learn and grow. A dejected soul is always dejected and slowly will ejected out of the system. We have been hearing of many Libraries being closed – even in US. People from other profession are taking over the Librarians’ role.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.0pt"><span style="color:black">You can place browsing classifiers such as “1000-1999”, “2000-2999” and so on as links on the home page itself, by editing it. If you allow your common sense to work well, you can do
wonders with Genisis. Winisis with Genisis is a wonderful programme. You can add text, image, audio, video etc into your collection, develop them into a digital library and get them displayed at ease. The advantage of it is that nothing will happen to the
original documents unlike as in Greenstone or some other applications which convert the documents into another format. If something wrong happens in between, there is a possibility of losing the original documents if you don’t keep them separately right from
the original set. Winisis with Genisis does not build the collection. It only takes the metadata and works as an interface to display the original documents. So my remark is that it is the easiest and the most useful prototype digital library far useful
than any other general digital library application, in a sense. But we did not use it properly. That does not mean that Greenstone, which I love so much, is bad. It is also another wonder which can be put to many potential uses. Every application has its
own disadvantages. One problem of Winisis-Genisis is that it is for the earlier versions of Windows. It does not work on 64 bit computer. There are lack of features like non-compliance with Unicode, user uploading not possible and such other things for Winiss-Genisis.</span><span style="color:black"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.0pt"><span style="color:black"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:15.0pt"><span style="color:black">It is my view that many librarians have not been using the potential of many of such applications effectively as reasonably possible. In many places, the institutional environment remains
bad. In some other cases, the librarians did not have the ability to use them. In some institutions, they were not exposed to the importance and possibilities by senior librarians and library schools. Seniors have no chance to learn as Juniors can because
of the obvious difficulties in going ahead with the technologies that are only a decade or more old. Now it seems to me that the librarians should keep up with the emerging trends and run fast. The technologies have become so simple. A few clicks are enough
to create so many applications. Greenstone is so easy to use unlike its earlier versions. Librarians should go a little ahead too. Content Management Systems like “Drupal” and Learning Management Systems like “Moodle” are what librarians should familiarize
with. Self learning of them is possible with good manuals. Many teachers and even computer professionals do not know how to use them. If librarians learn and use them, they can become significant partners in education – with the help of teachers, but not alone
- rather than remaining as mere distributors of books in physical form or digital.

<br>
I will try your suggestion in my database.<br>
<br>
Ofcourse, Librarians are very much greed in attaining their goal<br>
<br>
Now I am having one more idea by extending your suggestion.<br>
If I am having another extrafield with valaue of 1000-1999 in all the records of mfn from 1000 to 1999, I can use the search as "all" and "1000-1999" . So the user will browse from mfn 1000 to 1999.
<br>
<br>
By this logic one can attain from a particular mfn to particular mfn, according to their user study.<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>

Dear Shri Sugumaran,<br>
<br>
What I did for browsing the entire collection was that I put a word “all” <br>
as an indexing term. When the collection being searched with the word “all”, the <br>
entire documents will be displayed in the order of mfn. <br>
