BACKGROUND
Libraries and Information Systems are undergoing a major metamorphosis
consequent to the developments in ICT, stretching across the entire
life cycle of information handling processes of generation –
transmission – consumption - regeneration/recycling. The domain of
Knowledge System plays a very significant role inthe development
process than ever before. The sources, systems, services and use
patterns are changing rapidly.

The scenario of Content Management (CM), the nucleus of Knowledge
Management, is opening up new challenges and opportunities for
Libraries & Information Systems. Changing patterns of the conventional
and a host of new generation Content Development Systems and their
deliverables have opened up new vistas in CM. LIS professionals are
confronted with the new systems and technologies for content
organization, content repacking, customized content systems and
delivery services. It is equipping them to provide better and more
effective enabling information systems and services.

There is limitless scope for appropriate CM strategies under the aegis
of Knowledge Management as applicable to Enterprise sector, Resource
Re-routing, Development Systems, Academic sector, Social sector for
Literacy and Empowerment, Research and Innovation sector, etc. The
growing popularity of Elearning throws up seamless avenues for LIS
professionals for constructive participation in the field.

The area is perhaps the most challenging segment of the emerging
trends in LIS. Learning skills and knowledge development among LIS
professionals on CM is therefore assuming more significance. The
philosophy of partnership among the allied disciplines, especially LIS
& ICT, needs to be reviewed in this perspective in the backdrop of
global publishers and their products and more importantly, the
end-user community.

OBJECTIVES

systematic mapping and review, so as to optimize choice of more
productive options. Within this framework, the major objectives of the

transfer processes in libraries with a view to ensure better
