This document discusses different categories of library users and their information needs. It describes various frameworks for categorizing users, such as by their level of experience (fresher, ordinary reader, specialist), purpose of visit (general reader, subject reader, special reader), and level of engagement (potential user, expected user, actual user, beneficiary user). Example user groups mentioned include students, teachers, researchers, professionals, and policymakers. Characteristics of users like demographic data, social status, education level, and work details are also outlined. Finally, the document identifies two main types of information needs - for current awareness and ad hoc purposes - and a four-part framework involving current, everyday, exhaustive, and catching up approaches.

A comparative analysis of library classification systemsAli Hassan Maken
We use classification each & every moment of the life by intentionally or unintentionally. Classification has always been the backbone of all Library operations and without it, library is definitely going to suffer in its recourse and to find a particular piece of information from unorganized heap of knowledge is almost impossible. The library classification is core instrument for organizing and retrieval of the documents stored in a library. At present era they are the navigation tools for locating and retrieving documents in more precisely and relevantly. The electronic versions of the DDC and UDC and other classification schemes make it possible to realize the potential of library classification to improve subject retrieval.

Transitioning from an Academic Library to a Public LibraryAriel Hess
Switching from an academic library to a public library is a challenging transition due to the contrasting environments. The dynamics of the users in each entity are similar in the instance of the need for information but different in the request. There is a list of elements that I noticed during my transition from an academic library to a public library. I transition from a reference librarian position serving mostly adults to a youth services librarian position serving ages 0 to 18.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
4. INTRODUCTION
• A user is an important component in a library and information system
along with documents and library staff. Right information to the right user
at the right time in right format is regarded as highly essential as the
philosophy of librarianship. But it has been observed that the user has
usually been neglected and removed at the margins by none other than
the service providers, the librarians. The librarians have always focused
more on the other elements (document acquisition, its processing, etc)
other than the user, the nerve centre of the library.
5. Categories of Users
Users and its terms used:
•Client
has a connotation of professional relationship
•Patron
mostly used in American library management system, now it is
used other countries also
•Reader
visits the premises of library for reading books, journals, and
other material of his/her interest
•Customer
•Inquirer
•Member
•User
6. Categories of Users
User: A person who is a member of library and he uses the library
Non-user: A person who is a member of library but may not use the
library
A user is thus referred to as a person who needs information which can be
provided by specific library services
A user is also the one who is known to have the intention of using certain
information services from the library
According to Kenneth Whittaker, a user may be defined as a person who
uses one or more library services at least once a year
7. Why users visit to library
oTo browse through a collection of the latest arrivals
in the library, current journals, and similar other
documents;
• To seek a particular document for consultation or study
in the library or borrow the same;
• To obtain the current references on a specific topic or
bibliography of references over a period;
• To obtain factual information on a topic, event, activity,
etc. through reference sources;
• To obtain a photocopy of a journal article, a conference
paper or a technical report; and so on.
8. Categories of users
• Dr. S.R. Ranganathan categorizes users as follow:
• The Fresher:- The fresher, or the freshman, is the new
member of the library.
• Ordinary Reader:-He/she is an ordinary person with
demand for ordinary books, and ordinary services from the
library.
• Specialist Reader:-: A specialist user is one who specializes
in a narrow field of a subject. His demand for books will
also be specific and research oriented.
• General Reader:-This is an assorted group of users which is
not included in any of the above user groups.
9. Categories of users
Whittaker categorizes users as follow:
•General Readers: concentrates on the use of light reading
materials available in the Library
•Subject Readers: concentrates on the use of library materials
available on a subject field of their interest
•Special Readers: having special information needs,
need some special library services
E.g. Visually impaired users
•Non-Reading Users: who make use of library materials, but not
reading materials
E.g. coming into the library just to borrow a video or audio
cassette
10. Categories of users
According to Werner Kunz, users are categorized as follow:
•Potential User:
needs information but may not be able to express information
requirements properly
• Expected User:
to have the intention of using certain information services
• Actual User:
has actually used an information service regardless of whether
he/she has derived any advantage from it or not
•Beneficiary User:
derives a measurable advantage from the information services
provided by the library
12. User according to various libraries
•Students
Schools, colleges, universities> students at schools, under-grauate, post-
graduate, M.Phil and PhD scholars
• Research Students: M.Phil, PhD
• Teachers:
• Scientists: academicians, involved in R&D activities
• Professionals: Lawyer, judges, doctors, engineers
Policy makers: policy makers, planners, decision-makers, business
managers, executives in government and non-government organizations,
industrialists, small entrepreneurs etc
• Intermediaries and communicators: working at grass root level at rural to
address problems at higher level. E.g. NGOs
• Visiting scholars: from other colleges, universities and higher learning
institutions
• Administrative staff: supporting staff at college, university, institutions
• Public figures Elected by Electorates: Councilors, legislators etc
13. Characteristics of users
• Individual characteristics
a. Demographic data: variables such as age, sex, nationality
b. Social Status Data: income and economic aspects; status in a
group; values; cultural traits; opinion leadership; cosmopolitanism; etc
c. Psychological Data: behavioral traits and patterns; personality;
intelligence; mental ability and conceptual skills; decision-making patterns; etc.
d. Educational Data: level and subject of education; knowledge or
skills in given topics; language proficiency in given subjects; etc.
e. General Work Data:It includes place, type and subject of work;
position; responsibilities and authority; work times, habits, requirements;
etc.

15. • 4.1. Types of Information Needs Information needs refer to individual needs of users regarding
information which vary according to their subject requirements, but should be satisfied by the
specific information needed by them. Broadly speaking, there could possibly be two types of
information needs: i. One relates to current awareness type of information which the users require
in their respective fields of specialization or study interest. ii. The other is ad hoc need information
which is required to satisfy a specific purpose. On the other hand, B. Guha has identified four types
of information needs with as many approaches. These are as follows: 1. Current approach, in which
users require current information to keep themselves abreast of the nascent developments in the
field of their specialization/ interest. 2. Everyday approach, in which users seek some specific piece
of information, say, in the form of facts required in the day to day investigation. 3. Exhaustive
approach, in which information is sought when a user/ researcher wants to have a comprehensive
detailed information about a specific topic on the field of study. 4. Catching up or brushing up
approach, in which a user requires information pertaining to related subject fields to catch up with
the latest developments in the subject in which he/ she is not an expert.
