A briefing paper written by Ken Chad for Higher Education Library Technology contrasts the library resource management landscape now with the situation in 2008 when a Jisc/SCONUL LMS study recommended that the time was not right for libraries to purchase a new library management system. In the intervening period a new generation of 'library services platforms' (LSPs) has emerged to replace library management systems (or integrated library systems –as they are also known) and the pace of procurement has quickened.
Ken Chad analyses the current landscape and looks at the strategic issues around the changing nature of library collections, shared services, workflows, analytics and the cloud. He predicts that LSPs will move to encompass additional resource silos. Furthermore cloud-based library platforms will unleash further opportunity for shared services. ”The cloud is becoming the new normal” he suggests, quoting Amazon’s cloud strategy chief Andrew Jassy.

Implementing web scale discovery services: special reference to Indian Librar...Nikesh Narayanan
Web scale Discovery services arebecoming the widely adopted Information Retrieval solution in libraries across the world to connect its patrons with the relevant information they seek. In lieu with the world trend, Resources Discovery Solution implementation is gathering momentum in Indian libraries also.
Considering the Indian Libraries scenario, this paper attempts to provide an overview of Library Web Scale Discovery solutions, its need in Indian Libraries, important parameters to be considered for evaluation of Discovery Services, essential factors to be considered prior to implementation, stages of implementation and finally some thoughts on post implementation analysis for measuring the success.
What does success look like when it comes to library discoverability? Index based discovery systems have seen a dramatic rate of adoption since introduction to the research ecosystem in 2009, with more than 9,000 libraries relying on a discovery system to provide users with a comprehensive index to their offerings. Some issues bar the way to providing this comprehensive view, but many challenges have been overcome through collaboration between libraries, content providers and discovery partners. The NISO ODI initiative began to examine these issues in 2011, and released a best practice in June 2014.
Speakers will highlight examples of successful collaboration, note continued areas of challenge, and provide insight on how the Open Discovery Initiative Conformance Checklists can be used as a mechanism to evaluate content provider or discovery provider conformance with the best practice.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

INTRODUCTION
Library Management Systems (LMS) are often asked whether their system has an
ample functionality (e.g., a statistical module) to support managerial decision-making.
However, it is not always clear what specific objectives such functionality should be
designed to support. It seems that the whole issue needs to be more clearly defined.
Library Management System (LMS) is a web based solution which is developed on
latest technology focused towards automating the vital activities of the Library.
The LMS Solution can be integrated with Barcode for easy access and retrieval of
any item from the Library. An online public access catalog facility can be provided for
speedy retrieval of any kind of document. The LMS solution can be linked with self service
KIOSKS for quick search and online requisition.
DEFINITION
The Library Management System is designed for managing various activities of
“Central University Library”. Since library has a very large number of books and a large
number of members, it is impossible for librarian to manage day to day activitiesmanually.

LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
A Learning Management System (LMS) is “a software application that automates
the administration, documentation, tracking and reporting of training events”. LMSs range
from systems for managing training/ educational records to software for distributing
courses over the internet and offering features for online collaboration. In many instances
corporate training departments purchase LMSs to automate record-keeping as well as the
registration of employees for classrooms and online courses-students self-services (e.g.,
User notification, manager approval, wait-list management), the provision of on-line
learning( e.g., Computer Based Training, Read and understand), on-line assessment,
management of continuous professional education (CPE), collaborative learning (e.g.,
application sharing, discussion threads) and training resource management (e.g.,
instructors, facilities, equipment), are dimensions to Learning Management Systems.
Learning management systems enable an organization to effectively implement
enterprise learning. With an LMS, training and e-learning are managed by the LMS
software allowing users and administrators alike to easily access courses and reports. Using
an LMS, users can log on and easily access the training courses. As the student completes
the course, scores are tabulated and reports are generated. Likewise, managers and
administrators can access reports on the LMS and should be able to do the following:
Centralize and automate administration. Use self-service and self-guided services.
Assemble and deliver learning content rapidly. Consolidate training initiative on a scalable
web based platform. Support portability and standards. Personalize content and enable
Knowledge reuse.
DIGITAL LIBRARY SOLUTION
The knowledge economy has changed the playing field and one of the key levelers
for all stake holders is access to relevant and key knowledge and information. This has
brought about a paradigm change in the way Libraries assimilate and disseminate
information - from being mere repositories for books and journals to playing a key role in
making critical information available to users just in time, irrespective of their physical
location and boundaries.
Even before the advent of the Internet and the web, libraries sought to automate and
network with each other so that their citizens could have easier and wider access to
knowledge resources. The proliferation of resources such as other library catalogues, online
databases, full text publications, e - Journals, learning resources, discussion forum postings

on the web, etc., multimedia files, have posed a considerable challenge to librarians in
terms of making .
In order for Libraries to effectively address this challenge, we at Ecole Solutions,
help organizations create Digital Libraries using the open-source, community based digital
Library software, DSpace.
DSpace provides tools for management of digital assets and is commonly used as
the basis for an institutional repository. It supports a wide variety of data, including books,
theses, and 3D digital scans of objects, photographs, film, video, research data sets and
other forms of content. It provides work-flow management tools for content submission,
review and approval.
DSpace is the preferred digital library software for academic, non-profit, and
commercial organizations building open digital repositories. DSpace has been installed all
over the world by many institutions, as an effective way to deliver access to research
reports, scholarly publications, library collections, and more.DSpace can be very
effectively used to create:
• Institutional repositories (Theses, research reports, dissertations)
• Image Repositories (photographs, maps)
• Multimedia (Audio/Video) repositories
• Government records
• Learning content object Archives
• Encyclopedic collections
• Historical, religious and cultural archives (manuscripts)
• Music and arts collections
Key advantages of implementing DSpace include:
• It is Open Source and therefore there are no License Cost
• Completely customizable to suit different needs
• Supports international Meta Data standards including:
Resource Identifier – CNRI Handles - Handle System is a technology
specification for assigning, managing, and resolving persistent
identifiers for digital objects and other resources on the Internet. CNRI
Handles assign unique handles to each digital object which helps them in
easy retrieval
OAI – PMH v 2.0 - Open Archives Initiatives- Protocol for Metadata
harvesting is a standard for metadata harvesting. Thus service providers
of digital libraries can collect metadata, index them and provide them
better search results.
• Can manage and preserve all types of digital content

Ecole Solutions offers, complete end-to-end services to help libraries implement digital
libraries using DSpace. The services include:
• Pre-Implementation consulting including work-flow processes, system requirements
• Installation
• Training
• Configuration
• Customization
• Post-implementation support and upgrades
RFID - LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that facilitates non line of
sight identification of items. Basic elements of a comprehensive RFID system for library
kind of environment are Tags, Readers & Library Management Systems.
Implementing RFID system in libraries will aid tasks such as circulation, re-
shelving & theft detection and it has several other important advantages.
It can either replace or supplement existing library bar code system. When the costs
of labour is taken into consideration for tasks such as checkout, check-in inventory holds,
ists, mis-shelved items, etc. RFID can prove to be very efficient when compared to
traditional bar codes. In short, RFID streamlines workflow in the area of self services, book
return, shelf management and inventory.
RFID tags replace both the EM security strips and Barcode.
Simplify patron self check-out / check-in
Ability to handle material without exception for video and audio tapes.
Radio Frequency anti-theft detection is innovative and safe
High-speed inventory and identify items which are out of proper order
Long-term development guarantee when using Open Standard.

LEARN SOFT LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LLMS)
A learning management system (or LMS) is a software package, usually on a large
scale (that scale is decreasing rapidly), that enables the management and delivery of
learning content and resources to students. Most LMS systems are based to facilitate
“anytime, anywhere” access to learning content and administration.
At a minimum, the LMS usually allows for student registration, the delivery and
tracking of e-learning courses and content, and testing, and may also allow for the
management of instructor-led training classes, and resource allocation (Venues, rooms
textbooks, instructors etc). Most systems allow for learner self service, facilitating self-
enrollment, and access to courses.
LLMS is a web-based solution and available for 24X7. Highly security enabled
system. Administrators/ Trainers have full control over the solution. Usage of multimedia
is the core part of our LLMS. Can access the solution anytime and anywhere from the
world. User friendly system designing.

IMPORTANCE OF LLMS
LLMS is a web-based application developed for corporate and institutions. This
extraordinary way of learning a language is entirely different from the traditional way of
learning. Here learning becomes more task-based and contextual, thereby increasing the
language proficiency in an individual. It provides an easy way to master the language
through the method of listing and learning in a fully computerised ambience availing
individual attention.
DIGITAL LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

latest additions of books or articles. The list in the bulletin is arranged in the order of
subjects. The particulars of the items can include abstracts besides the standard
bibliographic data and library call numbers. The Keyword index or the author name index,
or both these indices can get appended to this report. The Current Awareness Service report
can be prepared either in the Rich Text Format or the HTML Format. The report when
created in the HTML format gets automatically linked to the Web Aware OPAC module of
LEARNSOFT. Fonts, sizes, colours, elements of bibliography and their sequence are
defined by users and are placed in a persistent form. With the RTF format output, it is
possible to further enhance the publication using word processors, if required.
SELECTIVE DISSEMINATION SERVICE (SDS)
Users can either from the web interface or through the librarian, record their
preferred subjects and change their preferences any time. The library wanting to provide
this service periodically produces subject wise reports (similar to CAS service above)
covering the recently acquired material. These reports can be in HTML or RTF formats as
usual. The format and the layout of such reports can be specified by the library.

WEB BASED OPAC
LEARNSOFT has the capability of putting your library information on the Internet
/ Intranet. This module allows the user to login as a library member and view his/her loans
and reservations. He/She can even reserve an item in the library through the Internet. Along
with all these features, catalogue browsing, circulation details, word / phrase search, view
card etc. are also available. All this information appears as different web pages on the NET.
You can customize the appearance of these pages.
DIGITAL ITEMS
A digital item is a computer based file of data holding a picture, drawing,
photograph, a sound or film recording, an image of text, or a software application. A digital
item in a "library" collection need not be physically present in the library. It could exist
anywhere in the world, the library and their users can access it provided they have the
authority, access and the capabilities of playing or rendering the item. LEARNSOFT
provides methods by which libraries can describe such items to their users anywhere in the
world.
AUTHORISED USERS
They submit such items through a web-based service provided by LEARNSOFT.
Another set of authorized users can communicate with the library on the subject of quality,
usefulness, appropriateness of such submitted items. This community participation in the
inclusion of the item is found very useful especially in the intranet scenarios where
LEARNSOFT is employed to build a collection of digital items in an enterprise.
