    Pawan R. Agrawal
    E Discovery Tools and Applications in Modern Libraries, 2016
    This chapter explores Google Search as an information discovery tool and various similar retrieval tools facilitated by Google such as Google Scholar, Google Patents, Google Books, and Google CSE etc. It also confers various search strategies offered by Google to carry out search queries. All services availed by Google are substantially very helpful for the library professionals to disseminate information services to their clientele. Google tools may be used by the libraries to upgrade their library and information services almost at no cost. Invention of Google and prodigious services of Google has turned our current era into Google era. The argument made in this chapter relates the facilities offered by Google to modern libraries, and information retrieval services.
  • Digital information management: Preserving tomorrow's memory
    Pawan R. Agrawal
    Cloud Computing and Virtualization Technologies in Libraries, 2013
    The most burning issue of today’s electronic generation, where information generation is a task of seconds, is to save the information in a form that could successfully be read tomorrow. It is easily understandable that if one keeps a book in a drawer and open it after 10 years, one may hope to get it back and read it, possibly with some damage, but this is not the case for information stored in a Compact Disc (CD) or any other electronic device. This chapter projects at understanding digital preservation issues and identifying appropriate solutions to manage digital information. This chapter also aims to identify the projects undergoing throughout the world for digital preservation. This chapter overall discusses the speedy obsolescence, short-lived technologies, and other issues in digital preservation with the identified and possible strategies of digital preservation.
