The study also explores the differences in the students' searching skill level of information resources, based on their selected personal and academic variables including gender, age, type of university, level of degree and major academic subjects. A cross-sectional survey research method was used to collect data on a self-reporting questionnaire. Business students of undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels from 24 public and private sector universities of Lahore, Pakistan were selected through convenient sampling technique. Total population of this study was 114,500. With the margin error of 5% and confidence level of 97%, the sample of this study was 470 students. The study found a satisfactory level of students' searching skills. There was no significant difference in the skills based on various variables like gender, age, type of university and level of degree. However, short courses and training workshops had a positive impact on the level of skills. There is a lack of research on the topic and this paper will fill the gap in existing literature. This study will be helpful for Library Information Service (LIS) academicians, librarians, professional associations and LIS trainers to design and implement training programs for university students in the area of OIS. This study will also be helpful for Higher Education Commission (HEC) national digital library for selection of appropriate databases for business students.","PeriodicalId":52112,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Information Management and Libraries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90951404","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}

Al-Haidari","doi":"10.47657/2018201453","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47657/2018201453","url":null,"abstract":"At present, there are several formats that exist through which data is distributed among online stakeholders. An example of this is the XML, which like other such formats is helpful for traditional inquiry methods and for forming the foundation of query languages such as SPARQL and SQL. Information about primary representation demands a broader assistance for the languages where every piece of data from any resource can substantiate the original queries for searching. Such models are useful for XML based retrieval since several cooperative XML search engines have been developed already. These search engines perform semantic investigation of XML files with data surrounded by the important fields. Therefore, XML files are used to store and index data intended for competent retrieval. In this research, an attempt is made to fill this gap of customized representation and retrieval with a focus on the educational domain. An institute's repository of books, e-books, journals, articles and research theses has been used to retrieve results. A system has been proposed and developed to store the contents of Institute's Databank as an object of the Digital Library. A structured method has been proposed to organize all the data and a system has been developed which extracts meaningful information from the Data Bank. The information repository is established, and the entire data is represented in terms of a unit called Digital Object in the Digital Library. The single unit is represented by recording some quantitative data about it referred to as ‘Metadata'. The search is focused on extracting meaningful information from the repository by applying some filtration strategies to get relevant information, best matched with the query terms. At the end, a partitioning and parallelism focused architecture to archive the information for sharing, back-up and collaboration is also proposed. Comparison of the proposed scheme with state of the art schemes is provided in terms of computational complexity and recall measurement.","PeriodicalId":52112,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Information Management and Libraries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88559342","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}

This study is aimed at exploring the competency of university students with regards to personal information management (PIM). The objective is to identify the problems in PIM and to provide a framework for improving it. For this study, the sample consisted of 400 undergraduate students randomly selected from a large public-sector university in Islamabad. The data were collected through a questionnaire with closed and open-ended items. The closed-ended items were analyzed through cross tabs and Chi-square tests to find a relationship between specific PIM competencies in different programs. The questionnaire items helped in acquiring information about students' specific competencies in PIM were categorized as ‘low', ‘moderate' and ‘high' competency. The students identified the problems they faced in PIM and suggested ways for improving it. The findings of this study will help in improving organization and application of information, and also in exploring further avenues of research in improving PIM skills of university students in the developing countries.","PeriodicalId":52112,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Information Management and Libraries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86838571","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}
