Research Report
by Dr. Arun Kumar Sinha 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Research Reviews A, PhD study has been completed and submitted for evaluation to the University on the topic entitled “Recent Trends of document Production in Electronic Age and Problems of their Classification in Indian Libraries: An analytical study with special reference to development of notational techniques” under the supervision of Dr. Arun Kumar Sinha, Ex-Course Co-ordinator/Director, P. G. Department of Library & Information Science, & Ex-Coordinator as Resource Person, UGC In-fonet Scheme (VSAT) , T. M. Bhagalpur University,Bhagalpur-812 007 and study completed by Md. Gulnawaz Azam, MLIS,NET,PGDCA, Research Scholar, P. G. Department of Library & Information Science, T. M. Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur-812 007. The present submitted study has been focused mainly for the physical classification problem and carried out on the basis of Ranganathan prominent idea and his already laid facet formula as a tribute to the magic of the colon classification. In the study some useful methods has been incorporated with valuable suggestions in modification for the purpose. The study was centred basically to drove away the blame to Ranganathan that his Colon (CC,6 &7) and CCC both have not made any provision for treating non book material and to retrieve some perfect ways with useful suggestion for adopting such methods of Physical Classification by which the problem of treating specially the electronic form may be eliminated and pinpointed individualization can be achieved to fulfil the demand of Ranganathan 5laws too. It was also main effort of the study to residue out some appropriate means and ways so that the Colon may be used widely as user friendly and the method of Ranganathan for book classification can be used with any classification scheme of any nature or generation background. Thus the four basic characteristics in study have been detected, selected and suggested for the purpose in the study so that it can be easily used on computers. The study is also followed by very useful suggestions and conclusions with a view to be considered by the future generation of LIS subject and the persons involved in the revision task of CC7. However, the suggested method can be tagged with any Library Software as module for generating appropriate Book Number by computer itself with all physical properties and confidentialities of the document. - Dr. Arun Kumar Sinha Contact No(s)-09431095595 or 09470724111or 09546446766 Contact address: 36,Tilak Nagar Kilaghat Road (Sarai) City Post office Bhagalpur-812 002 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Ms Karnik The examples I had is a US public library. In India, an academic library (Indian School of Business, H'bad) allows students to upload electronic stuff on to their iPads and pen drives. I think they also lend handheld devices, but you may check it with Dr S Venkadesan, Director of Knowledge Services at IBS. Best wishes.
