Big Data V/S Small Data
by Vasanth 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

Dear sir, Data is facts and figures and if that is generated in huge quantity that can be called big data. Librarians for long have been involving in processing huge quantum of data generated through various means such as patrons data, usage statistics of various kinds for example opac search data etc. Bibliometrics itself is an example for big data. Bringing context through data analysis to big data (any kind) has become much easier in recent times through machine. Imagine a city traffic data could it be possible to collect all that previously, now technology has made it possible and also helps in processing this for identifying some pattern to identify solutions to existing traffic problems. For librarians big data is not new. But over the years the name big data has attracted the masses in a big way because of the data generated in social media and the opportunity it has provided to analyze them with lightning speed. Big data can also be a big brother remember Cambridge analytica . Data is oil, data is money, data is gold. So it is big data! (Jokingly). ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.Mysore

Dear all I have seen many lecture and people talking about Big data but I could not understand how this concept is helpful for the library professionals and library patrons. What a library professionals can do with big data if we don't understand properly how to handle small data of catalogue, Digital repositories, etc. Please educate me being academic librarian what I can do with big data and where I can find it in library? Is there any relevance of this concept for libraries in Indian context or at present it is one of the topic to speak and keep in syllabus/conferences? Thanking You

Workshop on "Interactive Data Storytelling and Visualization" on 14th December 2019 (Saturday)
by Vijay Vikram S Parihar 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Dear Professional, We invite you to participate in a Workshop on "Interactive Data Storytelling and Visualization" which is being organized on 14th December 2019 (Saturday). Background: Any great story means visualization and detail. It takes the small additions of those details to build a picture in someone's mind to truly make the story complete. The same goes for analytics and data. However, interpreting all the data correctly and turning it into a great story can be an intimidating task that many organizations struggle to accomplish. So, what does it mean to "tell a story with data?" Data is just a collection of numbers until you turn it into a story. Showing reports and dashboards can be overwhelming without adding a narrative to the data. Any great insight explains what happened, why it is important and how you can use it to turn it into something actionable. Data visualization is using data and statistics in creative ways to show patterns and draw conclusions about a hypothesis, or prove theories, that can help drive decisions in the organization. Why is it important? Telling a great data-driven story can be useful for both stakeholders and your customers and can drive better decision making within an organization and also drive conversions with your customers. How to join the workshop? Joining this workshop is your first stepping stone in the milestone. If you want to be part of the action and insight, then join the workshop. Some of the leading experts from the industry are going to share their experiences. You will also get hands on experience to work on various tools and techniques. Just fill up the registration form and paying a nominal amount to meet the workshop expenses send it across to us at the earliest. We can accommodate only 50 on first-cum-first basis. To join the workshop, any interested aspirants can send his / her credentials (i.e. Name, Organization name, Address, e.mail ID and Contact Number) through e.mail to <SG.knowledgemanagement(a)gmail.com<mailto:SG.knowledgemanagement@gmail.com>> or <sganguly67(a)gmail.com<mailto:sganguly67@gmail.com>>. With warm regards Shantanu ============================================== Dr Shantanu Ganguly M.Sc, M.InfSc, MBA, PGDCA, PhD Knowledge Management Specialist (L) 011-26272596 (M) 09811330235, 09810223755, 09811018873 (E) <SG.knowledgemanagement(a)gmail.com<mailto:SG.knowledgemanagement@gmail.com>><sganguly67(a)gmail.com<mailto:sganguly67@gmail.com>> Disclaimer : The information contained in this e-mail and any attachments is intended for the person or entity to which it is addressed, and it may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
