Strategies for Collecting Electronic Resources on the Qur’Anic Researches
International Journal on Quranic Research (IJQR) © 2013 Centre of Quranic Research Vol.3, No. 4, June 2013, Pp. 57-78 (CQR), University of Malaya, Malaysia STRATEGIES FOR COLLECTING ELECTRONIC RESOURCES ON THE QUR’ANIC RESEARCHES Amar Arbaoui, Yasser M. Alginahi & Mohamed Menacer ABSTRACT Electronic dissemination of digital information has benefited from recent advancements in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and dissemination of Islamic digital content in different formats has taken advantage of this rapid progress in technology. Information is available in many formats and on many different applications and devices. However, the online availability of such resources on Qur’an and its sciences is very limited. In this work, digital Qur’an resources available from authentic sources will be used to formulate strategies on how to extract, format, present and make these resources available for researchers in a centralized knowledgebase. The methodology starts with collecting these authentic electronic Islamic resources. Next, resources are classified into their main categories, sub-categories and related categories. Then, the list of metadata for each type of resource is developed. Following this, strategies for efficient dissemination for the different types of digital resources are developed; depending on the format of the files, the metadata is extracted automatically, if possible, otherwise data is entered manually into the knowledgebase. Therefore, the manual entry of data into the knowledgebase for resources having poor or lacking metadata would efficiently help researchers to easily locate the resources they are searching for. Developing these strategies for each type of format could efficiently help in the search process. From the data collected so far, the amount of data gathered shows that books contribute to the highest number of resources available in this area followed by post graduate dissertations, conference papers and journal papers respectively. -
Tara Wink. Archival Collection Development Policies: a Study of Their Content and Collaborative Aims
Tara Wink. Archival Collection Development Policies: A Study of their Content and Collaborative Aims. A Master's paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. April, 2010. 58 pages. Advisor: Christopher Lee Collection development is an important aspect of archival theory and work; however, few studies have looked at collection development in practice. It has also been suggested that collection development policies and plans can help to limit competition by including discussions of collaborative agreements. This paper describes a study of online archival collection development policies to determine what these documents contain and whether or not collaboration and competition are discussed. This study searched the websites of 334 repositories’ to identify online collection development policies. Available policies were then coded using the 26 elements defined in Faye Phillips’ 1984 guidelines for archival collection development policies. Available discussions of collaboration within the policies were also coded. The results suggest that repositories are using a variety of materials when writing policies and collaborative agreements in policies are the exception rather than the rule. Headings: Archives.

Reconsidering Library of Congress Classification in US Law Libraries
LAW LIBRARY JOURNAL Vol. 106:1 [2014-5] It’s All Enumerative: Reconsidering Library of Congress Classification in U.S. Law Libraries* Kristen M. Hallows** Ms. Hallows investigates the widespread use of the Library of Congress Classification system in U.S. law libraries and the difficulties it can present in some circumstances. To address these problems, she proposes that smaller law libraries that do not par- ticipate in a bibliographic utility may benefit from an in-house classification scheme. Introduction ¶1 At its most basic level, the human impulse to classify emerges from our strong desire to know what to expect. New things that resemble familiar things need little or no further examination. Quite simply, “we know what to expect of a dog or a banana, since they are similar to dogs and bananas we already know.”1 ¶2 Classification also provides a means of organization. One of the most fun- damental concepts learned in a library and information science program is that we organize to retrieve; therefore, classification is not only helpful but also necessary if we are to benefit from the information we acquire and produce. Further, we may also classify to facilitate browsing and therefore discovery—even in an online envi- ronment such as the library catalog,2 though physical collections are the focus of this article. ¶3 In an increasingly digital world, classification may seem like a quaint notion from the past. In a database, it is unnecessary to store records using any particular system, as long as those records relevant to a search are displayed or sorted in a useful way. -

Universal Decimal Classification and Colon Classification: Their Mutual Impact
Annals of Library and Information Studies Vol. 62, December 2015, pp. 226-230 Universal Decimal Classification and Colon Classification: Their mutual impact Amitabha Chatterjee Retired Professor & Head, Department of Library & Information Science, Jadavpur University, Kolkata 700032, Email: [email protected] Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), being a predecessor of Colon Classification (CC), had impacts on CC in various ways – directly as well as indirectly.

In the United States, public libraries have been woven into the social and spatial fabric of neighborhood life, whether urban, suburban, or rural, and they enjoy immense popularity: According to a 2014 study from the Pew Research Center (2014), 54 percent of people in the United States use a public library each year, 72 percent of people live in a household with a regular library user, and libraries are viewed as important community resources by 91 percent of people. As library historian Wayne Wiegand (2011) has repeatedly pointed out, there are more public libraries in the United States than there are McDonald’s.
