) to the users and librarians
specializing in any discipline of knowledge and
available
anywhere in the world.
