    Institutional Repository - a Gateway: Case Study of AIKTC Central Library
    (Research Dimensions, 2016-12-10) Momin, Shaheen; Gaonkar, Rupesh
    Institutional repositories (IR) are digital collections that capture, collect, manage, disseminate, and preserve scholarly work created by the constituent members in individual institutions. This paper presents the results of an effort to develop and design an IR of Anjuman-i-Islam’s Kalsekar Technical Campus (AIKTC), New Panvel, India. The web performance of AIKTC institutional repositories is examined. Its performance in archiving and sharing based on the Ranking Web of Repositories (RWR) is also analysed. The main aim of ranking and registration is to promote the development of open access by providing timely information about the growth and status of repositories throughout the world. Open access to research maximizes research access and thereby also research impact, making research more productive and effective. The repository is web-enabled using DSpace Digital Library software and can be accessed online.

    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.
