Advantages Of ICT In Libraries

Public libraries are a vital part of society, and as a free-of-cost space that can immensely benefit anyone’s life, regardless of who they are, I believe that they deserve to be preserved. Libraries are a perfect example of everything that American democracy represents, they progress the growth and modernization of the American people, and they conform to society in a way where they stay true to what a library has always been while also allowing people to have fun and expand their horizons. While libraries originally were only a source of information where people could go to educate themselves beyond the school system, they have come to evolve in fascinating and valuable ways. As cater’s to society’s needs, we owe it to public libraries, and especially ourselves, to allow these ever-changing organizations to thrive.

In past decade the ICT (Information Communication Technology) is very firstly develop and impact to the society, i.e. called IT Society. Various type of ICT applications are provides the knowledge’s and information to the users. Presently ICT emerge to digital library. Various academic institutions published project report, thesis, article, etc. The digital library also help the institution repositories collection, organized, managed and pacific information dissimilate. Some digital libraries are work on the project of national and international level for developing the universal digital library.

According to The Hechinger Report, more than nine out of ten school uses technology in school than they did in 2003. Technology have almost completely become part of our daily lives. We use them everyday, every second, for almost everything. The debate of whether school should use technology in classroom is not only for schools, but also for parents and students. Using technology in classroom from all grades has been a controversial debate for the last decades (Top Hat).

It is no doubt that most people are afraid to change. However, they said “the only thing unchanged is change itself,” which I find quite true. People need to adjust themselves and try to adopt new things, no matter they want or not. It is the same when talking about teaching English to speakers of other languages. Students are different nowadays. They are greatly exposed to new inventions and technologies. Therefore, if teachers stick to the traditional ways of teaching and do not change at all, soon or later they will be eliminated, if not completely, at least to a certain degree.

There are so many ways to integrate technology into your lessons. It is not always possible due to the lack of money and time but as teachers we can always implement some ways to help achieve our goals.

Let us look at some simple ways to integrate technology into our classroom and lessons.

ICT or Information Communication Technology is an extension of the commonly known term of Information Technology (IT), but ICT focuses mainly on the Communications side of things. It is the merger of all the computer systems in an organisation. This is done by enterprise systems which work by the integration of different components such as data bases and workstations, which work collectively to carry out the input, processing, output and storage. In turn the data is converted and is then presented as information which can be used to support forecasting, planning, control, coordination and decision making in departments such as Marketing, Accounting and Human Resources. ICT is dependent on how the five basic resources People, Software,

The main problem are the lack of Information Technology (IT) staff, the lact of spending plan, lack of digital library initiatives (DLIs) and ICT preparing, reestablishment of online memberships, lack of and under use of digital assets, and lack of appropriate incorporated library system. Another related problems is lack of staff, lack of blueprint and National Information Infrastructure (NII) arrangement, digital undertaking was excessively costly which could be expected, making it impossible to budget and cost oblige, lack of good example and issues identified with Copyright Act clearance. It is hard to advance if not supported by sufficient facilities, budget, preparing, administration support and skilled staff. It was found that exclusive 54% of the libraries have introduced a coordinated library systems, which means 46% were still without library systems. It is difficult to envision that in the digital time, where the Internet has changed the way we live, there were still libraries without library

Some have mentioned on above, which is recent studies have highlighted a big number of difficulties. Only half of the print books acquired by academic libraries are available as e-books, which mean is not that important. Academic e-books cost substantially more than print editions when acquired individually. The preservation of e-books is very difficult because it needs the long-term maintenance of several distinct elements like example texts, software, file formats, hardware, and operating systems. Sustainable access to e-books is hindered by impermanent physical media, proprietary file formats and software, and restrictive license

In traditional time all information’s including books, journals articles, manuscripts, photographs etc. are recorded in leaves, clay tablets, papers and same materials are kept in the libraries. After development of Information Communication Technology (ICT) maximum information are publishing in digital format. Currently various software are available for convert the print format to digital format. It is called digital resources. The digital information’s are save the space for library. For example Encyclopaedia Britannica are published 32 volumes set in print format but same information’s are available in CD-ROM, DVD and online.

As technology becomes more advanced many people tend to use it more often.They see that technology allows them to do things quickly and easily. One example is paying a bill online. It’s a quick and easy process to learn. However, not all websites are made to only pay bills. Some are made to shop, entertain, inform, or to help an organization. Many people don’t really see what methods people use to attract many people to go online. Nowadays many companies have created their own websites to have their customers use at their convenience. Air1.com is an uncommon website, created by the Air 1 radio station which plays Christian music. The Air1 website contains rhetorical appeals using Ethos, Pathos, and Logos to persuade listeners of the Air1 radio station to keep it on air.

The key actors in NLB's organizational transformation included the members of a statutory board. The function of this board was to ensure that there was a body to formulate necessary policies and provide a mechanism for communication among different stakeholders and maintaining a functioning network. The statutory board as an entity comes into being through a special governmental act that establishes a board of governors that in turn has a greater degree of flexibility than other government agencies with comparable authority. The second key set of actors were the members of the National Library Board and the committee containing members of that board to determine the needs of the national library system over the next generation. The CEO and other NLB managers can be considered to be a separate group of actors from the board as a whole since they had greater authority and took a leading role in the creative aspects of the process.

Freeman Dyson has said, “Technology is a gift of God, after the gift of life; it is perhaps the greatest of God’s gift. It is the monitor civilizations of arts and sciences”. With technology, they can get things done precisely, efficiently and fast. Wireless communication devices keep you connected wherever you go. These things were developed due to greater inventions and creativity of their designers. But on the other hand, there are still places or institutions that have a slow growth of development when it comes to advancement of technology. And one of these that caught the proponent’s attention is the library.
