Some of the earliest records of running events are those of men who ran against each other at the first Olympic Games. The Olympic Games festivals which had their beginnings in 776 B.C. continued until on early Christian Roaman Emperor named Theodosus stopped them around 400 AD. They had become cruel. Running was perhaps the simplest of the sports but it too became debased as prizes and the entertainment value become more important than training. The sprint race was the length of the stadi urn and the stones which marked the start allowed for twenty runners in a heat. There was a lapse of about Olympic and we hear nothing of athletics really taking a grip until 1834 when organizations began to make rules so something must have been going on before that time.

The industrial structure before the British imperial rule was not destroyed in India. The British imperial government deliberately destroyed the infrastructure of Indian traditional industry for the benefit of their metropolitan industry.

Growing nature of library web content and the issues surrounding the working environment, one need to build back-end databases of metadata and linked to electronic journals. Content management (CM) is defined as the process of collecting, managing and publishing content (Boiko, 2001; Thamaraiselvi, 2002) and Content Management System as a “database” or “repository” is an oversimplification. Databases and other web technologies indeed form the technical foundation of a CMS; it is up to the librarians to develop the vision of what a CMS can and should offer a library. Digital content management system is a software system that provides preservation, organization and dissemination services for digital collections. Also there is lack of uniform access protocols to ensure that the material can be readily discovered and shared by users and systems; lack of consistent authorization and authentication methods to enforce access control; . an inability to reuse available content; and . an inability to monitor and predict costs associated with digital projects (Yan Han, 2004).
