    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.

    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.

    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.
