ChatGPT and Its Role in Academic Libraries: A Discussion

The paper aims to discuss ChatGPT and its role in academic libraries. It identifies the key areas where ChatGPT can be implemented in libraries to improve various services and the overall work experience of academics, along with the risk factors associated with ChatGPT. Research finds that ChatGPT can be aided with many library services such as collection development management, virtual reference services, digital information service and library discovery, research writing and publishing, research performance analysis and bibliometric services. It can be helpful for libraries to meet patron requirements, streamline the research process, and increase the efficiency of the library and staff. It reduces the workload of library staff to a certain extent rather than replacing the human librarians as various threats are associated with the ChatGPT, such as incorrect query responses, data protection, misuse, privacy, security, inaccessibility, limited technology comprehension and other ethical issues. It also discusses the limitations and challenges libraries may face while implementing the technology to impart various services. The importance of this study lies in the fact that it acknowledges the reality of ChatGPT and its limitations and how the library will be ready to cope with and deal with the technology in the future.

Deep learning techniques for biometric security: A systematic review of presentation attack detection systems

Biometric technology, including finger vein, fingerprint, iris, and face recognition, is widely used to enhance security in various devices. In the past decade, significant progress has been made in improving biometric systems, thanks to advancements in deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) and computer vision (CV), along with large-scale training datasets. However, these systems have become targets of various attacks, with presentation attacks (PAs) being prevalent and easily executed. PAs involve displaying videos, images, or full-face masks to trick biometric systems and gain unauthorized access. Many authors are currently focusing on detecting these presentation attacks (PAD) and have developed several methods, particularly those based on deep learning (DL), which have shown superior performance compared to other techniques. This survey article focuses on manuscripts related to deep learning presentation attack detection, spoof attack detection using deep learning, and anti-spoofing deep learning methods for biometric finger vein, fingerprint, iris, and face recognition. The studies were primarily sourced from four digital research libraries: ACM, Science Direct, Springer, and IEEE Xplore. The article presents a comprehensive review of DL-based PAD systems, examining recent literature on DL-based PAD methods in finger vein, fingerprint, iris, and face detection systems. Through extensive research of the literature, recent algorithms and their solutions for relevant PAD approaches are thoroughly analyzed. Additionally, the article provides a performance analysis and highlights the most promising research findings. The discussion section addresses current issues, opportunities for advancement, and potential solutions associated with deep learning-based PAD methods. This study is valuable to various community users seeking to understand the significance of this technology and its recent applicability in the development of biometric technology for deep learning.

AWARENESS OF DIGITAL LIBRARIES IN SIVAGANGAI TOWN, SIVAGANGAI DISTRICT, TAMIL NADU: A STUDY

A Digital library, also called an online library, an internet library, a digital repository, a library without walls, or a digital collection is an online database of digital objects that can include text, still images, audio, video, digital documents, or other digital media formats or a library accessible through the internet. Objects can consist of digitized content like print or photographs, as well as originally produced digital content like word processor files or social media posts. Research and practice in digital Libraries (DL) has exploded worldwide in the 1990s. Substantial research findings have become available, libraries are actively involved in Digital Libraries projects and conference, journals and online news lists proliferate. In general, researchers view digital libraries as content collected on behalf of user communities, while practicing librarians view digital libraries as institutions or services. Future trends point toward the need for extensive research in digital libraries and for the transformation of libraries as institutions. This study is to analyze the awareness on Digital Libraries among the users in Sivagangai Town, Sivagangai District, Tamil Nadu

A Narrative Literature Review Of Digital Library Research As A Source Of Learning During Covid-19 In The Google Scholar Database

The existence of the Covid-19 pandemic requires all people to stop and shift all activities outside the home to be all online, including in the education sector. The distance learning system requires learners to adapt to this new learning pattern. The existence of a digital library helps all the information needs of users during the Covid-19 pandemic through its various services that provide easy access to information needed by the public effectively. The preparation of research is intended to determine the role of digital libraries in supporting learning and providing credible information to the public by analyzing research themes/topics, research methods, and research results. This study applies a narrative literature review type literature study method to five reference sources indexed in Google Scholar with a span of the last ten years. The results showed that digital libraries with various types of services they offer can maintain the quality of information circulating among the public and facilitate access to information so that the teaching and learning process, research and development of science becomes smoother and easier even during the Emergency of the Covid-19 pandemic. Research on digital libraries uses many types of research methods such as qualitative research methods, literature study methods, and Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methods. From the five references analyzed, it can be concluded that digital libraries can be used as a tool to find and obtain learning resources and relevant information during the Covid-19 pandemic. Digital library management requires reliable librarians as parties who distribute all information and knowledge into digital form.

Indonesian Government’s Motive and Literary Taste: A Perspective on the Translation Funding Program (TFP)

The translation Funding Program (TFP) was initiated concerning the Indonesian government agenda to be the guest of honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair (FBF) 2015. As a result, it produced many Indonesian-English literary translations, particularly the two from Yogyakarta. By applying the Bourdieusian approach to cultural production, this study is arranged to unravel the government’s motive and literary taste behind the execution of that program, especially through the production of two literary works, “Pilgrimage in the Land of Java” and “Jatisaba.” This study is directed to figure out the importance of Indonesian-English translation for Indonesian literature and the criteria of literary works to be involved in such a government program. Therefore, the government’s motive and literary taste behind the TFP can be elaborated further. There are two primary techniques for the data collection in this research; 1. Digital library research is utilized to access relevant information about TFP, and 2. Interview the writers to get information about their experience participating in TFP. All collected data are synchronized in the analysis to explain the binding knot among the literary translation production, TFP, and FBF. As a result,the study reveals that there were some motives behind the production of literary translation through the TFP. Those motives were also related to the literary taste influenced by international demand.

Between persuasion and courtesy: Polish press advertising, ca. 1850–1939

PurposeEarly Polish press advertising (between 1850s and 1939) was characterized by a distinctive and today’s extinct combination of elements of persuasion and exceptional courtesy toward potential customers. The purpose of this paper is to show the place of customer psychology in the earliest Polish advertising textbooks in the context of the actions of Polish press advertisers at that time, convinced of the susceptibility of their recipients to courtesy, appreciation and flattery.Design/methodology/approachHistorical method based on archival research in Polish digital libraries was used with the aim of identifying and analyzing primary sources, enriched by examples of advertisements from pre-1939 newspapers and historical periodicals illustrating the phenomenon in question and by the findings of more recent Polish-language research papers.FindingsThe issue of courtesy was, in fact, discussed by many authors of Polish advertising textbooks in the period under study. They viewed excessive courtesy in print advertising as an unmodern approach. However, empirical research from 1936 has been preserved which proves that a combination of persuasion and courtesy in advertising was perceived as most effective by its target groups.Originality/valueThis study introduces hitherto unknown Polish marketing thought and practice, drawing on the earliest, mostly forgotten Polish marketing textbooks and other primary sources from the years 1896 to 1939. Thus, this study contributes to the body of research on the history of advertising.

Ontology for the User-Learner Profile Personalizes the Search Analysis of Online Learning Resources

We hope to contribute to the field of research in information technology and digital libraries by analyzing the connections between Thematic Digital Universities and digital user-learner profiles. Thematic Digital Universities are similar to digital libraries, and focus on creating and indexing open educational resources, as well as improving learning in the information age. The digital user profile relates to the digital representation of a person’s identity and characteristics. In this paper we present the design of an ontology for the digital User-Learner Profile (OntoULP) and its application program. OntoULP is used to structure a user-learner’s digital profile. The application provides each user-learner with tailor-made analyses based on informational behaviors, needs, and preferences. We rely on an exploratory research approach and on methods of ontologies, user modeling, and semantic matching to design the OntoULP and its application program. Any user-learner could use the OntoULP and its application program.

Diachronic delta: A computational method for analysing periods of accelerated change in literary datasets

Abstract In his recently published book Distant Horizons (2019), Ted Underwood argues that literary change takes place incrementally. By analysing a dataset of English language fiction obtained from the digital research library HathiTrust, Underwood demonstrates that from the early 18th to the 21st century, literature written in English evinces a steady increase in words associated with physical description, concrete nouns as well as sensory perception and that this increase is accompanied by a proportional decrease in words associated with politics, economics as well as religion (Underwood 25). This article represents an effort to test Underwood’s incremental hypothesis by operationalizing Peter W.H. Smith and W. Aldridge’s cosine distance-based emendation to John Burrows’ ‘Delta’ method (Smith, P. W. H. and Aldridge, W. (2011). Improving authorship attribution: optimising burrows’ delta method. Journal of Quantitative Linguistics 18(1): 63–88). By applying cosine Delta across time rather than as it is conventionally applied, across text (Evert, Stefan et al. Understanding and Explaining Delta Measures for Authorship Attribution. Digital Scholarship in the Humanities 32 (suppl_2) (2017): ii4–ii16), we can identify particular years as being associated with extensive amounts of ‘novelty’ (which years introduce the most amount of distance from their predecessors) and also possess extensive amounts of ‘resonance’ (are relatively proximate to their successors). According to Alexander T.J. Barron et al.’s method for analysing the parliamentary debates of the French revolution, agents within a dataset which have high amounts of novelty and high amounts of resonance are both innovative and influential, as they are significantly different from the years which come before and relatively similar to the years which come after. We might refer to these years as ‘breaks’ and contrast their behaviour with the longue-durée approach otherwise prevalent within the computational literary studies discourse. Though, as this article demonstrates, Underwood’s hypothesis of incremental change remains robust when considering the changes which come over the novel from the mid-18th to the early 20th century, applying this method to poetic and dramatic production over the same period of time, thereby examining the distinct ways in which novelty and resonance behave, allow us to modulate Underwood’s hypothesis and to understand literary history within a more conjunctural framework.

A comparative analysis on digital libraries and academic search engines from the dual-route perspective

Purpose Digital libraries and academic search engines have developed as two important online scholarly information sources with different features. The purpose of this study is to compare digital libraries and academic search engines from the perspective of the dual-route model. Design/methodology/approach Research hypotheses were developed. Potential participants were recruited to answer an online survey distributing at Chinese social media out of which 251 responses were deemed to be valid and used for data analysis. The paired samples t-test was used to compare the means. Findings Both information quality (central route) and source credibility (peripheral route) of digital libraries are significantly higher than those of academic search engines, while there is no significant difference between digital libraries and academic search engines in terms of affinity (peripheral route). Practical implications In the digital information society, the important status of digital libraries as conventional information sources should be spread by necessary measures. Academic search engines can act as complementary online information sources for seeking academic information rather than the substitute for digital libraries. Practitioners of digital libraries should value the complementary role of academic search engines and encourage users to use academic search engines while emphasizing the importance of digital libraries as conventional information sources. Originality/value According to the dual-route model, this study compares digital libraries and academic search engines in terms of information quality, source credibility and affinity, which the authors believe presents a new lens for digital libraries research and practice alike.

Understanding extended information seeking

PurposeThis study aims to explore the mechanisms of extended information seeking, which is the combination of extended information technologies (IT) use behavior and information-seeking behavior. The purpose is to identify the factors that shape extended information seeking from the perspectives of psychological empowerment and attachment.Design/methodology/approachA research model was developed based on prior theory and literature. Survey data were collected, and the partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling was used to verify the research model.FindingsPsychological empowerment is a well-constructed second-order construct, having a larger positive effect on extended information seeking. Digital libraries attachment has a positive effect on extended information seeking.Practical implicationsAccessing digital libraries does not mean using digital libraries effectively. Managers of digital libraries should design various specific information activities to help users enhance psychological empowerment. They should provide more available and responsive services for users to enhance digital libraries attachment.Originality/valueDrawing on the adaptive structuration theory, this study examines extended information seeking by combining extended use of digital libraries and information seeking, presenting a new lens for digital library and information seeking research.

Comparing digital libraries with social media from the dual route perspective

PurposeDigital libraries and social media have emerged as two prominent online information sources with different characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to compare digital libraries and social media from the perspective of the dual route model which outlined a general framework of central and peripheral route-induced attitude change.Design/methodology/approachResearch hypotheses were developed and data collected from users of digital libraries and social media were used for data analysis. The paired samples t-test was employed to compare the means.FindingsBoth central route (information quality) and peripheral route (source credibility and reputation) of digital libraries are higher than those of social media.Practical implicationsThe important status of digital libraries as conventional information sources should be propagated by various “marketing” ways. Managers of digital libraries should encourage their users to use both digital libraries and social media so that some unique advantage of social media could usefully complement digital libraries. They should also recognize the challenge brought by social media and try various ways to enhance reputation.Originality/valueBuilding on the dual route model, this study compares digital libraries and social media in terms of the central route and peripheral route, which the authors believe presents a new lens for digital library research and practice alike.

Analisia Kegagalan Pengajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam secara Klasikal dalam Perspektif Komunikasi Verbal Monologis

Implementation of 2013 Curriculum in Indonesia with a scientific approach shows that most learning activities are directly related to communication. This study aims to describe: failure of teaching classical Islamic education in a monological verbal communication perspective. This research is "Digital Library Research" The research data used is secondary data. The data collection technique used by the authors in this study is documentation. Data processing is carried out by conducting study activities, verification and reduction, grouping and systematization, and interpretation or interpretation so that a phenomenon has social, academic, and scientific value. While the data analysis in this study was carried out during and after data collection using descriptive-critical-comparative methods, and content analysis methods. From the results of the analysis concluded that: failure of teaching Islamic religious education classically in the perspective of monological verbal communication is influenced by several factors including 1) Psychological reasons: That there can be some students who can not catch what the teacher said well and there are also some students who have limitations to understand teacher explanations, and some are not able to digest various teacher explanations for too long, or some have various limitations in some of the above aspects, simultaneously, so that the effectiveness of teaching becomes very disturbed. 2) Emotional Reason: That indeed there are students who have limitations in learning participation in Islam because of the form of delivery, either because they are in an angry atmosphere, feel embarrassed because of being humiliated by the teacher, fear or feeling displeased with the teacher delivering the subject of Religious Education Islam. All these emotional symptoms will interfere with the effectiveness of delivering teaching materials from the teacher to students. 3) Cultural Reasons (Culture): namely that among students there are those who have cultural constraints in the communication process, such as weaknesses in understanding various clues, or weaknesses in understanding the symbols used in communication, so that the process of delivering information on Religious Education becomes ineffective. Personal reasons, which can occur if there are students who are personally really not interested in listening to the delivery of Islamic Education teaching materials from the teacher, although many of them like it
