Libraries are changing in every aspect to deal with the information dissemination process mainly pertaining to the form and format of “significant information,” which is the lifeblood of libraries. With copyrights restricting the uncontrolled and unbalanced use of information in the digital format, there is a need to understand that copyrights were brought to balance the synchronization of the creator, publisher, and the users at large. The chapter is an attempt to show the changing perspective of copyright in the digital era, its relevancy in the digital era, and how libraries can get the most out of the various exceptions and provisions provided for the libraries in copyright law, while at the same time striving to balance the copyright as well as solve various problems and issues cropping up from new digital perspectives.

Information Today

This is the Information Age, and that epicenter is information flow and content control. This is the one occupation that is best suited to benefit from this still evolving epoch of human history. In fact, any organization that fundamentally relies on information dissemination as a core resource to their production would seek out information experts as the de facto experts in this field for consultation on how best to handle their large volumes of information. Today, companies are searching for these very professionals and will pay extraordinarily well to have such expertise in their organizations. As long as they change their mindset, evolve from conservative ideologies of what a library professional is, and retain and improve upon the traditional library services while seeking to develop techniques and technologies that effectively handle the workflow of the information dissemination process in a Digital Age—adapting technologies such as the KATIE Index, the MEL System, and the LISA Informationbase for the physical and virtual collection management requirements—most library professionals will be able to focus on becoming information experts and establish their relevance at the very epicenter of business and education. Evolving into the information expert and leveraging new information technologies is where the future of library studies lays in this digital segment of the Information Age. This chapter concludes the first section of the book.

Effective Service

This chapter is on relevance of Web 2.0 for library services in digital era. Web 2.0 tools play crucial role in effective service delivery of librarians. The study covers awareness, utilization, benefits, and challenges that affect the use of Web 2.0 by librarians for effective service delivery. The concepts generally implied that Web 2.0 can be used by librarians as information acquisition tools to gather information from sources outside libraries (e.g., blogs and wikis), information dissemination tools (such as RSS feeds), information organization tools that facilitate storage and subsequent retrieval of information (social bookmarking and tagging), and information sharing tools that facilitate the bilateral flow of information between libraries and patrons (social networking and media sharing sites). This chapter examines the concept of digital libraries and highlights the major features of a digital library and how it can be used. The potentials of digital library are very crucial as means of access to knowledge and information that will facilitate development.

Information Accumulation

Previous research on information dissemination in emergencies focus on prediction of the volume via abundant models. However, most of these models did not specify different stages of emergencies, and hence making it difficult for public relations (PR) practitioner to make decisions based on needs of each stage in today’s rapid changing media environments. In this study, we introduce the idea of system cybernetics and the method of system identification into information dissemination perspective. Based on the proposed information accumulation probability distribution continuity (IAPDC) model, we provide a quantitative division of the information accumulation process. The durations of each stage and the time points that each stage begins are stated and defined with a quantitative calculation method. Using empirical data from 83 emergencies in 2016 and 2017 covering Weibo, WeChat Platforms and over 20,000 web media, we verify the effectiveness of this method. Next, we use simulation analysis to demonstrate what effects of parameters have on the dissemination process and how do changes on different stages affect the process. Moreover, we also demonstrate the effects of emergencies’ attributes on the information dissemination process and on each stage. Our study complements the gaps in existing communication discipline and provides insight for PR practitioner when dealing with enterprise emergencies.

This article uses the vector space model to express microblogging text in quantity, via the cosine of the angle of text clustering method to calculate the similarity between the text. We can generate alternative microblogging hot cluster by centralized method, by adding the "microblogging impact Factor " into vector text mold of alternative hotspot clusters. In order to simulate the exclusive advantage of "star" in the information dissemination process of the real world, we use the alternative hotspot clusters which already weighted the "microblogging impact factor" to re-evaluate its characteristics of vector, to optimize the hot microblogging discovery algorithm and to make the sorting results more in line with the law of information dissemination, finally to give some suggestions and opinions on hot microblogging evaluation method.

A total of 150 recent victims of physical assault were interviewed about their interactions with police officers and were assessed at approximately one month and six months postattack on three measures of psychological distress. Victims of all three crime types— rape, domestic assault, and nondomestic assault—were found to exhibit similar patterns of response to victimization, including significant declines in symptomatology on two of the three measures across the six-month period. While some police actions were approximately equally distributed across crime types, nondomestic assault victims were significantly less likely to receive information on available intervention resources than victims of the other two types of crime. Furthermore, a strong relationship was found between nature of services received and police mention of service availability, suggesting the importance of the police officer in the information dissemination process.

Complete Translation

The complete translation of cultural heritage into a digital format acutely poses the question of art’s place in the digital era. The search for an answer is built upon the foundation of proposed evolutionary models of the genesis of art. Transitional periods from one historical cultural era to the next are characterized by a change in the most popular types of art. The establishment of one or another type of art is rigidly connected with the introduction of new data storage media and coding techniques. The constant increase in the variety of genres and media has culminated in the digital display. The appearance of a universal digital media must be reflected in the energetic reconstruction of the artistic world, but the birth of new types of art will lag behind. Moreover, the problem of the existence or non-existence of art also becomes relevant. In parallel with the elimination of literature, a virtual excarnation of object plasticity is occurring. It is possible that art is irreversibly forsaking sensual and bodily language, but the idea that it is using such an unexpected lexicon in an attempt to break through to the individual directly seems more productive. The purpose of art is to expand the space of consciousness. The digital age is distinguished by its possibility to transform this space in surprising ways. Digitalization of a work has a clear basic similarity to the physiological process of convolution of a sensory signal in the depths of the brain. Computer-based dipoles and neural synapses are binary structures, described in binary symbols. A work that has been translated into digits can be seen as the projection of a certain neural configuration that has come together in the depths of consciousness and is revealed in the form of an image. The likely prospects of obtaining, instead of projections, a multi-dimensional digital display, as well as the potential possibility for the psyche to adequately decipher it, portend a holistic reading of the work and even closer contact between the artist and the addressee. Right on the horizon is the path towards a synthesis of images that go beyond the limits of the usual forms and sensations. And nowadays unimaginable classes of feelings are capable of generating many vibrant “types and genres”. At the same time, threatening to the habitual methods of sensory perception and facilitating the liberation of the spirit, the excarnation of art works promise a categorically new stage in the genesis of art as well as a different level of creation and perception.

Probabilistic Flooding

Information dissemination is an integral part of modern networking environments, such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Probabilistic flooding, a common epidemic-based approach, is used as an efficient alternative to traditional blind flooding as it minimizes redundant transmissions and energy consumption. It shares some similarities with the Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) epidemic model, in the sense that the dissemination process and the epidemic thresholds, which achieve maximum coverage with the minimum required transmissions, have been found to be common in certain cases. In this paper, some of these similarities between probabilistic flooding and the SIR epidemic model are identified, particularly with respect to the epidemic thresholds. Both of these epidemic algorithms are experimentally evaluated on a university campus testbed, where a low-cost WSN, consisting of 25 nodes, is deployed. Both algorithm implementations are shown to be efficient at covering a large portion of the network’s nodes, with probabilistic flooding behaving largely in accordance with the considered epidemic thresholds. On the other hand, the implementation of the SIR epidemic model behaves quite unexpectedly, as the epidemic thresholds underestimate sufficient network coverage, a fact that can be attributed to implementation limitations.
