Design and Development of a Virtual Library for Social Science and Management

Abstract

In this information age, it is a worthwhile task to update oneself with not only conventional sources of knowledge but also with the web resources. There is abundant information available on the web but it remains a question as how to make the best use of them. This paper presents the outcome of a project that sought to organise the links of the freely available resources like directories, e-books, e-journals and so on in the field of social science and management and provide a single-point access to such resources. This paper describes the methodology adopted to design and develop the virtual library for social science and management. This could serve as a pointer for aspiring content developers in the field and will also enable library science professionals undertaking similar initiatives to compare notes.
