9. ‘EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR KNOWLEDGE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT’ BY PAUL PANDIAN AND C.R. KARISIDDAPPA, CHANDOS PUBLISHING: OXFORD, 2008

Dr Paul Pandian and Dr. C.R. Karisiddappa’s book, which I commissioned and referred to in a previous Update, is now out.

The book “examines various factors that contribute to an enabled environment for
optimum utilisation of information resources”. The contents of the book are very varied, including areas such as: digital knowledge resources; emerging technologies for sharing electronic resources in a distributed environment; emerging technologies in authentication and unified portal models for sharing electronic information resources.
