Pioneering efforts in the field of library automation were made by INSDOC, BARC, DRTC, TIFR and others in 1960s and 1970s. Attempts were made to use automatic systems for indexing, cataloguing and searching. In 1980s, with the advent of modern information technology and availability of affordable hardware, many libraries initiated computerization of library activities. Developments of National Information Systems like NISSAT, NNRMS, DESIDOC, NASSDOC, etc. also helped accelerate the speed of library automation in India. By mid 1980s, the importance of computerized library network was realized and many library personnel proposed setting up of computerized information systems in different fields of specialization like, national network of health information system, central information system for defence, national network of industrial information, etc. With the development of telecommunication, digital media for storage and application of artificial intelligence to library activities, year 2000 saw the libraries moving towards digitization.

The faculties considerably increased their national and international collaboration during the investigated period. Nowadays, the average paper is published cooperatively by three German partners, including the circa 30% of the papers which are published in cooperation with other German medical faculties. About 80% of the papers are now published with partners from foreign countries. Only the international cooperation shows a significant positive correlation with citation performance. Domestic inter-faculty cooperation profiles moderately change in consecutive two-years periods. Cooperation is only to a very small extent negatively correlated with distance. A strong correlation exists between the sizes of the faculties' publication outputs and their importance as cooperation partners. The inter-faculty cooperation profiles do not show any reminiscence of Germany's former political divison.

In 1914, the first instructional film library was established at the Chicago Bureau of Visual Instruction. In 1924, the American Library Association (ALA) formally recognized the importance of non-print materials in libraries by establishing the Visual Methods Committee and appointing a committee on Relations between Libraries and Moving Pictures. During the 1970s different types of video formats evolved from U-matic videotapes, to Beta videotapes, to VHS, to videodiscs. 1980s brought the "video revolution". The dawn of 1990s saw the "Digital revolution" in libraries. During this time media librarians grappled with a major technological development, the introduction of multimedia CD-ROMs. The literature available on the role of a television media library can be categorized in two broad categories. One, dealing with the role of a television media library in general and the others dealing with the specific role like research. The literature survey on the status of television media librarians revealed both gloomy and a bright picture of the status. Components of the Commercial Video Industry and Organisational Chart for a Broadcast Television Station have been emphasized in the study. Discusses information seeking behaviour and services provided by the media libraries. It has been observed that a very less emphasis has been laid on education of media librarianship. In Indian context, it is observed that the skills related to media librarianship are something most media librarians learn on the job and not in the classroom, nor in professional development courses. The role of digitization and robotics have been considered by the telecast media libraries.

In the traditional library environment Cataloging in Publication (CIP) is very popular and the library staff can make use of CIP records to generate minimal cataloguing information. With the advent of Internet and the presence of book industry on the Net, the growing importance of metadata has resulted in ONIX (ONline Information eXchange). The benefits of crosswalk between ONIX and Dublin Core are too obvious to be ignored, as it saves the time of cataloguers in generating metadata in Dublin Core for the e-books or even printed books acquired by a library. Investigates the possibility of generating required metadata from available metadata formats, particularly the most popular Dublin Core (DC) from ONIX and presents mapping between ONIX and Qualified Dublin Core.

Gone are the days when libraries were the only source of information. Now, more than ever, libraries are no longer the centre of the information universe. While librarians never truly had a monopoly on information, the "market share", especially with the advent of globally networked computers, has declined considerably. There are many more people and institutions providing information services today than even five years ago. Consequently, it forces librarian to think more aggressively about marketing the information and knowledge products and services if it expect to be around in the future.

Information technology has had a great effect on the flow of scholarly communication, the research community and scholarly publishing. It is now practically universally accepted that scholarly journals will have to be available in digital formats. What is not settled is whether they can be much less expensive than print journals. Most traditional print publishers still claim, just as they have claimed for years, that switching to an electronic format can save at most 30 percent of the costs, namely the expenses of printing and mailing.

Extends earlier research by one of the authors on co-activity and patenting publication trade-offs in Nano-Science and Technology. Co-activity is defined at the individual level. Researchers are viewed as co-active if they both publish and patent in nano-science and technology. Study explores co-activity drawing on a data set of UK nanoscience publications and nanotechnology patents. More specifically, it examines whether there are different types of inventor-authors and the extent to which normalizing citation counts by publication frequencies upsets the distributions observed in earlier work. Earlier research indicated, also for the UK nano-science and technology, that overall there seems to be no adverse relationship between publication and patenting activity. Patenting scientists appeared to outperform their solely publishing, non-inventing peers in terms of publication counts and citation frequency. Findings suggest that co-active researchers do not necessarily perform better than their non-inventing peers in terms of 'normalized' citation counts. The findings indicated that they do not perform worse either but are represented among topcited authors in accordance with their overall share. If one excludes occasional authors with one or two contributions inventor-authors are over-represented again. Furthermore, the study illustrates that there are different levels of co-activity to be observed among UK inventor-authors.

International collaboration is the result of personal contacts established among scientists in different countries, initiated through informal communication, and later developing into documented research collaboration. Information technologies are changing the structure of communication in science, allowing for faster, cheaper and easier collaboration among partners. Sees collaboration as a process that ends in coauthorship in published scientific work. Since much of the literature confuses coauthorship with collaboration, we are interested in the semantic meaning that collaboration has for practicing scientists. Present a study of the shared semantic meaning of the concept of international collaboration using the Natural Semantic Networks technique in five disciplines at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Results show that there is consensus over certain hierarchically represented meanings, such as formal and informal contacts, networks, international meetings, international publications, common interests, the role of short visits, longer stays, invitations and students exchange, as meanings of international collaboration.
