    Faceted Knowledge Organization Approach in Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) for Searching and Navigation: A Case Study
    (INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 2022-11) Pradhan, Dibya Kishor; Maharana, Bulu
    In addition to the traditional library information retrieval (IR) practices, the modern library has implemented federated search, web discovery, next-generation cataloguing, and other new tools for effective organization and discovery. Facet navigation (facet search, facet navigation, or guided navigation) is applied to many e-commerce sites and dominates the interface paradigm features. The faceted approach to knowledge organization in search and navigation functions of online catalogues helps users find their necessary information effectively and most conveniently. The application of faceted searching and navigation in library OPAC is discussed in this paper. This study aims to present an overview of OPAC's faceted techniques, which play a crucial role in information retrieval. This paper investigates the system or software used to develop the online catalogue and its status in terms of the faceted knowledge organization approach by the top engineering college libraries in Odisha ranked by NIRF. Identifying nine OPACs for this study found that ninety percent of the OPACs are faceted, and fifty percent of the library prefers Koha ILS. This paper also studied OPAC facet sequence and facet type and discussed how the facet theory is still applied to the OPAC.

    Scholarly Publication in Library and Information Science in India: A Citation Analysis of International LIS Journals
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2015-03-12) Pradhan, Dibya Kishor
    The main purpose of the study is to determine the trend of library and information science (LIS) scholarly publication in international LIS journals by Indian authors and also intends to find out the authorship pattern, collaborative nature, research distribution, etc. as no such scholarly paper has been studied the evaluation of India’s LIS literature in international LIS journals. Citation analysis was done to study the 353 literatures in library and information science contributed by the Indian authors. The citations were taken from SCOPUS, Current Awareness Abstract-Library and Information Management and Emerald Management Review databases during the period 2001 to 2010. The bibliographic data were tabulated and classified with the help of Microsoft Excel for necessary analysis. This paper highlights the pattern and orientation of LIS literatures authored by Indian authors. The findings show how and in which manner the Indian authors are contributed to the international LIS literature and also compare the national level consequences. This paper senses the importance of Indian LIS research, as well as researcher involved in citation analysis. The study is an original research work with citation analysis of scholarly publication of LIS literatures by Indian authors in international LIS journals. The finding will have practical implication for researcher, different agencies in different areas of library information science.
