    Application of Data Mining in Library and Information Services
    (INFLIBNET Center, 2004-11) Prakash, K; Prem Chand; Gohel, Umesh
    Knowledge Discovery or Data Mining is the partially automated process of extracting patterns, usually from large data sets. Library and information services in schools, colleges, universities, corporations and communities obtain information about their users, circulation history, resources in the collection, and search patterns. Now a days many libraries have taken advantage of these data as a way to improve customer service, manage acquisition budgets, or influence strategic decision-making about uses of information in their organizations. The paper tries give an overview on data sources and possible applications of data mining techniques in the library.

    Institutional Repositories, Open Access Movement and OAI- PMH Complaint Software
    (INFLIBNET Center, 2004-11) Chand, Prem; Murthy, T A V; Prakash, K; Gohel, Umesh
    The article outlines the overview of Institutional Repositories. A growing number of universities across the globe are running institutional repositories projects using open source software, while many others are in the planning stages. We move towards global sharing of information using these software and librarian have to play pivotal role in archiving the digital content, produced by the faculty members. Within next few years, I expect that universities in India also create repositories and effectively use open source software. This article describes about the current development of Open Access Initiative, Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) an important infrastructure component for Institutional repositories. A convergence of technology developments and other initiatives has made IRs possible. Technology costs, especially storage costs, have dropped significantly. There is now a variety of open source and commercial software platforms available for an institution wishing to develop an IR.. The paper highlights about general overview of Institutional Repositories, open source software, standard and protocol and role of INFLIBNET.
