1. The document analyzes library automation in Sri Lankan university libraries, identifying which libraries use different software for acquisitions, cataloguing, OPAC, circulation, and serial control. 2. It finds that while all libraries have automated cataloguing, other functions are only partially automated. The level of automation varies between libraries and is limited by factors like budget and trained staff. 3. Recommendations include allocating more funds for automation, recruiting dual-qualified librarians and IT staff, training existing staff, and developing open-source library software.

VerXCombo: An interactive data visualization of popular library version combi...
In large software systems, it is common practice to
adopt third-party libraries. Decisions by system maintainers to either update or introduce new third-party libraries can range from trivial to complex. For instance, incompatibility between internal library dependencies may complicate adoption. Therefore, system maintainers especially need adequate assurance of any candidate library release. Using the ‘wisdom of the crowd’, VerXCombo aims to assist system maintainers by mining popular library dependency patterns of similar systems. Through data interactions, VerXCombo leverages parallel sets to break-down large and complex dataset into distinguishable patterns of 1.)popular and 2.) latest library dependency release combinations.
Populating our tool with a maven library dependency dataset from over 4,000 Java Open Source projects, we demonstrate through a case scenario navigation and best fit combinations of the VerXCombo tool. A video highlighting the main features of the tool can be found at: http://goo.gl/wWPylL
Trust of a Library: A Study of the Latency to Adopt the Latest Maven Release
This document summarizes a study on the latency of developers to adopt the latest releases of Maven libraries in their projects.
The study analyzed over 188,000 dependency relationships between 6,374 software systems and 5,146 libraries from Maven data between 2005-2013. It found that initially, around 40% of dependencies adopted older library releases rather than the latest (latent adoption). However, over time more projects adopted the trusted latest releases, with around 80% doing so for newly introduced dependencies.
The research aims to understand how much latent adoption exists, and the current trends in how much developers trust library updates. It categorizes dependencies as either trusted or latent adoptions to analyze adoption trends over time.

This document discusses the Eastern University of Sri Lanka (EUSL) Library Network's experiences using open-source software (OSS) to provide library functions and services. The EUSL Library Network faced issues with its commercial integrated library system (ILS), including high costs and lack of customization. To address these issues, the EUSL Library Network began using various OSS applications, including Koha and NewGenLib for ILS, DSpace and Greenstone for digital repositories, and Joomla for its website. The use of OSS helped solve problems with the proprietary ILS and reduced costs. However, the document notes that standards and training are still needed for widespread OSS adoption in Sri Lankan university
Library automation software usage in university & special libraries in sri lanka
This document summarizes a study on library automation software usage in university and special libraries in Sri Lanka. The study found that KOHA and Libsys were the most commonly used software in university libraries, with KOHA being the top priority, while WinISIS and Purna were most used in special libraries, with WinISIS as the top priority. The study also identified problems with insufficient funding, training, and support for library automation software. It recommends allocating more finances, conducting feasibility studies before purchasing software, providing training workshops, organizing user groups, and shifting to open source software.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
