“…Digital repositories enhance work efficiency and visibility of the libraries in the community. Universities across the world are adopting digital library management systems to facilitate their users and to strengthen the vision of respective organizations (Kampa and Patra, 2020). Digital libraries prove fruitful in developing and managing institutional repositories to provide access to institutional assets to the users (Gurikar and Hadagali, 2021) and extremely helpful in the storage and preservation of rare material to transmit to future generations (Rafique et al, 2021; Barrueco and Termens, 2022).…”

The main objectives of the study were to identify key features of the digital library management system (DLMS) for developing and managing digital libraries, to reveal the satisfaction level of the library professionals in using digital library management system, and the problems being encountered in using these systems. The current study was quantitative in nature as quantitative measures were applied through a survey research strategy. Keeping in view the nature of the study, a purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from the target librarians who had been involved in operating digital library systems for building digital libraries in their respective libraries. Descriptive and inferential statistical tests were used to analyze the data. Findings revealed that in most of the university libraries in Pakistan, free and open source software (FOSS) had been implemented. DSpace was the most widely used software by library professionals in Pakistan. Key features of the digital library software included a user-friendly interface, customization, reliability and security, use of metadata standards (Dublin Core), web-based, advanced searching, consultancy and technical support, sharing e-books to devices (mobile, tabs), full-text searching, use of Boolean operators, and access control. The study recommended that library professionals of universities should be careful in planning library digitization and they should consider the above features before implementing any digital library software in their libraries.

“…Koha). Similarly, Kampa and Patra (2020) used a survey approach to examine the level of awareness and use of open source ILSs by LIS professionals in India. Another finding to highlight is that a newly added category, instructional paper, which focuses on providing instruction on implementing certain OSS (Appendix 2 and Table 3), was ranked third.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to revisit and update Palmer and Choi (2014), which conducted a descriptive literature review on open source software (OSS) studies published by the end of February 2013 in the library context. Design/methodology/approach The same article search and filtering procedures used in Palmer and Choi (2014) were used, resulting in a total sample size of 105 articles. These articles were then examined based on the same six variables (i.e. publication year, publication outlet, software type, article type, library type and article topic) from Palmer and Choi (2014) along with two new variables (i.e., study country and prolific authors). Findings The volume of research articles was found to be in a downwards trend since 2010. As suggested by Palmer and Choi (2014), survey research increased and was found to be the second most popular article type. Regarding library types, the proportion of articles in the context of academic and research libraries was found to have expanded even further. As to article topics, perceptions, which investigates users’ (or non-users’) various perceptions towards OSS, was newly added and was ranked fourth. Given the maturity of the research stream, two new variables (i.e., study country and prolific authors) were examined, and the findings from analyzing them are also presented. Originality/value By examining library OSS articles published between March 2013 and February 2022, this study uncovers changes and developments in the research since Palmer and Choi (2014), which provides a picture of where the research stands now with several updated and new implications.

This study explored the level of awareness and use of transportation algorithms among Production, Operations and Logistics Managers in Rivers State, Nigeria. The study employed a survey-based quasi-experimental research design. Thirty manufacturing and logics enterprises in the Trans-Amadi Industrial Area of Rivers were surveyed using a structured questionnaire. Copies of the questionnaire were administered to 53 managers. A total of 41 valid responses were collected were used for data analysis. The research used means to gauge the degree of awareness and usage. According to the findings, very few managers have ever heard of transportation algorithms. Many managers are aware of transportation algorithms but have never used them. Furthermore, an average number of production and operations managers use transportation algorithms only occasionally, while the majority of them do not use transportation algorithms on a regular basis. This implies that while managers are cognizant of transportation algorithms, they are hesitant to use them. As a result, the research suggests that manufacturing, operations, and logistics companies raise consciousness about the benefits of transportation algorithms through education initiatives and the formation of communities of practise. Firms should also educate managers on the use of transportation algorithms and make it obligatory whenever they move products from origin to destination. This is, as to the best of the researcher’s knowledge, the first study on the degree of awareness and usage of Transportation Algorithms among Production, Operations, and Logistics Managers in Rivers State, Nigeria.
