...Use of Information Search Techniques and Tools on Web By Prof. A. B. Bhosle* A university, a college or an institution of higher learning is rightly described as community where teachers and scholars are the head, students are the body and the library is it’s heart. If the body is to perform its function properly and efficiently its hearth must be well maintained and strong in its functioning. Thomas Carlyle was not exaggerating when he described a ‘true university as a collection of books’.[1] The library is obviously the source of power of knowledge. In higher education and research, the use of library is a matter of concerns to students, teachers, and researchers. The exponential growth of literature often creates problems for them to access appropriate literature and their use. The problem has, however, considerably been resolved with the help of information and communication technology (ICT). The use of information technology for management and handling of information and data has grown significantly even in many least-developed countries, despite their economic constraints. The use of information technology in libraries has been profoundly affecting all aspects of information acquisition, storage, and transfer. Its magnificent development has dramatically changed the mode of library operations and information services; we have now started to speak of a new type of information source, ‘knowledge base’.[2] Computer-based communications have not only widened...

GSM: 08037022011 Email: umarahim2003@yahoo.com Abstract This paper examines the preponderance of unemployment and the dynamic role Library and Information Science educators and accrediting bodies are expected to play in ensuring that Library and Information Science graduates are well informed and adequately prepared for career opportunities. There are numerous career opportunities for Library and Information Science professionals in the information industry as long as they come up with strategies to reach out to members of the communities. Young graduates are increasingly shouldering the adverse consequences of the lack of economic reforms and the growing inability of the state to create jobs. By initiating, mobilizing and galvanizing their own resources in the quest for improving their standard of living, graduates can avoid the precarious dependence on government for white-collar jobs. The paper highlights how integrating the concept of self reliance into Library and Information Science education can enhance the career opportunities of Library and Information Science graduates. The paper recommends the creation of the Young Entrepreneur Association to empower Library and Information Science students...

...a different or consistent style of citation, footnoting, or external linking. (June 2013) A document is a written or drawn representation of thoughts. Originating from the Latin Documentum meaning lesson - the verb doceō means to teach, and is pronounced similarly, in the past it was usually used as a term for a written proof used as evidence. In the computer age, a document is usually used to describe a primarily textual file, along with its structure and design, such as fonts, colors and additional images. The modern term 'document' can no longer be defined by its transmission medium (such as paper), following the existence of electronic documents. The formal term 'document' is defined in Library and information science and in documentation science, as a basic theoretical construct. It is everything which may be preserved or represented in order to serve as evidence for some purpose. The classical example provided by Suzanne Briet is an antelope: "An antelope running wild on the plains of Africa should not be considered a document, she rules. But if it were to be captured, taken to a zoo and made an object of study, it has been made into a document. It has become physical evidence being used by those who study it. Indeed, scholarly articles written about the antelope are secondary documents, since the antelope itself is the primary document." (Quoted from Buckland, 1998 [1]). (This view has been seen as an early expression of what now is known as actor–network...

...Getaways, Inc. This proposal will address the requirements for file storage and management, collaborative communication, information sharing within and between offices and the automation of administrative workflow. CHALLENGES AFFECTING KEY STAKEHOLDERS The processes currently being used at Simple Getaways for communication and the distribution of information are no longer suitable for the organization. Documents from each office are stored onsite on a Microsoft Windows file server, making it difficult for other offices to access and use the information they contain. Currently the method used to share files with other offices is via email. This results in multiple copies of the same document residing on various computers at multiple office locations. The duplicate versions are not updated when the original document is modified which leads to different versions of the same document being used. Some business decisions are being made using information from the outdated documents. For example, a document containing airline ticket pricing may be used when creating price quotes for customer travel, but the price for airline tickets fluctuates regularly. If these inaccurate prices were used in a quote, the company has the potential to lose money on the transaction and may be obligated to fulfil the terms of the quote even though it was based on incorrect information. Additionally, when a document is shared between multiple offices and they each make alterations and return the document...

...Case Study Report IBM’s Knowledge Management Proposal For The Ontario Ministry of Education Name: Nancy (Huinan) Li ID: 5000520 Email: huinan1988@gmail.com Module 5 (Session 7) June 03, 2014 Executive Summary In the early 2000s, the Ontario Ministry of Education contracted IBM in order to find a solution to its poor knowledge management. As a result, Kathryn Everest, a knowledge management consultant at IBM Canada, developed three options that would be beneficial to the organization and possibly resolve the problems. The three alternatives included implementing document management, cultivating communities of practice and creation of an expert directory. After much time spent determining which option, or combination of options, would be most beneficial as well as the best implementation plan. I recommend EDU to implement a document management system. Issues Identification The Ontario Ministry of Education (EDU) has a couple of issues but one of the fore running issues is electronic data. Having the same document on more than one computer’s hard drive, or having up to 20 different version of that document should be unwarranted. Another key issue is knowledge sharing as more than one person could be doing the same research. Having more than one person doing the same research without each other’s knowledge is inefficient and unacceptable business practice. The main issue in this case is the erroneous storage of the electronic data that’s available resulting...

...How the Effective Application of Technology Can Save Money and Help Win Cases Prepared and Presented by: Michael J. Glick, Esq. Encore Legal Solutions Paralegal│Resource How The Effective Application of Technology Can Save Money and Help Win Cases People say that we live in a litigious society. There is some truth to that. Litigation often comes unexpectedly, is costly, messy and the outcome isn’t always predictable. But as business concerns, we strive to understand our costs and factor them into comprehensive models to assure profits. The role of in-house counsel has grown in recent years in an effort to become more proactive in limiting exposure and controlling the costs which can threaten profits. Much of this effort is focused on managing outside counsel to improve adherence to case budgets. However, there has been a reluctance to provide the tools to the outside counsel that can truly enhance efficiency, particularly within the area of discovery. This article will provide an understanding of how new tools and procedures can help to make the litigation process more efficient. Perhaps even more importantly, we show how these tools will provide a better understanding of potential liability earlier on to enable better decision making, more predictability and even help promote economies of scale in the ongoing battle to contain legal costs. One of the areas of largest expense is discovery: the identification, acquisition, management and analysis of evidence. Today...

...Documentum | | | Setting for the Case In November 1993 Jeff Miller, Documentum's CEO, is faced with the challenge of pursuing either a vertical or horizontal marketing strategy to route Documentum towards profitability. Situation and Business Issues Documentum enjoys a leading role in an emerging and potentially lucrative space. But profiting from this opportunity will require overcoming several immediate hurdles including a limited customer base, formidable competitors and unforeseen development costs. Key Information, Facts, Assumptions Documentum was founded in June 1990 by Howard Shao and John Newton, seasoned database engineers who aimed to develop a new class of software for automating the management of documents across an enterprise. Following three years of losses, Documentum gains traction by combining an elite management team with $5.8MM of Venture Capitalist funding. Analysis Enterprise document management (EDM) is a new, paradigm-busting product category with few substitutes. The category growth is small, increasing at a rate of 1%-2% year over year . Competition within the EDM category is low, as no other company was developing the "whole elephant" solution. Profitability was extremely low, given the low number of customers and long lead time to develop and deliver the product solution. The combination of these characteristics wholly describes the EDM category as being in the Introduction Stage of the Category Life Cycle . With regards...
