(INFLIBNET Centre, 2017-08) Majumdar, Shrabani; Datta, Swaguna
Women’s studies as an interdisciplinary subject, focuses on the roles, experiences, and achievements of women in society. There has been tremendous growth in research, scholarship and action related works in the subject area of women’s studies. This is to be made visible and the research trends are to be identified to decide upon and evaluate the focus of the subject. Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET), through their thesis and dissertation repository project named ‘Shodhganga’, provides a wonderful opportunity to identify the research trends in various subject areas, and ‘women’s studies’ has been chosen as the scope of the present paper. A total of seven contributing universities, two general and five women universities, are chosen for the purpose. For these seven universities, all the PhD theses submitted for last five decades (since 1970’s), relating to different women related issues are taken into consideration to map the research trend. The results show, that researches regarding women related issues have continuously increased and particularly in the new millennium the trend is experiencing almost an exponential growth. Almost 80% of the total theses in the subject area have been submitted after 2000 and the current decade i.e. 2011-17 is undoubtedly the most productive one. The subject area of ‘Women Employment’ and ‘Women in Literature’ has always dominated the field. The research areas got more diverse from 1990’s and particularly in the new millennium newer fields are started to be explored.

(INFLIBNET Centre, 2017-08) Syamili, C; Rekha R V
Ontology is a broad term including a wide range of activities. Ontology can provide semantics for the next generation of World Wide Web. Recently ontology has become a major research issues in several disciplines of Computer Science and Information Systems. There are a range of domain ontologies on the semantic web such as Gene Ontology, Biological science ontology, CIDOC-CRM ontology of culture heritage documentation, FRBR in Bibliographic and NCI cancer ontology. When a new methodology is going to build, several basic questions arise related to the methodology, tools and techniques which are to be used in the development process. The study discusses various ontology engineering methodologies and compares major existing domain ontologies with these ontology engineering methodologies. The study critically analyses the problems of existing engineering methodologies and put forward some suggestions to overcome these limitations.

Research Data Analysis with Power BI
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2017-08) Krishnan, Vijay
Power BI has taken the world of business intelligence, data visualization and analytics by storm. Power BI is an online service that enables searching data, transforming it, visualizing it, and sharing the developed reports and dashboards with other users in the same or different department/organizations or even with the general public. As of February 2017, more than 200,000 organizations across 205 countries are using Power BI. Power BI is having a free option that has adequate features and functionality, it has become a serious contender for use as a business intelligence platform in small and medium organizations. One of the innovative features of Power BI is its Quick Insights feature (Michael Hart, 2017) that is built on a growing set of advanced analytical algorithms. After uploading a dataset to Power BI, a click of a button can be used to invoke this feature that automatically builds many reports based on its analysis of the data, without any human intervention being required. This also helps reduce human errors, in calculations and statistical techniques, which lead to un-verifiable research. Accepting even Excel spreadsheets as input, Power BI is easy to use and ripe for adoption as a platform for Research Data Analysis. In this paper, an attempt has been made to show how easily a dataset of research data can be transformed by Power BI into a set of analytical reports and dashboards, and which can be shared with ease.

Connecting the Past and the Future: Memory Institutions Facilitating Access to Information in Zimbabwe
(INFLIBNET Centre, 2017-08) Chisita, Collens Takaingenhamo; Rusero, Alexander Madanha
Memory institutions serve as the bridge spanning the gap of the past and the future through the preservation of intellectual and cultural heritage to sustain development and prevent memory loss. Access to information serves as a thread that connects communities, research and memory institutions. The future and success of national development goals are premised on access to information and hence the need to explore how technologies can be utilized to integrate libraries and related memory institutions to support digital inclusivity. This paper explores the challenges and opportunities of developing countries like Zimbabwe in sustaining the digital infrastructure. The paper highlights the extent to which libraries can create digital platforms to interact with the digital public in the area of humanities. The paper also examines how academic library consortia are utilising technology to connect with the scholars and researchers. It explores the extent to which libraries can utilise Public and Private sector Partnerships (PPPs) with National Research and Education Networks (NRENS) and Internet Service Providers (ISP) to enhance the value of service delivery. It will also highlight the challenges and opportunities of promoting memory institutions for the benefit of research and education. This paper also brings out another dimension of the media as a critical platform that preserves and facilitates the access to information, arguing that the media is the first draft of history and as such useful bedrock that memory institutions might reliably rest upon. However, the paper is also cognisant of the possibility of the uses and abuses as well as manipulation of memory institutions as instruments of political expediency. This is so, especially in sceptical regimes who may view memory institutions as nothing other than appendages of power. Yet if truth be told, memory institutions are sacrosanct repositories which ought not to be tempered with.

As new issues arise, there are new interpretations of existing legal rules. How WhatsApp, an instant messaging service is impacting the life of people using it and how Indian Librarians have adopted using WhatsApp for personal and professional updation is detailed in this article. Since information is the forte of Librarians; they are having additional responsibility of ensuring that they identify fake from real and authentic information from untruths that is floating around on various social tools especially WhatsApp and educate the general community of the same. This article aims to inform admins/users of LIS WhatsApp groups of legal implications of using WhatsApp tool.
