(2022-11) Dhar, Prasenjit; Gayan, Mithu Anjali
Nowadays, the unethical use of information in the digital environment violates academic integrity. In this situation, information literacy is an essential skill mandatory for tackling challenges. The present study aims to find students’ awareness regarding academic integrity, information use, and information literacy in the digital environment from an ethical point of view. By using google form, a questionnaire was distributed randomly to PG students, and collected data were analyzed. Results of the study revealed that 88.24% (60) students are aware when plagiarism happens. Also, most of the PG students know the meaning of censorship (82.72%) and examples of citation style manuals (85.19%). On the other hand, less than half of the respondents were acquainted with the term netiquette (49.38%) and referencing software (27.16%). Further, Hypothesis testing results reveal that there is a significant difference between males and females regarding the statement, “Copying is allowed from open access resources without giving credit or citation or references”. Similarly, a substantial difference between the two age groups students was observed regarding two statements, one is the meaning of censorship, and another one is examples of citation style manuals. The researcher suggested that workshops, webinars, and training may be beneficial for students to keep academic integrity intact.

(INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 2022-11) Pradhan, Dibya Kishor; Maharana, Bulu
In addition to the traditional library information retrieval (IR) practices, the modern library has implemented federated search, web discovery, next-generation cataloguing, and other new tools for effective organization and discovery. Facet navigation (facet search, facet navigation, or guided navigation) is applied to many e-commerce sites and dominates the interface paradigm features. The faceted approach to knowledge organization in search and navigation functions of online catalogues helps users find their necessary information effectively and most conveniently. The application of faceted searching and navigation in library OPAC is discussed in this paper. This study aims to present an overview of OPAC's faceted techniques, which play a crucial role in information retrieval. This paper investigates the system or software used to develop the online catalogue and its status in terms of the faceted knowledge organization approach by the top engineering college libraries in Odisha ranked by NIRF. Identifying nine OPACs for this study found that ninety percent of the OPACs are faceted, and fifty percent of the library prefers Koha ILS.

Gift Authorship as a means of Research Collaboration among Indian Researchers
(INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 2022-11) Shimray, Somipam R
This study examines gift authorship as a means of research collaboration among Indian researchers. A systematic literature review was conducted using keyword searches such as “author”, “authorship”, “gift authorship”, “research collaboration”, “Indian researchers”, and “research collaboration model” from the selected databases, i.e., Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. The study found that adding friends and colleagues’ names as co-author through research collaboration without making any significant contribution are commonly practiced among Indian researchers. Recruitment, timely promotion, renewal contract and salary raises motivate gift authorship among Indian researchers. VRC is suggested for a rapid and effective outcome among homogenous disciplines. While HRC is advised for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaboration, allowing researchers to develop partnerships with various paths for researchers from many fields. Effective research collaboration could increase the value of knowledge generation and, as a result, encourage researchers to adopt effective models of collaboration that will inevitably improve searchers' abilities. The study recommended a research collaboration model (RCM) that will benefit future researchers to sign up for proper collaboration rather than simply adding a name as gift authorship
