Content Creation, Dissemination and Preservation: Disrupting the Status Quo through Technological Interventions
No full textDisasters, either natural and man-made, adversely affect humanity including human lives and tangible assets. Knowledge as the indisputable gold standard for growth and progress of civilization also destroyed during such disasters. This should not impediment the creation of knowledge. Instead, efforts should be made to find measures which can ensure the longevity of resources for posterity. In this paper, the authors have discussed tools after evaluation and comparison which can use by learners and educators for creation, dissemination and preservation of e-content, especially multimedia. The tools acknowledged for this motive are either cost-free or the basic version is free, or it offers educators & learners some extended free versions. This paper also highlights the resistance of Indian educators to this changing essence of learning from conventional to online
Implementation Cloud Enabled SaaS Services in Library Automation: A Study of Government Initiatives in India
No full textCloud computing is one of the exciting developments among technocrats and animated librarians over the world as a technology solution as well as a resource sharing venture. The study discusses the root causes of the issues associated with the conventional library management framework and provides the advantages, issues & challenges of using cloud-enabled technology when introducing library automation. Cloud services eliminate duplication of data creation & efforts, library resources utilise more because of better accessibility & visibility, scalable enough for integration with existing systems, less maintenance (cloud-enabled SAAS model), provision of on-cloud security & authentication and central database & backup-restore system offered disaster recovery challenge. As the present study concentrates on government initiatives, the NIC National Cloud/GI Cloud, Meghraj and famous cloud-enabled Government supported proprietary software (ILMS), run using a multi-tenet SaaS model of Meghraj is the selected area for the research. The stats show that, among the 46 library clusters, JNV Libraries Network Cluster No. 1 & JNV Libraries Network Cluster No. 2 are the top two clusters with contains 300 & 287 libraries, respectively. e-Granthalaya gives the provision of Web-Based OPAC, Mobile Based OPAC & Android Mobile App for implementation & use of e-Granthalaya in any library. To date, 5364 official implementations have been completed, including 5163 in various states in India including Maharastra as a top State (797 implementations) and New Delhi as a top District (456 implementations)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Google Scholar Adoption by LIS Educators in India: An Exploratory Study
Get PDFGoogle Scholar (GS) is one of the popular online databases fulfilling the research needs of academicians by providing an open and freely accessible platform for searching scholarly research along with basic research metrics (citations, h-index, i10, etc.) to assess productivity of an author or researcher. Now that GS is being used to measure the research performance of individual’s as-well-as institutions, it becomes very important to maintain a verified profile. This paper aims to analyse dual inter-related issues. Quantify LIS schools in India are the primary focus area of the study. Secondly, the scenario of LIS educators of India under GS will be evaluated. It also presents the accurate status of Indian universities (government) imparting LIS education and to investigate how many faculties of those universities are using Google scholar account for showcasing their research productivity. The study unveils those educators (LIS) whose articles are scattering under GS database but due to unavailability of profile GS can’t compute scientometric data for them. As per the VIDWAN database - an expert database developed by INFLIBNET, many LIS educators do not have their own Google scholar ID. In India out of 470 govt universities about 129 have LIS schools. Total 324 LIS educators are recruited under those universities. Only 206 educators possess own GS profile. Hence, the GS profile adoption ratio between Indian LIS educators is not impressive. This study can give an overview of the above-mentioned dual topics in details latter
