CATEGORIES OF USERS & THEIR NEEDS (IN CONTEXT OF LIBRARY)
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.

David campany photography and cinema reaktion books exposures 2008
Photography and cinema have a complex relationship that began with their first meeting in 1895 when the Lumiere brothers filmed photographers reacting to their new invention. While photography and film share technical similarities in capturing optical images, they differ in their relationships to time, framing, and objecthood. Throughout their histories, definitions of photography have relied on comparisons to other mediums like painting, literature, and cinema. Early attempts to define the relationship, like the 1929 Film und Foto exhibition, highlighted photography's influence on avant-garde film while also showing the challenges of fully uniting the mediums. The functions and social uses of both photography and film have profoundly shaped their artistic and technical developments over time.

Rainwater harvesting is a method of collecting and storing rainwater runoff from rooftops in underground tanks or reservoirs. It has several advantages, including providing an independent water supply, reducing flooding, and replenishing groundwater. The key components of a rainwater harvesting system are the roof catchment area, gutters, downpipes, a filtration system, and a storage tank. Proper installation and maintenance can provide a low-cost source of non-potable water for households and help conserve fresh water resources.

Digital library literature nabi hasan and mukhtiar singh at ICDL-2013
The paper attempts to evaluate the trend of world literature on “digital library” in terms of the output of research publications as indexed in the Science Citation Index during the period from 2003 to 2012. A total of 1733 papers were indexed on “digital library” in the database during the 10 year study period. The average number of papers published per year was 173.30. The highest number of papers, i.e. 15.41% were published in the year 2007. A total of 70 counties were involved in contributing publications and United States contributed highest to the tune of 38.60% and India was at eighth position with 2.25% publications. Most productive institution was University of California, which contributed a total of 2.83% publications. Proceeding papers amounted to 70.28% of the literature on digital library. Lecture Notes in Computer Science with 20.89% and English language with 98.50% publications were at the top. Highest foreign collaborations in 24.66% publications reported in papers from UK. The study may help policy makers to look into the trends and make effective policies related to digital libraries on the basis of inferences drawn from the analysis.

The document discusses institutional repositories and their role in managing and disseminating digital materials created by academic institutions and their communities. It provides definitions of institutional repositories by Clifford Lynch, describing them as services offered by universities to manage and distribute digital materials created by the institution and its members with a commitment to long-term preservation. Institutional repositories are centered around academic institutions and contain scholarly works of varying degrees produced by that institution. They aim to maximize access to and preservation of an institution's research outputs.
Discovery event stuart lee (the humanities researcher)
The document discusses the challenges faced by humanities researchers in the digital age. It outlines four phases of research: project planning, data creation, storage and retrieval, and safeguarding knowledge. Researchers now have opportunities to access and analyze large quantities of data from different sources using new tools. However, challenges remain around lack of standardization, technical skills and long-term sustainability. The document calls for training researchers in data management, promoting open data and metadata, providing better analysis tools, and rethinking how research is disseminated and preserved for the long term.
Drexel Elearning(Final)
Using Web 2.0 Applications as Information Awareness Tools
The past few years have seen several new technological initiatives at Drexel University in interdisciplinary fields such as Nanomedicine, Engineering Cities, Drug Delivery, Plasma Medicine, Nanoscale Science and Technology, Microfluidics, and Bionanotechnology. These technological initiatives require faculty and students to work together in groups in a collaborative fashion. This has motivated librarians to experiment with new ways of reaching out to faculty and students. Drexel's emphasis on team based engineering design projects requires students to develop critical understanding of engineering subject areas. Developing awareness about the core electronic resources such as IEEE Xplore, Knovel, Web of Knowledge, Science Direct and Engineering Village is crucial in successfully undergoing research and completing assignments in their classes.
This presentation outlines innovative experiments using web 2.0 applications to increase information among faculty and students. Several web 2.0 tools such as Facebook, Friendfeed, Del.icio.us, Google Reader, Wikis, and blogs will be covered. Having engineering librarian's presence on Facebook is useful since many of the students are heavy Facebook users. Drexel's student Organizations such as IEEE and ASME are also on Facebook. Moreover, Drexel University's College of Engineering has recently launched its Facebook page where activities celebrating National Engineering Week have been quickly promoted among student. Drexel Engineering Information Awareness Campaign Group is a librarian-created Facebook group aimed at increasing awareness of new and existing resources among faculty and students. Feeds from Google Reader can be made automatically available on Facebook pages. For this to happen, a user needs to become ‘a friend’ with the engineering librarian on Facebook.
As faculty and students become more aware of new and existing information tools, the information skills learned during the process of exploring these resources will contribute to life-long learning among the engineering students.
Iceri, 2009
The document summarizes efforts by the library director at Saint Xavier University to improve student research skills and engagement with the campus community through the use of new online tools. The library started using tutorials, social media like Twitter and Facebook, and a new search tool called WorldCat Local to make the research process easier for students and facilitate communication. Initial feedback indicates these new methods have been successful in helping students and engaging faculty, though the library will continue assessing their impact over time.
Information Literacy meets Library 2.0: introduction
The document discusses how libraries are adopting and responding to Web 2.0 technologies and principles like social networking, tagging, and user-generated content. It provides examples of libraries using blogs, RSS feeds, social bookmarking, tagging in catalogs, and evaluations of sites like Delicious and social networking. It also discusses challenges of staff development and the role of libraries in social networking platforms, as well as ways these tools can support information literacy goals like reflection, sharing, and critical thinking.
Research Students2009

The changing nature of scholarly communication - What does this mean for rese...Research Information Network
The document discusses the changing nature of scholarly communication and how researchers are publishing and disseminating their work. It notes that factors like increased research funding, technological advances, and policy changes are influencing researcher behaviors and practices. Researchers are now using more electronic and open access publishing as well as social media and web 2.0 tools to disseminate their work. The document recommends that libraries support these changes by maintaining access to electronic content, providing training and guidance on communication channels and tools, and helping set standards for curation and preservation of scholarly outputs.Using lib guides to put the focus on quality
LibGuides are library research guides created by librarians that provide curated resources for research. They include search tools, tutorials, videos and other media. Guides are created for courses, subjects, and programs. The university has over 66 guides with over 1,400 views in the last term. Guides benefit students by increasing library use, providing easy access to resources, and improving awareness of research tools. Librarians work with faculty to tailor guides to specific classes and assignments.

Institutional Repositories
An institutional repository is a digital archive of intellectual works created by a university's faculty, researchers, and students. It provides open access to works with few barriers. Content includes pre-prints, reports, theses, audio/visual materials. Benefits include increased visibility, centralized storage, and long-term preservation of the institution's academic output. Challenges include costs, difficulties generating content, and rights management issues.
Digital Commons Institutional Repository: Roles for Library Liaisons
The document discusses plans to launch an institutional repository (IR) called DigiNole Commons at Florida State University to promote open access of scholarly works. A task force was established to raise faculty awareness of open access. The IR will use Digital Commons software and be managed by a library implementation team. It will contain works like faculty research, teaching materials, theses/dissertations, and department publications. The goals are to increase visibility of FSU research and save costs. Library liaisons will promote the IR and help faculty contribute works.
Scholarship in the digital age
The document discusses challenges and opportunities of digital scholarship in the digital age. It provides an overview of the evolving academic research cycle and various digital tools that can be used at different stages of research, including social networking, bookmarking, blogging, collaboration tools, and project management tools. It also discusses the concepts of digital literacy and digital scholarship, which involve the ability to participate in emerging academic practices that depend on digital systems and technologies. The document outlines three workshop topics for discussion around how digital communication can help or hinder scholarly activity, how digital approaches can impact other areas like teaching and administration, and new skills needed by digitally literate researchers.
Follet Transition to Learning Commons

It outlines changes to the library's space, services, staffing, and priorities to better serve students and faculty in the digital age. Assessment data shows increased student and faculty engagement at the learning commons compared to the previous library model.
Researchingresearchers
The document discusses developing an online research support resource for researchers at a university library. User needs analysis found that researchers wanted a bank of easily accessible information to support the whole research process, but did not want an interactive tutorial. The initial vision was revised to create a resource for researchers to develop research skills and raise awareness of library resources. Feedback noted the navigation was overwhelming and information presentation could better balance sophistication and efficiency. Researchers want to quickly access specific needed information due to time constraints.
gmac2011
The document summarizes a 2011 leadership conference presentation on emerging technologies and their role in learning. It discusses trends like increased access to resources online, expectations for collaborative and mobile work, and cloud-based technologies.
