Unveiling Users Perspective

The public library is an abode of information and knowledge, committed to education, culture, and Library advocacy. Though public libraries are called “people’s University” and cater to varied categories of users and their infinite information needs without any discrimination but still in India many such libraries are still not providing effective services to the user community.

Well, the present study attempts to check out the ground reality of the State Central Library along with 2 District Libraries of the State of Haryana in terms of library collection, services, facilities, and user satisfaction. A descriptive survey research design was employed, and 500 library users across three public libraries were surveyed using a structured questionnaire, out of which 396 responses(n=396) were found eligible for the analysis.

The findings suggest that the Haryana government should increase funding to public libraries to acquire adequate information resources and ICT facilities, thereby increasing the utilization of public libraries and meeting the information needs of the users.

Image Processing Technology in Book Metadata Extraction System Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Extracting book metadata by retyping the identity of the book, such as the author's name, book title, publisher, and several other identities, is a routine that is carried out repeatedly at the Polewali Mandar district library, this activity takes much of time, using several staff and it turns out that this activity has much potential for input errors. Errors in extracting book metadata will result in errors in the book repository system database, resulting in difficulty finding and using books or book data information. This problem can be solved by creating a book metadata extraction system using image processing technology and OCR. This study aims to design a scanner technology to extract book metadata. Accuracy is carried out in 2 stages, the first validation of image extraction results using the ROC method and the second validation by directly matching the result of extracting the book's metadata with the actual book. The results of this study indicate that the system has worked with an accuracy of 98.78% with an average detection time of 1.49 seconds and has succeeded in presenting the extraction results on the website page.
