Assessment of RFID Enabled Libraries: A User Perception Sabiha Zehra1*, Uzma Qadri2* 1

Government Medical College, Srinagar, Kashmir, India Allama Iqbal Library, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, Kashmir, India

Abstract The paper aims to examine the level of awareness about Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) among library users and reveal the impact of the same on various library procedures performed by users in library. To address the research objectives articulated in this study various departments from the faculty of science, University of Kashmir were selected on randomly in order to study the level of awareness about RFID technology. The survey method based on questionnaire was applied to reveal the impact of the same technology on students. A 15 item, closed-ended questionnaire was distributed amongst 80 Students. However, only 56 students returned the filled questionnaire, thus the response rate is equal to 70 percent. The students cite many features for using RFID like there is no checking while leaving the library, Self-Issue/Return, save their time, easy access to information and self-checking of personal records. In enhancing patron experiences libraries should conduct training and orientation programmes. This study arrives at conclusion that most of the student learnt to operate RFID by themselves, followed by friends/colleagues and library staff and found it more interactive than barcode technology. The paper provides an insight about future processes to enhance the use of this technology in libraries and how it aids users to carry out routine based library procedures. The study takes into account how and what the users perceive of RFID technology and its impact on day to day procedures and activities carried out by patrons in libraries.

Webometric Analysis of Library Websites of Indian Institutes of Technology Akhandanand Shukla*, Vanlalfeli Department of Library and Information Science, Mizoram University, Aizawl, India Abstract The purpose of the study is to analyze the library websites of Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) through webometric indicators including URL analysis, Web Impact Factor (WIF) calculation, link pattern analysis as well as file formats analysis. The survey was conducted for all IITs library websites for three rounds having the gap of fifteen days in each round. Search engine “Google” has been found suitable for the survey due to its capability to support webometrics search expressions. Very low WIF has been found for all the IITs library websites. Linking pattern amongst IITs library websites is also found very poor. The study is oriented mainly to webometric analysis of library websites. The problems and solutions have been suggested for the increase of web presence of IITs library websites.

Abstract Very large amounts of data are being generated due to digital technologies and online activities. Traditional database solutions, which were used as intelligent tools to handle small data, are ineffective in handling the present day big data which has the characteristics of high volume, velocity and variety. Big data analytic tools are employed to get useful insights out of big data. There are some open source big data analytic tools which can be used by librarians for various operations and studies in library environment. Some possible areas include user studies, research, bibliometric studies, searching etc.
