The last two decades have seen the revival of interest in cataloguing. Changes have taken place so fast that it is becoming difficult to keep pace with new developments which include from principles of cataloguing to metadata and cataloguing of electronic resources. Despite the fact that a number of textbooks on cataloguing have appeared during recent years, there is justification for bringing out another book on cataloguing. The present book makes a special attempt to include both theory of cataloguing and practice in simple language. An attempt has been made to make this book readable. Description of topics is simple. Suitable examples have been provided to facilitate understanding of the subject. As far as feasible, the presentation follows the order of development of subject.                This book is primarily intended to meet the requirements of students studying for Certificate course, Bachelor and Master in Library and Information Science at Indian Universities.

“Agriculture is a profession of hope”, someone said. Man has landed on moon and has sent unmanned spacecrafts to Mars and Venus and transforming lives by fascinating technological innovations, yet he cannot shower rains at will, cannot prevent droughts or floods or even predict them with certainty. Risk and uncertainty are considered ubiquitous and varied in agriculture resulting from a range of factors including the vagaries of weather, the unpredictable nature of biological processes, the pronounced seasonality of production and market cycles etc.Weather forecasts are probabilities and projections based on improved technologies but not reachable to many small and marginal farmers. But still vast majority of the people in the country continue in farming with a hope that they would get better production and better prices. Agriculture continues to play a major role, in spite of declining share in India’s overall economy. Even today, as we entered the new millennium, the situation is still the same, with almost the entire economy being sustained by agriculture, which is the mainstay of the villages. Although agriculture contributes less than 15% of India’s GDP, its importance in the country’s’ economic, social and political fabric goes well beyond this indicator. The rural areas are still home to 75 percent of the India’s 1.2 billion people, a large number of whom are poor. Most of the rural poor depend on rain-fed agriculture and fragile forests for their livelihoods. Agricultural risk is associated with negative outcomes that stem from imperfectly predictable climatic and price variables. Weather and climate are major risks and uncertainty factors impacting agriculture production. Market risk is due accessibility of inputs, uncertainty of prices in buying inputs, selling farm output, dairy and livestock products etc.Risk management is very critical to the success of agriculture, and yet there is a lack of tools used to manage risk as well as a lack of understanding of the tools themselves. Though, risk is an integral part of agriculture and farmers make risky decisions every day and confront different types of risk, changes in the risk environment and available tools to manage the risk make it a compelling reason to engage in risk management education.This volume is outcome of selected papers presented at the National Seminar on “Agricultural Risk Management” organized during 3-4 January 2014 by Centre for Good Governance (CGG) in association with National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRD&PR)The purpose of this comprehensive edited book of selected articles is to contribute to improved agricultural decision making by explaining what can be done in risk analysis and management. It should prove useful not only to practitioners and scientists involved in agriculture, water and land use, environmental management but also to policy makers in formulating appropriate strategies in agricultural risk management in India and elsewhere. Further, we hope that this volume will contribute to productive policy change to formulate sustainable risk mitigation strategies in agriculture leading to increased farm income

This well-organized and thoroughly revised text independent of programming language provides the design techniques of algorithms in a simple and straightforward manner. It describes the complete design, development and analysis of various algorithms along with their pseudo-codes in order to have an understanding of their applications.The book begins with a description of the fundamental concepts and basic design techniques of algorithms. Gradually, it introduces more complex and advanced topics such as dynamic programming, backtracking, branch & bound and Non-deterministic algorithmsSalient Features: Gives a thorough analysis of the fundamental and advanced concepts of algorithms. Provides many solved examples to enhance students ability to grasp the concepts discussed. Supplies well-graded exercises to test students understanding of the subject.

Control systems are an essential part of contemporary society. It play a vital role in our day-to-day life and find applications in different sectors like Energy sector, manufacturing process, industries, satellites, missiles, navigation, robotics, and biomedical engineering etc. The study of control is not only concerned with engineering applications but it extends in other areas such as business, economics, political systems etc. So it is necessary to cope up with the practical knowledge on control systems to serve the society. The better Comprehensive Lab Manual fulfils the needs of the education community. This book is intended to serve as a Comprehensive Lab Manual based on the course of control systems for undergraduate students of engineering. This manual provides basic approach for the development of practical concepts and insight into the subject matter and also written in a student - friendly manner. The book dealt in simplified sequential manner of fundamental with practical developement in MATLAB in the area of control systems. Theoretical explanations supported by graded solved examples which have been framed to help the young engineering students in grasping the practical knowledge and its applicability with the coverage of various topics.The book needs the requirement of undergraduate students of engineering in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Communication and Biomedical Engineering and also useful for post graduate students in the area of Control system Engineering.Significant Features Written in a very simple language Includes worked out examples to help the students to master in the concepts involved. Step by Step procedures are given for solving the problems. Most simplified methods used and it is ideally suited for self-study. Viva-voce questions are given at the end of the chapter and problems to assist students in reinforcing their knowledge.

The main aim of this book is to define the goals of DSP which is usually to measure, filter and/or compress continuous real-world analog signals. The application of computational power to digital signal processing allows for many advantages over analog processing in many applications, such as error detection and correction in transmission as well as data compressionKey Features Presentation of the aspects of DSP in a crystal clear manner It provides concept oriented information and every concept is accompanied with relevant example, a problem and corresponding solution. It addresses the various problems and caters to diversified needs of the students in view of examinations
