Combining Moodle with DSpace: Designing Architecture for LIS Courseware

by Amit Kumar Das and Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay

with special reference to India. Open education resourses, open access, online open courseware are the
main components to promote open university with the help of MOOC platform by the various service
providers. MOOC List is open access (OA) aggregator (directory) of Massive Open Online Courses
(MOOCs) from different providers. MOOC List is a website where you can find free online courses
(MOOCs) offered by the best universities around the world. For this purpose, MOOC List directory was
studied to find their growth rate, country, subject-wise distribution as well as total courses available in
Indian education systems in MOOC within verious MOOC platforms.

across a globe. There are two main routes to provide open access to scholarly literature. One is
Open Access (OA) journals and another is through placing articles published in OA archives
or repositories. For this purpose, (Directory of Open Access Repositories) OpenDOAR and
Directory of Open Access Journal (DOAJ) was studied to find their growth rate, continent ,
country, language wise distribution as well as total items available and OAI-PMH supported
repositories.

Focusing on a particular aspect of learning object retrieval system i.e., design and develop the mechanism of learning object on library and information science learning object (LISLO) using open source software (Greenstone) and open standards (IEEE LOM), the paper discusses about the online and offline CD ROM product and services of LISLO. It enhances modified IEEE LOM metadata incorporation for digital archiving and retrieval system using Greenstone Metadata schema (GEMS).

Development of cloud computing in integrated library management and retrieval system

International Journal of Library and Information Science Vol.5(10) , pp. 394-400 , November 2013

" Cloud computing comes in several different forms and this research paper discusses how service,... more " Cloud computing comes in several different forms and this research paper discusses how service, platform and infrastructure forms of cloud computing have been used to serve library needs. Following an overview of these uses the experience of one library in migrating IT infrastructure to a cloud environment and concludes with a model for assessing cloud computing. Development of cloud computing for integrated library management and retrieval system on the basis of global recommendation include Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Open Library Environment Project (OLE) and the recommendation of Integrated Library System for Discovery Interface (ILS-DI); and in this regard, the most comprehensive open source software for designing and developing the Internet based services is selected.

Key words: Cloud computing, information mash-up, Web 2.0 and open source software."

Standards Requirement for Integrated Library System

The framework is mainly based on recommendations given by ILS-DI and IFLA Working Group on the area under consideration. It takes into account global standards like metadata, interoperability, digital preservation, web access and application programming interface etc. Two open source ILSs (from the matured block of ILSs) namely NewGenLib and Koha are compared against a set of parameters related with standards and drawn from global recommendations.
Keywords: Integrated library system, Standards, Digital Preservation and ILS software"

In its final shape, VLE@BU will be acted as a generic e learning platform for courses offered by the Department of Library and Information Science, BU. VLE@BU will have all the facilities to support off-campus learning and evaluation activities related to traditional courses of Library and Information Science, BU. In short, VLE@BU will be emerging as a web integrated hybrid e learning system for library and information science courses of The University of Burdwan. The structure of VLE@BU extends support for all three forms of VLE -web-based training, supported online learning and informal e learning. The software architecture of VLE@BU is completely based on FOSS (Free and Open Source Software). It uses LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP) architecture in Ubuntu, Moodle course management system as front end layer and DSpace as a backend digital repository system to preserve the metadata of learning object (IEEE LOM standard) for long time preservation and perpetual access and develop an interactive web-integrated e learning platform to accommodate library and information science courses.

This study gives a contextual background and overview of webometrics -its concepts, practices, tools and applications as a new Library and Information Science (LIS) research domain. This study is based on the analysis of hyperlinks. It includes calculation of various web impact factor (Web If) (self link, external link) of Institutional Digital Repositories in India form DOAR and ROAR by Altavista search engine.

$he Web Impact Factor for selected IDRs are given here in three levels — simple, self- nk and external-link. Among these three levels, the external-link web impact factor easures the visibility of web site directly. Therefore, ranking here is based on Wet npact Factor-external link. In this list, IDR OneWorld South Asia Open Archive itiative topped the list with Web Impact Factor-external link value 0.394. The ighest number of pages accumulated in the IDR Indian Institute of Science. angalore, India and the largest number of external links are accumulated by the IDR \dian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. IISc ranked 2™ in the list with 3150C ages and 3870 number of external links. The high number of external links for IISc dicates the quality of scholarly objects archived by IISc. The highest number of tota! nks present in IDR Librarians' Digital Library (LDL) and the value is 15700. The ighest number of internal link is 19600 in IDR Indian Institute of Science. angalore, India.$
