Bibliometrics to Altmetrics and its impact on Social media
(International Journal of Scientific & Innovative Research Studies (IJSIRS), 2015-03) Mishra, Anil Kumar; Kumar, Satish
In the age of Web 2.0, individuals are strongly connected in the virtual worlds and form diverse online communities. Recently, the transmission of information in these online communities has gained much attention, partly because of the enormous popularity of online social networking sites and their potential marketing impact. The social media tools available on the internet assist the encouragement of science dramatically, and the change is happening in real time models. Expansion of World Wide Web and newer technologies has improved the ways in which science is communicated and its assessment techniques. The use of conventional metric tools judges the impact of scholarly publications using citation and download counts. They are broadly used to evaluate articles, authors, and disciplines on publishers' platforms. These tools analyze the citation data in normal course of time and make them available. A barrier to spreading of research is that it depends on the end-user searching for or ‘pulling’ relevant knowledge from the literature base. Social media instead ‘pushes’ relevant knowledge directly to the end-user, via blogs and sites such as Facebook and Twitter. The social media is very effective at improving and spreading seems well accepted, but, remarkably, there is no evidence to support this claim.
Big data technology: opportunities and challenges
(Journal of Library, Information and Communication Technology, 2016) Mishra, Anil Kumar; Kumar, Satish
The increasing volume of information captured by enterprises, upsurge of multimedia and social media, and the Internet of Things (IoT) is fueling exponential growth in Big Data analytics. Every day close to With the volume and variety of data expanding exponentially, organizations that are able to capture quintillion bytes of data is being created and according to IDC report on Digital Universe, from now until 2020, the digital universe will about double every two years. Big Data by itself is meaningless, unless it translates to or helps us drive relevant outcomes. With the volume and variety of data expanding exponentially, organizations that are able to capture and analyze it are bound to have a much higher competitive advantage over those that don't. But choosing how to go about using Big Data is a tough puzzle to crack. This paper deals with such opportunities and challenges of big Data. In this paper we have mentioned some open source tools and technologies to create, manipulate, and manage such 'Big Data'.
Challenges and opportunities of internet of things for library management
(National Conference on Next Generation Libraries: Issues and Challenges, 2015-03-22) Mishra, Anil Kumar; Kumar, Satish
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a vision of connectivity for anything, at anytime and anywhere, which may have a dramatic impact on our daily lives similar to the Internet done in past 10–20 years. It is recognized as an extension of today’s Internet to the real world of physical objects, which is often associated with such terms as “ambient intelligent,” “ubiquitous network,” and “cyberphysical system.” Its development depends on dynamic technical innovation in a number of important fields, ranging from fundamental microelectronic devices, sensor technologies to information and communication technologies (ICT). The Internet of Things has been called by many names. The idea is that objects can be connected through the internet in new ways. This happens when a combination of web-enabled devices (computers, phones, handhelds) and technology that can communicate with those devices (sensors, RFID, 2D and 3D barcodes) allows information to be attached to an object. The information can stand on its own and be read by a device or it can trigger an action such as bringing up a web page, playing a video, reminding pick up book, or giving a message to customer. This paper analyzes the key technology and working principle of IoT, its development in India and abroad, its application in the library development and management. The primary intent of this paper is to provide libraries an overview of IoT features and capabilities that can be used to develop online complex library solutions.
Digital Preservation of Electronic Resources: Issues, Challenges and Opportunities
(International Conference on Digital libraries (ICDL 2013) from 27-29 November 2013 in New Delhi, India, 2013-11) Mishra, Anil Kumar; Kumar, Satish
Digital preservation is a broad term used to describe the continued accessibility and maintenance of digital resources and safeguarding these for the foreseeable and the distant future. Digital preservation is a vital part of the creation and management of any digital collection. Without the appropriate preservation a digital collection can easily become inaccessible and therefore useless in just a matter of a few years. A modern research library’s collection comprises of among other things, printed materials, online electronic resources, and locally developed digital library collections. Preservation of printed materials is not a big challenge for modern librarians but preserving and providing long-term access to digital collections is a thwarting process for librarians. Also, library users cannot take for granted the continued access to the online journals to which their libraries have subscriptions. This is because, libraries, for various reasons, can discontinue subscription to certain journal titles. Also, the publisher may discontinue any of the journals that they have been publishing. When such a situation arises, the library users will no longer be able to access the journals to which the library used to have subscription. To address such a situation, researchers at the Stanford University have developed a software tool called the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe). This tool can help in facilitating preservation of bits and also provide continued access to such online resources. This paper provides a brief overview of the main issues in digital preservation, highlighting current research and standard efforts. It also looks into the aspects involved in the digital preservation and discusses some of the techniques required for digital preservation. It gives a bird’s eye view of various projects initiated for archiving digital content of scholarly journals.
Excellence in Library Services by using Mobile Technology
(Journal of Library Information and Communication Technology, 2015) Mishra, Anil Kumar; Kumar, Satish
Mobile phones and other handheld devices such as i-pads, smart phones, e-readers, tablets etc., are among such devices that are basically used for communication and performing multipurpose tasks such as voice communication, sending smses, taking snapshots/videos, storing phone numbers, playing music, voice recording etc., many are not even aware that these devices can also be used for seeking information from libraries. Public library has seen tremendous changes and evaluated from paper to electronic media. Proliferation of information in electronic media found great impact on libraries. Mobile Technology is one of the aspects of Electronic Media. The main objective of this paper is to focus on how mobile technology is being used in libraries as well as services provided through technology. In this quest, an attempt has been made here to bring out the meaning of mobile libraries, types of library services provided through mobile technology and glimpse of trends, developments & various projects undertaken by different leading libraries across the globe, especially in the developed countries and also the role of vendors in this regard. India’s position in this scenario is also seen. Also this paper is an attempt to understand how mobile technology is useful in improving and providing better library services.
PKP and its open journal system: an initiative in open access scholarly environment
(National Conference on Library Information Science and Information Technology for Education, 2015) Mishra, Anil Kumar; Kumar, Satish
Commercial publishers are increasing the subscription prices of journals, the libraries attached touniversities, colleges and R&D institutions are finding it very difficult to subscribe the core journals to cater tothe knowledge requirements of their stakeholders. The Open Journal System helps us to publish and manage theentire publishing process of a journal; the Academic institutions can do this without any additional funding.This paper describes about an initiative; started by the Public Knowledge Project
RFID technology for identification, security and document handling in library
(National Conference on Library Information Science and Information Technology for Education, 2015) Mishra, Anil Kumar; Kumar, Satish
Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is a wireless non-contact system that uses radio-frequency waves to transfer data from a tag attached to an object, for the automatic identification and tracking. It is a technology that uses the radio waves for transferring data from an electronic tag called as RFID tag. Library RFID systems are composed of tags, readers and middleware software. The systems rely heavily on the Integrated Library Management System (ILMS). Tags are placed inside library documents. The readers are placed at staff workstations and self-check machines and built into security gates. The readers read the information on the tag and pass the information to the ILMS. RFID is a powerful technology that can change how libraries deal with physical as well as digital technologies to offer new services.
