This small citation study carried on the honour of our friendship reveals following figures (based on open database Google Scholar <more comprehensive than WoS) and open bibliometric indicator H-index <more resonable than IF>); Infact i'm now exploring the possibilities of open citation framework (ofcourse alongside the main busines OSS and Open stamndards).

Full explanation: ‘Half-Life’ in the context of library materials. How is it calculated?
by Pawan Agrawal 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Dear library Professionals, You must have remember about a question asked in UGC NET exam last Sunday. We were asked a question about *half life in context of library material and its calculation*. As per the question it's indication was about library material and in that case we can not exclude books half life. I have browsed a lot on this question and received a lot on citation only. cited half life, citing half life, citation half life etc. which was covering only journal or periodicals half life. There was almost nothing on books or other library material. Some how I could get some hints of it and I though I must share it with all of you. I have prepared a short answer of this question which I feel would be useful for you. *Half life concept in Bibliometrics* Half life is a method though to be practical for evaluating the usefulness of specific library material examines citation half life (for journals) and use half life (for books and other material). Half life studies attempt to evaluate the length of time in which a journal or book is used, either as resources as indicated by citation, or physical use as indicated by circulation (books). Tsay (1998) examines journal or book “life” based on uses as demonstrated by citation or circulation. The premises “half life” in bibliometrics is to determine when half of all the active literature of a field has been published, or the time period that includes half of more of the references made. Short half life, whether citation based or use based which means more than 50% of the use or the citations occurred in a short period of time, implies “new volumes of a title are generally used more often than older volumes”. Half life studies may suggest which library resources are most used, but may also exaggerate use in that there are more publications now than previously. There have been suggestions that half life studies could identify which resources are least used, resulting in a list of items for considered for discontinuation of write off. Caution should be taken in applying such a plan; the mission of the institution, the orientation and the behavior of the users, and any possible other contributors to low use, such as inaccessibility, should be considered. 1995(9 citation or no item issued in a year) 1996 (6) 1997(7) 1998(6) 1999(7) 2000(7) 2001(7) 2002(3) 2003(7) 2004(5) 2005(7) 2006(2) 2007(5) 2008(2) 2009(2) 2010 (1) *Half life on the basis of Citation:* This can be achieved by subtracting the publication year of the source documents from the median publication year of the documents that cite the source document. We take an example of the data given above. Here, in this example citation data is given for a certain article which was published in 1994. In the table above the account of the citation received by the article from 1995 to 2010 is given. Total number of documents citing this article in period of 16 years is 83. It is also possible that total 83 documents are published during this period on the subject of the article published in 1994. Now If we take out median of the publication date of citing documents it will come 42, which is received in year 2000. Then, 2000 minus 1994 equals six years. So the half life of the article published in 1994 would be of 6 years. *Half life on the basis of circulation: *This can be achieved by subtracting the acquisition year of the source item from the median of issue years of the document. We can take an example again of the data given above. A resource acquired by a library in the year 1995. The statistics given above are of the circulation in the period of 16 years. Total number of issue of this book in period of 16 year is 83 and the median as similar of the above example comes 42, which is achieved in year 2000. Then, 2000 minus 1995 equals five year. So the half life of the item received in 1995 would be of 5 years. Comments are welcome -- Join hands, Join eLibrarian www.grou.ps/elibrarian Thanks and Regards ------ *Pawan R.

Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2011 11:41:25 +0000 From: MN Seetharaman <mns27(a)hotmail.com> Dear Sri Prabhu, UGC has issued guidelines reg. physical stock verification of library books and write-off loss under certain limits of the books found rmissing or damaged during physical verification, provided the loss is not due to fraud, theft or negligence. The Physical Verification Committee has to make recommendations in this regard. The Librarian can not be held responsible unless he failed in his duties in not properly monitoring the issue and recall of books loaned to the users. In order to minimize the loss of books, you need to develop a good, computerized circulation system with provision for imposing fines for late or non-return of books by users. Please visit and study the modern library circulation systems in force in reputed libraries like NAL Bangalore, IISc, IIt Libraries and others.

On receipt of a written request from the Chief Librarian, the Principle shall appoint two members from the faculty for weeding of outdated, worn-out and/or seriously damaged or mutilated books and other materials. They shall submit their recommendations to the competent authority (the Vice Chancellor) for the write-off of such materials. 2. The concerned site librarian shall submit complete bibliographic detail of all books/non-print materials damaged, and/or worn-out through fair wear and tear to the Chief Librarian after physical verification. The Chief Librarian shall forward the same report to the competent authority for write-off action. 3. Losses to the extent of 3% per annum of the available stock in an open access library shall be written off by the competent authority. 4. Losses to the extent of 2% per annum of the available collection of a close access or partially open access library shall be written off by the competent authority. 5. Losses written off by the competent authority shall be struck-off from the stock and the records of the library, including public catalogues, and transferred to the withdraw register indicating the authority under which the losses were written off. 6. The permanent irrecoverable loans of mutilated, damaged and worn-out books found to be beyond repairs during the physical verification of the library shall also be reported to the competent authority for write-off. 7. For the losses beyond 3%, the Library Staff will be jointly responsible to make up the loss in accordance with their official status.

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile, Mysore Road, Bangalore 560 059 Seminar on CPM and PERT in Library Management Abstract: CloseCloseFrequently asked questions about RSS feeds In this seminar I am going to discusses two techniques of systems analysis, Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation Review Techniques (PERT), and their place in library management. The techniques discussed can be used by library managers to structure various tasks and to ascertain start and finish dates and resource allocations. Introduction A project is a group of activities with a beginning and an end. Complex projects like for example moving a library etc require that multiple activities be carried out simultaneously. Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation Review Techniques (PERT) are systematic techniques which can be used when there is N number of ways to achieve a particular objective. They enable the project manager to schedule and to manage successful completion of a project. Both techniques are widely used in the field of librarianship. The basic purpose of both techniques is to subdivide a complex project into a series of shorter independent tasks, and then to see which ones are crucial and necessary for the overall completion of the project crucial in the sense that any delay in a particular job results in a delay of the entire project. This seminar discuss the two techniques in detail while tracing the basic difference in approaches and their applications for Librarianship.
