    (2024-09-19) Chetia, Anupama; Hangshing, Jangkhohao
    This study addresses the implementation of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and CARE (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, Ethics) principles in managing the indigenous knowledge within libraries of Assam. Through review of literature and surveys using questionnaires, it assesses the current status of indigenous knowledge management in surveyed libraries. The study also appraises the integration of FAIR and CARE principles in Acquiring, Preserving, and Disseminating Indigenous Knowledge dataset. The findings from the study highlight the challenges faced by libraries such as limited access to knowledge, limitation of funding, lack of specific protocols/guidelines, and insufficiently trained staff to handle ethical and cultural concerns. The study also offers recommendations to enhance the implementation of FAIR and CARE principles for preserving and disseminating Indigenous knowledge effectively.

    Role of Mobile Information Services for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals in Libraries of Assam
    (INFLIBNET Centre Gandhinagar, 2024-09-19) Medhi, Purabi; Hangshing, Jangkhohao
    The purpose of this research is to explore the use of mobile information services in libraries across Assam (India) to promote sustainable development goals. The study aims to accomplish several objectives, including identifying the various types of mobile information services available in libraries, evaluating their readiness to adopt these services, analyzing the potential benefits of these services in promoting literacy and knowledge dissemination, and identifying challenges faced in implementing them. The study's results showed that e-resource access is the most widely available mobile information service in the surveyed libraries, but other services such as mobile catalogue access, account management, and digital library services are less available. Despite this, the majority of library users actively use these services, indicating a growing demand.
