Startup Time

A ten-year study of a group of humanists reveals that temporal factors had a significant impact on their adoption of electronic information technology. This article identifies and describes four types of time that influence humanists’ behavior. Three are types of time spent: anticipated startup time, actual start-up time, and use time; the fourth is time of life, that is, the stage of a scholar’s project or career. Because the content of electronic resources is closely related to use of time, this article also discusses how content affects whether a scholar adopts an electronic resource. Librarians who are sensitive to humanists’ temporal considerations can better help them utilize technology.

] In interpreting courses,it is necessary to use some mechanical euipments and electronic resources for improving interpreting abilities. Some researchers call them as external causes for being sucessful interpreters. Some researchers think that they are regarded as indispensable factors for being sucessful. The authors have researched them with investigation and data processing. From the investigation and data processing,the author has concluded her conclusions from scientific study and detail analysis. The author hopes that her study will be helpful for interpreting reform and researchers for her field. However, with the limitation of research condition, there is still some disadvantages to be overcome for future research, and the author will have to improve them and advance them in her later research.

Study Results

The Ophthalmologists – Eye Doctors continuously seek and use information for their evidence-based practice, career advancements and quality patient care. The study aims to examine and explore the ophthalmologists’ preference towards print vs. electronic information resources. The study design is cross-sectional and convenience sampling method is adopted. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. SPSS 18 PASW Statistical package was used for statistical analysis. Frequencies, percentages, Chi-square and Fishers’ exact test were used in the study. Around 633 ophthalmologists, working in 47 academic eye hospitals from 16 states of India were included in the study. The ophthalmologists prefer electronic resources more than the printed resources as a venue for access and publish. They consider both printed & electronic resources as more authenticated resources than electronic resources. They recognize electronic resources as easy to manage, use, economical, time savvy. They prefer electronic resources more than printed resources to improve their professional competency. The Ophthalmologists’ preference on resource choice doesn’t have any association with gender, age group, designation, experience, institution type. The study results revealed the ophthalmologists’ preferences on print and electronic resources. This will help the ophthalmic librarians to understand the resource choices of the ophthalmologists and manage information resources in libraries effectively. The study results will help the ophthalmic institutions and information providers for future planning

<span>In the fall of 2002, Ohio State University along with the University of Washington, the University of Western Australia, Washington State University, and Glasgow University entered into a development partnership with Innovative Interfaces. The goal was to develop a module to manage electronic resources, integrated into Innovative’s Millennium library system. The product, Electronic Resource Management (ERM), became available in 2004 and is based on the work of the Digital Library Federation Electronic Resources Management Initiative. This article focuses on one aspect of ERM, the integration of the module with the Web OPAC, and describes how the Ohio State University Libraries replaced a back-end database with ERM to support lists of electronic resources on their Web site.</span>

Tremendous Impact

This study was conducted to examine the availability and patronage of electronic resources by male and female students in Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi, Bauchi state, Nigeria. 1500 male and female students formed the population of the study. Survey research method was adopted. Questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. Frequency counts and simple percentages were used in analysing the data collected. The study revealed that female students of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi have rarely patronized electronic resources in the e-library and as such has tremendous impact on their level of awareness on global world of electronic information and thereby would affects their academic performances. The study recommended among others, awareness of the availability of electronic resources in the library and the need for the female students to acquire more skills in the use of electronic resources

This chapter defines metadata, their types, creation, and some of the important functions. It enumerates an overview of the basic elements of the Dublin Core Metadata standard, and other metadata standards are also mentioned. The problem has been studied based on the information available in the open literature. As electronic information resources are rising and digital library initiatives are gaining wide acceptance, knowledge of metadata formats will help our library professionals in adapting their skills in cataloguing, classification, subject heading, key wording, and indexing for better inventory and exhaustive usage of electronic information. Metadata serves three general purposes. It supports resource discovery and locates the actual digital resource by inclusion of a digital identifier. As the number of electronic resources grows, metadata is used to create aggregate sites, bringing similar resources together and distinguishing dissimilar resources. The World Wide Web has created a revolution in the accessibility of digital information resources. Metadata is key to ensuring that resources will survive and continue to be accessible into the future. It can be embedded in a digital object or it can be stored separately like library catalogues. The Dublin Core (DC) is the most popular and widely accepted standard proposed to describe almost all categories of networked electronic resources.
