“…The main objective of internet archive is to store a huge collection of digital information, save each page without checking the worth of the page, and keep the history of the web record. The internet archive is considered as one of the biggest web archive (Kenney et al 2002).…”

Webometrics: evolution of social media presence of universities

This paper aims at an important task of computing the webometrics university ranking and investigating if there exists a correlation between webometrics university ranking and the rankings provided by the world prominent university rankers such as QS world university ranking, for the time period of 2005-2016. However, the webometrics portal provides the required data for the recent years only, starting from 2012, which is insufficient for such an investigation. The rest of the required data can be obtained from the internet archive. However, the existing data extraction tools are incapable of extracting the required data from internet archive, due to unusual link structure that consists of web archive link, year, date, and target links. We developed an internet archive scrapper and extract the required data, for the time period of 2012-2016. After extracting the data, the webometrics indicators were quantified, and the universities were ranked accordingly. We used correlation coefficient to identify the relationship between webometrics university ranking computed by us and the original webometrics university ranking, using the spearman and pearson correlation measures. Our findings indicate a strong correlation between ours and the webometrics university rankings, which proves that the applied methodology can be used to compute the webometrics university ranking of those years for which the ranking is not available, i.e., from 2005 to 2011. We compute the webometrics ranking of the top 30 universities of North America, Europe and Asia for the time period of 2005-2016. Our findings indicate a positive correlation for North American and European universities, but weak correlation for Asian universities. This can be explained by the fact that Asian universities did not pay much attention to their websites as compared to the North American and European universities. The overall results reveal the fact that North American and European universities are higher in rank as compared to Asian universities. To the best of our knowledge, such an investigation has been executed for the very first time by us and no recorded work resembling this has been done before.

“…Preserving digital information Digital technology holds great promise for the world's research libraries, for it could revolutionize how we capture, store, preserve, and access information. From the preservation perspective, digital technology offers important reformatting advantages over photocopy and microfilm, including its capability to create a higher quality reproduction of a deteriorating original, the ability to reproduce digital images over and over again with no loss of image quality, greater flexibility in terms of output and distribution, and potential cost savings associated with storage and distribution (Kenney, et al, 2002). Jantz and Giarlo (2005), defined digital preservation as the managed activities necessary for the long term maintenance of a byte stream (including metadata) sufficient to reproduce a suitable facsimile of the original document and for the continued accessibility of the document contents through time and changing technology.…”

“…These center on the obsolescence associated with the rapid changes occurring in the development of hardware/software system design, a lack of experience on the part of institutions and service bureaus with digital imaging for preservation, and issues of permanency and standards. Digital technology has the potential to redefine preservation reformatting, but until the concerns associated with maintaining long-term accessibility to material stored in digital image form can be resolved, many libraries and archives are loath to initiate digital projects beyond the pilot phase (Kenney, et al, 2002). With the advent of high-performance computing and high-speed networks, the use of digital technologies is increasing rapidly.…”

This study investigated the various techniques used in the preservation and conservation of library materials in selected university libraries in Nigeria. Particularly, it examined the causes and nature of deterioration, patterns and strategies used in their control, existence of preservation and conservation policies and constraints limiting effective preservation and conservation. The survey method was used. Fifteen ( 15) university libraries were purposively selected. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Collected data were structured into grouped frequency distributions using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software.Findings revealed that preservation and conservation techniques, though adopted in the university libraries were not effectively in use although the libraries all have preservation polices. The study also revealed that cleaning and dusting of library materials is the most commonly used technique. The study established that there are indeed incidences of deterioration the most prominent results being books becoming torn and cracking and scratching. Further results showed that though some of the libraries adopt and use some digital preservation techniques, they are still not effectively used. Other findings revealed that inadequate funding was the most severe inhibitor to effective preservation and conservation activities in the university libraries. Based on the findings, recommendations were made towards improving preservation and conservation practices in the libraries.

“…At the other end, service providers use the OAI-PMH to harvest the metadata from data providers and then subsequently automatically process it and add value in the form of services. While resource discovery is often mentioned as the exemplar service, other service possibilities include longevity and risk management [19], personalization [16], and current awareness.…”

Abstract. The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) was first released in January 2001. Since that time, the protocol has been adopted by a broad community and become the focus of a number of research and implementation projects. We describe the various activities building on the OAI-PMH since its first release. We then describe the activities and decisions leading up to the release of a stable Version 2 of the OAI-PMH. Finally, we describe the key features of OAI-PMH Version 2.
