This document discusses the concept of bibliometrics. It defines bibliometrics as the application of mathematical and statistical methods to books and publications. The document outlines the origin and development of bibliometrics, provides definitions, and discusses the scope, laws, software, applications, and limitations of bibliometric analysis.
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.

The document provides information on conducting a literature review for research. It defines a literature review as a summary and synthesis of previous research on a topic. The main purposes are to identify what is already known on a topic, determine gaps in knowledge, and establish a theoretical framework for a research study. A literature review uses primary sources like research reports but is not primary research itself. It describes, analyzes, and evaluates existing scholarship. The document outlines the key components and steps to developing an effective literature review, including selecting a topic, searching sources, critiquing literature, and constructing the review. It emphasizes being specific, selective, focusing on current topics, ensuring claims are evidence-based, and considering the reliability of source information.
This document defines and describes bibliometrics. Bibliometrics is defined as the statistical analysis and measurement of written publications and citations. It is commonly used to quantitatively analyze academic literature through citation analysis and other bibliometric methods. Bibliometrics can help identify influential researchers, publishing trends, core journals in a field, and more. Some key bibliometric tools include Scopus, Web of Science, and Journal Citation Reports. Common metrics include citation counts, h-index, journal impact factors, and field-weighted citation impact. While bibliometrics provides objective analysis, it also has limitations such as differences in citation patterns between disciplines.

This document discusses the importance of scientific documentation and information centers for economic growth. It outlines the history and evolution of documentation centers in India, from early concepts put forth by Paul Otlet and E. Hymansas to the establishment of specific centers like SENDOC and NI-MSME. SENDOC and NI-MSME provide information services, training programs, publications, and more to support micro, small and medium enterprises in India, which employ over 30 million people and contribute significantly to exports and industrial production. The document concludes by emphasizing the objectives and services of documentation centers in promoting and developing MSMEs in India.
CAS and SDI are types of current awareness services that aim to keep users informed of new developments in their fields. CAS disseminates information to all users on a topic, while SDI provides personalized, targeted information to individuals based on their specific interests. SDI involves creating user profiles that are matched to document profiles to select only the most relevant new information for each user. Both services rely on scanning current literature sources, but SDI uses computers to automate the selection and notification process, providing a more precise service than general CAS updates. The goal of both is to save users' time by bringing new relevant information to their attention in a timely manner.
Automation is the use of machines, control systems, and information technologies to optimize productivity and minimize human intervention. Library automation applies these principles to libraries by using technology to automate processes like collection, processing, storage, and retrieval of information. This frees up librarians and staff to focus on more meaningful tasks. The need for library automation stems from issues like information explosion, the rise of different formats and user needs, and limitations of libraries in terms of time, space, and human resources.

The document proposes a framework for applying Web 2.0 tools to design a community information service within public libraries. It outlines objectives to develop an integrated environment for community information and library resources, explore multilingual search capabilities, and create an interactive digital system using open technologies. The framework would integrate a library management system with community information standards and vocabularies to provide cataloguing, searching, browsing, and community communication functions in a single interface. Public libraries are well-positioned to process, organize and disseminate community information resources through such a user-friendly, Web 2.0 enabled system.
The Science Citation Index (SCI) was created in 1960 by Eugene Garfield to allow searching by cited references. It has since evolved into the Web of Science database, which provides access to multiple citation indexing databases covering science, social science, arts and humanities journals. Web of Science allows searching by author, cited references, and keywords to find relevant research and analyze impact metrics like citation counts and the h-index. Access is generally through institutional subscriptions.
Bibliometrics literally means "book measurement" but the term is used about all kinds of documents (with journal articles as the dominant kind of document).
What is measured are not the physical properties of documents but statistical patterns in variables such as authorship, sources, subjects, geographical origins, and citations.
This document provides an overview of conventional methods and recent trends in conducting literature surveys. It begins by defining a literature survey as a systematic search of published works and other sources to identify relevant items on a particular topic. The significance of literature surveys is discussed, including discovering existing information, providing a starting point for one's own work, and avoiding duplication. Search strategies like defining terms, setting time and scope limits, and remaining flexible are covered. Sources of literature discussed in detail include books, journals, the library catalogue, the internet (including Google Scholar), and specialist materials like conference proceedings and government/corporate reports. The presentation concludes by listing references consulted in preparing the overview.
The document discusses bibliometrics and bibliometric laws. It defines bibliometrics as the application of mathematical and statistical methods to bibliographic information, and discusses its origins and objectives. Three important bibliometric laws are covered: Lotka's law describes the frequency of publication by authors, Bradford's law explains the scattering of articles across journals, and Zipf's law concerns the frequency of word usage. In conclusion, bibliometrics is an important tool in library and information science for studying information processes and flows.
Open access (OA) literature is digital content that is available online for free, without restrictions on use or redistribution. There are two main types of OA: self-archiving content in repositories (green OA) and publishing in OA journals (gold OA). Major statements on OA include the Budapest Open Access Initiative and the Bethesda Statement. Institutional and disciplinary repositories archive and provide access to scholarly works. Directories like the Directory of Open Access Journals and the Open Access Directory help locate OA content and information. Benefits of OA include wider dissemination of research and potential citation advantages, while challenges include issues around funding models and publisher resistance.

This study assessed teacher readiness at All Saints Catholic School to implement Response to Intervention (RtI) through surveys before and after professional development sessions. Initially, teachers were unfamiliar with RtI and concerned about support and resources. After training, teacher agreement with positive survey statements about RtI increased significantly. The results show that providing effective professional development before implementing new programs can increase teacher buy-in and confidence in using new strategies. Future work should examine how to include parents and students in RtI.
This study examined the impact of self-regulated learning (SRL) informed feedback on medical students' learning strategies and skills performance. 171 undergraduate medical students were randomly assigned to receive either SRL feedback or best practice feedback during clinical skills training. Students who received SRL feedback showed significant improvements in SRL survey scores, while students receiving best practice feedback showed decreases. Interviews found tutors perceived SRL feedback as effective and intended to incorporate it into future teaching, but that backgrounds and prior experiences influenced how tutors delivered feedback.
Introduction: Journal Club helps to keep up with the vast literature and improves critical appraisal skills. As participation in journal clubs was decreasing a cross sectional survey to know the attitude towards journal club was conducted.
Materials and Methods: A questionnaire comprising of 16 questions was mailed to the faculty and post graduate students. Each most desirable response was scored 4 and least desirable scored 0.
Results: 47% faculty and 52% students participated. Majority were in favor of journal clubs being held. 90% agreed that journal clubs increase self confidence in delivering talks. 92% wanted both the faculty and students to present journal club, the duration of which should not be more than one hour and not more than 3 articles are presented. Majority felt department work load did not hinder journal club participation. Giving copies of articles being presented before hand, elaboration of materials and methods and increased involvement of faculty were suggested. Workshop emphasizing role of journal club has lead to an apparent increase in attendance.
Conclusions: Faculty and residents had a positive attitude towards journal club. Possibly decreased perceived importance of journal club and lack of push by motivated faculty led to decreased participation.
This study examined the experiences of 30 radiography and radiotherapy students in the UK who identified as carers. Data was collected through questionnaires completed by 215 students and focus groups with 18 carer students. Key findings included that carer students chose their programs based on location and financial considerations. They found timetabling, especially clinical placements, challenging due to childcare responsibilities. Carer students felt supported by peers but isolated from the wider university community. Absence rates for carer students were found to be lower than non-carers. Recommendations focused on increasing awareness of support available, engaging carers early, and designing flexible programs and policies.

However, some suggested changing the schedule or not taking study period. In conclusion, the study period was generally perceived as beneficial by the high school students.
A study surveyed Rutgers students about stress levels and exercise habits. 85% reported daily stress primarily from academics. Only 40% exercised weekly. Two surveys found 64% did not exercise due to lack of time, but 77% would find 15 minutes daily. The study aimed to create high-intensity interval training videos under 15 minutes to help stressed students incorporate exercise. However, video creation was not completed due to time constraints. Further research is needed to understand how short high-intensity exercise can specifically benefit stressed students.
This document discusses the key characteristics of a purpose-driven assessment system. It outlines 7 standards that define such a system: 1) Assessments have clearly defined purposes and are valid, 2) Teachers are trained to administer assessments properly, 3) Results are aligned to audience needs, 4) Redundant assessments are eliminated, 5) Timely results are delivered, 6) Metrics encourage focus on all learners, and 7) The program contributes to transparency and objectivity with a long-term focus. It provides examples and data to illustrate each standard and argues that a purpose-driven approach is better than a compliance-based model that is constantly changing.

The results showed that both groups had similar study methods and times. However, the experimental group attended class less frequently, with 54% attending nearly every class compared to 74% of the control group. While poor performance was assumed to be from lack of studying, the study found underlying causes may be related to class format and learning styles not being addressed for struggling students.
Haven Requirement & Sexual Assault Education Assessment Alexandra Kirchick
The purpose of this research was to evaluate whether or not the Cal Poly Dean of Students use of Haven, an online sexual assault learning module, is an effective tool to educate students on the topic of sexual assault. From our data, we discovered that while sexual assault is viewed as a true and serious threat in San Luis Obispo, very few respondents found value in the online course, Haven. Through both quantitative and qualitative research, the research team concluded that Cal Poly Dean of Student must find new ways to inform students about this topic. From our semi structured interviews, we gathered that students would be interested in choosing from a variety of classes to learn about sexual assault. Some suggestions for courses that could be provided include but are not limited to: a self defense class, an independent research project, and/or a group research project. By providing a number of ways to learn, it is likely that students will be more motivated by and interested in sexual assault.
Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
