This study analyzes the trend and spatial distribution of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases with geographic information systems approach from January 23, 2020, to January 1, 2021. The prevalence of COVID-19 on the tested population, the case fatality rate, and cured rate in Nepal was ~13.00%, ~0.71%, and ~96.97%, respectively. The prevalence (~1.87) and death rate (~1.28 times) were higher among men than women and ~68% of fatal cases were with comorbidities—distinctly hypertension and chronic kidney diseases. The distribution of COVID-19 cases was heterogeneous across all administrative regions, mainly in Kathmandu valley and Bagmati Province. Confirmed and cured cases showed an upward trend till the end of October 2020 followed by a downward trend as of January 1, 2021. In the present scenario of the ongoing pandemic in Nepal, one of the better strategies to prevent and control the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) could be monitoring using geographic information systems and spatial analysis.

This article is an attempt to develop Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology into an analytical tool for examining the relationships between the height of the bookshelves and the behavior of library readers in utilizing books within a library. The tool would contain a database to store book-use information and some GIS maps to represent bookshelves. Upon analyzing the data stored in the database, different frequencies of book use across bookshelf layers are displayed on the maps. The tool would provide a wonderful means of visualization through which analysts can quickly realize the spatial distribution of books used in a library. This article reveals that readers tend to pull books out of the bookshelf layers that are easily reachable by human eyes and hands, and thus opens some issues for librarians to reconsider the management of library collections.
