Informetrics is the study of quantitative aspects of information and involves the measurement of information phenomena and the application of mathematical methods to information problems. It encompasses fields like bibliometrics, scientometrics, and webometrics. Informetrics is an interdisciplinary field that is used in library management, the sociology and history of science, science policy, and information retrieval. It examines information flows and follows informetric laws like Bradford's law of scattering, Lotka's law, and Zipf's law. Informetrics offers opportunities for information professionals and is becoming a scientific discipline.

Library automation refers to the implementation of information and communications technologies (ICT) in the libraries and information centres for replacing manual library operations. The term automation is used for any process which is done through input and output operation. Library automation system includes maintenance of large bibliographical database. The status of library automation depends on Interaction between human and computer to accomplish various tasks of the library automation systems. In order to provide and also to enable the records in the database. The international standards for bibliographic description of library automation system uses sophisticated software tools and standard to index search and display information from the database created.
Software's now-a-days became the life line of modern day organizations. Libraries also need software if they want to create a parallel digital library with features which we may not find in a traditional library.
The prime objective of any library is to meet the information requirements of its clients most effectively. To meet this objective, the library builds the collection in a planned manner and offers a variety of information services to inform the users what is available and whatever latest has been published in their areas of interest. All these services generate requests from the users for the original documents. The service that supplies the required document to the user on demand is known as Document Delivery Service.

Information Science and Technology (IST): The Nature and View from the Domai...Scientific Review SR
Information Science is a Science of Sciences responsible for Information Solution besides its
Technological Solution. Information Science [IS] is a broad field and combination of many fields of Science,
Engineering, Management, Humanities and so on. Information Science during its origin developed as Information
Field for Information activities such as collection, selection, organization, processing and management, and
dissemination. Information Science sometimes treated as Information Studies or Library Science; however, there
are many differences between Information Science and these two. Information Science is today emerging as an
important name in Science and Technology and in several cases, the nomenclature of Information Science
become popular as Information Science and Technology (IST). This paper talks about Information Science and its
nature in the contemporary scenario with a brief discussion on earlier facets etc

In the world of digital literacies, liaison and instructional librarians are increasingly coming to terms with a new term: algorithmic literacy. No matter the liaison or instruction subjects – computer science, sociology, language and literature, chemistry, physics, economics, or other – students are grappling with assignments that demand a critical understanding, or even use, of algorithms. Over the course of this session, we’ll discuss the term ‘algorithmic literacies,’ explore how it fits into other digital literacies, and see why it as a curriculum might belong at your library. We’ll also look at some examples of practical pedagogical methods you can implement right away, depending on what types of AL lessons you want to teach, and who your patrons are. Lastly, we’ll discuss how librarians should view themselves as co-learners when working with AL skills. This session seeks to bring together participants from across the different libraries, with diverse missions/vision/mandates, to explore ways we can all benefit from teaching AL. If time permits, we may discuss how text and data librarians (functional specialists) can support the development of this curriculum.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

• Introduction
There is no measurement (i.e meaningful data) without theory and no
theory without data.
The term “informetrics (Informetrie “German term”) was introduced by
Blackert and Siegel (1979) and by Nacke (1979), to cover that part of
information science dealing with the measurement of information
phenomena and the application of mathematical methods to the
discipline’s problems.
4. Informetrics was adopted in 1987-88 as the short title for the published
conference proceedings.
Informetrics is an emerging subfield in Information Science, based on the
combination of quantitative studies of information flows, and advanced
information retrieval and texts, and data mining.

LIBRARY MANAGEMENT
Library management is a sub-discipline of institutional management that
focuses on specific issues faced by libraries.
Library management involves functions such as Planning, Organizing,
Leading, and Controlling.
Planning is about systematically making decisions about the library goals.
Organizing is about assembling and coordinating human, financial, physical,
informational, and other resources needed to achieve library goals.
Leading is about functions that involve efforts on the part of the librarian to
stimulate high performance by employees.
Controlling about monitoring various library operations and services. These
four management functions are highly integrated.

THE SOCIOLOGY OF SCIENCE
The sociology of scientific knowledge (SSK) is the study of science as a
social activity, especially dealing with "the social conditions and effects of
science, and with the social structures and processes of scientific activity.
The field emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s and at first was an
almost exclusively British practice.

THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE
The history of science is the study of the historical development of science and
scientific knowledge, including both the natural sciences and social sciences.
Until the late 20th century, the history of science, especially of the physical and
biological sciences, was seen as a narrative of true theories replacing false ones.

Informertrics
Science Policy
Science policy is an area of public policy concerned with the policies that affect the
conduct of the science and research enterprise, including the funding of science,
often in pursuance of other national policy goals such as technological
innovation to promote commercial product development, weapons
development, health care and environmental monitoring. Science policy also
refers to the act of applying scientific knowledge and consensus to the
development of public policies.

Information Retrieval
Information retrieval is the activity of obtaining information resources relevant to
an information need from a collection of information resources. Searches can be
based on metadata or on full-text indexing. Automated information retrieval
systems are used to reduce what has been called "information overload". Many
universities and public libraries use IR systems to provide access to books,
journals and other documents. Web search engines are the most visible
IR applications.
16. Informertrics
This is probably the most prominent of the informetric regularities within the
information sciences, perhaps because of its promise for application to the control of
literature. Bradford (1934) discovered this regularity when studying the extent to
which literature in a single discipline is scattered over a range of journals.
Bradford’s Law of Scattering
Lotka (1926) found that if he associated with each member of a group of chemists his
article productivity, then the number of chemists. In Lotka’s, the mode of description of
this yield distribution is that of the traditional statistical probability distribution
function; indeed, of the informetric regularities, this one is most consistent with
traditional statistical description
Lotka’s Law
17. Informertrics
Many of the informetric regularities depend on ranked data. The most prominent
belongs to Zipf (1935), who analyzed the frequency of word occurrence in natural
text. He found that if he multiplied a word’s frequency by its rank in number of
occurrences in text, then the product was approximately constant. Zipf’s law, like
Lotka’s law, can be related to the forms of description traditional in statistics.
Zip’s Law

Informetrics today offers many new possibilities for LIS Professionals. For those who
want to explore Databases not only as a store of information but also as an analytical
tool, it is a way to learn how to explore online databases not only for accessing
documents or finding facts, but only to trace the trends and developments in society,
scientific disciplines or production and consumption.
Offers New Possibilities for LIS Professionals
19. Informertrics
The field is becoming a scientific discipline that includes:
•All the statistical and mathematical analyses related to the study of information
flows.
•Evaluation of science and technology.
•Library collection development.
Becoming a Scientific Discipline
20. Extensions / Distribution of Informetrics
Informetrics encompasses the fields of:
Bibliometrics:
Which studies quantitative aspects of recorded
information.
Librametrics:
Used the term to include statistical approaches
to the study of library and its services
Scientometrics:
Its concerned with the quantitative features and
characteristics of science and scientific research.
Webometrics:
Which studies quantitative aspects of the
World wide Web.
Cybermetrics:
Which is similar to webometrics, but broadens its definition
Informertrics
In a digitally networked
universe, “webometrics”
and sister terms like
“netometrics” and
“cybermetrics” signify the
extension of informetric
methods and concepts to
information transactions
taking place on the Internet.
