For the first time in history, the WWW with its suite of standards and respective technologies made significant strides in the field of information transfer and knowledge management by liberating the basic static nature of the ordinary text, making it dynamic and powerful. The Web has opened up a new school of thought, the hypertext world, with its unquestioned ability in distributed computing on a global scale. The purpose of this paper is to give information professionals a sense of what is unique about the design of Web Pages on the WWW and an indication in general terms of what types of information and materials can be disseminated through this medium. It describes the very need for a Site, its unlimited scope, opportunities and implications and suggests several guidelines for Web site development that will enhance the potential for improved visibility of the library/information centre, its information resources, systems and the array of services, to be seen and utilised by outside world. Also discusses the method of creating an HTML document supplemented with advanced applications of DHTML, XML, VRML, scripting languages, style sheets etc., how the page could be published in the Net and further publicising the page.

Advances in information management and technology are necessary for improved communication and research in the health services. A large number of population is affected with viruses and viral diseases and most of these are not very virulent due to various reasons. Due to increasing demand of the variety of the users (national and international) it has become essential to have a clinical information system for viral diseases in India. The aspects covered include poor utilisation of available information and poor communication facilities. A national overview of the effect of important viral diseases in the population have been included. Details of methodology, objective advantages, relationship with other form of databases are also described. Finally, some suggestions have been given to use same tehnique for other<i> </i>biomedical disciplines.

A total of 4752 references were analysed for identifying their bibliographic form, authorship pattern and obsolescence. A rank list of highly cited journals by IMTECH scientists was prepared and further analysed by country of publication and subject dispersion. The findings reveal that nearly 85% citations were from journal literature, half of which had originated from the U.S.A. Journal literature was mostly contributed by collaborative efforts (87%). Highly cited fifteen journals accounted for half of the total journal citations. About 59% of the journal citations belonged to two subject fields, namely, biochemistry and microbiology. Half life of journal literature in biological sciences was found to be 11 years. Page(s): 121-130 2000-12-01T00:00:00Z
