Annexure

In today’s day and age, Library management software is becoming not only a tool to manage titles and authors but also the content. At the simplest level, this is somewhat akin to the World Wide Web where one can search for items and look at the content immediately just by clicking on the result. An example of this can be seen in www.smiletrain.org where a person can look for information based on key words and then look at the content by just clicking on the results. More and more libraries are turning to this method of working.

Additionally, libraries are expected "to ensure" that the users can actually learn and not just racks of stuff, which is made available. I guess they are no longer "Not Accountable" for what they are purveyors of: Knowledge and its assimilation in the human brain.

Content creation requires special skills and understanding of how content has to be displayed and controlled based on the preparedness of the user and not how one presenter decides to present it. With America leading and the rest of the world following, SCORM is rapidly becoming the ONLY method for content creation and for enabling learning management. This is also the standard method adopted by the US military in training their personnel from Junior most to the most senior levels.

Mindmill specializes in SCORM content creation. This is a complex process, which ensures that the content can be presented based on the preparedness of the user and the user can be monitored as well as examined for the information assimilation. As you move into the next decade, you will be expected to present to the students different lessons as well as have the ability to test them at the same time. This will then become a true knowledge repository.

Make sure your library system provider is a SCORM specialist or you will be left out biting the dust.
