New interaction tools such as internet allow companies to gain valuable input from research and development (R\&D) engineers via virtual teams. Consequently, engineers also get more expertise in diminutive time frames. Virtual R\&D teams present the key impetus to the technology acquisition process. The present knowledge-economy era is characterized by short product life-cycles. Virtual R&D teams may reduce time-to-market, make available a large pool of new product know-how and provide greater flexibilities, which are the key success factors in a competitive market. This comprehensive review contains almost 100 references and covers the recent literature with emphasis on the topic. The review has focused on authentic and reputed publications and extracts the results. This article presents the type of virtual teams and their main features and explains how virtual R&D team can play a prominent role in developing new products. The article is evolved future study guideline and also illustrates how to apply virtual interaction tools and integrate engineers into the innovation process. Management of virtual R&D teams in new product development (NPD) processes in an innovative, effective and efficient is of a high importance, but the issue has been poorly addressed in the previous studies. Findings show that virtual R&D team provides valuable input for new product development and R&D engineers are able to attain virtual experience

Virtual R & D teams in small and medium enterprises: A literature review

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the driving engine behind economic growth. While SMEs play a critical role in generating employment and supporting trade, they face numerous challenges, the prominent among them are the need to respond to fasting time-to-market, low-cost and rapid solutions to complex organizational problems. Towards that end, research and development (R & D) aspect deserves particular attention to promote and facilitate the operations of SMEs. Virtual R & D team could be a viable option. However, literature shows that virtual R & D teaming in SMEs is still at its infancy. This article provides a comprehensive literature review on different aspects of virtual R & D teams collected from the reputed publications. The purpose of the state-of-the-art literature review is to provide an overview on the structure and dynamics of R & D collaboration in SMEs. Specifying the foundation and importance of virtual teams, the relationship between virtual R & D team and SMEs has been examined. It concludes with the identification of the gaps in the existing literature's and calls for future research. It is argued that setting-up an infrastructure for virtual R & D team in SMEs still requires a large amount of engineering efforts and deserves consideration at top level management.Virtual teams, small and medium enterprises, literature review

LITERATION CULTURE OF STUDENT LITERATURE IN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 4.0

literacy culture plays an important role in the development of a learning society that lives in the global era or is called the current century of creative-innovative knowledge. The history of human civilization proves that a great nation whose people have a high literacy culture. Literacy culture is hampered by the not yet forming mentality of students' reading and writing culture. Literacy culture must be instilled early in students to ingrained for the sake of achieving a superior generation, quality, and have a strong mind and character to face global challenges. Global developments in various scientific disciplines that are felt now certainly must be recognized by all parties, especially in the school environment. The school environment must make literacy culture the first and foremost door to build the progress of human civilization, society, and the Indonesian people. The mastery of literacy culture for these civilizations is important and should receive serious attention to make their lives more developed/modern, meaningful, and advanced both personally, socially, spiritually, and culturally. One of the ways to achieve and make students mentality is literacy culture is through literature. Literature becomes a creative work that has a distinctive or unique style in the use of its language. Literary creative works record a variety of phenomena in the social life of both real and fictitious ones that instill educational values. Through these various advantages, literary works must be used as an effective stimulus to foster a culture of student literacy. Therefore, literature must be used as the basis for the first and foremost doorstep for the achievement of a superior generation of cultural literacy mentality

Spatial Politics and Literacy: An Analysis of Little Free Libraries and Neighborhood Distribution of Book-Sharing Depositories in Portland, Oregon and Detroit, Michigan

The purpose of this research is to interrogate whether Free Little Libraries (LFL), the largest branded book-sharing movement in the world, continues to uphold its currently stated mission to provide book access to communities where book accessibility is low (determined by how many estimated books are in each household). Though the Little Free Library nonprofit has flourished in the decade since it was founded, indicating a fondness and appreciation for the Little Library as an idea and neighborhood ornament alike, critics of the organization have raised multiple concerns about whether the library boxes provide service to those who need them. There is a not uncommon perception that LFL boxes are congregated around affluent neighborhoods, often white, where book scarcity isn’t a problem at all, potentially leaving behind the communities that could most benefit from their presence. In response, this paper seeks to explore and compare the presence of LFLs in two cities: Portland Oregon, a city well-known for its strong literary community, and Detroit, Michigan, a well-documented book desert. In Detroit, where there is only a total of 48 LFL boxes, nearly 20% were located in the waterfront municipalities that represent the southern Grosse Pointes; in Portland, where the population is 77% white and mostly affluent, there are nearly four times as many library boxes as there are in Detroit, despite both cities having a difference in land area of less than 100 square feet, and total population differences of ~30,000 people. Education played a slightly less significant role in the presence of LFLs, with a greater number of libraries appearing proportionately in neighborhoods with higher educations. The findings of this research reaffirm that though most LFL locations align with majority demographics overall, LFL boxes are disproportionately concentrated in white, affluent neighborhoods, even when near book deserts

Keeping Search Configuration Options Open

Modern discovery layers allow for a wide variety of design configurations. One essential consideration when creating a search environment is the complexity of search options available to the end user. This multi-campus study took a big data approach and examined 4 years of data collected from the California State University (CSU) libraries and compared user search query behavior across all libraries. There is a lot of research that suggests reducing cognitive overload results in a better user experience. Understanding how users search is key to designing a library which is more accessible to all. When configuring your library catalog, certain questions must be answered, such as whether to cater to advanced librarian query behavior or adopt a simpler, commercial-style approach. Designing for all users involves considering a diverse userbase with a wide range of abilities, keeping edge cases in mind, and building from proven web design principles.
