Altmetrics: The Emerging Alternative Metrics for Web Research Analysis
(INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 2016-11) Kumar, Ashok; Shivarama, J; Angadi, Mallikarjun; Choukimath, Puttaraj A
The use of web 2.0 is becoming the essential part of present day life. People are spending time for many purposes and academic activities among these uses of web 2.0 social media services by users are prominent for searching, sharing, discussing, and messaging of scholarly content. The wider use of social media has given birth to various buzz words and ‘altmetrics’ is one of them. In simple words, altmetrics provides online measurement of scholars or scholarly content derived from the web 2.0 social media platforms. Altmetrics is diversified in nature and categorised in five categories i.e. (i) recommended (ii) cited (iii) saved (iv) discussed and (v) viewed. Altmetrics are becoming widely used by publishers (for showcasing research impact of authors over readers), librarians and repository managers (for adding value to their libraries and institutional repositories) and by the researchers (for complementing reading by instantly visualising papers online attention).

Correlation between Article Level Views, Google Citations and Scopus
(INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 2016-11) Singson, Mangkhollen; Kumar, Ranjit
The paper is an attempt to highlight the importance of adopting various metric to evaluate scholarship. Article level views and citations metric (Scopus & Google Citation) of Annals of Library and Information Studies were extracted from 2011 to 2015 to establish the relationship between them using Pearson correlation. Findings of the study indicate that there was a positive correlation between the number of views and Google Scholar (r = 0.22, p < 0.01) (1% significant), however, no correlation between views and Scopus (r=0.06, p< 0.01). However, the study shows that positive correlation in cumulative article views and citation, the top 10 viewed articles and citations do not complement each other, articles that have receives maximum views do not necessary result to citation except for one article.
Digital Curation Strategies for Information Management in Higher Education Institutions
(INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 2016-11) Shivarama, J; V, Sheela; Deepak, A B; Agadi, K B
Libraries and archives have been the central institutions that not only house works of value but also focus their efforts for preservation of them for future reuse. The term preservation is thus not unheard of in the traditional library and archival environment where materials in paper, microform, photographic materials are preserved. Preservation involved an array of tools and methodologies developed to reduce the decay of traditional materials and to restore them. The preservation of traditional printed materials however has the advantage that the collections are relatively stable for at least decades if not centuries. The digital information, unfortunately affords no such luxury and are by their very nature ephemeral and fragile, with a lifespan that could be weeks or days if left to themselves. Thus, the digital preservation adds new sets of challenges for libraries and archives. Here we made an experiment on how to manage the information using the digital curation techniques in higher educational institutions.

Glimpse of Semantic Web and its Application Across Industries
(INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar, 2016-11) Jha, Ravi Shankar; Roy, Amartya
The most used tools to access data existing in web are the search engines. Traditional search engines are inefficient in the sense that it produces results that are mostly left for humans to interpret and consume and mostly not specific to the user’s search context. Semantic web creates machine/application readable data. Semantic web extends the traditional search engines and helps them produce context specific and meaningful search results by reading and assimilating the data before producing the search results. Also, Semantic web has been helping in externalizing data for sharing and reusability across users and applications. This paper explains some of the concepts of semantic web, and touches upon some of its industry applications with focus on knowledge/information management and sharing.
