Tips of Maintaining Health by Dr Ranjith 

Session II-New Trends in Library and Information Science-Dr Neeraj Singh , Deputy Librarian ,

Punjab university 

Some of the emerging trends/ technologies in LIS

• Web 2.0/Web 3.0 • Social Media and its applications in Libraries • Electronic Resource Management: Resource Discovery System • Virtual Reference Service • Institutional Repositories • Big data and open data, • Altmetrics, bibliometrics, cybermetrics, scientometrics, webometrics • Cloud Computing • M libraries/ QR Codes • Blended learning /MOOCS/Coursera • The Internet of Things 

Web 1.0-Slow access speeds (dial-up modem)-Limited availability-Static Web pages unchanged / constant-Little interactivity-Mostly text-One type of web browser-Read only web

 Web 2.0 -Fast Access Speed (Broadband)-Wide Availability (Wireless)-Dynamic Web pages-High interactivity-Lost of Multimedia-Choice of web browsers-Websites on different devices-

Read Write Web

Web 2.0-People’s Participation (You and Me !)-Personalization-Collective Intelligence-Open Standards, Open Software-Berners Lee’s original vision for WWW “Internet truly accessible and useful to people”-Popularized by Tom O’ Reilly.

Web 2.0 • The term “Web 2.0” was coined by O’Reilly Media at a conference in 2004 • Web 2.0 basically refers to the transition from static HTML Web pages to a more dynamic Web that is more organized and is based on serving Web applications to users. • Blogs, Wikis, and Web services are all seen as components of Web 2.0.

Web 1.0 / Web 2.0 • Web 1.0 was about connecting computers – dial-up → ISDN → broadband → wireless • Web 2.0 is about connecting people – instant messaging & chatrooms – Skype & VoIP – social networking sites – virtual words (Second Life, Club Penguin, etc) – communities of common interest – micro blogging (Twitter, etc) 

Web3.0-The predicted third generation of the World Wide Web-It will be about the meaning of data, personalization, intelligent search.-

personalization of content -igoogle , netvibes

portable personal web-focused on individual streaming - consolidate dynamic content -semantic web widgets -drag a& drop mash ups -user behavior me -onomy -iGoogle,NetVibes -User engagement advertisement

Web 3.0 -Semantic Web of Meaning of data personlization (eg: iGoogle )-Intelligent search & behavioral advertising in other things 

Trends for Web 3.0-The Semantic Web  The 3D Web  The Media-Centric Web  The Pervasive Web

Semantic Web Intelligent System Planning

The semantic web is a vision of information that can be readily interpreted by machines, so machines can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, combining, and acting upon information on the web. 

Web 3.0 will call up a complete vacation package that was planned as meticulously as if it had been assembled by a human travel agent

The 3D Web-A Web you can walk through-Without leaving your desk, you can go house hunting across town or take a tour of Europe. •You can even walk through a Second Life-style virtual world, surfing for data and interacting with others in 3D.

The Media-Centric Web-A Web where you can find media using other media-not just keywords..You supply, say, a photo of your favorite painting and your search engines turn up hundreds of similar paintings.

The Pervasive Web-A Web that's everywhere. On your PC. On your cell phone. On your clothes and jewelry. Spread throughout your home and office. • Even your bedroom windows are online, checking the weather, so they know when to open and close.

What is Cloud Computing 

• Cloud Computing refers to the use of computing resources (hardware and/or software) that reside on a remote machine and are delivered to the end user as a service over the Internet. 

• Cloud computing is both a trend and a technology to deliver software and hardware as a service, not as a product. 

• It involves a centralized data center, virtual server space, and secure transfer of data over the internet. • More and more vendors host applications on their end and customers access those applications using the internet as a communication channel".

Can Use • QR Code Link to e-Contents • Linking to the online surveys • On Library Stacks, Journal Areas that point to online electronic holdings • Linking to Library Audio tour for Orientations • Linking to Library Blog, Websites • Linking to Digital Library • Linking to Library Maps

Open Data What exactly is it? • Open refers to ‘open access’ that implies data must be accessible freely online, available without technical restrictions to re-use and provided under open access license that allows the data to be reused without limitation. • “Open data and content can be freely used, modified, and shared by anyone for any purpose

Types of Open Data • Cultural: Data about cultural works and artefacts • Science: Data that is produced as part of scientific research • Statistics: Data produced by statistical offices such as the census and key socioeconomic indicators. • Weather and environment: Climate and natural environment • Transport: Data such as timetables, routes, on-time statistics. • Education: Open data that comes out of education institutions and that can be exploited/ used by education institutions

Big Data Big data is a term for data sets that are so large or complex that traditional data processing applications are inadequate. Challenges include analysis, capture, data curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualization, querying, updating and information privacy. The term often refers simply to the use of predictive analytics, user behavior analytics, or certain other advanced data analytics methods that extract value from data, and seldom to a particular size of data set. Accuracy in big data may lead to more confident decision making, and better decisions can result in greater operational efficiency, cost reduction and reduced risk

Nodal institution/data collection centres Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR)/National Social Science Documentation Centre (NASSDOC) Social sciences Department of Science and Technology–Department of Biotechnology (DST-DBT)/National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources (NISCAIR) Science and technology, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Science and technology Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Science and industrial research Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Agriculture and related studies Defence Scientific Information and Documentation Centre (DESIDOC) Defence sciences Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) Information and communication technolog

Webometrics-Also called cybermetrics is a relatively new information discipline that aims to quantitatively measure web phenomena. Webometric techniques include link analysis, web mention analysis, blog analysis and search engine evaluation, but from the perspective of digital library evaluation the main method is link analysis

Bibliometrics & scientometrics Bibliometrics and Scientometrics are two closely-related fields that aim to measure scientific publications and science in general. A lot of the research that falls under this topic involves citation analysis, or examining how scholars cite one another in publications. Author citation data can show a lot about scholar networks and scholarly communication, linkages between scholars, and the development of areas of knowledge over time.

Altmetrics-Altmetrics, or “alternative metrics,” are an emerging field of new methods for measuring the use and importance of scholarly articles, particularly in the sciences. As opposed to more traditional bibliometrics, such as Impact Factor, altmetrics provide article-level data and are based on new electronic sources of information, such as number of downloads and page views from a publisher, repository or online reference manager like Mendeley, or the amount of discussion generated in online venues such as Twitter or blogs, academic Social Networking Sites

Altmetrics Tool • Altmetric.com • Plum Analytics • Publish or Perish • Public Library of Science (PLoS)

Internet of Things The Internet of Things (IoT) is a computing concept that describes a future where everyday physical objects will be connected to the Internet and be able to identify themselves to other devices. The term is closely identified with RFID as the method of communication, although it also may include other sensor technologies, wireless technologies or QR codes. A thing, in the Internet of Things, can be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a biochip transponder, an automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is low -- or any other natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP address and provided with the ability to transfer data over a network. Internet of Things andLibrary Internet of Things and Libraries • 

Access to library and its resources: library mobile app with map of the library • RFID circulation management, overdue reminder, Smart Shelves • Information Literacy: Self Guided Virtual tour of the library, when user visit particular section it will play video or audio • Location Based Services: status of printer, computer, scanner, discussion rooms etc.

Blended learning Blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through delivery of content and instruction via digital and online media with some element of student control over time, place, path, or pace. The “flipped” classroom, refers to classes that are structured almost exclusively around a reversal of expectations for lectures and homework. Students are expected to watch lectures online at home, and do homework while they are in class.
