The importance of newspapers for people of all walks of life, institutions, government and countries in general, need not be overemphasized. It is truly a reflection and narrative of a society, status and its culture. Researchers too turn to newspapers for casual as well as quality research. It is interesting to note the continued relevance of the newspapers in the traditional paper format even when the publishing and transmission of news as well as newspapers across the world have migrated to newer paradigms and platforms such as the Web, Blogs, PDAs, Mobiles, eReaders etc. At the same time, newspaper management in libraries pose plethora of problems to librarians. Requirement of vast space, large size racks, extraordinary weight of bound volumes coupled with the damage that the paper undergoes over time are just a few to mention them. Recent developments in technology, especially the digital technologies, have a lot to offer in efficiently combating the above problems. The current information environment prompts libraries to leverage on the latest digital technologies towards building newspaper digital libraries and in setting up dynamic newspaper access and retrieval systems. These newer breeds of information services offer lots of power and visibility to newspapers, especially the old collections. This paper highlights the power of Greenstone software in developing newspaper digital libraries. It also reports the success stories of two large scale newspaper digital libraries - the Papers Past newspaper digital library, a collection of 19th and 20th century newspapers from the National Library of New Zealand and the Singapore National Library. The experience of the Center for Development of Digital Libraries (CDDL) of IIM Kozhikode in setting up a digital library of newsclippings, the digital equivalent of the traditional press clipping service, using Greenstone software is also shared.

In a strongly worded statement, librarians around the world have called for an end to the "excessive pricing" of electronic publications and for a halt in "attacks" on libraries' rights to redistribute documents. More than 40 library consortia signed the statement, in which the librarians also insisted on the need for permanent access to electronically archived information. VIJAYAKUMAR, JK and SREEKUMAR, MG.

Libraries and Information Centers (LICs) or the Learning Resource Centers (LRCs) set up by educational and research organizations around the world, especially those in the emerging economies, are facing a plethora of challenges in times of the kind of revolutions that are taking place in the domains such as digital, mobile, cloud, social media, machine learning and Artificial Intelligence, big data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) etc. There is of course no denial of the fact there are a host of opportunities too, awaiting these centers to leverage on, from the new technology trends. The biggest challenge the LICs face today is not only to dispel the stakeholder prejudices, but also to remain meaningful, efficient and relevant before the stakeholders. It is so because a large majority believe that their information and knowledge needs are well addressed by the new-gen services like open access scholarly resources/services/networks, google, facebook, twitter and so on. A close analysis of the impacts of technology and also the markets reveal that there are basically two new trends sweeping the world - more to do with respect to the consumer behavior - the ‘disruptive technologies’ and the ‘disintermediation effects’ as its aftermath...
