Why LMS with information services, KM & Social

media features

• Different tools for library automation, IR or Digital Library, social networking, KM, Search Engines - Inconvenience to library/ians in terms of Cost & Effort involved in IT infrastructure required in hosting, maintaining these different tools.

• Library resources dispersed on different databases/locations –Inconvenience to users, as user had to search multiple databases/search engines for a piece of information required.

• Library services dispersed on different locations – Difficult for users to follow – Content Pages, New Arrivals, New Book Request, User self Services, Newsletters.

2

Why LMS with information services, KM & Social

media features

This situation was defeating

/damaging the purpose/sprit of

2nd 3rd and 4th laws of library

science.

3

Other influencing factors-Changing Scenario

• Increase in the scope of media handled by libraries-Physical toelectronic, with different file formats.

• Increase in the scope of library services-Circulation, electronicmedia, information service, KM, social networking.

• Library services to the users from different generations andchanges in media preferences. Influence of Social media.

• Changing trends in Publication Industry (Print & Electronic).

• Changing business models/pricing of e-resources databases/aggregators.

4

Other influencing factors-Changing Scenario

• Open Access Initiatives

• Library Competitors which are not taken seriously by LISprofession but have detrimental impact on library and theyare;

– User self managed e-Journal and e-book databases(without librarian).

– Online vendors allowing users to buy e-book anddownload on e-readers.

– Commercial library service providers like Just BooksInc, Kwench Inc providing library services in Indiathreatening survival of corporate & special libraries.

5

Other influencing factors-Changing Scenario

• Increasing cost of commercial Library automation software.

• Increase in the cost of publications and in contrast dwindling

Library Budget.

6

Solutions: Single tool/Platform

• A single tool with which the library community is

familiar and further which can be exploited and

used not only for library automation but can also be

used for Digital Library resources, knowledge

sharing and social networking.

This is the one solution among various solutions

available to cope up with the existing situation in

LIS

7

Review of Literature

• Literature search on “Library automation tool”for “DL”, “KM” and “Social Media” – Tenimportant papers.

• Single tool is still not a focused area ofresearch among library researches.

• Though there are some theoretical paperswhich describes how a single tool can be usedfor library automation, DL,IR & KM but theseconcepts to be practically checked and realizedby the library researchers or library softwaredevelopers.

8

Review & Selection of Tool

• Studied two open source LMS and two

commercial LMS.

• Finalized NGL software that meets

requirements of present day libraries; a single

tool with which the library community is

familiar and which can be exploited and used

not only for library automation but also for

DL/IR, KM and Social Networking.
