Purpose – The purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of automation on library management services of four selected management institutes at Aligarh. Design/methodology/approach – The investigators used a fashioned questionnaire and informal interviews. They chose samples on the basis of a stratified sampling method and administered the questionnaire according to a random method for collecting the data. Findings – The study revealed that 3 of 4 libraries are partially automated, with the exception of Al-Barkaat which is completely automated. Seventy per cent of librarians believe that automation has improved their library’s services, while 85 per cent of users believe that an automated library system is better than the traditional manual system. Of the four libraries, three have a shortage of general staff and three also lack qualified specialized staff to deal with automation. Research limitations – The investigators could only select four management institutes because of time and logistic constraints, despite Aligarh being the educational hub of western Uttar Pradesh. Originality/value – Although many studies of the same kind have already been conducted on library automation in different areas of world, this paper revealed the current status of automation in libraries of selected management institutes at Aligarh.
Human Capital or HC plays a significant role in the field of economic growth. Advancement on human capital and knowledge-based economy are of core importance for developing countries. Active representatives of capital accumulation are the people and utilizing natural resources for contributing to the socioeconomic growth of the country. Evaluation of HC helps organizations to concern about their present position taking Human Capital Management into account. The core goal of this work is to measure performance of each organization individually based on criteria and rating the individual depending on the measurements. The technique used in this paper is based on the integration of "AHP" and "TOPSIS" as "AHP-TOPSIS" Hybrid method. The Analytic Hierarchy Process determines criteria's weight and significance of the indicators or alternatives. The final ranking of HC is done by TOPSIS method considering the importance of the indicators. The proposed MCDM approach is effective, compatible and reliable considering the goal of the study.
This paper deals with the idea of smart labs with automated access utilizing IOT for door unlocking systems and automating the process of switching ON the appliances to provide smartness and automation to our computer labs. It uses a picture capturing technique in an embedded system based on Raspberry Pi. RPi (Raspberry pi) controls the camera for capturing the image and for door unlocking. The camera captures the facial picture and RPi processes the image to the service which recognises the face in the image by comparing it with the images which are stored in the database. If the picture is found in the database then the door lock opens and a node is assigned to the person, the node and nearby fan and light are provided power. The person will be informed by an audio announcement about the assigned node.
