Trends in the Growth of Literature on Hepatitis(1984-2003): Quantitative Analysis

Babu, B. Ramesh,Ramakrishnan, J. Korean Library and Information Science Society 2007 한국도서관정보학회지 Vol.38 No.2

이 논문에서는 1984년부터 2003년까지 200년에 걸쳐 MEDLINE과 CINAKL. IPA 등 3개 서지데이터베이스에 수록된 간염에 관한 분야의 문헌의 증가추세를 계량과학적으로 분석하였다. 이 기간 동안MEDLINE은 최대인 75,750건의 레코드를 수록하였으며, CINAHL, IPA의 순이었다. 특정지식영역의 연간문헌증가율은 동일하지 않으며, 연간증가율을 측정하기 위해서는 RGR을 적용하는 것이 아주 적합한 것으로 나타났다. RGR은 감소추세를 보였는데, 다만 1985년과 1997년에 성장률에서 약간의 변동이 있었다. 대학과 기업, 연구기관들은 RGR 및 Dt와 관련한 성과에서 성장추세와 감소추세, 변동추세 등의 결과에서 혼재된 양상을 보여주었다. 간염연구는 논문수와 페이지수의 측면에서 연단위로 RGR과 Dt를 산정했을 때는 다양한 양상을 보여주었다. This paper presents a scientometric analysis of the growth of literature output in the field of Hepatitis covered in three bibliographic databases namely MEDLINE, CINAHL and IPA. The literature covered in three databases for the period 1984-2003 was considered. MEDLINE covered the maximum of 75750 records during the study period 1984 to 2003. This is followed by CINAHL and IPA databases. It is found that the annual growth rate of literature in a particular field of knowledge will not be uniform and in order to measure the rate of growth from year after year, the application of RGR is quite appropriate. The RGR has shown a decreasing trend, with a slight fluctuation of growth rate for the years 1985 and 1997. The output by colleges, universities, corporate sector and research institutions with reference to RGR and Dt has shown mixed results such as increasing trend, decreasing trend and fluctuation trend. Hepatitis research indicates a different picture when the RGR and Dt were calculated by year-wise both in terms of number of papers and number of pages.

Relevance of Five Laws of Library Science in the Contemporary Library World

B. Ramesh Babu 한국문헌정보학회 2011 한국문헌정보학회지 Vol.45 No.4

Dr S. Ranganathan’s Five Laws of Library Science were published in 1931 which is a classic work. This article describes in detail the Five Laws of Library Science and their implications on library activities. These laws have provided a scientific approach to library science. They constitute the philosophical basis for work and services of all types of libraries. These also provide guidance in the practice of Library and Information Science. He author emphasises that these will provide source of inspiration and guidance in the years to come. Every student and teacher of library Science and librarian must give a thought to the implications of these laws. In the changing environment of libraries in the emerging society has to fall with in the purview of these laws. The imperatives motivated by these five laws at the time of Ranganathan and in the present days have been identified. The new interpretations of the five laws with the various current nomenclature of Library and Information Science and other allied subjects have been enumerated. These new interpretations of these Laws shows that in today’s international world of librarianship, Ranganathan’s Five laws are much important and relevant what was before and even it is increasing. These Laws became the cornerstones of the philosophy of the techniques of Western society’s library experts. The author concludes that the vision and legacy of Ranganathan will continue to be an inspiration and guiding spirit for the emergence of the new library and information profession. These will serve as source of inspiration and guidance in the years to come. It is not whether Ranganathan is by himself relevant to-day, but it is we who can make him relevant by studying and applying his principles and practices in different areas of library management.

Babu, B. Ramesh,Ramakrishnan, J. Korea Institute of Science and Technology Informat 2008 Journal of Information Science Theory and Practice Vol.39 No.4

이 연구에서는 MEDLINE과 CINAHL, IPA 등 3개 서지데이터베이스에 수록된 1984년부터 2003년까지 20년간의 문헌을 바탕으로 간염의 하위영역의 국가별 연구패턴과 우선순위에 대한 계량과학적 분석을 시도하였다. 이 연구에서는 연구자들의 간염연구분야의 전반적인 문헌분석에 대한 선행연구를 바탕으로 특히 하위영역에 대한 계량과학적 분석을 시도하였다. 간염분야의 주요 하위영역의 문헌은 23개로 세분되고 있으며, 1984-1993년의 기간중에는 일부 하위영역이 높은 우선순위를 차지하고 있었다. 하위영역의 우선순위가 높은 국가를 분석기간의 전반기와 후반기로 비교해 보면, 전반기(1984-1993)에는 미국(10개하위영역), 영국(9), 독일(8), 캐나다, 러시아, 네덜란드(각각 7) 순이었고, 후반기 (1994-2003)에는 독일(10), 영국(9), 미국(8), 캐나다, 러시아, 네덜란드(각각 7) 순이었다. This paper presents a scientometric analysis of national patterns of research output and priorities in the sub-fields of Hepatitis covered in three bibliographic databases namely MEDLINE, CINAHL and IPA. The literature covered in three databases for the period 1984-2003 was considered. We have already discussed the Trends in the Growth of Literature on Hepatitis in our previous paper. Therefore in this paper only sub-fields analysis is presented. It has been found that the Hepatitis literature output has been grouped in 23 major sub-fields based on databases covered. It was found that there were high priorities for some of the sub-fields of Hepatitis research during 1984-1993. It was found that the research priority profile was more or less homogenous since majority of the sub-fields are showing either below or above average levels of priority profile. In the first phase of the research period covering from 1984-1993, there are high priorities in 10 sub-fields in USA followed by 9 in UK and 8 in Germany, 7 each in Canada, Russia and Netherlands. On the other hand, in the second phase (1994-2003) there are high priorities for 10 sub-fields in Germany, 9 in UK, 8 in USA, 7 each in Canada, Russia and Netherlands. In the productivity of Pediatrics sub-field, India is in the third position.

Information Seeking Behaviour of Pharmacy Faculty: Implications for Enhancing the Quality of Pharmacy Libraries in Tamil Nadu (India)

Babu, B. Ramesh,Selvamani, J. Korea Institute of Science and Technology Informat 2016 Journal of Information Science Theory and Practice Vol.4 No.4

Information seeking behaviour is an activity of an individual in the process of identifying information that suits his/her knowledge pursuit. It is observed from the review of literature that there is no single study on the information seeking behaviour of faculties of pharmacy either at state level or national levels in India. Therefore this research has been conducted to bridge the gap on information seeking behaviour of pharmacy faculty in Tamil Nadu in view of the recent developments in information seeking behaviour, with objectives such as: to identify the information needs and seeking behaviour of faculty of the pharmacy educational institutions in Tamil Nadu (India); to examine the motivating factors for information seeking behaviour of the pharmacy faculty; to examine faculty opinions about the comprehensiveness or otherwise of respective institutions' library collections; and to analyse the extent of use and dependence on various sources of information for teaching and research. A total of 729 questionnaires have been distributed among 41 pharmacy educational institutions in Tamil Nadu, out of which 601 have responded, and the response rate is 82.44%. Based on the findings of the study certain implications have been derived as measures to enhance the quality of the pharmacy libraries in Tamil Nadu.

CONSORTIA INITIATIVES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN TAMIL NADU(INDIA) : A PROTOTYPE DESIGN MODEL

Babu, B. Ramesh,Vinayagamoorthy, P.,Gopalakrishnan, S. Korean Library and Information Science Society 2007 한국도서관정보학회지 Vol.47 No.3

This paper aims to present a brief overview of consortia' initiatives that have been taking place at national and International level. The developed countries witnessed the progressive growth of consortia initiatives; on the other hand, the situation is not encouraging in developing countries like India. Therefore in this paper an attempt has been made to trace the current developments in consortia awareness in Engineering Educational Institutions. For this purpose, a survey of Engineering Educational Institutions in Tamil Nadu has been considered to measure the consortia awareness and also the attitude towards Joining any consortia. Based on the results of the survey a model consortium has been proposed for the Engineering Educational Institutions in Tamil Nadu. 이 논문은 국가 및 국제수준에서 이루어지고 있는 컨소시엄사업에 대해 개괄적으로 살펴보기 위한 것이다. 선진국에서는 컨소시엄사업이 점차 증가하고 있는 반면, 인도와 같은 개발도상국에서는 상황이 좋지 않은 편이다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 시각에서 인도 타밀 나두 주의 공학교육기관들의 컨소시엄에 대한 인식을 살펴보고자 하였다. 컨소시엄에 대한 인식과 컨소시엄 가입에 대한 태도를 측정하기 위해 이 지역 공학교육기관들에 대한 실태조사를 실시하였다. 조사결과를 바탕으로 이 지역 공학교육기관을 위한 모형 컨소시엄을 제안하였다.
