This study aims: 1) to understand the existing information services and products, 2) to study the marketing orientation based on four marketing mix variables such as product, place, price and promotion, 3) to study the approach of librarians to marketing activities and 4) to identify the problems encountered in marketing of information products and services of the university libraries in Kerala. The data for the study collected from the university librarian or in-charge of four university libraries in Kerala -Kerala University Library, Mahatma Gandhi University Library, Cochin University of Science and Technology Library and CH Mohammed Koya Library of University of Calicut. All the university libraries in Kerala have some sort of conventional as well as IT enabled information services and products that can be marketed. The librarians have a positive attitude towards marketing. The identified problems encountered are lack of trained staff and less demand for the existing resources and services. It is indeed in the interest of the university libraries in Kerala to initiate new information services and products suitable for the different user groups. Also, it was found that university libraries in Kerala need better promotional activities. For the effective and efficient marketing, the university libraries should have a separate marketing division with a definite marketing plan.","PeriodicalId":85535,"journal":{"name":"Social science information studies : SSIS","volume":"73 1","pages":"247-258"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85595529","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}

Information that will be useful for busy clinicians during patient care or at the bed side must be filtered for relevance, have labels for strength of recommendation and must be easily accessed. Point-of-care (POC) information resources belong here. However, their usage and distribution of use among clinicians in Nigeria have not been studied and the reason for this paper. Survey research was employed and questionnaire used to collect data from clinicians in a tertiary health institution in Southwest Nigeria on their use of fifteen selected POC information resources. The study found that while the doctors mostly (68.57%) use search engines such as Google to meet their POC information needs, very few (17.14%) will however use POC information resources. On their usage of POC information resources, the study found that eMedicine (14.29%) and 5-minute Clinical Consult (14.29%) and Clinical Evidence (11.43%) were mostly used on daily basis where eMedicine (17.14%), Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews (11.43%) and Clinical Evidence (8.57%) were the ones used more on weekly basis. On the overall use average, the study found that eMedicine (21.91%), BMJ's Clinical Evidence (16.19%), and Clinical pharmacology-Elsevier (13.33%) and Cochrane Library (10.47%) were the mostly used POC information resources by clinicians in the tertiary health institution. However, the test of hypothesis on how users are distributed on POC information resources in the hospital shows a non-uniform distribution. Recommendations were made based on these findings.","PeriodicalId":85535,"journal":{"name":"Social science information studies : SSIS","volume":"4 1","pages":"81-92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79160035","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}

Majority of the respondents agree that they know more about managing their personal information and apply it on research work. The study also revealed that major difficulties faced by research scholars are inadequate awareness of managing information via Internet.

Knowledge Management can be incorporated into library operations to promote job effectiveness, thereby offering the opportunity to expand the role of libraries in other areas where librarians have had little impact in the past. This study summarizes knowledge management practices and its applications in academic libraries, which requires academic librarians to reappraise their functions and expand responsibilities to effectively contribute to meet the needs of a large and diverse university community. This work adopted survey research method and used questionnaire to generate data, which were handed out to the respondents, who are professional librarians at the Ekiti State University Library. These people were selected because of the pivotal role they play in the day to day running of the library. The data were analyzed using simple percentages and tables. Among other things, the result showed that 80% of the respondents share knowledge either formally or informally within the library. 60% of the respondents agreed that the library had used partnership with other libraries to acquire knowledge to sharpen their skills in this dynamic information technology environment. On the importance of Knowledge Management Practices (KMP) in the library, 80% of the respondents agreed that it is good to identify and protect strategic knowledge present in the library. 70% agreed that KMP is important because of the need to identify and fill knowledge glut for the smooth running of the library and 90% said to map and capture the internal and external knowledge available to the library is the reason KMP is important. Requirements for KMP and the benefits of KMP in the library were also estimated. Recommendations were made based on the findings.","PeriodicalId":85535,"journal":{"name":"Social science information studies : SSIS","volume":"30 1","pages":"19-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74286531","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}
