Moreover, content analysis is also useful in analyzing the user queries and in designing search formulation. The purpose of paper is to analyze, evaluate and apply Zipf's Law in Computer Science through the content analysis of literature published in ACM journals. The study is focused on the analysis of 13, 053 unique keywords out of 107,467 total keywords retrieved from 1954 to 2008 from Journals. Further, a total of 748 keywords have been chosen for this study which occurred > 20 times. The distribution of keywords shows that the studies have been conducted in a large number of areas of study in computer science. Further, computer science research has been covering all the aspects very well as occurrences of almost all the keywords have increasing trend. However, Zipf's Law only approximates in patches, not in the entire data set.","PeriodicalId":253780,"journal":{"name":"2015 4th International Symposium on Emerging Trends and Technologies in Libraries and Information Services","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121488138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays Geographic Information is a key component when it comes to the utilization of natural resources. Geo processing tools, software packages, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), spatial databases provide geographic information or in other words Geo-spatial data With the advent of related technologies it is now possible to geo-tag or geo-refer a wide array of resources like textual material, geographic documents, image data, raster data, historical valued information and legacy database. The present work discusses metadata issues related to Spatial Data Infrastructure; and attempts to propose a three-tired infrastructure aimed towards enhancement of metadata catalogue services in regards of three aspects, i) Incorporating of various geographic information metadata elements and provision of necessary support for spatial data infrastructures ii) Achieving interoperability between different metadata standards that is between those standards used for encoding general information resources and those essential for spatial data infrastructures iii) Enhancement of information retrieval techniques for spatial data infrastructure by the use of disambiguated vocabularies.","PeriodicalId":253780,"journal":{"name":"2015 4th International Symposium on Emerging Trends and Technologies in Libraries and Information Services","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122358958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The institutional repository's variation is to meet the users demand and expectation of digital information and services. Digital information is a set of advanced information system. Presently, this information system is meant to support the local needs. This system is also based on specialized missions and has its own user populations. Over the years, digital repository is maturing and handling various types of information. The maturity of digital repository in affording the searching and linking tools are the most important criterions to meet the users' demand. Rich interaction between users and information residing in diverse location commence the effectiveness of digital information accessibility. Thus, digital services are being expanded internationally to meet the users' expectation. Widespread efforts for digital services on the information structures and infrastructures have tied-up the librarians and IT personnel in a digitization county.

Information profession and professionals have been impacted by the exponentially increasing volumes of information available - as well as with changing attitudes and behaviour of information seeker toward electronic resources. It is very difficult to find the required pieces of information in the bundled of scattered information. The task becomes more challenging, when we find that over 90% of the information available is in unstructured and semi-structured forms, which is very difficult to search. Here text mining has come as a tool to help Information professionals to find the relevant information and deliver to its users. Text mining is used as a technology for analyzing large volumes of structured/unstructured textual documents. Text mining has very high knowledge and commercial values. The aim of Text mining is generally to strengthen decision making and internal operations processes of any organisation and generation of new domain of knowledge. These technologies help to increase the utilization of Knowledge Management (KM) systems and pro-actively help information professionals to improve their competencies and thus productivity of the organization. This article discusses the basic concept of text mining, its framework and text mining products and tools. It also discusses the benefits and challenges of text mining and examines the role of Information Professionals in Text Mining.","PeriodicalId":253780,"journal":{"name":"2015 4th International Symposium on Emerging Trends and Technologies in Libraries and Information Services","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130434195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emphasis in the libraries has been on `access' instead of `acquisition', `team work' rather than `individual contribution', solitary environment to networked environment. Hence, the present study attempts to highlight the current developments in academic libraries in order to tune with the changing information industry and requirements of the user community. The expertise and skills needed by the Librarians also calls for continuous updation of skills to possess expertise and skills to work in the complex, multifaceted and modern digital library.
