Tagging Behavior

This paper explores the potential usefulness of user-generated folksonomy tagging in an academic electronic resource collection. A hermeneutic conception of meaning is applied to information retrieval (IR) technology, which emphasizes the understanding of IR systems as mechanisms for communication. The results of a survey exploring undergraduate tagging behavior are discussed.Cet article explore l'utilité potentielle d'un système d'étiquetage collaboratif généré par les utilisateurs d'une collection de ressources électroniques universitaires. Une conception herméneutique du sens est appliquée à la technologie de recherche documentaire (RD), renforçant la notion de systèmes de RD comme mécanismes de communication. Les résultats d'un sondage explorant les comportements d'étiquetage d'étudiants du premier cycle seront également abordés.

Purpose The main purpose of this paper is to examine the current practices related to e-resource collection development in management libraries of India with special reference to the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi with some constructive suggestions for improvement in this area. Design/methodology/approach A well-structured questionnaire was administered to the librarians of the nine management libraries under study. Findings The management libraries are actively involved in building e-resource collection. The budget allocation for purchase of e-resources has increased progressively over the years in majority of the libraries. The factors that, to a great extent, affect selection of e-resources include quality, subject coverage, license agreements and vendor support. The study found that libraries associated with management institutions such as ABS, DMS-IITD, FMS, BIMECH and FSM need to add more management-related databases. Research limitations/implications The paper restricts the study exclusively to e-resources as the type of material and the librarians of nine major management institutions of NCR of Delhi as the respondents in its scope of discussion. Practical implications The study is of great importance to information professionals of similar management institutions in India. The recommendations made could also help solve some of the challenges that are being faced. Originality/value Very little is known about the electronic resource collection development practices followed in management institutes’ libraries of India owing to lack of significant research undertaken on the topic. This study is, therefore, significant because its findings fill up the existing knowledge gap in this area.
