Title: Exploring information seeking pathways of inhabitants about cyclones: a mixed method approach Authors: Chakraborty, Sarthak; Chaudhuri, Sabuj Kumar Abstract: The study explores the information needs, information source selection and barriers in information seeking of the residents regarding cyclones. Fifty semi-structured interviews and 471 questionnaires yielded data from the population sample of Sundarbans, a coastal region of West Bengal, India. Findings show that after receiving the warnings, respondents preferred to depend on human sources and, to some extent, media sources for alert verification and confirmation. Human sources were most trusted in informal discussion for subsequent information seeking to pursue informed decisions against cyclones. Page(s): 99-108

Title: Infodemic during the COVID-19 pandemic: A study of University of Delhi LIS students Authors: Madhusudhan, Margam; Nidhi Abstract: Fake news, misinformation and cybercrimes were rampant during the pandemic. To understand the perception of LIS students about infodemic, we carried out an online survey of 146 University of Delhi LIS students who enrolled during 2020-2021. We received one hundred and thirty-three responses. It was found that most of the students came across fake news on social media platforms. The study suggests that obtaining information from authentic sources, cross-checking websites and other information sources are some of the ways to deal with fake news. Page(s): 109-112

Title: Measurement of tacit knowledge and its conversion to explicit knowledge: a case study of Bolpur college library Authors: Chakraborty, Antara; Karmakar, Sandipan Abstract: A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect user feedback on various elements of library administration as well as users’ expectations to improve library services. A construct model has been deduced using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) by identifying optimal number of significant factors. The proposed construct has been validated by using structural equation modeling (SEM) in terms of convergent and discriminant validities. The proposed framework has been implemented on a survey of the users of Bolpur college library. The results indicate effectiveness in analyzing the TK and its conversion to explicit knowledge and has been proven to be a positive step towards improvement of library services. Page(s): 113-119

Title: Research productivity and altmetrics of NIRF top ranked medical institutions Authors: Gnanasekaran, D.; Rajkumar, T. Abstract: This research aims to identify the state-wise list of active medical institutions in India that participated in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) ranking (2019-21). A total of 52 institutions were ranked during the three years. However, only 28 of them have remained in the NIRF rankings for all three years. The research performance of these 28 institutions was examined based on their publications indexed in Scopus, Pubmed, and ResearchGate (RG). In addition, the membership registration details, altmetric such as reads, and RG scores were retrieved from ResearchGate. Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was employed in the retrieved data to identify the growth rate. All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi is in the top position based on NIRF as well as ResearchGate Scores. SRM Institute of Science and Technology tops in NIRF score growth rate (6.50%) and Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences is leading in ResearchGate score growth rate (55.41%). Kasturba Medical College, (Manipal and Mangaluru) and St. John's Medical College do not have contributions in ResearchGate. The overall publication growth rate of these 28 institutions put together is high for PubMed (13.08%) followed by Scopus (10.06%) and ResearchGate (8.77%). The study recommends that the institutions may encourage their faculty members to make their published research works available in ResearchGate to in order to boost the institution’s visibility.
