Nothing is as invaluable as a website when it comes to airing your ideas, authoring opinion pieces, distributing photos, or marketing your business products. Having your very own website can be a boon to you, but there are a few things you should know first before setting out to create your own website (http://www.buildyoursite.com/).

Decide why you want to create your own website. Do you want to let others know of your political leanings, do you want to write fiction, or are you looking for an online store? Each of these will lead to a different kind of website, and each will have a different audience. (more...)

Direct marketing is no longer about trying to reach every potential customer through the shotgun approach. In fact, the methodologies employed today revolve around pinpointing the highest potential buyer, retaining existing customers, bringing back former customers, and creating campaigns that will drive prospective clients to contact companies. This has led to the models of advertising known as personalized and multichannel marketing.

Personalized marketing does just what it suggests; it personalizes the advertisement to the consumer's personality. This means either creating a dynamic message that can be customized to each individual or performing an extremely detailed market analysis and creating custom packages for each segment. Creating a personalized marketing campaign requires knowledge of each customer and the ability to them through methods such as email direct marketing campaigns. (more...)

Planning to build an intranet network for your organization? Here is a reality check for you to sink your teeth into. An intranet network, unlike an internet network, is limited to a private network like an institute or an organization. In other words, the extent of an intranet is way smaller than an internet network, and therefore pursues a different approach for its application.

Using the same protocols that are used for an internet network, such as HTTP, SMTP and FTP, an intranet network deploys almost all the internet technologies for the setup of a complete information system. For most parts, the primary purpose of an intranet network is the sharing of organizational information and operational tools among the employees. For this purpose, various intranet software are used to facilitate a uniform platform for the distribution of information and work consoles. (more...)

1.Introduction:

Problems are experienced when introducing computerised systems by libraries in countries remote from the major centres of development and expertise in the field of library computerisation. Main problems identified are those of lack of expertise of librarians and of hardware and software suppliers, a limited market for such systems in these ‘remote' countries and hence a limited range of appropriate hardware and particularly software available or marketed, a reliance on the products and support of major computer suppliers, and access to relatively limited resources leaving little scope for the adaptation of existing library software to suit local needs or for the development of new systems.

Solutions to these problems lie in cooperation and coordination of library computerisation so that maximum benefit can be derived from available resources and expertise, a conscious effort being made to become as self-reliant as available resources will allow, the use of library systems developed abroad with as little adaptation as possible being made to them, the careful evaluation of those systems available as well as of their suppliers, and possibly in future a greater use of dedicated mini- and microcomputer-based systems as such systems become more readily available. The problems and solutions discussed are illustrated by referring to the experience of library computerisation in khandesh rural colleges. (more...)

Demand for mobile and remote access to business networks has increased dramatically. Even the most basic virtual private network (VPN) technologies are so accessible and affordable that there is no good reason for failing to utilize them. That said, the real question for businesses is which type of VPN to implement: Standard IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) or secure-sockets layer (SSL)?

SSL is Best
Businesses that have limited budgets and/or those that do not share highly sensitive data may opt for a standard VPN because of cost; this technology is virtually free. In fact, most operating systems have built-in VPN protocols, but you typically get what you pay for here. Such protocols often rely on little more than usernames and passwords, they usually lack robust authentication and encryption components, and they can easily become open doorways into corporate networks. Furthermore, standard VPNs require the deployment of software and clients – an administrative headache at best. (more...)
