Academic publishing in India has the potential to significantly impact the nation's progress and global standing. This paper explores the futuristic possibilities and challenges of the Indian academic publishing industry. As technological advancements continue to shape the world, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and automation in publishing promises to revolutionize content development, distribution, and customer insights. However, the focus on quantity over quality and the proliferation of predatory journals remain pressing issues. To secure a prominent position in the global academic arena, Indian academia must prioritize quality research, adopt AI-driven publishing processes, and strengthen collaborations with international publishers and databases.

With library automation already done in all libraries in mount Kenya university, installed library management system, provision of e-book reader (kindles) and user and library staff training all provide ample platform for use of library materials via mobile phone devices. Since the introduction of Kindles and use of MPT to access and utilize library services in MKU libraries, no study has been done to determine the effectiveness of this technology. Therefore, this study and its recommendation come handy in order to improve library service delivery using MPT. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the use of mobile phone technology in accessing library information materials at Mount Kenya University. The target population was 39452 where a sample of 395 was selected. In this study, questionnaires were used to collect data. Four campuses were purposively sampled due to their established library automation and library management system providing the platform that can support library access via Mobile Phone Technology. Data collected through questionnaires was cleaned, edited, coded before it was entered into the statistical software for analysis. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for analyzing the collected data. Based on research findings, it could be right to say that despite challenges of power outages, internet instability and other factors identified above, mobile phone devices have required features to support access to reference services, checking in/out, indexing and abstracting, conducting current awareness to users, doing selective dissemination of information, executing interlibrary loaning and providing special services to special people.

The high costs of printed Textbooks have negatively affected the education and library services in many developing countries, forcing institutions and universities to utilise electronic information resources (EIRs) to offer library information services and resources to library users. Many universities in northern Uganda adopted EIRs without evaluating them. This study, therefore, seeks to assess the drivers and barriers to EIR usage in academic libraries in Uganda by analysing their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT). The study employed a descriptive design to collect quantitative data and a stratified random sampling technique to select the sample size. A structured questionnaire was designed using Google Forms and administered online to the Muni and Lira universities’ teaching staff and final-year students, where 103 were filled by teaching staff and 248 by final-year students. The data collected were analysed using the SPSS Version 28 and RStudio software. Statistical techniques like descriptive analysis were used in the data analysis. The results for the mean ≥ 3.41 were considered statistically significant. The study findings show that most respondents agreed that librarians expose them to all the library EIRs and that it was essential to access EIRs to benefit from its services. The study also identified knowledge and skills, the relevance of EIRs, availability of technological infrastructure and resources, awareness and adaptation, perceived ease of use and access, previous experience, institutional policies, and perceived quality content as the critical drivers for the usage of EIRs in academic libraries. The results of the SWOT analysis identified internal factors (i.e., strengths and weaknesses) and external factors (i.e., opportunities and threats) affecting EIR usage in Ugandan academic libraries. The survey recommends that for the successful adoption and implementation of EIRs in Ugandan libraries, there should be a reliable power supply and internet connectivity for easy access to the EIRs, purchase of more computing devices for accessing the EIRs, training and supporting the users of EIRs in universities; proper accountability and use of donor funds meant for payments of EIRs; and so on. These findings generated ideas that the universities, libraries, and library consortia can use in decision-making regarding choices of EIRs selection and the procurement of EIRs to realise value for money.

This article delves into the rich tapestry of school librarianship in India, spanning from its ancient origins to its contemporary state. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining historical analysis, cultural insights, and educational perspectives to unravel the nuanced development of school libraries and the roles of librarians within them.Beginning with the ancient Indian tradition of Gurukuls, where oral transmission of knowledge was paramount, one can trace the evolution of early libraries and the revered "Guru-Pustakalaya" (teacher's library) as the precursor to formal school libraries. The medieval era witnessed the advent of Persian and Arabic manuscripts, leading to the establishment of Madrasas and Maktab libraries, which contributed to the dissemination of diverse knowledge. The colonial period introduced Western educational ideals and the establishment of missionary schools, thereby reshaping the landscape of school librarianship with the introduction of modern library systems and practices.In the post-independence era, the Indian government took significant steps to promote literacy and education, resulting in the proliferation of school libraries across the nation. The article explores the transformative impact of technology, the digital age, and the changing role of school librarians as facilitators of information literacy and digital resources. This comprehensive historical analysis sheds light on the continuum of school librarianship in India, emphasizing its pivotal role in education and knowledge dissemination throughout the ages. Understanding this evolution is essential for shaping the future of school libraries and librarianship in India, adapting to the changing educational landscape and information needs of the 21st century.
本文深入探讨了印度学校图书馆学的丰富内涵，从其古老的起源跨越到当代的状态。研究采用多学科方法，结合历史分析、文化洞察力和教育视角，揭示了学校图书馆的微妙发展以及图书馆员在其中的作用。从古印度的古鲁库尔（Gurukuls）传统开始，口耳相传的知识是最重要的，我们可以追溯到早期图书馆的演变，以及作为正规学校图书馆前身的受人尊敬的 "Guru-Pustakalaya"（教师图书馆）。中世纪出现了波斯语和阿拉伯语手稿，从而建立了 Madrasas 和 Maktab 图书馆，促进了各种知识的传播。殖民地时期引入了西方教育理念并建立了传教士学校，从而通过引入现代图书馆系统和实践重塑了学校图书馆学的面貌。在独立后的时代，印度政府采取了重大措施来促进扫盲和教育，导致学校图书馆在全国范围内激增。文章探讨了技术和数字时代的变革性影响，以及学校图书馆员作为信息扫盲和数字资源促进者的不断变化的角色。这一全面的历史分析揭示了印度学校图书馆员制度的连续性，强调了其在教育和知识传播中的关键作用。了解这一演变对于塑造印度学校图书馆和图书馆学的未来、适应 21 世纪不断变化的教育环境和信息需求至关重要。

Libraries have a history dating back centuries, serving as guardians of knowledge and fostering intellectual growth. Libraries have long been a cornerstone of human civilization, serving as repositories of knowledge, cultural hubs, and learning centers. However, in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), some have questioned the relevance of libraries. This article explores the timeless relevance of libraries in an era marked by rapid technological advancements. The article uses a qualitative method and draws on a review of academic articles, studies, and case studies about libraries, artificial intelligence (AI), and digitalization. The analysis focuses on the historical importance of libraries, the challenges they confront in the age of AI, and prospective approaches to incorporating AI into library services. Libraries play a vital role in fostering these skills, offering a range of resources and educational programs to help individuals navigate the digital landscape effectively. Librarians, with their expertise, guide users in assessing the credibility of online sources, understanding data privacy, and developing information literacy skills. By promoting digital literacy, libraries empower individuals to make informed decisions in the age of AI, mitigating the risks associated with misinformation and algorithmic biases. Libraries remain relevant and essential in our society.
