NSF report on global shares of S&E article output
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 18 May '14

18 May '14

A recent report from the US National Science Foundation, Science and Engineering Indicators 2014 summarizes the outputs of Academic S&E Research. It is interesting to note that the percentage of output from American and European nations are coming down and Chinese percentage is increased close to 4 times. India is also making progress, but not as China does!! Global shares of S&E article output of the United States, the European Union (EU), and Japan have declined. China’s global share has risen sharply. * The United States, the world’s second-largest producer, accounted for 26% of the world’s total S&E articles in 2011, down from 30% in 2001. The share for the EU, the world’s largest producer, also declined, from 35% in 2001 to 31% in 2011. Japan’s share fell from 9% to 6%. * China grew the fastest among larger developing economies, with its share rising from 3% to 11%. China has become the world’s third-largest producer of scientific articles, after the EU and the United States. * Brazil and India also grew rapidly, with their global shares reaching 2% and 3%, respectively. Iran, a developing nation with a much smaller publication base in 2001, grew to a 1% global share by 2011.

Thirty years of Information Technology (Vandana Mahajan-Emerald)
by Vandana Mahajan 16 May '14

16 May '14

Emerald Group Publishing Limited Abstract: Purpose - This issue of Library Hi Tech aims to offer a retrospective over the last 30 years of information technology as used in libraries and other memory institutions, particularly archives and museums. This Editorial will add the Editor's reflections. Design/methodology/approach - The method uses historical documentation and relies heavily on personal recollection. Findings - Thirty years ago information technology in libraries largely had to do with ways in which libraries could make their ordinary operations more efficient. Today the information science frontier has broken out of the comfortable institutional paradigm of the past and made libraries aware that they need to redefine themselves in a world where their buildings no longer represent a storehouse of knowledge unavailable elsewhere. Originality/value - This paper reveals that information technology advances have not made libraries obsolete, but they have made it imperative that libraries redefine their role to be digital information managers and service providers for their readers Vandana Mahajan Account Management Executive Emerald Group Publishing Emerald Group Publishing Limited, Registered Office: Howard House, Wagon Lane, Bingley, BD16 1WA United Kingdom.
