It makes a case for the library's staying power in the face of technological advancements (television, microfilm, and CD-ROM's were all once predicted as the contemporary library's heir-apparent), and devotes individual chapters to the pitfalls and prevarications of popular search engines, e-books, and the mass digitization of traditional print material.

Download or read book ICT Based Library and Information Services written by Akhtar Hussain and published by Ess Ess Publication. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today is the information age and a tremendous flow of information is emerging in all fields throughout the world. As such, it has become very difficult to manage the information manually due to the exponential growth of literature. The problem of providing timely information is not due to lack of information, but the way in which it is handled to enable the user to fulfill his/her needs. The traditional way of information handling methods has become almost ineffective in providing the specific information of an individual's interest. To overcome this problem, libraries and learning resource centers need to change their attitude towards information handling. ICT-based information handling is a viable solution in this direction. Technological developments assist the libraries in providing extensive access to the variety of information sources and provide a way to enrich the teaching and learning environment. Accessibility to the required information at a fast rate is expected by users. This book deals with the application of ICT-based library and information services.

Download or read book ICT Tools and Applications for Accessible Tourism written by Eusébio, Celeste and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contribution of tourism to create an inclusive society requires the adoption of new approaches and strategies that promote the accessibility of tourism destinations, allowing all people, regardless of their health condition, to enjoy tourism experiences. To accomplish this objective, it is of utmost relevance to promote the active involvement of all stakeholders of the tourism system (demand, supply, government entities, and educational institutions) in the creation of accessible and adapted tourism products. However, the scarce literature in this area suggests that the people working in the tourism industry are not usually aware of several needs and travel constraints of persons with disabilities and that the information delivered by traditional information sources to this market is frequently inadequate, inaccurate, or incomplete. Therefore, the information and communication technologies (ICTs) may have a crucial role to overcome the several travel constraints that these people face to plan and carry out a tourism trip as well as to enable supply agents to develop accessible tourism products. Despite this, although in recent years research regarding accessible tourism has increased, the number of studies on the contributions of ICTs for the development of accessible research is scarce. ICT Tools and Applications for Accessible Tourism provides theoretical and practical contributions for accessible tourism in the growing tourism market for social responsibility issues and as an excellent business opportunity. Chapters within this critical reference source cover the academic discussion of global accessible tourism, increased knowledge of disabilities, ICTs that can be used, and emerging technologies. This book is intended for all practitioners in the tourism industry along with IT specialists, government officials, policymakers, marketers, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in the latest tools, technologies, and research on accessible tourism.
