Item Management of Digital Preservations in Gandhi Smriti Library of LBSNAA, India [paper](2017-05-25) Verma, Om Prakesh; Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of AdministrationBased on rapid improvements in digital mode with the extensive educational contents, the purpose and focus of this paper is to show off the digital collection for the use of Officer Trainees from Indian Civil Services and Civil Servants at different levels in India and in other democratic countries. An attempt has been made to present a case study of developing the digital preservations in the library of LBS National Academy of Administration, India. It will give a brief introduction of the issues which had been considered while setting up a digital project with C-DAC for changing the environment from physical to Digital. The project in Gyanlok section in Gandhi Smriti Library was a voluminously pains-taking and herculean task, which had to be completed with precision, accuracy and commitment to preserve the heritage and historical books in digital mode for the readers in perspective. In this paper, the author describes the work done within Gandhi Smriti Library, LBSNAA. Digital Preservation Group had created a list and description of the functional components of an ideal digital preservation environment for its library. The evolution of Digital environment is evidenced by developments in education & research, and growth of the literature & resources. Information Scientists' skills in surfing, collecting, organizing, evaluating information can contribute to develop a Model of Digital Preservations for the Academicians, Students, Trainees, Researchers, and Civil Servants.Item PerCon: A Personal Digital Library for Heterogeneous Data Management and Analysis(2015-03-31) Park, Su InnSystems are needed to support access to and analysis of larger and more heterogeneous scientific datasets. Users need support in the location, organization, analysis, and interpretation of data to support their current activities with appropriate services and tools. We developed PerCon, a data management and analysis environment, to support such use. PerCon processes and integrates data gathered via queries to existing data providers to create a personal or a small group digital library of data. Users may then search, browse, visualize, annotate, and organize the data as they proceed with analysis and interpretation. Analysis and interpretation in PerCon takes place in a visual workspace in which multiple data visualizations and annotations are placed into spatial arrangements based on the current task. The system watches for patterns in the user?s data selection, exploration, and organization, then through mixed-initiative interaction assists users by suggesting potentially relevant data from unexplored data sources. In order to identify relevant data, PerCon builds up various precomputed feature tables of data objects including their metadata (e.g. similarities, distances) and a user interest model to infer the user interest or specific information need. In particular, probabilistic networks in PerCon model user interactions (i.e. event features) and predict the data type of greatest interest through network training. In turn, the most relevant data objects of interest in the inferred data type are identified through a weighted feature computation then recommended to the user. PerCon?s data location and analysis capabilities were evaluated in a controlled study with 24 users. The study participants were asked to locate and analyze heterogeneous weather and river data with and without the visual workspace and mixed-initiative interaction, respectively. Results indicate that the visual workspace facilitated information representation and aided in the identification of relationships between datasets. The system?s suggestions encouraged data exploration, leading participants to identify more evidences of correlation among data streams and more potential interactions among weather and river data.
