GONDRA MARIE ANTONETTE T. MORALES ADAM PATRICK L. PESTAÑO KIERAN CHRIS I. PILLAS Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction A library is a collection of books, resources, and services, and the structure in which it is housed; it is organized for use and maintained by a public body, an institution, or a private individual. The term "library" has itself acquired a secondary meaning: "a collection of useful material for common use," and in this sense is used in fields such as computer science, mathematics, statistics, electronics, and biology. This research is intended for public, institutions and researchers’, use as their resourceful information. In particular, this study will help the library personnel or the librarian in monitoring the books accurately. Further, the use of cataloguing will be made easier through an advance system provided by this study. The librarian is encountering problems in doing transactions like borrowing books, checking the availability of books, returning and accessioning of books because all the transactions are being done manually. The process is time consuming. The proponents decided to propose this system to help Tomas Claudio...

Of these, the impact of ICT and the new knowledge economy are the most significant. Changes in our educational practice lead, in turn, to changes in our approaches to teaching and learning. These changes also impact on our teaching and learning paradigms. Currently, as over the past few decades, we teach and learn in a constructivist learning paradigm. This article discusses past and present paradigm shifts in education and then explores possible future learning paradigms in the light of the knowledge explosion in the knowledge era that we are currently entering. 1. The impact of ICT on education The electronic information revolution currently experienced in the world can be compared to and reveals the same characteristics as the first information revolution started by Gutenberg’s printing press. This means that, just as present-day society accepts the printing industry as given and printed materials form an integral part of our daily existence, electronic material will go the same way. Possibly in only a drastically shorter period than in the case of printed material. It is furthermore important...

...The 21st century can be characterized as the computer century. Computer revolution was initiated after World War II and is continuously evolving ever since. Changes in everyday life can be straightforwardly observed, should one compare life nowadays to that 30 years ago. Nowadays, people have direct access to immense knowledge information, through internet and electronic libraries, communicate with other people globally, through online social media, manage their job tasks with computer-based software, and these are only some paradigms of the impact computers have to contemporary life. Some grounds, on which computer was developed, were the necessity for broad and easily accessible knowledge, system control, and means of organizing tasks and duties, to increase productivity and save valuable working hours. In previous years, knowledge was solely obtainable through local, public and academic libraries and was, thus, limited and dependent on the quality and quantity these libraries had to offer. Moreover, and even when this knowledge was both sufficient and qualitative, its interpretation and exploitation were so complex and time consuming, that yet again the need of an information processing tool, was apparent. Lengthy, intricate, financial management and business organization procedures demanded an efficient apparatus, to simplify daily work load. As a result, computer was ‘born’. Since its birth, computer has had massive impact, on the way world is perceived. Its technology...

...Information technology made the paradigm shift in record keeping of patients from a paper based system of health records to an electronic based system of health records. An electronic health record is a person’s official, digital health record and is shared among multiple health care providers and agencies. Since the commencement of the HITECH ACT in 2009 the implementations of electronic health record system have increased. The HITECH ACT introduced the electronic health record ‘meaningful use’ program and it is overseen by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. Hospitals and physicians who prove their use of government certified electronic health system meets the meaningful use criteria are eligible to receive (). Vendor neutral archives (VNA) and picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) are two major types of health information technology that help health care professionals store and manage patients’ medical images. These two health...

...The Fluidity of Computer Science. Gender Norms & Racial Bias in the Study of the Modern "Computer Science" Computer science or computing science designates the scientific and mathematical approach in computing. A computer scientist is a scientist who specialises in the theory of computation and the design of computers. Its subfields can be divided into practical techniques for its implementation and application in computer systems and purely theoretical areas. Some, such as computational complexity theory, which studies fundamental properties of computational problems, are highly abstract, while others, such as computer graphics, emphasize real-world applications. Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to description of computations, while the study of computer programming itself investigates various aspects of the use of programming languages and complex systems, and human-computer interaction focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable, and universally accessible to humans. Computer science deals with the theoretical foundations of information, computation, and with practical techniques for their implementation and application. History The earliest foundations of what would become computer science predate the invention of the modern digital computer. Machines for calculating fixed numerical tasks such as the abacus have existed since antiquity...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study With diminishing finances, it is rarely possible for a library or information center to have enough resources to fulfill the needs of its clients. What is being delivered is only a portion of what their clients actually need (Ramos & Mohd Ali, 2005). Collaboration is widely recognized as the best way for libraries to cope with the ever increasing challenges: volume of information resources; nature and quality of information; user needs and expectations; information and communication technology competencies and infrastructure; inflated cost of information resources; and staffing needs. However, although these challenges have continued to prevail, libraries working under collaborative initiatives like the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI) have registered tremendous success. This thesis reports the findings of a thorough study to establish the factors that have led to the success of CARLI and how such success factors can be applied in libraries of developing countries like Uganda. Emphasis is placed on the establishment of CARLI leadership, the sharing of responsibility and decision making processes as well as sources of funding for the consortium. Also central to the research study is exploration of the role and responsibility of participating member libraries and their contributions to and expectations from the consortium. I contend that lack of funding to facilitate consortium...

...innovative phenomenon in human resources development and training in Nigeria. The library profession, like other professions, is dynamic. This dynamism is in response to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). With the introduction of ICT into the field of library and information science (LIS), it has become imperative that library and information science practitioners possess the skill needed to function effectively in an ICT environment. Lawal (2002), quoting Francis Bacon, describes a professional as one who has mastered certain specialized intellectual techniques, and adds that it was the intellectual content which came to distinguish the profession from the medieval craft. According to him, increased specialization of skills means that the term “profession” is now used for certain occupations which enjoy prestige and which give esoteric service. Such professions include architects, surveyors, doctors, librarians and information scientists, and engineers, among others. The intellectual work of librarians derives from the application of scientific principles in organizing, storing, retrieving, and disseminating information. In recent years, the library profession has been affected by developments in ICT. Igbinosa (2007) notes that advances in ICT have changed the paradigm of librarians' work from information storage to one of access to world literature resources using electronic databases, the Internet, and other digital resources. According to Omekwu (2005),...

...The Influence of the School Media Specialist’s Role on Students’ Attitudes and Performance in the Research Process Abstract Many high school students at all achievement levels fail in the research process due to the frustration and anxiety that arise from their inability to efficiently locate and manipulate resources. This frustration causes them to perform poorly and in some cases to abandon the process. At the same time, the media specialist’s training and expertise are under-used by both teachers and students. All classes of male and female 11th grade students of all ability levels will be subjected to two different styles of bibliographic instruction prior to beginning their research papers. At the time the assignment is given they will be given a questionnaire that measures their attitudes at various stages of the process. A correlation between attitudes and grades is hypothesized. The conclusion drawn from such a correlation is that an active bibliographic instruction role reduces students’ frustration and anxiety in the research process and thus, positively influences grades. Introduction To address the problem of failure in the high school research paper process, the method of bibliographic instruction is one of several factors that can reasonably be examined. If BI is, indeed, a relevant factor, it may then be postulated to extend its influence to other areas that may have a contributory...

...I am currently pursuing a career in Long-Term Care and I currently work in the Home Health Care industry. During my time working in the home care industry, I have seen a growth in the demand of home health care providers and services. I found an article in the University Library that explains how home health care is a transformed way of health care delivery. Now a days hospital stays are costing an enormous amount of money. Some insurances will not cover the whole expense and it is costing Americans to go into debt due to medical bills. Health care reform has challenged the home care industry to reemerge as the primary city for delivery of health care, just as it was in the beginning of the 20th century (Donnell & Sampson 1994). Each year billions of dollars is spent on technology that will innovate our health care system. The federal government is also planning to spend up to $29 billion in incentives to encourage hospitals and doctors’ offices to digitize health care records (Lee, 2013). This goes to show that as the years pass our health care system will be completely revolutionized and most of the health care system will be digital. The technology that was been created for home care has made it safe for clinicians to go into peoples home and administer a variety of therapies. Also, an extensive array of disease entities that were once treated in the hospital can now be managed safety and effectively in the home. I think the reform of home health care will change health...

...Business Models for Internet Based E-Commerce B Mahadevan Introduction The meteoric growth of Internet based E-commerce at the turn of the last century is truly baffling. During the last one decade, this market space has grown in several directions. In its first generation, it saw the emergence of portals and search engines. However, in due course more and more organisations began to cater to the Business to Customer (B2C) market. In the last two years, there is significant growth in the Business to Business (B2B) segment. As several organisations began to operate in the Internet market space, they innovated unique propositions to create value in the process. These were either not found or difficult to replicate in the traditional brick and mortar operation. This course will help the students understand these unique propositions in a unified framework. The framework is collectively referred to as "Business Models". An Internet based business has several dimensions: · · · · the technology aspect primarily comprising of telecommunication, networking and other infrastructure issues the software domain that includes programming languages, web page design, customer interface and transactions management, security and privacy management, and large scale data mining the management aspect that deals with the business strategies for value creation, growth and customer development and retention the statutory and legal dimension that addresses various cyber laws dealing with security...
