Application of Computer Technologies to Circulation Services in University and Research Institute Libraries in North Central Nigeria

The study focused on application of computer technologies to circulation services in university and research institute libraries in North Central, Nigeria. Application of computer technology in this study is the act of using computer, storage devices, computer accessories and internet to improve the slow quality of circulation services.  Descriptive survey was used as design of the study. The study covered 13 university libraries and 19 research institute libraries in North Central, Nigeria. The population of this study was 234 librarians. Sample size for this study was made up of entire population. Research instruments was Questionnaire developed by the researchers titled “Questionnaire on Application of Computer Technologies to Circulation Services in Libraries” (QACTCSIL)...........

AUTOMATIC CREATION OF COMMUNICATION CHANNELS AROUND DETECTED EVENTS

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving user data, the user data including digital content generated by one or more users of one or more computer-implemented services, detecting, based on the user data, an occurrence of an event, identifying a plurality of users associated with the event, generating a communication channel based on the detected event, the communication channel providing a distribution for sending digital content, adding user identifiers to the communication channel, each user identifier being associated with a user of the plurality of users, and distributing digital content associated with the detected event in view of the communication channel. Other implementations of these aspects include corresponding systems, apparatus, and computer programs, configured to perform the actions of the methods, encoded on computer storage devices

Spatial-Structural Relations among Technology Industrial Clusters: A Comparative Analysis of Metropolitan Regions in the U.S

Technical industrial clusters are defined and analyzed for a sample of U.S. metropolitan regions. Economic structure, spatial proximity and shape of the clusters are examined across the metropolitan regions through various economic and spatial measures and statistics. The data for this research are used to test the hypothesis that close spatial proximity results in stronger economic functional interdependence. This hypothesis is examined and the implications of the test are explored.

Decomposing Productivity Growth in the U.S. Computer Industry

In this paper, we examine the sources of the productivity growth in the U.S. computer industry from 1978 to 1999. We estimate a joint production model of output quantity and quality that distinguishes two types of technological changes: process and product innovations. Based on the estimation results, we decompose total factor productivity (TFP) growth rate into the contributions of process and product innovations and scale economies. The results show that product innovation associated with better quality accounts for about 30 percent of the TFP growth in the computer industry. Furthermore, we find that the TFP acceleration in the computer industry in the late 1990s is mainly derived from a rapid increase in product innovation.COMPUTER, PRODUCTIVITY; PROCESS AND PRODUCT INNOVATIONS; HEDONIC PRICE
