Abstract: Since the early days of catalogues, the structure and interface of library tools used for accessing the resources are changing rapidly and dramatically to fulfil the changing user needs. In recent years, the behaviour of library users has been undergoing drastic changes due to increasingly use of web search engines and ICT based services. This paper describes the expectations of such users who are looking for information. It presents an optimized approach that enables academic libraries to provide its patrons with an up-to-date user experience while capitalizing on the unique advantages offered by libraries. Ways of integrating the new solution with the current library environment including features and functionalities of next generation catalogues are discussed URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1684 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The present paper endeavours to focus on the current structure of Library as a dynamic organization that transcended from the earlier unit culture to the present global culture. This transitional transformation is attributed to the splendid changes being brought about by the information and communication technology to the domain of the information management and dissemination. Further, the true culture of libraries as a social and participatory place has been buttressed in the electronic environment by the developments in the web technologies and tools. The paper in an attempt to showcase the application of web 2.0 tools as add-on technology for rendering participatory knowledge services by the libraries, focuses on some of these tools with special reference to virtual reference services. While concluding it is pointed out that the profession in general, claims a long history of effectively recognizing user’s needs and then applying that user knowledge towards service delivery schema which completely address those needs.

Abstract: Web scale discovery services for the library environment have the capacity to more easily connect researchers with the library’s vast information repository. This includes locally held and hosted content, such as physical holdings, digital collections, and local institutional repositories. Perhaps more significantly, web scale discovery also accesses a huge array of remotely hosted content, often purchased or licensed by the library, such as publisher and aggregator content for tens of thousands of full-text journals, additional content from abstracting and indexing resources, and content from open access repositories. This paper defines web scale discovery and highlights importance of discovery tools being used by the libraries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1665 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The paper has made an attempt to study the activities and reasons for using Social Networking Sites (SNS) by the research scholars of North Eastern Hill University (NEHU). For that the study has covered two social networking sites namely Facebook and ResearchGate based on popularity and widely used by research scholars. a self administered questionnaire was distributed among the research scholars of NEHU. And the primary data gathered through questionnaire were analyzed and discussed in accordance with the objective of the study. Here it is found that most of the scholars from social science background use SNS from education and research point of view; on the contrary scholars from pure science think that SNS has no role on research and education. They use SNS just for entertainment. The paper concludes with some suggestions given by the respondents for making SNS better research tool. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1666 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Few Library automation software packages are available in the market. But the cost of the software package, bar code reader, bar code labels and in all the total cost is not affordable to most of the public libraries particularly from rural areas. Most of these software packages allow the data entry of the bibliographic details of the document in English only and allow to take output reports in English language only. Few packages allow the data entry in Devnagari script, but these modules are costly and needs to be purchased separately. The authors, therefore, tried to develop a model library automation multilingual package, which will be helpful to save on costs incurred, allow to enter details in local language, and source code will be made available to make modifications (if required) in it.

Abstract: Importance of localization of ICTs in India and the efforts are being made by the different organizations for localization of Indian Languages are highlighted. The role of the North Eastern (NE) universities in India in this regard can be significant for making ICTs useful in the local communities, especially in rural areas. Like in Rajasthan State, a women university situated in rural area, Banasthali University’s effort in the localization process is creditable and may be a kind of learning for NE universities. As India, a linguistically diversified country, the languages being the important vehicles to carry its culture and tradition for posterity and NE states, a hub of local and tribal languages, a proper use of ICTs in developmental process is possible if proper care is given to localization of ICTs. Further, a large number of local languages, especially minority languages in the NE India are at the verge of extinction, and some have already become extinct. In the present ICT environment, enormous prospects are available to make efforts at the universities levels which will not only help in preserving these languages and literature, but also by localization of ICTs to local people will receive proper benefits from ICTs which in turn, being valuable resource, can helpful in Government’s efforts and projects; e-governance, NeGP(India), etc and other development activities of the society . Similar to Banasthali, libraries of NE can initiate some efforts through projects with the help of their parent universities and institutions in ICT localization and preservation of the local languages and literature of the localities /communities.

Abstract: The paper is about REST (Representational State Transfer) patterns URI using various new web technologies. This paper discusses use of REST URI with several Semantic Web components, along with Semantic Web and Ontology technology implementation approaches along with theory concepts in mind so the practical implementation can be further carried out with variety of measurements. In Ontology terminologies, SPARQL is a standard query language for RDF but plays a vital role by using FOAF function which deals with information of particular URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) to process.
