What is trend and its characteristics

 A trend is something is developing and changing over the time. Process of trend
which incorporate trends actual adoption, performance.
 It is effective, has more than a year existence, has a high popularity and long
term popularity.
What is lis trend

Libraries are one of the foremost critical social insititutions.no society is complete without a
library storing information ICT have extensively impacted libraries and their services.
Earlier libraries offered manual information resources and services to their user but now
libraries are opening up to digitalization primarily in the form of online libraries, elibraries or
digital libraries.
Different trends of lis

 Electronics resources
 RFID implementation
 Cloud computing
 Internet of things
 Big data and data visualization
 Artificial intelligence
 federated search
ELECTRONIC RESOURCES

 With an increasing selection of ebooks, ejournal and the like,a vast amount of information
is now available digitally.ERM helps librarian keep track of what is and isn’t available.who
is accessing it and what particular items people find most useful.All of this facilities both
collection development and management.

CLOUD COMPUTING
 Just as libraries services have expanded to include access to computers are now
significantly enhance by cloud computing. Which increase the amount of digital
iformation libraries can make available to their patrons.
RFID IMPLEMENTION

 RFID stands for radio frequency identification is the latest technology to be used in
library theft detection system. Rfid based systems move beyond security to become
tracking of materials throughoutthe library, including easier and faster charge and
discharge, inventorying and materials handling.
BIG DATA AND DATA VISUALIZATION

 Big data plays a key role through reducing the data size and complexity in big data
applications. Visualization is an important approach to helping big data get a complete
view of data and discover data values. The challenges of big data visualization are
discussed. New methods, applications,and technology progress of big data visualization are
presented.
Artificial intelligence

 One of the emerging trends and application of computing in libraries.it involves

programming computers to do things, which if done by humans, would be said to require
intelligence.
 federated search

 Fedrated search retrieves information from a variety of source via a search application
built on top of one or more search engine it allow to you search multiple data source at
once. It is enables a user to search several different data sources at once by making a
single query. The fedrator gathers results from one or more search engines and then
presents all of the results in a single user interface.
OPAC

 OPAC stand for online public access catalogue.it enable the librarians to
catalogue different genre of books and maintain its database online.it
allows to user to search books o parameters such as title,autor’s name,
and keyword.only can use who know education of information technology
searching tecniques.
No restriction of time, place etc everyone can use from
anywhere.
Automation

 The application of technology, programs, robotics or processes to achieve outcomes with

minimal human input.Library automation may be defined as the application of computers
to perform traditional. library housekeeping activities such as acquisition, circulation,
cataloguing, and reference and. serials control. Automation is used to reduce the amount of
staff time devoted to repetitive..
 MARC
 Z39
Digitization

 Digitization of information materials is the process of converting analogue information to a

digital format. In digitization process traditional documents such as books, papers,
manuscripts are converted into electronic format i.e. image format which are machine
readable.
 Provide access to materials that can no longer be accessed due to format obsolescence.
Protect original records by reducing frequent handling during reference use or reproduction
through digitization.
Library softwer

 Koha
 Dspace
 Virtua
 Soul
 Evergreen
 Library management
 greenstone
Challenges

lack of awareness; inaccessibility; information explosion; environment; poor infrastructure;

declining budgets and rising costs; staff attitude toward users
 Publication must be published time to time.
 Insufficient resources and facilities in LIS schools.
 Lack of ICT( information communication technology) and latest tools of LIS.
 Lack of communication skills.
 Lack of collaboration between LIS Department.
Recommendations

 To cover the staff deficiency appointment of qualified faculty on regular basis should be
made.
 Workshops, seminar, lecturer and training should be arranged by LIS department.
 Developing communication skills is one of the most neglected areas of professional
development. Short course and workshops must be planned by LIS schools to overcome
this deficiency.
