This book has been written with a view to understand the validity
of the perceptions of Open Access (OA) e-journals in the Library
and Information Science (LIS) field. Using relevant OA journals
this book presents and evaluates journals qualitatively and
quantitatively. Over the last three hundred years scholarly
journals have been the prime mode of transport in communicating the
scholarly research process. However in the last few decades, a
changing scenario has been witnessed in their form and format. OA
is an innovative idea that attracts a fair amount of support and
opposition around the world because it bridges the gap between
digitally divided scholars by solving the pricing and permission
crises that have imbalanced the scholarly communication process.
Some scholars are of the opinion that OA has led to a chaotic
environment where anyone can publish anything. Scholarly
Communication in Library and Information Services records, in
detail, the impact by accessing the journals web site qualitatively
and quantitatively in measuring the important elements such as
articles, authors, countries, subjects and cited references.
Finally, the book calculates the impact factor using synchronous
and asynchronous approaches.

Knowledge Management in Libraries: Concepts, Tools and Approaches
brings to the forefront the increasing recognition of the value of
knowledge and information to individuals, organizations, and
communities, providing an analysis of the concepts of Knowledge
Management (KM) that prevails among the Library and Information
Science (LIS) community. Thus, the book explores knowledge
management from the perspective of LIS professionals. Furthermore,
unlike most books on the topic, which address it almost exclusively
in the context of a firm or an organization to help gain a
competitive advantage, this book looks at knowledge management in
the context of not for profit organizations such as libraries.
Free and open source development models have made tremendous
contributions to computing, research, commercial projects etc. and
making it easier for large groups of people, who may not even be
acquainted. While this growing activity has a promising future,
there is a need of specialized knowledge to install or handle Open
Source Software (OSS) in any type of library environment. Once you
have decided to migrate to OSS you will need to do some basic
installing. The present book "Open Source Software for Libraries: A
hands-on tool" is an attempt to explain how to install various OSS
easily and why the success of Open Source Software is broadly
significance. We aren't trying to explain every open-source for
every activity of libraries, instead we want to explain best, most
important, and easiest to use OSS. We believe, this book can be
used as a supplementary tool for handling OSS like Fedora, Ubantu,
Mozila, Google Chrome, NewGenLib, Koha, Evergreen, Open Journal
System, Diva, Joomla , Drupal, Wordpress and Apache HTTP Server.
