The paper studies the measurement of research productivity of Indian scientists contributing to world soybean research for the period 1989-2008 based on the data available in the International Crop CD database. The paper measured the publication share of India in the world publication on soybean, its activity index, growth rate and doubling time, analysed the authorship pattern, various statistical distributions of authorship like mean, variance, binomial distributions, negative binomial distributions, geometric distributions; collaboration coefficient and collaboration index, prolific authors and their dominance factor, applicability of Lotka’s law, etc. The paper reveals that India has 2nd rank in research publication with 13.64% share in the world. The activity index of India decreases gradually. The growth rate has also decrease gradually and correspondingly doubling time has increased. The paper reveals high degree of collaboration with 93.10% contributions of joint authorship. The average collaboration coefficient is 0.931 and average collaboration index value is 3.115.

Web-Based Information Retrieval Pattern of Medical Students
(Inflibnet Centre, 2011-03-02) K, Mohamed Haneefa; M, Jina E
The purpose of this study was to assess the web-based information retrieval pattern of the students of Calicut Medical College, Kerala. Structured questionnaires were employed to collect data from a representative sample of 100 MBBS students. The study found that a majority of the students often use the web for communication and to get general information and recent advances in Medicine. A good number of the students use web-mail and social networking sites very frequently. All the students use simple search methods for accessing the web. Google is the most preferred search engine followed by Yahoo. Only a very few of the students use e-journals and databases. Lack of training/orientation, lack of computer infrastructure, lack of fulltext e-journals and low Internet backbone speed are the major reasons of underutilization of web-based information resources. The findings of this study would assist medical institutions in India to develop strategies and policies that could make better use of web-based information resources for medical education and research.

(INFLIBNET Centre, 2011-03-02) Pradhan, Dinesh R; Trivedi, Kruti; Arora, Jagdish
The universe of libraries has evolved and expanded from repository of books, journals and other non-print materials in physical format to knowledge repositories that contain collections in physical as well as electronic and multimedia format. With this changing environment of collection of library resources, the greatest challenge in front of libraries is to find out the best way to present, promote and make accessible the growing collections of heterogeneous resources. Libraries are required to look for search and discovering tools to provide seamless access to their resources. This article introduces basic philosophy of federated search and discovery tools. It elaborates on technological tools, techniques and protocols that are used for developing federated search and discovery tools. The article narrates disadvantages of federated search solutions and discovery tools as compared to conducting a search directly on the interface of primary database. The Concept of open URL as a technology used for link-resolving and finding “appropriate copy” is discussed briefly.

(Inflibnet Centre, 2011-03-02) Kalra, Harinder Pal Singh
Digital and virtual reference services have (DVRS) have been there in libraries in the developed world for more than a quarter century now.
