    (INFLIBNET Centre Gandhinagar, 2024-09-19) Padhan, Dhirendra Kumar; Kampa, Raj Kishor
    The present study digs into the galaxy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) uses in education and learning, particularly scholarly writing. The conceptual approached study put forth concerns about using the AI-enabled technologies for scholarly work in the academic fraternity. Ethics, Integrity, and Policy concerns in using AI technologies by students, faculty members and researchers are presented in the study. AI being a game changer in the field of education and learning in general and scholarly writing in particular, has both positive and negative concerns. Boosting speed, efficiency, correctness in language and grammar, support to creativity and innovation are boon out of the AI enabled assistive technologies for the scholarly work. Whereas the concern of ethics, integrity, morality and ownership of intellectual properties are at stake where AI technologies are used for academic and research work. The reason being the dearth of standard policy documents in the legal and ethical uses of AI technologies in education and learning. Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) around the world focus on AI research and education by establishing AI Centres, AI Labs, AI Courses, AI Policy initiatives, and Ethical policy formation. These initiatives of Higher Educational Institutions would pay off in framing successful and sustainable futuristic AI policies for mankind.

    Research Support Services in Academic Libraries
    (INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 2022-11) Padhan, Dhirendra Kumar; Naidu, G Hemasundar
    Present study explores the research support provision in India's Higher Educational Institution (HEI) libraries. Library websites of the top 25 ranked HEI’s in the research domain of NIRF-2021, were investigated to know the status, provision, strength and weakness of research support services in academic libraries. Research-related visibility, resources, services, and outreach activities found on library websites were investigated to know the provision of research support services. Findings of the study reveal that HEI libraries are substantially well placed in Institutional repositories, edatabase of Theses & dissertations, and faculty research profiles. However, comparatively poor visibility of research support tools and services on library websites is a concern. Promotional and outreach activities of HEI libraries are limited to the Remote Access platform and Training/ orientation of subscribed tools and services. Uses of social media platforms are found to be very low by the HEI libraries.
