Abstract: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is not a new system but the base of this was established way back in 1940s. The credit goes to commercial or business organizations who have explored and implemented RFID to acquire, manage and provide security to their products or items. Information and Communication Technology has transformed the format of information and work culture of libraries. Still libraries are trying to address various problems like qualitative information management, speedy acquisition and dissemination of information and security of information products. This paper gives brief idea about the RFID, its importance in the library system, how it works and describes different components of the RFID technology. It also briefs about tentative budget to establish RFID technology in the library and finally its future in Indian libraries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1422 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Increased use of software engineering for model analysis, multimedia technology for usability, explicit support for reuse, metrics for project management and an increased use of natural language facilities will allow tomorrows end users to create their own application. The library is the most important resource for students and young engineers who wish to develop professional expertise quickly. This paper proposes two models viz., simulation model for Library Budget and CASE centered library-forecasting model. Models represent reality and simulation imitates it. Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real world process or systems over time. The paper deals about the purpose of simulation, steps in simulation, CASE tools, and CASE centered library model. Forecasting is employed for the projection of these operations and patterns into the future. The CASE centered forecasting model projected in this paper may be used for the development of an application system to show the potential of shared data base applications or as a foundation for a library management reengineering effort.

Abstract: Developing a bibliographical database is not an easy task. While developing it the designer must think about exchange of record, minimum consumption of memory, effective retrieval of the database content, etc. With these concepts in mine, the bibliographical database should be designed and provided mandatory attributes for capturing data. Most of the Information Retrieval Systems are based on keywords of the document and retrieve a list of documents in response to a user’s query. Then the user has to sequentially determine his/her relevant document. A keyword-based retrieval is a simple model that can encounter two major difficulties such as synonymy and polosemy problem. This paper introduces the application of vector based information retrieval technique in bibliographical database for effective retrieval. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1289 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The paper contains the substantial implication of the changing web as “web 2.0” for libraries and recognizes that while these implications keep very close to the history and mission of libraries. It describes the theory and definition to the practices of librarianship, specially addressing how RSS feed (popular tool of Web 2.0 technologies) might make changes in libraries provide access to their collection and user support for accessing the same. RSS aggregator applications installed in a library system, and coupled with the social network of the library, will enable users to have a single, customized personal library page that syndicates all the library content of interest to them and their research, elimination of irrelevant information. It also highlights the Download and installation of RSS reader software along with the activation process. Lastly, it provides the list of resources (both software & services) and libraries using these tools. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1157 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: With the growing amount of information in various domains, retrieval and analysis is the most frequently used operation. Various institutions/organizations generate valuable information in various domains which is queried and analyzed by users for various purposes. Most of the applications performing these tasks are predominantly database driven and tightly coupled with the system. This limits the possibilities of seamless database integration with other sources of knowledge and also their ability to adopt to changes in the information structures. We describe a generic approach comprising a loosely coupled system with an ability to perform complex querying, analysis and seamless integration with other systems, both off line and over Internet.

Abstract: Electronic journals unfold their most valuable features when they are inter-linked with other documents, archives and databases. These electronic journals need an archiving system that is based on a global concept. Archiving ensures “continued access indefinitely into the future of records stored in digital electronic form”. Archiving system has to be flexible to adopt the new technological generation. The rapid pace at which technology becomes obsolete makes archiving an extremely expensive undertaking. The librarians are more concerned about the archiving of the electronic journals themselves, or getting access to the archives established by the publishers or the aggregators. This paper focuses on the issues related to the archiving of electronic journals in Physics and Astronomy by the publishers, aggregators and the consortia.

Abstract: Preservation of digital material has become a major challenge for library and information professionals these days. Although libraries have been concerned with preserving cultural and intellectual heritage for centuries, it is only in recent years that preservation and conservation have become activities in their own right. Preservation of digital material is more complex because of the dependencies that exist between the information object itself and its technical environment- an environment that is generally created using rapidly obsolete and, therefore, fragile technology. This dependence can be at both the software and the hardware levels. In this sense, digital media present more complex problems than any other media libraries have ever had to face. The present article explores various strategies and methodologies for preserving digital materials and also focuses on the pressing need for libraries to develop strategies and practical action plans to maintain the safety and accessibility of the world’s historical and cultural heritage.

Abstract: Libraries, faced with declining budgets, increasing subscription prices have found themselves unable to purchase all publications and materials that their users would generally expect to have. To compensate for this, there is shift to subscribe the journals by other models and methods. Library consortia are one of the most effective means for libraries to subscribe to E-journals. University libraries in India are accessing e-journal under UGC-INFONET E-journal consortium. This facility has also been extended to libraries in North Eastern region. This paper reflects on the growing importance of usage statistics of electronic journals, their increasing use, and in particular universities in North East region It highlights the current usage of various e-resources accessed by the users of different universities located in North East region.

Abstract: This paper presents the status regarding the use of Electronic Resources by the post graduate students and Research scholars of VIT. The data reveals the extent of usefulness and the problems faced by the users in accessing the Electronic resources. The institute is providing online databases, online journals, distance education, CD & DVD ROM, Audio & Video cassettes etc. The use of these facilities is not satisfactory. The study shows that a majority of students use online journals for preparing project reports and for listing references only. The use of electronic resources for research purpose is very less. Measures should be taken to improve the use of electronic services. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1182 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The study presents the trends in authorship pattern and author’s collaborative research in Indian chemistry literature with a sample of 53,977 articles downloaded from SCI-Expanded database in Web of Science during the period 2000-2009. The average number of authors per article is 3.55 %. In the study the degree of collaboration (C) during the overall 10 years (2000-2009) is 0.03, but the year wise degree of collaboration is almost same in all the years of mean value 0.97. In the 10 years of period, the multi authorship articles are higher and predominant on single authorship. The study found that the researchers in chemistry are keen towards teamresearch or group research rather than solo research. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1656 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Here we present about automatically generated ontologies for a semantic web search system using data mining techniques. This will improve the query process and will get better semantic results. Ranking algorithm[1] is used to search and analyze web documents in a more flexible and effective way. Hyperlink structure of web document is utilized to rank the results. We use association rule mining to find the maximal keyword patterns. Clustering is used to group retrieved documents into distinct sets. This will extract knowledge about query from the web, populate a knowledge base. The search engine that searches the web documents so far are syntactic oriented. Here we develop a searching system that semantically searches the documents. The semantics of the terms is achieved using the ontologies. Ontology serves as Meta data schemas, providing a controlled vocabulary of concepts, each with explicitly defined meaning. Ranking algorithm used here is the hyper textual ranking algorithm that scans both the contents of the documents and also the reciprocally linked documents. This technique has several advantages that include providing better semantic notion during the search. It also serves for multiple frame documents. There is a need for automatic generation of ontologies when using the semantic searching system. The paper here focuses on how the automatic generation of ontologies could be done for a semantic search system using data mining techniques.
