Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine whether features of next-generation Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) interfaces are useful and intuitive to users who have different levels of searching ability. In addition, it investigates whether there is a difference between librarians’ and students’ preferences for specific features. Design/methodology/approach – The research is based on 18 semi-structured interviews conducted in July 2012 with three groups of library users from The University of Sheffield: librarians; Master of Arts Librarianship students; and a group of other post-graduate students. Findings – Overall, this study suggests that while the next-generation catalogue interfaces and features are useful, they are not as “intuitive” as some previous studies have claimed. Interviewees appeared to prefer the searching and browsing options over the Web 2.0 features. Both librarians and students have similar opinions regarding the usefulness of next-generation OPAC features, but preferences are complex. Research limitations/implications – The study is based on one institution, and the disciplinary background of the post-graduate students was limited. Practical implications – Promoting next generation OPACs and explaining their features to users is essential. Originality/value – The paper adds to the understanding of users’ preferences in relation to next-generation OPACs, locating the findings of the current findings firmly in the context of previous literature.

Student patients were investigated by use of the questionnaire method and clinical observation during the years 1962–4. Questionnaire results revealed that patients, significantly more often than a group of controls, had attended one or more universities prior to the University of Western Ontario, had no extra-curricular activity, had not fulfilled their father's wishes in regard to course, smoked, smoked more than 20 cigarettes a day, were not abstainers, had chronic or recurring illness, had changed courses, lived in a room or apartment, were either the first or last child, slept six hours or less, had changed in weight by 10 lb. in the preceding three months, and had no faith preference or affiliation. Depression was most commonly encountered. A relatively high number of students in English and post-graduate students were seen. Two groups of ill students who were friends or intimates to a degree were encountered and the presence of ill teachers or other leading figures as a focus in these groups was described. Increased academic competition served as a stress for some. Disturbed family inter-relationships and current social expectations were among factors which appeared to favour the development of illness.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the attitude, awareness and barriers in research on the Post-Graduate (PG) Students and Research Scholars under the universities in West Bengal. The researchers have adopted the descriptive research method and its approach is quantitative for measuring the attitude, awareness and barriers in research. In keeping the variables (Gender, Locality, and Stream) in mind, 150 Post Graduate Students and 140 Research Scholars were selected as sample from the University of Calcutta, University of Kalyani and University of Burdwan in West Bengal. An Attitude Scale based on Likert’s 5-point scale (Bi-polar on 40 items) was developed and used by investigators for measuring their attitude towards research. For the awareness about research methodology, an Awareness Scale based on Likert’s 4-point scale containing 30 items was developed. To explore the barriers to doing research, researchers developed 10 Statements with the help of experts and it’s a tri-polar scaling method indicating ‘Yes’, ‘No’ and ‘Can’t say’. The result indicated that the Post-Graduate Students and Research Scholars differed significantly in their attitude towards research. The Post-Graduate Students showed a more positive attitude towards Research than the Research Scholars. The Research Scholars belonging to the social science & humanities and science stream showed significant difference in their awareness about research methodology. Despite having self-interest in research (70%) among the research scholars, the barriers to conducting research faced by them markedly included barriers related to institutional affairs (65.7%), lack of research funding (75%), inadequate research facilities (69.2%), lack of research skills and knowledge (59.2%), lack of professional supervisors (77.1%), difficulty in collecting reliable and valid data (80%) and uncertainty of employment (67.8%).

The web-site data.gov.uk (the UK's counterpart to the US's data.gov site) was launched in January 2010. The site proclaims that ``transparency is at the heart of this Government'' and that ``data.gov.uk is home to national & local data for free re-use.'' As part of an assignment for a masters-level course on Data Security at the University of Oxford, 18 part-time post-graduate students were asked to give consideration to the benefits and drawbacks of releasing public data, with particular focus being given to data.gov.uk. In this paper we describe the findings of four of these students and show how the issues raised---both in isolation and when taken in combination---may be a cause for concern, both to those responsible for releasing such data and to those to whom the data pertains. The discussion is not intended to be a critique of data.gov.uk per se; rather, our hope is that this contribution may play a role in the wider debate pertaining to the issues surrounding the release of public data.
