The document discusses reference services in libraries. It describes reference sections, reference librarians, and the different types of reference services provided. Specifically, it outlines short range/ready reference services which provide quick fact-based answers using sources like encyclopedias. In contrast, it describes long range reference services which involve more extensive searching over longer periods of time, using a wider range of sources to address research-level questions. The goal of reference services is to make the right connection between users and information.
Indexing language concept types and characteristics
This document discusses subject indexing languages. It defines subject indexing language as a set of controlled vocabulary terms and their relationships that are used to describe the concepts in documents. There are three main types of indexing languages: natural language, which uses terms directly from the document; controlled vocabulary, which uses standardized terms from an authority list; and free indexing language, which uses any terms. The key aspects of subject indexing languages are that they allow concepts from documents to be represented in a structured way to facilitate information retrieval.
Library Automation & Criteria for selection Library Software
Library automation is the general term for information and communications technologies (ICT) that are used to replace manual systems in the library.

Weeding Presentation
Weeding is the process of removing materials from a library collection that are no longer useful or relevant. It is necessary to keep collections current and ensure materials are circulating, but it can be a time-consuming and controversial process. Common fears about weeding include it being viewed as throwing away books or making mistakes in decisions. When weeding, factors like currency, circulation, condition, duplication and format obsolescence should be considered. Materials removed may be donated, recycled or sold to generate revenue. Weeding helps free up space and staff time while ensuring the collection meets the needs of its users.
RDA (Resource Description & Access)
RDA (Resource Description and Access) is a new standard for describing library resources, designed to replace AACR2. Library staff, including public services, systems personnel, and catalogers, may have heard mention of RDA but not know much about it or how it will change their daily work. You may have many questions. What is RDA? We'll give a very little bit of history and theoretical background. What is this going to mean for catalogers, ILS managers, and users in the near term? What are the future implications, or, why are we doing this? What are the juicy bits of controversy in cataloger-land? And finally, Do we HAVE to? We'll talk for a while, have some activities that get you thinking, and find out your thoughts on RDA.

Effective PRFS: principles and practice
This document discusses principles for effective research assessment and funding systems. It argues that assessing quality can provide accountability, identify strengths and weaknesses, and encourage improvement. Linking assessment to funding provides stronger incentives to raise standards. An effective system is objective, consistent, fit for purpose, and accepted as credible. Peer review informed by quantitative indicators can best capture diversity across disciplines. Disciplines and research units must be appropriately defined. Management and communication must be transparent to maintain fairness and confidence in the system. Assessment should precede funding decisions to reduce gaming and allow funding to follow excellence.
