So, the library and information science professionals used to get ready to face the challenges emerging due to the adoption of newer technologies. An attempt has been made in the present volume to synthesize all aspects of library and information science and ICT and to put them in the systematic order at one place to understand the conceptual phenomena and to render the better and effective services to the patterns. This book not only deals with the theoretical aspects on different topics, but there are also some case studies which show the path to march forward. The emergence of Internet as a new media of information delivery, digitization, Innovations in agricultural information system, plagiarism, farm advisory services, RFID, Barcode technology, KOHA, Moodle, etc., have been discussed in one way or the other in the proposed book.
