Factors fostering the success of IoT services in academic libraries: a study built to enhance the library performance

PurposeIn the modern era, libraries confront significant service challenges. Some challenges are linked to information resource management which includes direct availability of information for immediate decision making. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a recent technological shift that library personnel should be aware of because it has the potential to enhance information resource management. The purpose of the research is to highlight the willingness to adopt IoT technology in libraries.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a quantitative research design in which a survey of public sector universities in Nanjing, China, is conducted to investigate the determinants of IoT adoption intention in libraries. A total of 389 responses were captured from experienced library personnel. The literature on technology adoption is then used to formulate quantitative theories. For data analysis, partial least squares structural equation modeling using SmartPLS.FindingsThe research highlights the various success factors which support the IoT service adoption process. It is concluded that IoT augmented services in academic libraries must be supported through robust management practices and effective utilization of technological resources. Many libraries have made substantial modifications to their structure in terms of technology and design to satisfy the demands of patrons.Originality/valueThis is an empirical paper that looks at IoT adoption intention in libraries using a quantitative approach through surveying library personnel. The library personnel can aid in the understanding of the motivations behind technology adoption in libraries, particularly of IoT services that may bring about advances in the libraries' capability to provide information access services.

New Model Construction of Enterprise Information Resource Management under e-Commerce

Enterprise information resource management is one of the important branches in the field of information resource management, and it is also the focus and hot spot of information resource management academic research. The arrival of e-commerce era brings opportunities and challenges to enterprise information resource management, which will enter a new stage. Under the environment of e-commerce, the organic combination of enterprise resource planning, supply chain management, customer relationship management, and e-commerce will become an urgent and inevitable choice for enterprises. The purpose of this paper is to establish an innovative model of enterprise information resource management in the e-commerce environment. Combined with the enterprise information resource management in the e-commerce environment, this paper studies the model framework, theoretical system, and technical implementation method of enterprise information resource management. According to the research status of enterprise information resource management, this paper analyzes the enterprise information resource management under the e-commerce environment and adopts the experimental method of simulating the information resource management environment. The idea of “three networks” + “three systems” is put forward. The experimental results show that in 2019, the investment of e-commerce enterprises in hardware products decreased by 3.3% and the proportion of software and information services increased by 2% and 1.3%, respectively. The enterprise information resource management model constructed in this paper has very important practical significance.

Developing a Taxonomic Framework of Security Methods for Security Management and Information Resource Management

People who are concerned with security (such as security professionals) are naturally interested in methods of achieving security. This paper proposes an approach to creating a taxonomic framework of security methods. The taxonomic framework is developed using facet analysis based on a tetra-facet model of security, which identifies four facets of security: subject/scope of security, object of protection, source of insecurity, and method of protection. The taxonomic framework of security methods is created by combining two of the facets: source of insecurity and method of protection. The taxonomic framework of security methods can be integrated with the taxonomic framework of security (which was developed in a previous study), and can be used for security management and the management of information resources related to security and security methods.

MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING AS AN ELEMENT OF INFORMATION RESOURCES MANAGEMENT OF AN ENTERPRISE

The questions of the information resources organization and formation mechanism of an enterprise through financial and managerial reporting data and accounting data prism are highlighted. The sequence formation elements and enterprise information resources use are considered. The formation of the enterprises information resource, based on managerial accounting, is studied, which is a priority aspect of modern decision-making support, as well as other components of business tools - financial management and audit. Information resource management has certain functions that are general and inherent in all business systems. The nature of the prepared reports and information filling of the financial statements are subordinated to general objectives. That is, it contains a range of financial information that should be publicly available and useful to a wide range of users and decision-making, and not specifically devised to the needs of a particular group or set of decision-making. Managerial reports are specialized reports that are designed either for a solution of a specific decision or for a specific manager. The directions of the information resource management development on the basis of information technology use and information technology impact on the accounting development are disclosed.
