    Application of Innovative Services in the Library
    (INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 2016-11) Hangsing, P
    This paper attempts to look at innovative services within the framework of disruptive innovation. Innovative services are further contextualised to the library services. Key points of disruptive innovations found to be very apt to the library services are analysed and questions of whether to adapt, adopt or disrupt were raised. Non disruptive innovations services are distinguished from the disruptive innovative services. The risks of the disruption of individual library as oppose to the collective libraries are elaborated. Simple and affordable innovative services and conversion of non-users to users are suggested for sustaining the existence of the libraries.

    Specters in the Use of Electronic Journals: the North Eastern hill University Experience
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2006-11-09) Hangsing, P
    A general observation of the northeastern universities and specifics based on NEHU experiences indicates that the universities in the northeastern regions record comparatively lower percentage of usage. The poor statistical show is attributed to the infrastructural dwarf in the universities. The nature of skewed usage pattern is found similar to other empirical studies suggesting that such methods may be espoused to form the parameters for determining the core collection of the electronic journal consortium. The paper briefly examines the existing subscription deals and suggested that resorting to alternative deals may strengthen collection and ultimately the usage pattern. The paper also maintains that higher per capita expenditure per students should be encouraged in the region to buildup infrastructure and come at par with the mainstream.
