    Design and Development of Dynamic Information Security Management Models for Sustainable Academic Libraries
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2017-08) Shivarama, J; Dawar, Vaishali A
    In the process of library automation, making digital resources available through library website and during communication with users, there are always chances of information security breaches. Many times, the libraries may need to pay very high price and face uneasy consequences for such incidences. This article tries to create awareness among librarians about the complex process of information security management through overview of various such models. The second part of the paper contributes comparative studies on attributes considered in the selected models. Also, comparative study of attributes in each model with Security Controls Sections in Information Security Standard ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and with functions of management ‘POSDCORB’ by Gulik and Urwik.

    Green ICT: A Study of Awareness, Attitude and Adoption among IT/Computer Engineering Students of LDRP-ITR, Gandhinagar
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2017-08) Patel, Mayuri
    Green ICT is an important strategic technology which has various benefits such as reducing green house gas emissions, lowering electricity costs, creating good corporate image, etc. This study is an attempt to determine the awareness and attitude carried out by the IT/Computer engineering students towards the Green ICT. This study also examines the acceptance of younger people concerning Green ICT practices and to identify the reasons, barriers and their views regarding IT. The present study has been made by surveying the IT/Computer engineering users groups at LDRP-ITR, KSV University Campus, by using random sampling techniques and the questionnaire tools. After the analysis, few suggestions have been given, which could increase the use of Green ICT in younger people and minimize the harmful impact to the environment. Academic libraries are an integral part of academic institutes; play a vital role in teaching, learning, scholarships and research activities for academic communities. Librarians take initiatives to create awareness and adopt Green ICT efficiently and effectively among academic communities which provide good and healthy environment to community for their better life and thus, to conserve global environment.

    Information Sources & Processing of Anna University-A Study
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2017-08) R. Pandian; G. Krishnamoorthy
    This paper basically aims at finding out the information seeking patterns of the two main groups of users namely, Faculty and Students. Apart from studying the usage pattern of these two broad groups, the study also aimed at finding out whether there are any differences in the usage pattern among the different categories of Students (UGs, PGs, and Researcher) and the different categories of Faculty members (Professors, Associate Professors and Assistant Professors). The total number of students at this University is 9854 and the respondents are 986; Faculty members are 449 and the respondents are 80. The specific objectives are to identify the use pattern of the different types of user. To achieve these objectives, the Researcher has conducted a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire ascertains the status of the user, frequency of library visits, browse pattern, information access and use pattern of information sources, problems and challenges to identify information resources of the Library

    Perspectives on Managing Knowledge in the Data-Centric Research Landscape
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2017-08) Usha, Mujoo-Munshi
    The current scenario of migrating from data deficit to data deluge situation is forcing us to give a thought to bring meaning to the mess by effectively managing the data tsunami. In the Knowledge society, the competitive advantage is gained through understanding the information and predicting the evolution of facts based on data. Digital transactions whether social, economic or in relation to government create data which can, in principle, be used for research and innovation. The present paper touches upon various perspectives of knowledge management in the data centric research landscape. While reflecting on the behavioural aspects of the authors, the paper delineates how the researcher’s environment of working with their own silos with their own small data sets is marking a paradigm shift in approach to collaborate as a community for sharing, accessing data for re-purposing to generate new knowledge. The data generation out of the research activities particularly scientific discoveries is colossal and very significant for brining innovations in research. For this, the author remarks that the key issues are to decipher mechanisms for construing, analysing and extracting meaningful information from this colossal data and manage this ever growing universe of knowledge  to provide a robust resource support system for research and innovation, and thereby avoiding duplication of efforts. The paper while highlighting the core challenges, elicits issues that can help in managing data searching, discoverability and usability. To this effect, a number of initiatives that are going on world over to promote effective data documentation and sharing to enable reuse have been educed. Emphasis has been laid on making space for innovation, rather than enforcing rules for innovation by following the new norms for creating discipline in three domains- learning, capturing and reflecting on the technology frontier. The paper illustrates several perspectives w.r.t. Library’s role in Big Data and generating knowledge assets for which capacity enhancement becomes naturally imperative. To this effect, attention has been drawn to various aspects on what Librarians need to know about Big Data and play a part in the ecosystem.
