“…Computers were used to overcome the difficulty of retrieving documentation as early as in the 1950's, where files were stored on magnetic tapes and ran on mainframe computer systems 6 . In the 1970s, computers began to be used more widely, where the mainframe computer was capable of storing data in hard disk and there was an increase of processing power, memory and performance.…”

Then in the late 1970s and early 1980s, there was the introduction of 'online search', where information could be accessed online 6 .

The increasing popularity of world wide web is providing an easy and quick alternative to get the required information through the internet which has threatened the existence of traditional libraries. The human capital associated with the management of libraries in the contemporary world is facing the challenge of crafting strategies to continuously augment their services with the help of information technology to provide quality customised services to the end users. To address this challenge libraries can use data mining to extract strategic information from the data captured in the libraries' data ases. The capability of data mining to solve some of the vital problems has encouraged libraries to implement this intelligent tool of data mining. In this paper, an attempt has been made to educate stakeholders on the issues and applications of data mining in libraries.

“…This has also been the case with the application of these technologies to scientific and technological communication, ranging from the creation of online data bases to the development of specialized electronic mail networks linking researchers (Neufeld and Cornog 1986;U.S. Congress 1984;Wigington 1987).…”

Appropriate high tech: Scientific communication options for small third world countries

Information and communication technologies have transformed the nature of scientific communication. This article examines the suitability of print, microform, online, and CD'ROM technologies for providing access to scientific serials by Third World scientists. Findings from an investigation of the technological and institutional options available to the scientific information system of Sri Lanka, a small country with a poor telecommunications infrastructure, are reported. Online is found most appropriate, principally due to the presence of a small number of scientists with a broad range of interests which makes the fixed-price regimes of the other modes disadvantageous. Policy responses, including the setting up of an online information bureau to gradually build up domestic and international communication levels to justify the introduction of internal and external data communication facilities, are discussed. The recommendations are user-centered and emphasize the need for continuous monitoring of technological and market options and flexibility of response on the part of peripheral players in the information market.

“…This term appeared in the late 1960s because of the evolution of computer software and the need to distinguish the specialized computer systems for the storage and manipulation of data, called database management systems (DBMS) (Neufeld and Cornog, 1986). Today, the acronym 'DBMS' is universally understood within Information Technology (IT), just like the acronym 'Bt' for 'Bacillus thuringiensis' is in the field of biological pest control.…”

Areawide Pest Management: Theory and Implementation

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter focuses on the application of DBMS in the field of biology, more specifically in entomology and integrated pest management (IPM). The database concept can contribute to future progress in IPM because it forms an information source for IPM programme development and implementation. One interesting research avenue is the development of forecasting methods to predict pest population dynamics in space and time. The database might contain, for example, the data to assess the relationship between environmental conditions and the occurrence of pest outbreaks. Furthermore, it can provide the data to evaluate the roles of predators and parasitoids as pest population regulators. This is an important point because implementation of a spatially distributed database provides the ability to study the dynamics of insect populations and their interactions using a spatio-temporal approach in a way not possible within the framework of a typical research project.
