Orientation aims to help users feel comfortable in the library and be able to independently find information. It can take informal, formal, or online forms. The library worker's role is to communicate clearly and be friendly, patient, and experienced in helping users. The goals of orientation are to ensure users can adequately use resources, feel confident in the library, and become skilled at finding information.

Financial Management in Libraries

Philippine Association of Academic/Research Librarians

Library automation refers to the application of computers and related technologies to perform traditional library operations such as acquisition, cataloguing, circulation, serials control and reference services. The key objectives of library automation are to improve control over collections, provide effective access to resources and share resources among libraries. Some advantages include increased efficiency of operations, improved access to information and ability to share resources. Challenges include initial costs, need for training staff and keeping systems up to date with new technologies. Current trends in library automation include web-based library management systems, mobile technologies and cloud computing.

SLSH ppt

Kumar Gpt

The document discusses the Sears List of Subject Headings (SLSH), a controlled vocabulary used for subject cataloging in small to medium sized libraries. It provides an overview of the history and purpose of SLSH, describes some of its key features like new subject headings added in the 21st edition, and outlines its underlying principles of direct, specific, and consistent subject entries based on common usage. The structure of SLSH is also briefly explained as an alphabetical list of subject terms for the entire range of knowledge.

Indexing language concept types and characteristics

Dr. Utpal Das

This document discusses subject indexing languages. It defines subject indexing language as a set of controlled vocabulary terms and their relationships that are used to describe the concepts in documents. There are three main types of indexing languages: natural language, which uses terms directly from the document; controlled vocabulary, which uses standardized terms from an authority list; and free indexing language, which uses any terms. The key aspects of subject indexing languages are that they allow concepts from documents to be represented in a structured way to facilitate information retrieval.

What are Information Services?

Johan Koren

This document discusses information services and reference services provided by libraries. It defines information services as any service intended to provide information for a user or assist a user in finding information. It describes how libraries traditionally provide reference services, which aim to meet users' information needs by answering questions, instructing users, and directing them to resources.

Different types of reference interviews and questions are outlined. The document also discusses challenges like miscommunications that can occur in reference interviews and how to properly structure an interview.

Budgeting

Pichano Kikon

A library budget is an estimate of expected income and expenditure for the coming year, usually done on a yearly basis. The librarian submits budget estimates based on past experience, present demands, and future needs. Budgeting has several objectives like predicting future costs and needs, coordinating department efforts, and facilitating control over funds. The budget can be affected by factors like the library size, location, services, users, and costs. Several budgeting techniques are described like line-item, lump sum, formula, performance, program, PPBS, zero-based, and strategic budgeting

ORGANIZATION OF INFORMATION RESOURCES

LILIBETHBAJOYO

The document discusses the organization and cataloging of information resources in a library. It defines a library catalog as a list of materials in a collection that provides bibliographic information and location data to help users find and access items. The purposes of a catalog are to allow users to retrieve materials by author, title, subject, and other access points and to determine what a library holds. Cataloging involves descriptive cataloging to describe items and assign access points, as well as subject cataloging to determine subject headings.

Marc format

Ime Amor Mortel

MARC (Machine Readable Cataloging) is an international standard format for bibliographic data. It allows catalog records to be shared and processed by different library systems. The MARC standard ensures compatibility and enables efficient management of catalog records across libraries. Some key aspects include standardized field and tag definitions, a predictable record structure, and established formats like MARC21 that are used internationally. Common errors to avoid include incorrect field codes and indicators, typographical mistakes, failure to follow punctuation conventions, and not accounting for how one's library system handles specific MARC fields.

Collection development by Muhammad Tufail Khan & Aneela Zahid

Muhammad Tufail Khan

Collection development is the process of systematically building library collections to meet user needs. It involves assessing user needs, evaluating existing collections, determining selection policies, coordinating item selection, and re-evaluating collections. The main activities include developing collection development policies, managing budgets, selecting appropriate materials in various formats, and acquiring materials through various modes like purchase, gifts, or exchanges. Effective collection development is important for tailoring acquisitions to available funds and enriching library collections to address the issues of information explosion. It remains a continuous cycle as long as the library exists with the basic focus on meeting the information needs of its community.

It discusses the key elements and areas of a bibliographic record, including: 1) The title and statement of responsibility area, which includes the title proper, parallel titles, other title information, and statements of responsibility. 2) Additional areas like edition, publication details, physical description, and notes. 3) The use of punctuation and layout conventions to distinguish between these different elements according to cataloging rules. The goal is to uniquely identify and describe items so they can be found by library users.

Information Seeking & Reference Services

laurenshopp

The document discusses information seeking behaviors and reference services. It explains that when an individual needs information, they experience an information need, seek information to address that need, and exhibit information behaviors in how they seek information. It also discusses how people tend to exert the least amount of effort when seeking information according to Zipf's Principle of Least Effort. The document then covers the objectives and tools of reference services, both historically and presently.

Post coordinate indexing .. Library and information science

harshaec

This document discusses post-coordinate indexing and uniterm indexing. Post-coordinate indexing allows searchers to freely combine terms at search time, which can increase recall but decrease precision. Uniterm indexing involves analyzing documents into individual concepts represented as single terms. These terms are recorded on cards divided into numbered columns, and searching involves finding common numbers across cards to retrieve documents. While flexible, post-coordinate and uniterm indexing can be time-consuming and lack context.

International federation of library associations and institutions

Zainuddin Ibrahim

IFLA is a leading international body that represents libraries and promotes cooperation between information services worldwide. It aims to provide librarians with forums for sharing ideas and furthering library activities through international programs and standards. Some of IFLA's core programs include Universal Bibliographic Control, which develops international bibliographic standards, and Action for Development through Libraries, which supports libraries in developing countries.

Collection development

Dheeraj Negi

The document discusses guidelines for developing an electronic resources collection policy. It addresses challenges in acquiring electronic resources, such as access, interfaces, technical support and licensing. The purpose of the policy is to provide guidelines for selecting appropriate electronic resources and establish consistency in managing this part of the library's collection. Selection criteria address formats, access, user-friendliness, costs, vendors, technical considerations, licensing agreements and pricing. Resources may be cancelled based on low usage, duplication of content, or failure to meet user needs or budget constraints. The role of libraries is to provide access to electronic information through digital networks and adopt multimedia technologies.
