Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This nearly 400 page report gives highly detailed data on the use by academic librarians of Google and its profuse apps and features. The study gives detailed data on use of Google Scholar, Google Books, Notifications, Forms, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Alerts, Google+ and dozens of other features.Google has made available - mostly absolutely free - one of the most advanced sets of information management tools ever devised, and this study helps its readers to pin down exactly how academic librarians are using these tools and how they are advancing the interests of their institutions through the use of these tools. Data is the report is broken out by eight categories, determining use by personal characteristics of the librarian such as job title, age and gender and even income level, as well as institutional characteristics such as college Carnegie class or type, enrollment and level of tuition. Just a few of the report's many findings are that:*Google Scholar was, by far, the most popular feature named.*40.45% of librarians sampled often use Google Maps in connection with their work and another 27% use it very often.*Use of Google Analytics was especially pronounced by librarians in technical services and cataloging; 43% of librarians working in this area use Google Analytics either often or very often in connection with their work, a far higher rate than for other academic librarians.*Google Forms was particularly valued by librarians in institutions that charged more than $26,000 annually for tuition, as 50% of librarians in the sample working at these institutions thought Google Forms was either very useful or essential to their work, a far higher percentage than at institutions charging less for tuition. *The librarians sampled spent a median of 1 hour in the past month using Google Images. *Librarians earning more than $100,000 per year were much more likely than others to use a search engine other than Google, which accounted for 74.7% of their searches, a far lower percentage than for librarians at lower salary levels, for whom Google accounted for about 89% of their searches.

Book excerpt: In only a few years, Google has become an authoritative provider of multiple products which have changed the digital information landscape. This book discusses how libraries can go beyond Google’s basic search and Scholar functions to expand services for their patrons. Respected authorities reveal the expanding variety of new Google applications developed in the past few years, many of which have not received wide attention and are as yet not often used in libraries. Applications explored include Google Co-op, Google News, Google Docs & Spreadsheets, Google Calendar, and Google Talk. This book also discusses different important aspects of the company’s expansion of functions, such as the failure of the Google Answers experiment, the broad variety of free Google applications that librarians can use to collaborate, and the success of Google’s Blogger, among others. A helpful chronology of Google’s growth is provided, as well as comparative analyses between various Google functions and other functions that are currently available. The book is extensively referenced. This book is an invaluable resource for academic librarians, public librarians, school librarians, library science faculty, and special librarians. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Library Administration.

Download or read book Using WebSphere Message Broker V8 in Mid Market Environments written by Carla Sadtler and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IBM WebSphere® Message Broker is a lightweight, advanced enterprise service bus (ESB) that provides a broad range of integration capabilities that enable companies to rapidly integrate internal applications and connect to partner applications. Messages from business applications can be transformed, augmented and routed to other business applications. The types and complexity of the integration required will vary by company, application types, and a number of other factors. Processing logic in WebSphere Message Broker is implemented using message flows. Through message flows, messages from business applications can be transformed, augmented, and routed to other business applications. Message flows are created by connecting nodes together. A wide selection of built-in nodes are provided with WebSphere Message Broker. These nodes perform tasks that are associated with message routing, transformation, and enrichment. Message flows are created and tested using the Message Broker Toolkit, a sophisticated, easy-to-use programming tool that provides a full range of programming aids. This IBM® Redbooks® publication focuses on two specific integration requirements that apply to many midmarket companies. The first is the ability to use WebSphere Message Broker to integrate Microsoft.NET applications into a broader connectivity solution. WebSphere Message Broker V8 introduces the ability to integrate with existing Microsoft .NET Framework applications. A .NET assembly can be called from within a message flow and the WebSphere Message Broker runtime can host and run .NET code. Solutions explored in this book cover connectivity to applications using Windows Communications Framework (WCF), Microsoft Message Queuing, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and other Microsoft applications. The second is the ability to integrate WebSphere Message Broker with file transfer networks, specifically with WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition and IBM Sterling Connect Direct.
