Analysis and Research on Library Management Technology Based on the Integration of Virtual Reality and Management

The library's commitment to being on the forefront of technology, it is able to provide sophisticated services to both its customers and the terminal. Due to the fact that they have access to a greater volume of information, they are in a better position than clients of the centralized digital reading room. In order for learning to be able to satisfy the varied data needs of its constituents, it is required for it to be able to supply knowledge services and carry out its duty of convergence. This is something that can only be done through effective value management that is based on innovative applications of technical solutions. Some of the problems that afflict digital libraries include a lack of forethought and organization, bad software, import constraints on technology, a dearth of experienced staff, a scarcity of standards, and an inability to collaborate with one another. This research proposes employing Eye Movement Technology (EMT) as an automated library administration system in order to assist smart libraries (SLs) in lowering their costs and increasing their output by taking advantage of the opportunities presented by virtual reality. In particular, the purpose of this study is to pave the way for SLs to be able to achieve this aim. Electronic medical technology (EMT) that may be worn on the body is part of the expanding subject of wearable computing, which is a subfield of computer technology. The positions of the eyes' focus sources, visual fields, and gaze vectors are examples of the information that is received from the eyes. The librarians are responsible for monitoring the vast majority of actions that take place inside the library, and this system keeps track of every book that is borrowed from and returned to the collection. As a direct consequence of the recent developments made by EMT-SL, an expanded number of users will soon be able to take advantage of the resources made available by the intelligent library. Users of both conventional virtual reality and augmented reality have the capacity to interact with computer-generated picture models, and both traditional virtual reality and augmented reality have the potential to make individuals visible in a wide range of different environments.

Intelligent Information Service System of Smart Library Based on Virtual Reality and Eye Movement Technology

An innovative system provides intelligent services in the library to both users and the terminal. Compared to the core digital reading room, they can make wise judgments on the retrieval and use of information assets. The implementation of succeeding value management based on the latest technological tools is required for learning to provide knowledge services and fulfil its role as convergence is capable of reacting to varied data needs. The major obstacles to digital libraries are lack of planning and software, import restrictions on equipment, inadequately skilled staff, lack of standards, and a refusal to cooperate. This paper introduces the Eye Movement Technology (EMT) for the intelligent information service system of a smart library (SL) based on virtual reality (VR) strengths as an automated library management system for cost savings and increased output. EMT technology that can identify a person’s appearance and monitor something to look at in real-time is recognized as wearable technology. Visual field position and the gaze vectors for each eye are converted into a data stream that includes the focus origin. Most of the library’s operations can be managed by librarians; in a word, this system allows them to keep track of all of their books’ transactions. The research in EMT-SL technology in the intelligent library system has developed to the point that a wider audience can use it. As a result, eye-tracking in reading rooms and information science research are expected to rise in the future; with the advancement of VR, the computer-generated modelling of images is experienced through special electrical devices, and people can be visible in different climates using traditional VR and augmented reality.

Space-choice behavior for individual study in a digital reading room

The present study used the notion of personal space from environmental psychology and wall-hugging from evolutionary biology to understand student seat preference in a university library's reading room. Recent years have seen an increase in requests for individual study space in academic libraries. To adequately provide such spaces, we require keen observation of human psychology and spatial behavior in the microenvironment of an individual study room. Therefore, we analyzed space-choice behavior and check-in data logs at an academic library rather than subjective self-report surveys, to investigate actual student seat selections through a reservation process. Regardless of increased digital media use in the reading room, the need for personal space and wall-hugging traits were still exhibited. With an increased demand for individual electrical outlets and lighting, study carrels were highly preferred. We found that corner seats were significantly favored, while aisle seats were significantly avoided and prevented extended stays. The presence of walls was favored; however, furniture type significantly affected a preference for the location of walls. Specifically, students in study carrels preferred walls on both sides, while those seated at open tables preferred a wall behind them.

GDPR

This article discusses the main changes to data protection regulation with the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that comes into effect on 25 May 2018. It considers the effect on organizations coming under its jurisdiction through an interview with John Davies, Managing Director of digital agency Reading Room, and then goes on to consider the implications for organizations currently out of the geographical area the GDPR controls. It finally considers the implications for the future as the GDPR becomes established.

User Evaluation of an Innovative Digital Reading Room

Reading room design can have a major impact on radiologists' health, productivity, and accuracy in reading. Several factors must be taken into account in order to optimize the work environment for radiologists. Further, with the advancement in imaging technology, clinicians now have the ability to view and see digital exams without having to interact with radiologists. However, it is important to design components that encourage and enhance interactions between clinicians and radiologists to increase patient safety, and to combine physician and radiologist expertise. The present study evaluates alternative workstations in a real-world testbed space, using qualitative data (users' perspectives) to measure satisfaction with the lighting, ergonomics, furniture, collaborative spaces, and radiologist workstations. In addition, we consider the impact of the added collaboration components of the future reading room design, by utilizing user evaluation surveys to devise baseline satisfaction data regarding the innovative reading room environment.

Effect of Ambient Sound Masking on the Accuracy of Computerized Speech Recognition

To evaluate the direct effect that sound masking has on computerized speech recognition (SR) accuracy in the digital reading room while eliminating the Lombard effect. This study complies with HIPAA requirements, and the institutional review board determined that approval was not required; informed consent was obtained. Ten radiologists digitally recorded 20 selected reports. Recorded reports were transcribed by using a commercial SR system at sound-masking levels 1-4, representing lowest to highest A-weighted sound pressure measurements in decibels. Dictated reports were compared with original reports to determine numbers of errors. A repeated-measures analysis of variance was used for overall comparison of mean percentage of transcription inaccuracies across sound-masking levels, and paired t tests were used to compare each sound-masking level to the baseline. Mean percentage of transcription inaccuracies at baseline was 11.6% (range, 6.3%-26.1%). Mean percentages of transcription inaccuracies at sound-masking levels 1-4 were 11.3%, 12.3%, 13.0%, and 13.6%, respectively. Mean percentages of transcription inaccuracies differed across all sound-masking levels (P < .001) but not between baseline and sound-masking level 1 (P = .313). Mean percentages of transcription inaccuracies at sound-masking levels 2-4 were each significantly higher than at baseline (P < .01 for each). Low-level sound masking provided slightly but not significantly improved SR accuracy, whereas higher levels decreased transcription accuracy. Appropriate levels of sound masking in reading room environments may decrease the negative effect of ambient noise without a deleterious effect on SR accuracy.

Auf dem Weg zum digitalen Lesesaal

Since recent years, digitization has gained an increasing importance in archives, libraries, and museums. Today it is used as the one and only possibility to allow a broader use of historical materials, which otherwise has to be blocked, mostly because of brittle consistency. These aspects imply consequences for the organization of reading rooms. The genealogic archive in Bruhl has decided to realize a digital reading room where most of its collections can be used in digital formats. This contribution outlines the necessary technical and organizational activities, describes the collections which are prepared for digitization and presents a new developed presentation.

Collaborating on Electronic Course Reserves to Support Student Success

As we move into an era in which an increasing amount of information is available in digital form and more universities and colleges are providing distance education courses, electronic course reserves are becoming an essential part of library services. The Digital Reading Room (DRR), an Athabasca University collaboratively developed e-reserves system, facilitates immediate student access to faculty selected, course specific resources in a variety of media and promotes increased use of electronic information resources. To encourage student success in a digital environment, the Library has worked with Faculty to create information literacy tools designed to help students become better researchers and information consumers.
