Development of all types is dependent on right decision. Right decision in turn depends on right information at right time. Information remains an essential input for research and development of all types. The progress of society is dependent on the level of information its people have. Information, therefore, needs to be communicated freely, with unrestricted flow. There is information explosion now. The problem today is how to cope with this huge and difficult-to- control mass of information. How to provide a right user his right information by sorting out the core- information from ever-expanding mass of chaff is another problem. The processing, retrieving, evaluating, and packaging of generated information is one aspect, communication of pin-pointed and exhaustive information to the scholars, scientists, specialists, decision-makers and other consumers is another, and more important one. In this process of managing and communication of information, the present day technological advances are playing a vital role. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in fact have brought about a revolution. Computers are now being used for the processing, consolidating, and communicating information. Telecommunication networks are there to handle digital machine readable data and to transfer it. ICT advances have made it possible to provide library services and access to information even outside the library. The LIS scene as such is changing fast in the face of new challenges and in response to new demands. The advent of new technologies and their application to LIS work and services has further accelerated the pace of this change. Today, total knowledge and information, which is presently available in the libraries, can be put on the World Wide Web, making the libraries totally web-based. Peers in the field of Library and Information Science have come together and joined hands to present the ICT Based Information Management in Indian Libraries. This Volume contains in all 34 papers: Two on Sahoo, five on Knowledge Management, 17 on ICT Application, two on HRD, two on Reading Habits and Accessing Information, two on Information Seeking Behaviour and four on other related topics. And all this as a tribute to and in honour of Professor (Dr.) K.C. Sahoo, Dean, Dr. Harisingh Gour University, Sagar(M.P.) ISBN - 9789380574332
