This book describes the impact of information technology
in library and information services. For the libraries,
ICT-s has tremendously changed the management of
resources as well as the way services are delivered.
While general IT application tools and integrated library
management systems are largely used in housekeeping
operations, like acquisition, cataloguing, circulation
control, serials control etc, internet has been used
extensively as a resource as well as a tool to deliver
the Library and Information Services (LIS). In the
specific context of LIS, one of the implications of use
of ICT is that Libraries can reach out globally to
provide their services 24-hours a day in very cost
effective manner. ICT has enabled users to avail many
services without any human intervention, the role of the
role of LIS professional is changing from an intermediary
to a facilitator and enabler.

Library Classification is a system of coding and
organizing library materials according to their subject
and allocating a call number to that information
resource. Similar to classification systems used in
biology, bibliographic classification systems group
entities that are similar together typically arranged in
a hierarchical tree structure. This book attempts to
provide a detailed story of the impacts of information
technology in library classification and also the latest
developments that have been made in this area.
Introducing the nature and purposes of library
classification, the book discusses in detail the canons,
principles and laws, which evaluate a scheme of
classification. The book is ideally suited to students
and researchers of library and information science and
library professionals alike.

4 Phillips, Stephen
Epistemology in classical India : the knowledge sources
of the Nyaya school / Stephen Phillips.-- New York:
Routledge, 2012.
x, 194p. 24cm.
ISBN : 9780415895545.
121.0954 PHI 134680
In this book, the author gives an overview of the
contribution of Nyaya--the classical Indian school that
defends an externalist position about knowledge as well
as an internality position about justification. Nyaya
literature extends almost two thousand years and
comprises hundreds of texts, and in this book, Phillips
presents a useful overview of the under-studied system of
thought. For the philosopher rather than the scholar of
Sanskrit, the book makes a whole range of Nyaya positions
and arguments accessible to students of epistemology who
are unfamiliar with classical Indian systems.

2011.
528p. 21cm.
ISBN : 9781591027270.
144.09 COO 134692
In this broad overview of the global humanist tradition,
the author shows that humanism has indeed produced a
wealth of insights. In the first of three main sections,
the author accounts for the renewed interest in the
humanist idea provoked by Hegel and others in the early
nineteenth century. The second section follows the
various strands humanism followed in the twentieth
century, including scientific humanism, pragmatism,
religious and Christian humanism, and the humanism of the
European thinkers. The third section traces the story of
humanism in India, China, the Near East, and Africa.
Cooke finishes the book with a survey of humanist thought
on the environment, tackling the thorny issue of humanism
and species ism. He then looks at the prospects for a
genuine planetary humanism, examining the thoughts of
John Rawls, Kwame Anthony Appiah, and Paul Kurtz, among
others.

The articles collected here are foundational
contributions to integrating behavioral research and risk
analysis. They include seminal articles on three
essential challenges. One is ensuring effective two-way
communication between technical experts and the lay
public, so that risk analyses address lay concerns and
provide useful information to people who need it. The
second is ensuring that analyses make realistic
assumptions about human behaviors that affect risk
levels. The third is ensuring that analyses recognize the
strengths and weaknesses of experts- understanding, using
experts- knowledge, while understanding its limits. The
articles include overviews of the science, essays on the
role of risk in society, and applications to domains as
diverse as environment, medicine, terrorism, human
rights, chemicals, pandemics, vaccination, HIV/AIDS,
sexual assault, energy, and climate change.

the original focus of their "most similar systems" design
and the West European and North American cases it
encompassed. It is intended both to use a wider range of
cases to interrogate and clarify the conceptual framework
of Comparing Media Systems and to proposed new middles,
concepts, and with processes of political transition. The
book covers, among other cases, Brazil, China, Isreal,
Lebanon, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and
Thailand.

The book deals social changes in Indian society.
Modernization is a composite concept. It is also an
ideological concept. The models of modernization co-vary
with the choice of ideologies. The composite nature of
this concept renders it pervasive in the vocabulary of
social sciences and evokes its kinship with concepts like
development, growth, evolution and progress. The book
analyses the varied and complex processes involved in the
modernization of India, the forces released by it and
their bearing on the stability, creativity and
development in India as a dynamic nation and composite
civilization. This book provides deep insight into
various dimensions of issues relating to the subject.

(Routledge contemporary South Asia series, 43).
ISBN : 9780415600828.

This book responds to the growing need for an inter-
disciplinary re-assessment of Tribal studies in
postcolonial India and defines a new agenda for Adivasi
studies. It considers the existing conceptual and
historical parameters of Tribal studies, as a means of
addressing new approaches to histories of de-colonization
and patterns of identity-formation that have become
visible since national independence. Contributors address
a number of important concerns, including the meaning of
Indigenous studies in the context of globalised academic
and political imaginaries, and the possibilities and
pitfalls of constructions of indigeneity as both a
foundational and a relational concept. A series of short
editorial essays provide theoretical clarity to issues of
representation, resistance, agency, recognition and
marginality.

ISBN : 9780415779241.

Presenting a framework that incorporates macro-level
forces into micro-level strategic calculations, this book
explains key political choices by leaders and challengers
in Pakistan through the political survival mechanism. It
offers an explanation for continuing polity weakness in
the country, and describes how political survival shapes
the choices made by the leaders and challengers. Using a
unique analysis that synthesizes theories of weak states,
quasi-states and political survival, the book extends
beyond rationalist accounts and the application of choice
theoretical approaches to developing countries. It
challenges the focus on ideology and suggests that
diverse, religiously and ethnically-defined affinity
groups have interests that are represented in particular
ways in weak state circumstances.

This handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of the
major themes that have defined the politics of Southeast
Asia. The introductory chapter provides an overview of
the theoretical and ideological themes that have
dominated the study of the region-s politics and presents
the different ways the complex politics of the region
have been understood. The handbook analyses how the
dominant political and social coalitions of the region
were forged in the Cold War era, and assesses the complex
processes of transition towards various forms of
democratic politics. How institutions and systems of
governance are being forged in an increasingly global
environment is discussed and whether civil society in
Southeast Asia has really evolved as an independent
sphere of social and political activity.

This book examines the upsurge in mass popular protest
against undemocratic regimes. Relating early revolutions
to recent global trends and protests, it examines the
significance of -people power- to democracy. The author
assesses the influence on people power of global politics
and trends, such as the growth of international
governmental organizations and international law, citizen
networks operating across borders, and emerging media
(like Twitter and Wikileaks). Drawing from contemporary
debates about democratization and literatures on power,
violence and nonviolence, from both academic sources and
media perspectives, this text builds an incisive
analytical argument about the changing nature of power
itself. The book is a must read for students and scholars
of democratic theory, international politics and current
affairs.

vii, 260p. 24cm.
ISBN : 9780748639434.
325.3 BIG 134686
This book complements and balances the attention given by
postcolonial theory to the revitalization and recognition
of the agency of colonized peoples. It offers new
conceptual scaffolding to those who have inherited the
legacy of colonial privilege, and who now seek to
responsibly transform this historical injustice. Simone
Bignall attends to a minor tradition within Western
philosophy including Spinoza, Nietzsche, Bergson and
Deleuze, to argue that a non-imperial concept of social
and political agency and a postcolonial philosophy of
material transformation are embedded within aspects of
poststructuralist social philosophy. Beginning with a
critical treatment of the dialectical notions that
dominate much postcolonial theory, Bignall then outlines
a constructive and transformative theory of practice by
drawing from Foucault and Deleuze.

(Routledge studies on history and globalization, 1).
ISBN : 9780415885119.
327.73047 PET 134681
The book explores the complexities of the role human
rights played in US-Soviet relations during the 1970s and
1980s. It will show how private citizens exploited the
larger effects of contemporary globalization and the
language of the Final Act to enlist the US government in
a global campaign against Soviet/Eastern European human
rights violations. A careful examination of this
development shows the limitations of existing literature
on the Reagan and Carter administrations- efforts to
promote internal reform in USSR. It also reveals how the
Carter administration and private citizens, not Western
European governments, played the most important role in
making the issue of human rights a fundamental aspect of
Cold War competition.

ISBN : 9788122431261.
330.015195 CAM 133916
Game theory, the formalized study of strategy, began in
the 1940s by asking how emotionless geniuses should play
games, but ignored until recently how average people with
emotions and limited foresight actually play games. This
book marks the first substantial and authoritative effort
to close this gap. Behavioral game theory has three
ingredients that come clearly into focus in this book:
mathematical theories of how moral obligation and
vengeance affect the way people bargain and trust each
other, a theory of how limits in the brain constrain the
number of steps of "I think he thinks..." reasoning
people naturally do, and a theory of how people learn
from experience to make better strategic decisions.

This book takes on the challenge of interpreting and
about macroeconomic. The macroeconomic development of
most major industrial economies is characterized by boom-
bust cycles. Normally such boom-bust cycles are driven by
specific sectors of the economy. In the financial
meltdown of the years 2007-2009 it was the credit sector
and the real-estate sector that were the main driving
forces. In doing so it revives the traditional Keynesian
approach to the financial-real economy interaction and
the business cycle, extending it in several important
ways. In particular, it adopts the Keynesian view of a
hierarchy of markets and introduces a detailed financial
sector into the traditional Keynesian framework. The
approach of the book goes beyond the currently dominant
paradigm based on the representative agent, market
clearing and rational economic agents.

The financial crisis of 2007-2010 has presented a number
of key policy challenges for those concerned with the
long term stability of the euro area. It has shown that
price stability as provided by the European Central Bank
is not enough to guarantee financial stability, and
exposed fault lines in governance and deficiencies in the
architecture of the financial supervisory and regulatory
framework. This book addresses these and other issues,
including why the crisis affected some countries more
than others, whether the euro is still attractive for new
EU states, and what policy changes and structural
reforms, both macro and micro, should be undertaken to
ensure its future viability. Written by a team of leading
academic and central bank economists, the book also
includes chapters on the cross-country incidence of the
crisis, the Irish crisis and ECB monetary policy during
the crisis.

Fixed ideas of money : small states and exchange rate

xix, 392p. 24cm.
ISBN : 9780521112710.
332.456094 STR 134657
This book analyzes for the first time the experience of
seven small states (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, the
Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland) during the
last hundred years, starting with the restoration of the
gold standard after World War I and ending with Sweden-s
rejection of the Euro in 2003. The comparative analysis
shows that for the most part of the twentieth century the
options of policy makers were seriously constrained by a
distinct fear of floating exchange rates. Only with the
crisis of the European Monetary System (EMS) in 1992-93
did the idea that a flexible exchange rate regime was
suited for a small open economy gain currency. The book
also analyses the differences among small states and
concludes that economic structures or foreign policy
orientations were far more important for the timing of
regime changes than domestic institutions and policies.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) today is seen as an
instrument to facilitate and support domestic investment
for achieving a higher level of economic development,
since it benefits both the domestic industry as well as
the consumer, by providing opportunities for
technological up gradation, access to global managerial
skills and practices, optimal utilization of human and
natural resources, making industry internationally
competitive, opening up export markets, providing
backward and forward linkages and access to international

strategies of the dynamic growth regions? What are the
risks and consequences of dynamic growth on patterns of
world growth and development, competitiveness,
inequalities, and convergence? What development
strategies should be promoted at national and
international levels to promote a growing and more
sustainable world economy? Using an innovative,
integrated framework of analysis, the contributions in
this book combine a wide array of complex theoretical and

economies have developed into veritable knowledge
economies at the same time as more and more economies
have entered the road to economic development. Typical
for the developments during this time has been
substantially increased investments in research and
development (RandD) to generate new knowledge and new
technologies and increased investments in diffusing
existing knowledge by means of education and thereby
raising the volume of human capital. However, many member

normative questions which the notion of European
constitutionalism raises, both in the EU-s internal and
its external relations. The idea of the EU as a
constitutional order has recently taken on renewed life,
as the Court of Justice declared the primacy of EU law
not just over national constitutions but also over the
international legal order, including the UN Charter. The
book culminates in an interactive epilogue in which the
authors- arguments are questioned and challenged by the
editor, providing a unique and stimulating approach to
the subject. By bringing together leading constitutional
theorists of the European Union, this book offers a

This groundbreaking collection on global leadership
features innovative and critical perspectives by scholars
from international relations, political economy,
medicine, law and philosophy, from North and South. The
book suggests that there is an overarching condition of
global organic crisis, which shapes the political and
organizational responses of the dominant global
leadership and of various subaltern forces. Contributors
argue that to meaningfully address the challenges of the
global crisis will require far more effective, inclusive
and legitimate forms of global leadership and global
governance than have characterized the neoliberal era.

The book is about the Indian Administrative Service and
its transformation during the fifty years of its
existence. IAS is a unique institution in the world the
like of which is not found anywhere else. Sardar Patel,
India-s first home minister conceived it as an elite all-
India service, selected on pure merit by an independent
authority, functioning at the federal centre as well as
the states. It was meant to be politically neutral,
representative of the entire nation and containing the
best talents in the country. It was to provide efficient
administration and was expected to be scrupulously
honest. Up to the Emergency, the Service fulfilled the
expectations of its creator. It extended uniform
standards of administration throughout the country. It
paved the way for the planned economic uplift. It brought
about self-sufficiency in food and industrial
development.

This book examines the emerging maritime security scene
in Southeast Asia. It considers highly topical
implications for the region of possible strategic
competition between China and India - the rising naval
powers of Asia - with a possible naval "arms race"
emerging between these countries both with naval force
development and operations. As part of its "Look East"
policy, India has deployed naval units to the Pacific
Ocean for port visits and exercises both with East Asian
navies and the US Navy, but India is also concerned about
the possibility of the Chinese Navy operating in the
Indian Ocean. This book identifies possible cooperative
and confidence-building measures that may contribute to
enhanced relations between these two major powers and
dampen down the risks associated with their strategic
competition.

This book contains the fundamental and basic information
on social science. Social structure is a term used in the
social sciences to refer to patterned social arrangements
which form the society as a whole, and which determine,
to some varying degree, the actions of the individuals
socialized in the structure. The meaning of -social
structure- differs between various fields of sociology.
On the macro scale, it can refer to the system of socio-
economic stratification (e.g., the class structure),
social institutions, or other patterned relations between
large social groups. On the micro scale, it can refer to
the structure of social network ties between individuals
or organizations. On the micro scale, it can refer to the
way norms shape the behavior of actors within the social
system.

The economics of excess : addiction, indulgence and

xiii, 189p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780804761482.

The book discusses both standard and behavioral economics
as they apply to addiction, indulgence, and social
policy. Chapter one provides a thorough discussion of
economic models of addiction. The model developed in most
detail takes into account both standard and behavioral
approaches. The next three chapters examine specific
indulgences: smoking, drinking, and overeating. The heart
of this book is its comprehensive discussion of what is
often referred to as the "new paternalism." As more and
more economists are arguing for policies that are
designed to protect people from themselves, this book
offers a serious, yet accessible, discussion of the pros
and cons of such interventions. Written in an
approachable style, this book will serve researchers who
are new to the economics of addiction and students in a
variety of economics and policy courses alike.

Climate change creates unprecedented problems of
intergenerational justice. Providing important new
insights within the theoretical framework of political
liberalism, the book presents arguments in three key
areas: Mitigation: the current generation ought to adopt
a strong precautionary principle in formulating climate
change policy in order to minimize the risks of serious
harm from climate change imposed on future generations.
Adaptation: the current generation ought to create a fund
to which members of future generations may apply for
compensation if the risks of climate change harm imposed
on them by the current generation ripen into harms.
Triage: future generations ought to keep alive hope for a
return to the framework of justice for the social
cooperation of future people less burdened by climate
change harms.

This book provides the common language, framework, tools
and processes needed to learn to embrace, manage and, in
some cases, synthesize contradictions in a family
business. The first step is to suspend judgment about
contradictions and recognize that we have been brought up
and educated to treat all problems the same, when not all
problems are the same. Not all can be solved, and the
remainder must be managed or coped with. In order to do
this, we have to develop the capacity within ourselves
and our organization to thrive on contradictions. To be
successful business leaders, we need to develop an
appreciation for ambiguity, and we need to fundamentally
shift how we think about and manage contradictions in the
workplace.

recognized organization designed to provide goods or
services, or both, to consumers, businesses and
governmental entities. A business is typically formed to

assets to be traded on securities exchanges such as stock
exchanges, including debt such as bonds as well as equity
in publicity traded corporations.

This book looks at the problems companies can face but
also shows how to resolve these issues and work towards a
positive outcome. Using case studies and practical tips
and tools, the authors explain how to reduce the risks
and develop loyalty and commitment within an
organization. In a difficult economic climate it is more
important than ever to manage bad behavior in the
workplace and minimize the damage negative and
destructive employees can have on an organization. If you
leave a rotten apple in a barrel of apples, the bacteria
destroying it will gradually spread throughout the whole
barrelful. In the same way, a person who causes
difficulties or is dishonest may influence others in the
community or organization he or she belongs to.

Beyond Management explains why the tools, rules,
competition, and compliance favored by management are
actually disorganizing and cause breakdowns at work. It
also shows you how to replace out-dated practices with
new ones that empower knowledge workers. The systems and
structures that we call -management- are obsolete. They
were developed for smokestack factories, during the
industrial era. Devised for producing goods efficiently,
management practices are geared to solving technical,
left brain problems: the kind that occurs when production
is highly mechanized, work is repetitive, and people
labor in isolation. In smoke-free offices, 21st Century
knowledge workers organize themselves. Creative and
agile, they network or team to tackle complex, right-
brain problems by interacting and sharing information:
talking, texting, asking questions as they make decisions
collectively.

The book makes clear links between what goes on in
society and what goes on in organizations. Why do women
still suffer from a lack of confidence and require
tailored leadership programmed when they have been
educated in the same way as men? Acknowledging and
understanding this wider context can help organizations
and their members move forward in their quest for more
inclusive cultures. This book explains why and sets out
what is needed to effect real change. The book is not
pessimistic, it is realistic. There has been a huge
increase in women in the workforce over the past forty
years. However for every advance there are new obstacles
to overcome. The current vogue for explaining away
women-s lack of power in organizations through
"differences" or -choice- fails women, and is a strong
example of the backlash that exists against the recent
inroads women have made in public life.

This book shows organizations how to understand and
improve their organizational networks, and explains how
different network models can be implemented that
encourage and promote flexibility within organizations.
If a company cannot adapt to changing environments in the
future, it will suffer and decline. The question is not
whether your company-s structure is suitable for the
needs of today, but whether it will still be suitable
tomorrow. Traditional company models are rigid and
designed for permanency, often making it difficult for
future growth and strategies to succeed. The key to
business success is flexibility, in structures,
relationships and communication. All companies are based
upon networks. These can be well connected or badly
connected, both internally in terms of people, processes,
workflows and strategies, and externally concerning the
market, customers and suppliers.

lives including: repercussions from the financial crisis,
geopolitical power shifts, emerging technological
challenges, climate change, water and food shortages,
educational problems, demographic changes, war and
terrorism, disrupted energy supplies, declining
ecosystems health concerns, and increasing natural
disasters. Such Big Picture challenges confronting
humanity are clearly interrelated, yet experts tend to
treat each of them in isolation. This book, on the other
hand, takes the novel approach of joining-the-dots to
bring them into a single actionable framework. With all
of these daunting issues, it would be easy to take a
negative outlook, yet this book is not about pessimism.
Nor is it about optimism.

The approach to project management is too often
formulaic, describing what should be done and how to do
it, but not adequately describing why those actions are
important. The book outlines what and how of project
management, emphasizing why actions matter, the overall
intention of the formulaic steps, and the strengths or
weakness of various tools and techniques. Successful
project teams must understand and focus intently on what
the author describes as the eight essential habits of
successful project teams: nurture a shared vision of what
is to be accomplished, translate that vision into a
coherent set of performance specifications, have an
integrated plan for accomplishing the purpose, measure
their performance against the plan and their progress
toward the requirements, allow for uncertainty, manage
change, continually act to influence their future and

of Murray and other people who made the changes. It does
not simply recount the story of a CEO who, by dint of
power, commanded a sea change in business. It instead
tells of researchers and designers and engineers and
factory bosses who made great things happen in back rooms
and on the factory floor. These people, across the ranks,
joined to advance a revolution. They reached new
insights, recast policies, changed behaviors, and
redesigned management. They also changed the people
around them-and they can change all of us.

Here the authors discuss the role women directors can
play in the reform of corporate governance systems
following recent financial, crises in leadership,
governance and the economy. The financial and economic
crisis and the public belief that failings in corporate
governance were partly to blame for it have politicized
the debate about how, and by whom, our companies should
be run. There is a new belief within the political
establishment that companies would be better run, and
less likely to act recklessly and so put the financial
system in jeopardy, if there were more women on their
Boards, and an expectation that companies will respond
appropriately when filling Board vacancies. In the
absence of an objective ex ante measure of the quality of
a company-s governance, the more gender-diverse board has
become an important symbol of the new, post-crisis
enlightenment.

The book reflects Material Management and ERP (Enterprise
Resource Planning). It is an enterprise-wide information
system designed to coordinate all the resources,
information and activities needed to complete business
processes such as order fulfillment or billing. An ERP
system supports most of the business system that
maintains in a single database the data needed for a
variety of business functions such as Manufacturing,
Supply Chain Management, Financials, Projects, Human
Resources and Customer Relationship Management. To be
considered an ERP system, a software package must provide
the function of at least two systems. For example, a
software package that provides both payroll and
accounting functions could technically be considered an
ERP software package. However, the term is typically
reserved for larger, more broadly based applications.

The book discusses retailing and the channel of
distribution of product. Retail consists of the sale of
goods or merchandise from a fixed location, such as
department store, boutique or kiosk, or by mail, in small
or individual lots for direct consumption by the
purchaser. Retailing may include subordinated services,
such as delivery. Purchasers may be individuals or
businesses. In commerce, a retailer buys goods or
products in large quantities form manufacturers or
importers, either directly or through a wholesaler, and
then sell smaller quantities to the end user. Retail
establishments are often called shops or stores.
Retailers are at the end of the supply chain.
Manufacturing marketers see the process of retailing as a
necessary part of their overall distribution strategy.
