The authority control method also creates a unified bibliographic database with separate access points for both library users and library professionals. To review the authority control procedure for the sake of this study, we used free and open-source library management software, namely Koha. Different methods are followed by the Koha administration and its cataloguing module. The bibliographic and authority frameworks are very helpful and conducive to all the libraries and information centers. The originality of this study has been successfully demonstrated by library cataloguers’ observations on frequent strategies for carrying out the authority control processes.","PeriodicalId":426985,"journal":{"name":"SRELS Journal of Information Management","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115064156","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}

{"title":"Research Performance of Top Cited Indian Researchers on ResearchGate Platform: An Altmetric Analysis","authors":"Subhajit Panda, Navkirandeep Kaur","doi":"10.17821/srels/2023/v60i4/168065","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17821/srels/2023/v60i4/168065","url":null,"abstract":"Over the last few decades, scholarly communication is changing with the use of social media serving as an effective medium. Several new factors have emerged in the context of social media activity to accelerate the shift. The current research relied on the ResearchGate platform, an Academic Social Networking Site (ASNS), meant for scientists and scholars enabling them to share, communicate, collaborate, connect and get updated with the feeds and scholarly information. The study focused on the top 15 cited Indian researchers and their research performance on ResearchGate. The research data was collected manually and analysed using several altmetric parameters available on ResearchGate to evaluate the performance of the targeted researchers. For statistical correlation analysis, the researcher relied on JASP statistical analysis software (v. 0.16.0.0). The study findings reveal that Sujit K Bhattacharya has the maximum citations (17210) among Indian researchers on ResearchGate, accompanied by the maximum number of publications (505), the highest value of h-index (70) and Research Interests (8991). The majority of the contributions from the targeted researchers are research articles (71.95%) and 49.10% are available in full text. Researcher S G Deshmukh has asked the maximum number of questions (22), and also provide a significant number of answers (314). The publications of researcher K. M. Singh (Res. 15) received a maximum number of Read (529397), and recommendations (3179). The RG Score of S G Deshmukh is the highest (57.00) among all of the targeted researchers. Pearson’s Correlations Test among five interconnected variables calculated that among 7 different types of correlation formation, “Citations - Res. Int.” (0.920), “Publications - Res. Int.” (0.865), “RG Score - Res. Int.” (0.773), and “Publications - RG Score” (0.765) pairs possess highly positive correlation linkage. The core context of this study is helpful for the representation of India in terms of top-cited researchers and their research performance on ResearchGate. The study also promotes young researchers to disseminate their research over such ASNS platforms to increase visibility and research impact.","PeriodicalId":426985,"journal":{"name":"SRELS Journal of Information Management","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115799477","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}

R. Ranganathan, an Indian librarian and educator who is known as the 'Father of Library Science in India', is also widely known throughout the rest of the world due to his worldwide contribution to library science. Earlier it was difficult to find citations to prominent old research works. New computer technology helps find these types of articles more easily and it also finds sleeping beauties in several disciplines. Here the term 'Sleeping beauty' is used to define a research article life (year) that has been relatively uncited for several years and then suddenly attracts a lot of attention. The present paper describes four sleeping beauties that are found from Ranganathan’s contributions (books only) in library science, such as; Colon Classification (1933), Prolegomena to Library Classification (1937), Philosophy of Library Classification (1951) and Reference Service (1961). Above mentioned four sleeping beauties are detected using three main criteria; depth of sleep, length of sleep, and awakening intensity given by Van Raan (2015) to detect the sleeping beauties.","PeriodicalId":426985,"journal":{"name":"SRELS Journal of Information Management","volume":"229 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131683607","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 OA movement in Bangladesh is being developed to reduce the huge pressure on the library budget for subscriptions to journals. In most developed countries, university libraries view open-access materials as an important part of their collection development strategy. In this study, we examine the current state of OA resources in public university libraries in Bangladesh, collection development policies, the library authority's perspectives, the challenges libraries face in including OA resources in their collection development, and how to overcome those obstacles. Methodology: A survey and a stratified random sample technique were used in this study. A total of 276 students and 268 faculty members were surveyed. The first six public universities (in order of date of establishment) were selected. We sent out questionnaires directly to students, library personnel, librarians, and other library officials. Using library websites, journals, official records, and Google Scholar was another step. Findings: This study indicates that although open access materials may be quite useful in the growth of collections, most academic library authorities seem unconcerned about this. The utilization of open access materials in the overall collection is visible, but it is insignificant.","PeriodicalId":426985,"journal":{"name":"SRELS Journal of Information Management","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126908650","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}

However, its function and mode of operation have surely changed over time. It is the field of study that examines how writing might be used and how it might affect people's lives. Under the direction of a trained assistant, it is an act of interactive interplay between the reader's personality and the literature. People have various mental health issues, challenges, and difficulties in recent years. Bibliotherapy is a concept where, with the help of books, people manage their lives and their challenges. This study aims to see the efficacy of bibliotherapy in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression. Based on this experiment, researchers propose a conceptual framework for libraries. A book by Catherine M. Pittman titled \"Rewire Your OCD Brain: Neuroscience-Based Skills to Break Free from Obsessive Thoughts and Fears\" served as the primary data gathering tool for this research, which was carried out using an experimental methodology. The study's findings demonstrate a substantial difference between the experimental and wait-list groups in the treatment of mild to moderate OCD and depression symptoms with the application of bibliotherapy.

While financial constraints are a common challenge for libraries, user expectations are continuously growing. To meet and exceed user expectations, libraries must embrace new technologies and software solutions. Open-source options have proven to be particularly beneficial for nonprofit organizations like libraries. Looking to the future, as libraries continue their digital transformation, many library automation software, especially traditional library management systems (ILS), are becoming outdated. In response to the diverse requirements of libraries, the architecture of Library Services Platforms (LSP) offers enhanced flexibility and functionality within a unified platform. Among the various LSPs that have emerged over the past seven years, FOLIO has demonstrated rapid development and progress. Upon exploration, it becomes evident that FOLIO's developers have prioritized a micro-services architecture, emphasizing apps over modules. This approach provides a comprehensive multitasking app environment, a user-friendly Dashboard for quick access, efficient data management, and much more. The user-friendly nature of FOLIO sets it apart from traditional Integrated Library Systems (ILS), which may lack such ease of use. Despite its abundant features, FOLIO is still relatively under-recognized in India. This paper aims to discuss the distinctive features of FOLIO, it’s potential as a comprehensive solution for libraries, and whether it can effectively replace traditional ILS systems.","PeriodicalId":426985,"journal":{"name":"SRELS Journal of Information Management","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117221617","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}

These samples, each between 2000 and 2500 words long, are then analyzed using both conventional plagiarism detection tools and selected AI detection tools. The study finds that traditional syntactic similarity-based anti-plagiarism tools struggle to detect AI-generated text due to the differences in syntax and structure between machine-generated and human-written text. However, the researchers discovered that AI detector tools can be used to catch AI-generated content based on specific characteristics that are typical of machine-generated text. The paper concludes by posing the question of whether we are entering an era in which AI detectors will be used to prevent AI-generated content from entering the scholarly communication process. This research sheds light on the challenges associated with AI-generated content in the academic research literature and offers a potential solution for detecting and preventing plagiarism in this context.","PeriodicalId":426985,"journal":{"name":"SRELS Journal of Information Management","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129208817","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}
