Digital Environment - The Challenges and Opportunities
Pearl: A Journal of Library and Information Science, 2010Co-Authors: R. S. R. VaralakshmiAbstract:The forms and formats of knowledge creation, storage and delivery mechanisms underwent unprecedented changes with the application of information communication technologies. Changes are natural in the growth of any profession. However the challenges of the contemporary Digital Environment are significant and to cope with them the professionals have to learn and act beyond the boundaries of the LIS profession. The article discusses the challenges posed and the new opportunities opened for the LIS professionals in the Digital Environment. Suggestion has been made for attitudinal change to sustain in the Digital Environment.

COLLECTION MANAGEMENT IN Digital Environment: POLICY STATEMENT FOR UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES IN INDIA.
SRELS Journal of Information Management, 2004Co-Authors: R. S. R. VaralakshmiAbstract:The paper analyzes the present collection development procedures under the impact of electronic information Environment. The emergence of new media supercedes the well- established social network of print and publication. The Digital electronic materials offer reduced production costs and more sophisticated method of use. The interest of the university libraries in India is to strike a balance between print and electronic resources. The article reviews various solutions that have been proposed to solve the issues of collection management in India and abroad. Suggests policies to be considered for effective planning of collection management in the Digital Environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

teaching in a Digital Environment tide defining and measuring teachers capacity to develop students Digital information and communication skills
Computers in Education, 2018Co-Authors: Magdalena Claro, Alvaro Salinas, Tania Cabellohutt, Ernesto San Martin, David D Preiss, Susana Valenzuela, Ignacio JaraAbstract:Abstract The study presented in this paper consisted in defining a Teaching in a Digital Environment (TIDE) capacity construct and developing a performance-based test to measure Chilean teachers' ability to teach students how to solve information and communication tasks in a Digital Environment. The test was applied to a sample of 828 in-service teachers in Chile, together with a characterization questionnaire. Results showed that very few Chilean teachers mastered all the tasks and that only one third were able to provide students with orientations in solving information and communication tasks, revealing that the majority are not playing a mediation role in a Digital Environment. In relation to explaining variables, science and younger teachers with more years of teaching experience performed better in the test. Nevertheless the low explanation provided by the variables included suggests that variables that have previously accounted for teachers ICT integration are not as good in predicting TIDE capacity. This shows the relevance of developing mixed methods research that together with quantitative data provides qualitative data to help explain this capacity in greater depth.

from printed world to a Digital Environment
Library Management, 2005Co-Authors: Jarmo SaartiAbstract:Purpose – To determine and define the role of repository libraries in Finland for a medium‐sized university library in the Digital Environment.Design/methodology/approach – Literature and strategy‐based conceptual analysis and a case study of the role of different types of scientific library and information service actors in Finland.Findings – The Finnish University Libraries and Ministry of Education have made strategic solutions in order to ensure an effective national collection policy. Digital materials are acquired mainly via the University Libraries' consortium, FinELib. The older and less used printed materials are collected in the National Repository Library. Modern technologies and logistic solutions are used in ensuring the effective end‐user services. Thus each library can make its own strategic collection policy decisions based on these national services.Research limitations/implications – Based on conditions in Finland.Practical implications – Gives an example of a national collection policy ...
