    Library automation project using E-G3
    (Indian Streams Research Journal, 2014-03-23) Ansari, Shaheen N.; Gaonkar, Rupesh
    Library is a fast growing organism. The ancient methods of maintaining it are no longer dynamic and efficient. For expeditious retrieval and dissemination of information and better service for the clientele, application of modern techniques has become absolutely indispensable. A properly computerized library will help its users with quick and prompt services. Library automation refers to mechanization of library housekeeping operations predominantly by computerization. eG3 is an integrated software system with all the required models for small to very large libraries. It is found that this automation projects will serve as a model for any library. Being an open source, any Library wanted to go for automation for their library housekeeping operations can make use of this software.

    QR (Quick Response) Codes Application in Academic Libraries
    (C.T.Bora College, 2013-12) Ansari, Shaheen N.; Gaonkar, Rupesh
    In libraries there are a number of ways to get using QR codes. Barcodes are used within libraries mainly to link items to a catalogue record. Using the traditional barcode the information contained is very limited and only by scanning the barcode (at the library counter) are you able to find further information contained within the catalogue record. If instead we started to use QR codes to label books, journals, audio/visual, offprints etc and a user wanted to see further information about that resource all they’d need to do is scan the QR code. They’d be able to find descriptive information, images, useful URLs etc all at the touch of a button on their phone. This paper examines QR codes and how they can be composed and scan and decode by a camera. QR code is 2-dimensional barcode used for quick response service in academic libraries to a new generation students. This article contains a small sampling of current QR code implementations as well as a summary of what has been done to encourage student engagement with the library through the use of QR codes at the AIKTC (Anjuman-I-Islam’s Kalsekar Technical Campus) Central Library.

    Website evaluation of select industries: an evaluation
    (CESER Publications, 2010) Ansari, Shaheen N.
    Technology has expanded the range and ease of information access at the expense of personal contact. The implications for libraries are substantial: a need to more clearly identify groups of users and their different needs. One way of attempting to meet such needs, and one of the most important new elements in the electronic library environment, is the website. Simultaneously, the need for evaluation is felt very keenly in libraries. In times of rapid and profound societal and technological change, evaluation is essential to preserving the viability and the visibility of libraries. This article describes how top ranking Pharma Industries perform, show their information strength. Therefore, their websites are evaluated to indirectly know the emphasis on information. This study has outlined the major aims and methods of select Pharmaceutical Industries websites. It has explored the criteria by which library websites are evaluated and the measures used to assess those criteria. Generally for evaluating websites there are many criteria available in literature. However, certain special criteria depending on the nature of subject and type of organization were found out for evaluation.
