National Union Catalogue of Scientific Serials in India (NUCSSI) is the first indigenous database that serves as an ideal tool to access Journal holdings information. Journals are the main source of Science and Technology information. NUCSSI is a data repository of a large number of unique journal titles and library holdings belonging to major universities, S&T institutions, R&D units of industries, higher institutes like IISc, IITs and professional institutes spread allover the country.

MBO - Management by objectives (MBO), also known as management by planning (MBP), was first popularized by Peter Drucker in his 1954 book The Practice of Management.[1] Management by objectives is the process of defining specific objectives within an organization that management can convey to organization members, then deciding how to achieve each objective in sequence. This process allows managers to take work that needs to be done one step at a time to allow for a calm, yet productive work environment. In this system of management, individual goals are synchronized with the goals of the organization. An important part of MBO is the measurement and comparison of an employee's actual performance with the standards set. Ideally, when employees themselves have been involved with the goal-setting and choosing the course of action to be followed by them, they are more likely to fulfill their responsibilities.[2] According to George S. Odiorne[citation needed], the system of management by objectives can be described as a process whereby the superior and subordinate jointly identify common goals, define each individual's major areas of responsibility in terms of the results expected of him or her, and use these measures as guides for operating the unit and assessing the contribution of each of its members. MBO refers to the process of setting goals for the employees so that they know what they are supposed to do at the workplace. Management by Objectives defines roles and responsibilities for the employees and help them chalk out their future course of action in the organization.

MIS - Management Information System or 'MIS' is a planned system of collecting, storing, and disseminating data in the form of information needed to carry out the functions of management. Following are the basic objectives of an MIS − Capturing Data − Capturing contextual data, or operational information that will contribute in decision making from various internal and external sources of organization. Processing Data − The captured data is processed into information needed for planning, organizing, coordinating, directing and controlling functionalities at strategic, tactical and operational level. Processing data means − making calculations with the data sorting data classifying data and summarizing data Information Storage − Information or processed data need to be stored for future use. Information Retrieval − The system should be able to retrieve this information from the storage as and when required by various users. Information Propagation − Information or the finished product of the MIS should be circulated to its users periodically using the organizational network. Characteristics of MIS Following are the characteristics of an MIS − It should be based on a long-term planning. It should provide a holistic view of the dynamics and the structure of the organization. It should work as a complete and comprehensive system covering all interconnecting sub-systems within the organization. It should be planned in a top-down way, as the decision makers or the management should actively take part and provide clear direction at the development stage of the MIS. It should be based on need of strategic, operational and tactical information of managers of an organization. It should also take care of exceptional situations by reporting such situations. It should be able to make forecasts and estimates, and generate advanced information, thus providing a competitive advantage. Decision makers can take actions on the basis of such predictions. It should create linkage between all sub-systems within the organization, so that the decision makers can take the right decision based on an integrated view. It should allow easy flow of information through various sub-systems, thus avoiding redundancy and duplicity of data. It should simplify the operations with as much practicability as possible. Although the MIS is an integrated, complete system, it should be made in such a flexible way that it could be easily split into smaller sub-systems as and when required. A central database is the backbone of a well-built MIS.

MEDLINE and MEDLARS are both information retrieval systems that are widely used in the biomedical and health sciences. MEDLINE is a bibliographic database that contains over 26 million references to biomedical and health sciences journal articles, book chapters, and conference proceedings. The database is produced by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and is freely available to the public through the PubMed interface. The records in MEDLINE are indexed using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), a controlled vocabulary that helps to organize and retrieve information on a specific topic. *MEDLARS, on the other hand, is a computerized information system* that was developed by the NLM in the 1960s to manage and provide access to the biomedical literature. MEDLARS was one of the first computerized bibliographic databases and was used extensively by researchers and healthcare professionals for many years. Although MEDLARS is no longer in use, many of its features and technologies have been incorporated into modern bibliographic databases and information retrieval systems, including MEDLINE and PubMed.
