INTRODUCTION OF PRINT MEDIA AND ELECTRONIC
MEDIA.
4.0 Introduction
Recording and storing information on Print Media and Electronic resource media
is an integral part of constitutes the study of the influence of Information
Communication Technology in Library and Information Science.
4.1 History of Recording Media
In the earlier writing material was used on the stone on which the ancient
Egyptian carved their characters with chisels. This led to the development of the most
widely used writing materials before the invention of paper.
 Early Efforts
The first writing material was stone, and the first pens were implements for
scratching, engraving and painting on the surface. The earliest known man-made
marks of this kind are still visible in the caves of Altamira and Lascaux and on the
rocks at Tassili. This evidence gives us a history of writing surface of some 8000
years. This was the first attempt by man, to discover newer avenues of expression
other than speech.
 Clay Tablets
When it became necessary to record the minor transaction in something more
portable than cave walls and lighter than stone blocks, the Sumerians of Mesopotamia
incised clay tablets and hardened them by baking. These tablets were indestructible
and could be seen even today in museums. The jabbing action of a stylus into the
damp clay produced a wedge-shaped impression with the result that the name
‘Cuneiform’ writing came to be applied to this particular form. The shapes and sizes
of the tablets varied considerably.
 Metals
After the clay tablets, for quite some time metals such as lead, copper, brass and
bronze were used to write upon, the letters being incised with some form of sharp,
painted instrument.

38 | P a g e
 However, the source of supply of metals was limited, writing on them was time-
consuming, but a permanent record could be made which could not be erased and
reused.
 Linen
Linen is also known to have been used by the Egyptians and later by Romans. This
was soon discarded as writing on linen was quite difficult and time consuming.
 Wooden Boards
The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, all in turn used wooden tablets on which
writing was done with a stylus but in the Grecian and Roman empires, the commonest
method of writing was with a stylus upon wax-covered wooden tablets. The latter
could be used continually, as it was easy to melt the wax, to provide the fresh writing
surface.
The most widely used writing materials before the invention of papers were
papyrus, parchments, and vellum.
 Papyrus
The writing material was manufactured from the stalks of the papyrus, a tall
flowering plant which in ancient times grew plentifully along the banks of the Nile. It
was prepared by cutting the stalks into two-foot lengths and splitting them downwards
into water-thin strips with a needle or sharp knife.
Papyrus was introduced as a writing material by the Egyptians in about the third
millennium B.C. and was regularly used by them until long after the introduction of
parchment.
Papyrus was made up in various forms, the earliest being the single leaf or sheet
prepared as described above. Books were made in long rolls assembled by pasting
several such sheets together. To this wooden stick was attached at each end to roll the
book for storage or transport. Though the writing was in columns, it proved tedious
to unroll the book every time it was necessary to refer to a particular column, and
eventually the length of papyrus was folded instead of being rolled. Well preserved
papyri are comparatively rare, as the material was brittle and apt to crumble with age.
 Parchment
Parchment is a writing material made from the inner side of the split skin of sheep.
It was probably used as early as the 1500 B.C. Despite its early introduction,
parchment did not completely supersede papyrus until the 5th to 6th Centuries. A.D.
39 | P a g e
Its sheets could not be joined into rolls as sheets of papyrus. Therefore, scribes and
librarians developed the practice of folding several sheets of parchment down the
middle and sewing them together through the fold. This practice established the form
the books have taken ever since.
 Vellum
The word parchment has been often used rather loosely to describe both parchment
and vellum. Vellum, through in some respects similar, is a finer material than
parchment. The skin used is that of the calf and it is not split. It is first washed,
cleaned by long exposure in lime and then stretched, paired with a knife, dusted with
chalk and rubbed smooth with pumice stone. It can be written or printed upon and
can be dyed or stained for book binding purpose. Uterine vellum, prepared from the
skin of an unborn calf, was used only for the most expensive manuscripts. Though
costly, vellum is still used by calligraphers and in the production of finely printed
editions.
The paper is an important and integral component of print media. In early days
information is available in non-printed media also. The last two decades of the
previous century saw some new media for recording information, in addition to print
media. They include microforms, audio, visual, audio visual, optical and digital
media. The non-print media is also called as non-book material, could be broadly
grouped as Microforms and Audio Visual materials.
4.2 Origin and Development of Print Media
Communication is the fundamental process without which, neither can humans,
lead a smooth life nor a society grow. It not only makes the existence of societies
possible but also, but its nature, distinguishes between the human and other species
(Schramm, 1973).
With the advent and advancement of communication technologies we are now in
an ‘Information Society ‘. Although various technologies have emerged and are
developing a much faster rate, print media as a significant medium of communication
skills remains a very popular mode of communication.
 Advent of Paper
Paper gets its name from papyrus and was invented in China in 1056 AD by Ts’ai
Lun, who served in the court of Emperor He Di Ts’ai Lun. Later, the Chinese found

40 | P a g e
the art of good paper- making fibres by pounding rags, hemp rope and old fishing nets
into a pulp.
The Chinese art of paper making spread to other parts of the world after
several Chinese paper makers were captured by Arabs in what is now Soviet
Turkistan. The Arabs urged the paper-makers to continue their art and teach it to the
Moors in the city of Samarkand. The paper industry was established in Baghdad in
795 AD. Paper-making spread to Europe as its manufacture was first recorded at
Jativa in Spain in 1150 AD. It was introduced in England by John Tate in Hertford.
The first paper mill is America was established in Philadelphians in 1690.
The paper is traditionally used for handwritten and print media. Paper as a
medium for information storage is used a wide range of other documents – charts,
wall charts, poster, flipcharts, hangouts, atlases and folders apart from the
conventional document like the books.
Print media is one of the first to be associated with mass communication and has
played a significant role in the process of democratization of education an spread of
knowledge. The book is the common form of Print Media. It may contain words that
are meant to be preserved for the future as well as for the present. Newspapers and
magazines constitute other forms of Print Media.
 Paper Size and Paper Finishes
Paper has varieties of qualities and dimensions. For printing of books,
newspapers, magazines etc. There are different types of printing which need different
sizes and qualities of paper. There are different types of print which need different
sizes and qualities of paper. There are two basic categories of paper sizes.
The British Standard sizes are Foolscap, Post, Crown, Demy, Medium, Royal
and Imperial.
The international size is A- series, B-Series and C- Series. The paper qualities
on the type of finish are Machine finish, Super calendared, Imitation Art Paper, Art
Page, Antique paper, Featherweight Antique, Twin Wire Paper, Cartridge paper,
Offset Cartridge and Mould-made Paper and so on.
 Paper and Printing: The Proliferation of Print Media
Print media, composed of several media, no doubt is more popular and common
than any other media in practice. The Print medium is very powerful medium and is
likely to remain as the core-medium of communication in the days to come in spite of

41 | P a g e
the emergence of new technology in printing and information communication. Books
as a print-media has effectively used for control and content and found to be very
effective in handling historical information.
Categories of papers in Print Media
 Brief Text Media includes Sheets, Folders, Leaflet, and Hand-outs.
 Paper based Visual Media includes Displays, Mobiles, Charts, Flip Charts and
Posters.
 Continuous Paper Media includes Books, Journals, Magazines and News Papers
etc.
 Machine Readable Lengthy Text includes Punched Tape and Punched Card.
4.3 Print Media
Printed words are messages prepared for the specific audience, Printed media
includes Books, Learned Periodicals, Conference Proceedings, Magazines, and
Newspapers etc. The function of these media is to provide information, and in certain
cases provide entertainment as well. The audience for these media could be
specialized one in certain cases, or it could be large and diverse as in the case of
newspapers and magazines etc.
Newspaper has a special role in delivering information or news to the citizen.
Newspapers are read by the general public. Published on a regular basis usually daily
or weekly, they also interpret events behind the news, such as social trends, political
developments etc. Apart from this, newspapers also provide useful information such
as stock market prices, weather reports etc. They are also a popular source of reading
for entertainment. Newspapers are the cheapest and most efficient mass
communication media.
Books share with other print media the functions of informing, persuading and
entertaining. They differ from the other print media in that they are bound and are
made to last.
Since books take a year or more to produce, the information provided in them is
not recent or up-to date. However, it explores a topic or idea in depth. Books have a
smaller audience than magazines and newspapers, most books usually sell only a few
thousand copies. Fiction, Reference books, Textbooks, Research Monographs are
some example of different types of books.

42 | P a g e
 Magazines like Newspaper, are a popular kind of reading matter which are issued
on regular basis – weekly, fortnightly, monthly etc. Unlike most newspapers,
magazines are usually printed on glossy paper with lots of colour photographs,
drawing, and other illustrations. A magazine is published less frequently than a
newspaper. It is also manufactured in a different format.
Periodicals are specialized journals not meant for mass circulation as is the case
with magazines. They deal with specialized subjects and are the primary sources of
information usually devoted to reporting or original research. Periodical articles are
the main means of communication the exchange of information in different areas of
knowledge. Periodicals are therefore, meant for specialised groups of person and
server education and research purposes.
There are also different types of print media likes Indexing and Abstracting
periodicals, Directories, Conference Proceeding etc. These print media do not
communicate information directly but they provide information about where to find
information from primary sources like books and periodicals etc.
Advantages of Print Media
 Books, Magazines etc. are portable. It can be carried along and can be used
anytime and anywhere.
 The print material is easy to use. They can read full or part at their own time.
 The cost of print media is less compare to the other media.
 Printed material is easy to access at any place at any time with the physical copy.
Disadvantage of Print Media
 The users have knowledge about the language of the printed materials otherwise it
is not useful for them. Like language problems.
 Readers are also aware of the knowledge of printed messages and images.
 The printed materials give the theoretical knowledge about the particular subject
but it can’t give the practical experience.
 The printed materials will be published liked textbooks etc. after that no one can
be changed the text materials.
4.4 Electronic Media
Electronic media is considered as the storage, distribution and transmission of
information. The term electronic media includes magnetic, optical and magneto
optical media. The media that is normally used media that are an integral part of
43 | P a g e
 the Central Processing Unit of a computer systems. e.g. Core Memories, Random
Access Memories , Read Only Memories , Bubble Memories.
The important characterises of the information scene today is that large amounts
of text, images, and numeric data are now created and distributed in electronic
form. Sometimes the electronic form is produced in parallel with a conventional
print on paper version, sometimes it is an intermediate stage in the production of
print, and sometimes it is the only form in which the information exists.
Information in electronic form is of great interest, as it is machine readable, and is
searchable by computer software. Editing, sorting, updating data in electronic
form can be done fast. Beside these, information in electronic form can be
transmitted quickly and reliably to the remote location.
Categories of Electronic Resources.
The electronic resources can also be categorized into three categories namely
primary, secondary and tertiary electronic resources. They can be summarized as per
below.
1 Primary Electronic Resources.
Primary electronic resources are those in which newly generated information is
recorded and disseminated. One of the best examples of primary e-resources is the
various types of e-journals available on the net. Because e-journals contain the results
of researches going on in various subject fields they are considered as newly
generated information. One more example of primary e-resources can be e-reports,
which contain information on research and development, which are more useful for R
& D institutions.
The main examples of primary Electronic resources are as below.
 Letters
 Diaries
 E-mails
 Websites
 Survey Research
 Annual Reports and Government Reports
 Processing of Meetings and Conferences.
 Photographs
 Journals Articles , News Papers
44 | P a g e
2 Secondary Electronic Resources.
Secondary electronic resources are those, which facilitate access to information
contents of primary e-resources. Uncover, BUBL (Bulletin Board for UK libraries)
information services, etc. Are some of the bibliographic services on the net.
Generally, secondary e-resources are various types of bibliographic database, full-text
databases and electronic abstracts and indexes. Many encyclopaedias and dictionaries
are also available online, which are also one type of secondary e-resources.
The main examples of Secondary Resources are as below.
 Textbooks
 Newspapers and Magazines articles
 Bibliographies and Biographical works
 Dictionaries, Encyclopaedias
 Monographs and fictions
3 Tertiary Electronic Resources
Tertiary e-resources are those, which facilities access to the secondary e-
resources. If we want to know that how many bibliographies have been made on a
particular topic we should have a list of all the bibliographies on that topic, which is
known as ‘Bibliography of Bibliographies.’ This is one type of tertiary e-resources.
Subject guides are also one type of tertiary e-resources. Last but no the least,
directories also come under tertiary e-resources. A directory is a list of people,
companies, institutions, and organizations in alphabetical or classified order,
providing contact information and other pertinent details in brief formation.
The Tertiary source examples are given as below.
 Guide books
 Almanacs
 Directories
 Manuals
 Fact books
Criteria for Evaluating Electronic Resources.
The internet is the storehouse of information. The immense number of sources are
available on the internet. When a search is executed using the search engine it brings
out a bulk of different sources. But as in the case of most printed sources such as
magazines, books etc. Which go through the filtering system (editing, peer review)
45 | P a g e
most information on the internet is unfiltered. So, there arises a need to evaluate the
sources before they are used.
 Content Consideration
 Access Consideration
 Technical support considerations
 Cost Considerations
 Legal Considerations
 Selections Tools
 Management of Electronic Resources in Libraries.
Management is the most important thing, which each and every institution has to
implement for the smooth running of the organization. The library is also one of the
institutions and so management is very important in it. Library has to manage its each
and every resource. Electronic resources also come under one of the resources of the
library and its management is one of the important issues.
In the process of electronic resources basically, three factors come under
consideration, which is explained below.
Selection of Electronic Resources by forming a Collection Development Policy
Today, if the libraries have to cater to the needs of the users, efficiently and
effectively, the librarians have to procure electronic, digital materials into current
practices and procedures. The leads to the selection criteria for acquiring the
electronic resource. While going for electronic resources, one should not just
consider the quality and the content of resources.
Unique concerns are addressed the electronic collection development policy, which
relates to the electronic resources available on the internet.
The following factors to be considered in the selections.
a) Justification of the price of electronic resources, in order to be approved for
purchase, as it may be greater than its print counterpart. There is a possibility of
the requirement of additional hardware/software for internet-based electronic
resources.
b) Other comparable resources in another format should be cancelled, when they
cannot provide the same capabilities as internet resources.
c) Electronic resources should be appropriate for the type of users, it is intended to
serve, user friendly, preferred by users and potential usage by remote patrons.
46 | P a g e
d) The resources, which are to be selected, should be stable. Issues related to the
vendor’s stability. They should be reliable, should have a reputed business
record, should be committed to his work and should be committed to his work
and should provide 24 X 7 access.
e) The internet resources, which are to be selected, should be made available with
their duplicate copies if networking or other alternatives are not possible and also
when the library chooses to provide a product on a service in more than one
format.
f) A major consideration for the electronic resources licensing. As licensing gives
right to access, copyright issues, access to information from previous releases.
Acquiring Of Electronic Resources.
CD-ROMs, Online databases, and software on diskettes are being used for
cataloguing electronic resources in libraries. Before acquiring these resources to the
collection some decisions have to be taken regarding the support of hardware and
software requirement, usability of infrastructure available, networking capabilities,
providing remote access through IP authentication or by login and password, licensing
terms and restrictions, number of simultaneous users or unlimited usage and level of
access permitted to the users for these resources.
The process of acquiring electronic resources is totally different and more complex
from the traditional method of the library for purchasing books and serials in print
format. The acquisitions procedure in electronic media involves ‘interaction with IT
tool, issues of legal affairs like copyright and fair use of resources while sharing,
forming to get access to more resources at minimum costs and should have follow-up
with publishers to solve technical problems in having access to resources like
updating the links which do not work or which have been changed in due course of
time.
Processing of Electronic Resources
Proper cataloguing and documentation of electronic resources should be done to
ensure complete access and ability to track these items for proper maintenance, as
these resources are selected and added into the library collection. Subject experts and
users have the responsibility for recommending titles in electronic format. Another
most important factor is that the library personnel has to gather some electronic
resources in anticipation by foreseeing the user needs. After the acquisition of the

47 | P a g e
resources either by subscription or by downloading they are to be classified according
to their subject content and indexing techniques have to be adopted for easy retrieval.
Some electronic resources are delicate to handle such as floppies, CDs and DVDs. A
duplicate CD should be used for taking a backup for regular use, so that in case of loss
or damage the original can be utilized.
4.5 Difference between Print Resource Media versus Electronic Resource Media
1) Print Resource Media is available on library working hours only.
Electronic Resource Media is available on 24*7 access.
2) In Print Media searching of keyword is not available in to the text.
Electronic Resource Media searching can be different options are available.
3) In Print Media one users can access any material by himself. Other users have to
wait for the returning of the same documents.
Electronic Resource Media many users can use same material at same time.
4) In Print Media users can access the materials from the library itself.
Electronic Resource Media users can access the materials from remote access
also.
5) In Print Media reproduction is only photocopying method by zerox machine.
Electronic Resource Media reproduction is directly taking print out from the
source.
6) In Print Media the Editing and Deleting etc. is not possible.
Electronic Resource Media Editing, Deleting, Marking, sizes, viewing options are
available in this.
7) In Print Media the Articles may be in the form of hardcopy by taking the zerox
copy.
Electronic Resource Media particular Article may be download.
8) New arrival / published Print Journals are not available on the same day. It will
take the Transportation time.
New arrival / published Electronic Journals are available on the same day when it
published.
9) For accessing print Media no need to use the any equipment’s.
For accessing Electronic Resource Media special equipment will be required
like the computer with internet connections.

48 | P a g e
10) In Print Media for retrieval consume more time at the library and some time
we have to depend upon the library staff and library opening hours.
Electronic Resource Media for retrieval is very easy and fast including the
back volumes of the journals.
