Эффективность избирательного распространения информации в системе информационно-коммуникационного обеспечения науки в вузе (опыт Научной библиотеки НГУЭУ)

The author discusses the experience of the center for Information and Bibliographical Support of Learning and Science of the Scientific Library of Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management in the methodology of selective information dissemination. The author examines the relevance of the method as applied in modern academic libraries and its efficiency for information and bibliographic  support, as well as for information and communication support of university science. She also emphasizes the significance of stable communications within a university, and proves the necessity for improving the relevance of information provided through selective information dissemination system using not only feedback sheets but also through face-to-face communication. The concept of selective information dissemination is analyzed. The origins of the method are discussed. The author examines the target users to be acquired by the system and suggests that new relevant information and bibliographic products are needed. She concludes that today the system of selective information dissemination is an effective and demanded one. It is important for increasing the university’s reputation capital and user service performance of the scientific library. Проанализирован опыт работы Центра информационно-библиографического обеспечения учебно-научной работы Научной библиотеки Новосибирского государственного университета экономики и управления по методике избирательного распространения информации. Поставлен вопрос о применимости ИРИ в современных вузовских библиотеках и эффективности этого метода в организации информационно-библиографического обслуживания. Рассмотрена эффективность ИРИ в системе информационно-комму­ни­кационного обеспечения науки в университете. Подчеркнута важность развития устойчивых коммуникаций внутри вуза. Сделан акцент на необходимости повышать уровень релевантности предоставляемой информации в процессе обслуживания абонентов по методике ИРИ не только при помощи талонов обратной связи, но и посредством живого общения. Проанализировано содержание понятия «ИРИ». Кратко освещена история развития ИРИ. Обращено внимание на выбор адресной аудитории при привлечении абонентов к ИРИ. Отмечено, что в процессе работы по этой методике возможен выход на новые актуальные продукты информационно-библиографической деятельности. Сделан вывод: ИРИ в настоящее время результативно и востребовано. Подчеркнуто значение методики в повышении репутационного капитала университета и эффективности сервисного обслуживания пользователей научной библиотеки

The Use of Academic Library Resources and Services by Undergraduate in Ibadan North Local Government of Nigeria

Libraries provide resources for knowledge acquisition, recreation, personal interests and inter-personal relationships for all categories of users. It enables the individual to obtain spiritual, inspirational, and recreational activities through reading, and therefore the opportunity of interacting with the society’s wealth and accumulated knowledge. This study examined the undergraduate students’ use of University library services and resources. It was affirmed the undergraduate utilized the University Libraries as learning centre. This was shown by the massive turn out to patronize the library services and resources weekly

Care: an integrated framework to support continuous, adaptable, reflective evaluation of eGovernment systems: A research note

CARE: an Integrated Framework to Support Continuous, Adaptable, Reflective Evaluation of Egovernment SystemsThis is an eGISE network paper. It is motivated by a concern to develop a better approach to learning from the experience of an eGovernment project and applying that knowledge in future projects. The proposed project is based on previous work in the construction industry that developed COLA, a Cross Organisational Learning Approach. Developing a similar strategy for Knowledge Management is likely to be effective because the ‘silo’ culture of local government organisations has parallels with the segmented organisational structures within the construction industry.Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) UK (grant GR/T27020/01

Content enrichment through dynamic annotation

This paper describes a technique for interceding between users and the information that they browse. This facility, that we term 'dynamic annotation', affords a means of editing Web page content 'on-the-fly' between the source Web server and the requesting client. Thereby, we have a generic way of modifying the content displayed to local users by addition, removal or reorganising any information sourced from the World-Wide Web, whether this derives from local or remote pages. For some time, we have been exploring the scope for this device and we believe that it affords many potential worthwhile applications. Here, we describe two varieties of use. The first variety focuses on support for individual users in two contexts (second-language support and second language learning). The second variety of use focuses on support for groups of users. These differing applications have a common goal which is content enrichment of the materials placed before the user. Dynamic annotation provides a potent and flexible means to this end

eBank UK: linking research data, scholarly communication and learning

This paper includes an overview of the changing landscape of scholarly communication and describes outcomes from the innovative eBank UK project, which seeks to build links from e-research through to e-learning. As introduction, the scholarly knowledge cycle is described and the role of digital repositories and aggregator services in linking data-sets from Grid-enabled projects to e-prints through to peer-reviewed articles as resources in portals and Learning Management Systems, are assessed. The development outcomes from the eBank UK project are presented including the distributed information architecture, requirements for common ontologies, data models, metadata schema, open linking technologies, provenance and workflows. Some emerging challenges for the future are presented in conclusion
