.Three key trends are emerging in the Asian mediascape:

the rise of new technology platforms and associated socio-economic behaviour patterns such as NTT DoCoMo's iMode service for mobile Internet access in Japan, the growing clout of countries like India, Singapore and the Philippines as centres of outsourced Web content development, and the rise of the "digital kieretsu" or networks of Web properties via mergers, acquisitions and alliances.

Media Resources

Software

M E D L I B : An Electronic Me-

dia Library Management Soft- ware which automates catalogu- ing, classifying and storage and retrieval of Audio and Video Programmes include stockshots.

Centres producing audio and video programmes, are faced with a daily problem of inventory of tapes and other non-print materi- als, storage and retrieval of programmes and stock shots for capsuling and production. It is essential for any production cen- tre which cries out for computer- ization and yet, there seems to be no standard software for ready use.

CEMCA in collaboration with EMPC, IGNOU had taken the ini- tiative to create a specially de- signed software for non print au- dio and video resources and com- missioned INFOTEL, India to do the task. Called MEDLIB, this software is a specially designed software on a Windows platform, fully Y2K compliant, easy to use, enables search on large number of parameters, from title, content, subject, producer, scriptwriter, etc.

It also enables classification and cataloguing of stock shots, helps your media librarian in classifi- cation of programmes, inventory, issue and retrieval, preparation of progress reports and helps your producer to search for stock shots and determine quality of stored material. The software is priced at Rs 20, 000 for educational in- stitutions. For your evaluation, M/

S INFOTEL, can provide you with a demonstration CD on re- quest.
