Presents my findings from analyzing the Library, Information Sciences & Technology Abstracts (LISTA) database. Points of analysis included keyword versus natural language queries, specificity, exhaustivity, indexes and access points, types of searches and search protocols, coverage, currency, predictability, retrievability, user-friendliness, and search help.
The arrival and enormous growth rate of digital contents have fundamentally changed the way in which content is made available to library users. In the recent years, libraries are acquiring more and more electronic resources (e-resources) because of perceived benefits, such as easy access to information and its comprehensiveness. Due to the influx of e-resources in libraries, the collection, acquisition, and maintenance of these resources have become complicated issues to deal with. This has forced libraries to devise strategies to manage and deliver e-resources conveniently. Therefore, “Management of E-resources” or “Electronic Resource Management” (ERM) has become a challenge for library professionals that needs to be addressed through research and practice. To meet these challenges, library professionals and content providers have decided to develop ‘Electronic Resource Management System’ (ERMS) for management of e-resources in a more systematic way.

How to Write a Literature Review
What This Handout is About…
This handout will explain what a Literature Review is and offer insights into the form and
construction of a Literature Review in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Sciences.
Introduction
OK. You’ve got to write a literature review. You dust off your world literature
anthology book, settle down in your Ebert and Roper at the Movies theatre chair with
your popcorn and soda in hand, and get ready to issue a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down”
as you leaf through the pages. “Literature Review” done. Right?
Wrong! The “literature” of a literature review refers to any collection of materials on a
topic, not necessarily the Great Literary Texts of the World. “Literature” could be
anything from a set of government pamphlets on British colonial methods in Africa to
scholarly articles on the treatment of a torn ACL. And a review does not necessarily
mean that your reader wants you to give your personal opinion on whether or not you
liked these sources.
What is a literature review, then?
A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area, and
sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time period.
A literature review can be just a simple summary of the sources, but it usually has an
organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis. A summary is a recap
of the important information of the source, but a synthesis is a re-organization, or a
reshuffling, of that information. It might give a new interpretation of old material or
combine new with old interpretations. Or it might trace the intellectual progression of the
field, including major debates. And depending on the situation, the literature review may
evaluate the sources and advise the reader on the most pertinent or relevant.
But how is a literature review different from an academic research
paper?
While the main focus of an academic research paper is to support your own argument, the
focus of a literature review is to summarize and synthesize the arguments and ideas of
others. The academic research paper also covers a range of sources, but it is usually a
select number of sources, because the emphasis is on the argument. Likewise, a literature
review can also have an “argument,” but it is not as important as covering a number of
sources. In short, an academic research paper and a literature review contain some of the
same elements. In fact, many academic research papers will contain a literature review
section. But it is the aspect of the study (the argument or the sources) that is emphasized
that determines what type of document it is.
Why do we write literature reviews?
Literature reviews provide you with a handy guide to a particular topic. If you have
limited time to conduct res.

But how is a literature review different from an academic research paper?
The main focus of an academic research paper is to develop a new argument, and a research paper will contain a literature review as one of its parts. In a research paper, you use the literature as a foundation and as support for a new insight that you contribute. The focus of a literature review, however, is to summarize and synthesize the arguments and ideas of others without adding new contributions.
Why do we write literature reviews?
Literature reviews provide you with a handy guide to a particular topic. If you have limited time to conduct research, literature reviews can give you an overview or act as a stepping stone. For professionals, they are useful reports that keep them up to date with what is current in the field. For scholars, the depth and breadth of the literature review emphasizes the credibility of the writer in his or her field. Literature reviews also provide a solid background for a research paper’s investigation. Comprehensive knowledge of the literature of the field is essential to most research papers.
Who writes these things, anyway?
Literature reviews are written occasionally in the humanities, but mostly in the sciences and social scienc.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Why and when you should use them
Created by: M. Payne, Emerging Technologies Librarian
2. Information can come from many different types of sources.
What kind of sources can I
use for my research?
What kind of sources can I
use for my research?
What types of sources are
available at John B. Cade
Library?

When should I use an article,
encyclopedia, or magazine
article in my research?
3. After viewing the types of information in this tutorial, you
should be able to:
ü Identify a variety of sources for information.
ü Identify specific uses appropriate for different sources.
4. Reference Sources
About Reference Sources
Reference Sources are specific types of books that can be useful to your research. Reference sources can be general,
such as the Encyclopedia Americana or Webster's Dictionary, or focused on a specific subject, such as The encyclopedia
of Food and Culture or Black's Law Dictionary.
Types of reference books include:
encyclopedias
handbooks
dictionaries
manuals
statistical sources
Use Reference Books
§ to get background information on an issue or topic
§ to get statistical information
§ to quickly scan a topic for keywords
as learning aids (dictionaries, thesauri, etc.)
§ to get leads to other sources (bibliographies)
5. About Journal articles
Journal articles are written by scholars in an academic or professional field. These articles may cover very specific
topics or narrow fields of research. An editorial board may review journal articles to decide whether they should be
published. Journals with articles that go through this process are called peer reviewed or refereed journals.
Since journals are published at periodic intervals, they are grouped in the category called periodicals.
Journals are usually published only a few times a year, such as bimonthly or quarterly. They may be in print format
or on the Web as electronic journals.
Journal Articles
Use a Journal...
when doing scholarly research to find out
what has been studied on your topic.
To find bibliographies that point to other
relevant research.
Examples of Journals:
Journal of Communication
The Historian
Journal of Business Research
Lancet
6. About Books
Books cover virtually any topic, fact or fiction. For research purposes, you will probably be looking for books that
synthesize all the information on one topic to support a particular argument or thesis. The library organize and store
book collections on shelves called "stacks.“ John B. Cade Library has over 100,000 electronic books covering many
subjects. As an Southern University Student you can assess e-Books in the library, and remotely.
Books
Use a Book...
when looking for an extensive amount of information on a topic.
§ to put your topic in context with other important issues.
§ to find historical information.
§ to find summaries of research to support an argument.
§ to find bibliographies that point to other relevant research.
7. Magazines
About Magazines
Magazines publish articles on topics of popular interest and current events. The articles are written by
journalists and are for the general public. Advertisements usually help keep the cost reasonable for the
average consumer.
Magazines, like journals and newspapers, are called periodicals because they are published at regular
intervals throughout the year. Most are published bi-weekly or monthly.
Some magazines are written for practitioners or professionals of an applied field and are called trade
magazines. Although trade magazines may be specialized, they do not usually include theoretical concepts
or reports of original research, and therefore are not considered scholarly journals.
Use a Magazine
to find information or opinions about popular culture
to find up-to-date information about current events
to find general articles by people who are not
necessarily specialists about the topic
8. Newspapers
About Newspaper articles
Newspapers include articles about current events and are a good source for local information.
They are available in print and electronically. You can access the electronic version of newspaper from
the library’s website.
Newspapers, like journals and magazines, are called periodicals because they are published regularly,
or periodically. Most newspapers are published daily.
Use a Newspaper...
§ to find current information about international, national and local
events.
§ to find editorials, commentaries, expert or popular opinions.
9. Credible Websites
About Websites
The World Wide Web allows access to information on the Internet through a browser or search engine. One
of the main features of the Web is the ability to link quickly to other related information (hyperlink).
There are LOTS of types of user generated media on the open web: Facebook, blogs, videocasts, wikis, and
discussion boards, just to name a few. These sources may help you dream up ideas for your research
projects, but they are NOT usually appropriate for college-level papers.
Use the Web...
§ to find current information.
§ to link to information provided by the library.
§ to find information from all levels of
government - federal to local.
§ to find both expert and popular opinions.
12. Glossary
Hyperlink: A word, phrase, or image that you can click on to jump to a new document or a new section within the
current document.
Peer reviewed: This refers to journal articles or other scholarly works that have been evaluated by a group of
experts in the author's field. Reviewers make sure scholarly works meet the accepted standards of that field. Also
known as "refereed."
Periodicals: Publications which are issued at least twice a year, including
journals, magazines, and newspapers are called periodicals. Bound periodicals are back issues that are shelved in
the General Book Stacks with the regular collection.
Stacks: Refers to the area of a library in which books and other materials are stored. This also refers to the book
shelves, which are "stacked" one upon the other.
