Introduction
The claim today is that we live in knowledge societies that represent a major departure from the kinds of societies we have lived in the past. Over the years numerous societies were created with different attributes and value systems. The single largest changing element was found to be none other than Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Knowledge has become sole ingredient to make any society/societies rich in its living, thinking, introspecting and pushing ahead the future plans also. All sections of people from different societies are very much affected the new trends in research and development of the different fields of knowledge. Sometimes knowledge society precedes the information society as the thinkers claim. But this much is true that the professions and people across the disciplines and subjects are affected by newly formed knowledge societies. The main driving force behind any knowledge society is the development of cyber world or Internet which gave a paradigm shift in shaping the economic development and standard of living of modern men.
About Professor J C Binwal
Born on 19th December 1939 at Nainital, Professor Jagdish Chandra Binwal holds degrees of Master of Arts in Sociology with a first class from Kashi Vidyapeeth; Master in Library Science from University of Delhi with first class first position; and Ph.D. in Library and Information Science from Karnatak University. He did his post-doctoral work for some time at the University of Pittsburgh (USA) as a Senior Fulbright Fellow. Starting his career as a Professional Assistant in BHU Library in 1961, he rose to the position of Deputy Librarian. He remained associated with both the Library and teaching at the Department of Library and Information Science, BHU till he joined North Eastern Hill University (NEHU), Shillong in 1978 as Librarian. He organized NEHU Library from scratch and continued to manage it till 1992.
Besides managing the Library, he also took initiative to train manpower to meet the growing needs of libraries in North East India, first by launching a program of Certificate course in Library and Information Science and, later on, by starting the Department of Library and Information Science. The department was started in 1985 with a 2 years integrated Masters program in Library and Information Science, which was the first of its kind in the entire country. Subsequently, several universities adopted this model and today this is the model in currency.
Professor Binwal held several positions in NEHU such as, University Librarian; Head, Department of Library and Information Science; Dean, School of Library and Information Science; Dean, School of Economics, Management and Information Science; and Honorary Joint Director, ICSSR North Eastern Regional Centre. He was member of the Executive Council, NEHU for nearly 7 years. Besides NEHU, he was also a member of the Executive Council of Arunachal Pradesh University for three years. Outside NEHU, he was member of several committees such as Board of Studies, Research Committee, selection committee of several universities and other institutions. He also served as Professor of Library and Information Science at Sana’a University, Republic of Yemen from 1996 to 1998.
His contribution to LIS literature include three books and sixty articles on varied subjects such as Knowledge Organization; Knowledge Management; User Studies; Information Technology and its applications to LIS. His students are in four digits and are spread all over the length and breadth of the country. His research scholars also include students from Yemen and Bangladesh.

l conference of librarians and booklovers in Prague in 1926 a proposal to set up an international committee with representatives of national library associations was accepted. This was acted upon during the British Library Association conference in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1927, when an international library and bibliographic committee was created by the representative associations from fifteen countries. IFLA was registered in the Netherlands in 1971. The name was changed to International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions in 1976. Its headquarter is located at The Royal Library, the national library of the Netherlands, in The Hague. IFLA’s website, formerly known as IFLANET is available over web at <http://www.ifla.org/>.
a) Objectives: The federation is an independent non-governmental and non profit making professional organization. In 2004, the Governing Board decided to endorse a new model for IFLA's operations, the three pillars that are supported by the infrastructure offered by the Federation's governance structures, its website and its Headquarters (HQ) in The Hague. These three pillars are- Society Pillar, Professional Pillar, and the Members’ Pillar.
i) The Society Pillar: It focuses on the role and impact of libraries and information services in society and the contextual issues that condition and constrain the environment in which they operate across the world. Those issues are addressed currently through FAIFE, CLM, Blue Shield, and the advocacy in the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and other arenas.
ii) The Profession Pillar: It focuses on the issues covered by the long established Core Activities - ALP, ICADS (webmaster: formerly known as ICABS), PAC, UNIMARC - and the Sections and Divisions. They lie at the core of our professional practice and help libraries and information services to fulfil their purposes and to shape responses to the needs of the clients in a rapidly changing global environment.
iii) The Members Pillar: It is of course central to IFLA. It includes the services they offer to members, management of their membership of IFLA, conferences and publications. We must work together to make IFLA more vibrant and attractive and beneficial for members throughout the world.
b) Organization: The governing structure of IFLA has been revised and came into force in 2001. The General Council of Members is the supreme governing body, consisting of delegates of voting Members. It normally meets every year during the annual conference. The Governing Board is responsible for the managerial and professional direction of IFLA within guidelines approved by Council. The Governing Board meets at least twice every year, once at the time and place of the annual World Library and Information Congress. The Executive Committee has executive responsibility delegated by the Governing Board to oversee the direction of IFLA between meetings of this Board within the policies established by the Board. It is the duty of the Professional Committee to ensure coordination of the work of all the IFLA units responsible for professional activities, policies and programmes (Sections, Core Activities, Special Interest Groups).
c) Membership: Till 2009 IFLA have 1600 Members approximately in 150 countries around the world. IFLA has two main categories of voting members: Association Members and Institutional Members. Besides these, it has also Honorary Members (Honorary Presidents, Honorary Fellows, IFLA Medal). Over the years the membership has been expanded to include individual libraries, library schools and other appropriate institutions as well as personal affiliates.
d) Functions and Activities: The issues common to library and information services around the world are the concern of the IFLA Core Activities. Directed by the Professional Committee, the objectives and projects of the Core Activities relate to the Federation's Programme and the priorities of the Divisions and Sections. Some of the major core programmes are given below.
i) Action for Development through Libraries Programme (ALP): The ALP Programme was launched in 1984 at the IFLA Conference in Nairobi, Kenya, and was the subject of intensive discussion between 1987 and 1989. It was further developed and defined during 1990 and 1991 as a special project and is fully operational ever since. The name of the Programme was originally "Advancement of Librarianship Programme", but in 2004 it was changed to "Action for Development through Libraries Programme". However, the acronym still remains as "ALP". The mission of ALP is to further the library profession, library institutions and library and information services in the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Oceania, Latin America and the Caribbean.
ii) Preservation and Conservation (PAC): IFLA Core Activity on Preservation and Conservation (PAC) was officially created during the IFLA annual conference in Nairobi in 1984 to focus efforts on issues of preservation and to initiate worldwide cooperation for the preservation of library materials. The PAC programme was effectively launched in Vienna during the 1986 Conference on the Preservation of Library Materials co-organized by the Conference of the Directors of National Libraries, IFLA and UNESCO.
iii) IFLA-CDNL Alliance for Digital Strategies (ICADS): ICADS is a joint alliance of IFLA and the Conference of Directors of National Libraries (CDNL). The alliance was established in August 2008 as a successor to ICABS (IFLA-CDNL Alliance for Bibliographic Standards) which was established as a national libraries initiative in 2003.
iv) IFLA UNIMARC: Succeeding to the IFLA UBCIM Core Activity, the IFLA UNIMARC Core Activity (UCA) was established in 2003 with the responsibility for the maintenance and development of the Universal MARC format (UNIMARC).
IFLA’s previous programme includes Universal Bibliographic Control (UBC) launched in 1973, International MARC Programme (IMP) established officially in 1983, Universal Availability of Publication (UAP) taken up in 1973, etc. Some other programmes and activities of IFLA are:
v) Publication: Each issue of IFLA Journal (Quarterly) covers news of current IFLA activities and articles, selected to reflect the variety of the international information profession, ranging from freedom of information, preservation, services to the visually impaired and intellectual property.
Council Report (biennial) records IFLA's achievements in five key areas: access to information, the electronic environment, preservation and conservation, services and standards and professional development. The IFLA publications series include such titles as Intelligent library buildings, and adapting marketing to libraries in a changing worldwide environment. The IFLA Professional Reports series feature reports of professional meetings and guidelines to best practice. Recent reports include Proceedings of the IFLA/UNESCO pre-conference seminar on public libraries and Guidelines for easy-to-read materials.
Besides the above, many IFLA groups (Divisions, Core Activities, Sections and Special Interest Groups) have their own newsletters. Some are produced regularly, others only appear sporadically. Each year the proceedings of the World Library and Information Congress, IFLA General Conference and Assembly are made available on the IFLA website. It also publishes International Cataloguing and Bibliographic Control (ICBC) Journal, IFLA Directory, International cataloguing, world directory of administrative libraries, world directory of map collection, LIBRI- Library journal.
vi) Seminars, Conference and Workshop: IFLA regularly holds “World Library and Information Congress: IFLA General Conference and Assembly” and Regional Meetings. IFLA’s general conferences are large scale conference. In 1961 IFLA holds the international conference on cataloguing principles in Paris.
vii) Fellowships, Funds and Grants: IFLA administers a number of Grants and Scholarships to enable the aspiring library and information professionals from all over the world to enhance their training and to provide funding for new and exciting projects in the field of librarianship. Such programmes include Guust Van Wesemael Literacy Prize, IFLA International Marketing Award, Jay Jordan IFLA/OCLC Early Career Development Fellowship, Margreet Wijnstroom Fund, Dr Shawky Salem Conference Grant (SSCG), etc
viii) Cooperation: IFLA is now quite an active international organization. It has Formal Associate Relations with UNESCO, observer status with the United Nations, associate status with the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) and observer status with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). In 1999, it established observer status with the World Trade Organization (WTO). It has also offered consultative status to a number of non-governmental organizations operating in related fields, including the International Publishers Association (IPA). It is also a member of the International Council on Archives (ICA), International Council of Museums (ICOM), the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), and the International Committee of the Blue Shield (ICBS). Again, till 2009 more than 25 corporations in the information industry have formed a working relationship with IFLA under its Corporate Partners scheme.
ix) Standardization: IFLA has standardized international loan request form in 1935 and has been progressively revising it since then. IFLA developed and published in 1974 the International Standard Bibliographic Description for Monographic Publication [ISBD(M)] as the basis for rules of description of monographic material in AACR-II. In 1975 IFLA and the Joint Steering Committee for the revision of AACR - (JSC/AACR) jointly developed General International Standard Bibliographic Description [ISBD(G)]. It serves as a framework for the description of all types of publication.
x) Mailing Lists and Forum: Sympa software provides web access to IFLA’s lot of mailing lists. IFLA also serves as an international forum for librarians and advises international bodies relating to library and information science. It provides expert advice and assistance in the planning and development of library services.
IFLA advises libraries on matters such as interlibrary loan practices, copyright laws, library building design, and development of legal deposit regulations that entitle national libraries to receive copies of every work registered for copyright in their respective countries. It also stimulates cooperation among writers, scholars, publishers, and libraries, and it assists librarians in promoting literacy and universal access to knowledge. In addition, IFLA advocates the formation of a worldwide information network.
India is represented in the Executive Board of IFLA. In October, 1985 ILA organised the IFLA’s regional seminar on UAP in New Delhi. ILA also hosted 58th General Conference of IFLA in New Delhi from August 30-Septermber 5, 1992.…

Read the following passage carefully and answer question numbers from 37 to 42:
In terms of labour, for decades the relatively low cost and high quality of Japanese workers conferred considerable competitive advantage across numerous durable goods and consumer electronics industries (eg. Machinery, automobiles, televisions, radios), then labour-based advantages shifted to South Korea, then to Malaysia, Mexico and other nations. Today, China appears to be capitalizing best on the basic of labour, Japanese firms still remain competitive in markets for such durable goods, electronics and other products, but the labour force is no longer sufficient for competitive advantage over manufacturers in other industrializing nations. Such shifting of labour-based advantage is clearly not limited to manufacturing industries. Today a huge number of IT and service jobs are moving from Europe and North America to India, Singapore and like countries with relatively well-educated, low-cost workforces possessing technical skills. However, as educational level and technical skills continue to rise in other countries, India, Singapore and like nations enjoying labour-based competitive advantage today are likely to find such advantage cannot be sustained through emergence of new competitions.
In terms of capital, for centuries the days of gold coin and later even paper money restricted financial flows. Subsequently regional concentrations were formed where large banks, industries and markets coalesced. But today capital flows internationally at rapid speed. Global commerce no longer requires regional interactions among business players. Regional capital concentrations in places such as New York, London and Tokyo still persist of course, but the capital concentrated there is no longer sufficient for competitive advantage over other capitalists distributed worldwide, Only if an organization is able to combine, integrate and apply its resources (eg. Land, labour, capital, IT) in an effective manner that is not readily imitable by competitors can such as organization enjoy competitive advantage sustainable overtime.
In a knowledge-based theory of the firm, this idea is extended to view organizational knowledge as recourse with at least the same level of power and importance as the traditional economic inputs. An organization with superior knowledge can achieve competitive advantage in markets that appreciate the application of such knowledge. Semiconductors, genetic engineering, pharmaceuticals, software, military warfare, and like knowledge-intensive competitive arenas provide both time-proven and current examples. Consider semiconductors (e. g. computer chips), which are made principles of sand and common metals, these ubiquitous and powerful electronics devices are designed within common office building, using commercially available tools, and fabricated within factories in many industrialized nations. Hence land is not the key competitive recourse in the semiconductor industry.
Based on the passage answer the following questions:
37. How can an organization enjoy competitive advantage sustainable overtime?

Library Web 2.0 Information Portal
Ajax-enabled Web 2.0-style portal
A Portal refers to a page that allows users to customize their own homepage by dragging and dropping widgets onto the page. This approach gives users complete control over what content they see on their page, where they want to see it, and how they want to interact with it.
A widget is a discrete piece on a Web page that performs a particular function and comes with its own UI and set of features.
An Ajax-powered portal is specifically a portal that uses Ajax technologies to create richer experiences for its users.
It is one step ahead of previous generation portals like My Yahoo, iGoogle or MSN.com, because it gives you state-of-the-art UI that behaves more like a Windows client application -- with widgets, animations, pop-ups, client side data grids, and other effects not usually found on a non-Ajax Web portal.
Ajax web portals are among the most extreme implementations of client-side technologies you will find on the Web.
A web portal, especially one that is Ajax-powered, gives users a fun way to browse the Internet.
The web portal can also help users become more productive by allowing them to check email, read news, and get weather reports from a single page.
