Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have been used in libraries for multiple purposes. Basically developed for military applications in the 1940s, it had found its application in many other areas including the libraries. This article briefly traces the origins of this technology and its applications in various sectors. The system components, standards and protocols for RFID based systems with special reference to library application are discussed in detail. Also discussed are the advantages and disadvantages of RFID application in libraries.Keywords
RFID, Radio Frequency Identification, Surveillance Systems, Security, Libraries.

With liberalization and economic reforms, India has become a global economic hub. Interest of global research community has increased over time to study India's economic progress. The cultural diversity, social differences in Indian society coupling with the economic aspects has made India a special case of research for the international economist. This study use data from Social Science Citation Index to study the key research areas, countries, institutions and authors engaged in research on Indian economy. Study finds that planning, development, agriculture and environmental issues are key research areas for the economist. United States of America, England and Australia are the key counties among 75 countries that have interest in Indian economic research. World class universities such as Harvard and Oxford including institutions like the World Bank and IFPRI are engaged with research on Indian economy. Researchers of Indian origin also have key interest on Indian economic research. However publications in high impact journals are low.Keywords

Scientometric analysis of research publication from Bangalore city published between 2001-2015 shows that Indian Institute of Science has the highest number of publications but its share is coming down gradually. Also the share of Bangalore city's publications to Indian research publication is showing a declining trend. There is a healthy intracity and foreign collaboration among research institutions in Bangalore city. Research publications from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research are cited more often. It is encouraging to observe that the research publications are growing both quantitatively and qualitatively over the years.Keywords

Governments generate various types of information in different formats. To facilitate transparency and accountability, governments across countries make information available to citizens. Social science researchers use this information for studying different social and economic issues. The present study analyses the level of awareness among social science researchers regarding the perceived information quality, accessibility and relevance to their research. The digital documents are preferred more than the print and other formats in which government information is available. The purpose for which they use government information available in digital form has been studied along with the frequency of use of different kinds of government information. The study observes that social science researchers rank most government information as high quality and relevant to their research besides using frequently. Although there is no gender difference observed with respect to the use of government information, there is a significant difference between researchers in the domain of economics and other social science researchers so far as access to statistical information is concerned.Keywords

Data are assuming new magnitude, since the concept of big data emerged. Data is a prominent component in social science research. The Social Science data are variable in nature from region to region. The nature of social sciences data was compared to ‘iceberg’ by DEVSIS and its capture and management was given importance. A project was undertaken on Research Data Management in social sciences focusing on use of data in doctoral research. The study covers five premier universities of Karnataka has observed clear distinct features of data in the disciplines of social sciences. Researchers from Sociology, Economics, Commerce and Management disciplines use tables and figures heavily to present research data, whereas History, Geography use visual data. The uses of data are low in disciplines like History, Political science, Law and Women’s studies. The amount of data generated by doctoral researchers has immense potential for re-packaging and reuse. It is essential to build a data repository platform to share and reuse research data and train researchers to compile and upload the data for future use.Keywords
