Museums play very important role in the education, because every museum contains the collection in the form of tangible and intangible heritage. If we talk about tangible heritage then we can include coins, pottery, metal, wooden material etc. and in intangible heritage we can consider craftsmanship, skill demonstration, folk theatre etc., but museums not only preserve the cultural objects but also exhibit to them and museums provide the facilities to the students, and researcher so that these user can use the museum's collection for education purpose. If we teach to the student through object then student can understand easily and he can perceive the concept of object therefore we should visit the museum to students or researchers so that they can research on the original object and there are many more methods of education which can be adopted by the museum for providing the learning opportunities to user. In this paper we will describe some tools and techniques used in the museum that help in giving education.

Themes and examples examined in this chapter discuss the fast growing field of visualization. First, basic terms: data, information, knowledge, dimensions, and variables are discussed before going into the visualization issues. The next part of the text overviews some of the basics in visualization techniques: data-, information-, and knowledge-visualization, and tells about tools and techniques used in visualization such as data mining, clusters and biclustering, concept mapping, knowledge maps, network visualization, Web-search result visualization, open source intelligence, visualization of the Semantic Web, visual analytics, and tag cloud visualization. This is followed by some remarks on music visualization. The next part of the chapter is about the meaning and the role of visualization in various kinds of presentations. Discussion relates to concept visualization in visual learning, visualization in education, collaborative visualization, professions that employ visualization skills, and well-known examples of visualization that progress science. Comments on cultural heritage knowledge visualization conclude the chapter.

Practical Implications

Purpose Using Lean Six Sigma (LSS) implementation literature as an organising framework, the purpose of this paper is to explore the initial steps in a continuous improvement (CI) journey taken by an Irish university in order to identify the motivations, highlight key challenges and considers the capabilities required to initiate and sustain a CI programme. Design/methodology/approach This study focusses on one case organisation. A participative approach is adopted to learn from the initial steps taken in the establishment of a CI programme. Given this approach, the researchers had access to all documents and related archives associated with this initiative. Hence an iterative learning approach is adopted with the analysis of data from the first 12-month plan informing the next planning and implementation phase. Findings This paper provides a reflective account of why and how a university went about commencing a CI programme. The motivation to establish the CI programme not only reflects the current fiscal environment but also one characterised by a need to respond to a number of increasingly demanding stakeholders. The insights gained highlight the importance of alignment with strategy, role of specialists and use of a structured method informed by a LSS approach. Of particular note is the role of expertise, both internal and external, and within this context the interplay between a formal top-down approach and the coming together enthusiast staff, some of whom had CI experience from previous employment. A number of practical implications were identified as a result of the study including the key role of the project sponsor; the criticality of an understanding of the fundamental LSS concepts and tools and techniques by management; and the key role played by improvement specialists. Originality/value While in recent times a strong case for the application of LSS in HEIs has been made, there is a paucity of case studies based on the reflective practice in the field. This paper is novel in that it aims to address this and contribute to an emerging body of CI literature in the HEI area.

In endoscopy, quality improvement (QI) is paramount and integral to Joint Advisory Group (JAG) accreditation. The challenge is to keep staff engaged and enthused in the face of factors that influence their emotions and behaviour. This was demonstrated in the author's endoscopy recovery units being used to cope with an inpatient surge for 14 months, which increased stress, sickness and turnover and lowered compliance with clinical audits. The professional advocate (PA) was tasked with addressing this and established that the QI systems in place were inadequate without investment in the team's human and social capital. The PA acted according to the Advocating and Educating for Quality Improvement (A-EQUIP) model to create a positive environment and support continuous improvement using various wellbeing tools and techniques. Restorative clinical supervision, human factors training and concepts from neurological and social sciences were employed to increase self-awareness, improve attitudes and build resilience in the workforce. These techniques have received positive feedback and become integral to the service. Endoscopy services should prioritise investment in workforce education and wellbeing and adopt the role of PA, which should be considered as part of JAG workforce standards.

Increasing technological advances and its applications in library and information centres and services have enabled users to access voluminous quality information through Internet. No doubt, World Wide Web (WWW) can be considered as one of the most innovative, magnificent and remarkable service of the 21st century. It has become most popular and convenient to share, publish, communicate and disseminate information instantly among researchers, scientist and academic community. The library profession, researchers and scientist are anonymous to agree that social networks and social media have completely revolutionise the ways and means to access, communicate share, and disseminate nascent thoughts, ideas, and information at much faster pace. This networking of information and communication facilities build rapport, connections and collaborations with peer groups, similar organisations and institutions which in turn promotes academic, research and development. The article provides in brief different networking resources, tools and techniques and the significant role of played by social media on researchers and scientist for academic progress and developments.

The objective of this paper is to examine the efficacy of the Knowledge Management (KM) paradigm in the context of UK paramedics’ assessment and treatment of patients with suspected acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or ‘heart attack’. We outline the role of thrombolytic therapy and other aspects of emergency cardiac care and discuss how contemporary KM tools and techniques can be used to support the development and retention of key clinical skills and knowledge in this emerging field of practice. The paper examines some of the key issues posed by the increasing skill base and associated knowledge of Health Professionals such as paramedics and why any KM approach needs to be aware of this in order to ensure optimal clinical practice.

Social interaction technologies can successfully employ the previously untapped power of the web to utilize the collaborative creation of information and user-driven content. In this chapter, the social capital framework is applied to illustrate how Web 2.0 tools and techniques can support effective information and knowledge management in organizations. Interactions within and between organizations generate important practices that underscore the role of social capital. Managing social capital for effective knowledge sharing is a complex process, and Web 2.0 lends some support for organizations by creating a new culture of voluntary, contributive, and collaborative participation. The argument is made that Web 2.0 technologies can be seen as important tools that can bridge the creation and sharing of knowledge in diverse organizational contexts.
