Read the passage given below and answer the questions
based on your understanding of the passage (Questions
No. 46-50).
The vital role played by
information and communication technologies in the development of digital
environment revolutionized the way libraries handle information for centuries.
The ICTs offer increased efficiency in terms of time, human resources and cost;
improved quality of information, greater flexibility and responsiveness,
increased access and sharing, enhanced degree of user interaction to specific
information, review and modify the needs as per the situation. More
specifically the Internet takes firm roots in information storage, processing
and dissemination and provides global access. The users prefer the ease of use,
portability, affordability and access to a wide range of subjects on the net
over the rule bound library environment. However, on the other hand, electronic
environment is not rosy, as it appears to be. The major issue is content
organization. The information is poorly structured on the web while libraries
have successful methods for information processing and retrieval. The content
mapping, semantic web and ontology are under experimental stages for the
purpose of effective organization and retrieval of web resources. Hence, users
are apparently in need of librarians to assist them to access pertinent and
precise information. Therefore it is high time for library professionals to
remodel themselves and act as aggregators, and know-ledge managers through web
based services tailor-made to the user information requirements. In this
context, Six Sigma applications have an immense value.
Service is the ability of an
organisation to constantly and consistently exceed the customer’s expectations.
Improving customer service in libraries involves making a commitment to assess
users’ needs and developing action plans that implement user friendly
processes. LICs are implementing the same through user studies or surveys to
ascertain the level of user satisfaction, seek their opinions and suggestions
and improve their service base based on the findings. However, they are not
documenting the policies, processes, procedures and important tools of these
programmes. Further, they don’t have a mechanism to identify the latent and
dormant users and their needs. This shows that there is a necessity to apply
proved management techniques like Six Sigma to analyse the current service
programmes and to suggest for their improvement. It is a fact that there is
vast difference between the desired and perceived information needs of library
users. The traditional metrics have limitations and hence adoption of Six Sigma
is useful as it measures quality capability.
