Library Personalization provides the library with a viable mechanism to manipulate the information base using available technologies so that the library appears as a set of separate smaller libraries holding more effective content to individual users. It helps users to start with a generic library and by making selections and choices create a personal library with pre selected and most relevant information resources. Also the user can view the different services offered by the library through a single interface with links to different services and resources in multiple servers inside and outside the library. It has also been designed to enable faculty members and researchers busy with teaching and research work to save the considerable time spent in collecting information rather than using it. Evolution of full text information in electronic format like e books e journals and web resources along with emerging database and web technology made it feasible to connect content as per users interests. With the advent of electronic full text resources and especially the internet users need a Web like search and access at the click of a link facility for information resources stored in the library also which is fully met through personalization services. In the absence of such personal information support users be left to fend for themselves and forced to scan the information overload through library OPACs electronic databases networked electronic content etc. which may often lead to information under use severely hampering research and teaching output. 230 pp. Seller Inventory # 63357
