Abstract

Data mining is a form of artificial intelligence(AI) that uses automated process to finding interesting information in large repositories of data. The term data mining also refers to the step in the knowledge discovery process in which special algorithms are employed in hopes of identifying interesting
patterns in the data. These interesting patterns are then analyzed yielding knowledge. Any
information system design for the libraries with the help of data mining is most useful for librarian’s to make appropriate decision . The desired outcome of data mining activities is to discover knowledge that is not explicit in the data, and to put that knowledge to use. Libraries are already benefiting from data mining techniques as they explore ways to automatically classify information and explore new
approaches for subject clustering. As the field grows, new applications for libraries are likely
to evolve and it will be important for library administrators to have a basic understanding of the technology. This paper is mainly written for the use of data mining to management decision in libraries. It explains the future development should focus on developing tools and techniques that yield useful knowledge without invading individual privacy.  

Abstract
The paper attempts to answer the question as to whether Librarians are on par with teachers, as indicated by University Grants Commission, New Delhi. Although on paper but when it comes to promotional benefits, there is discrimination between teacher and librarian. Forgetting about this,  attempts were made to emphasize on the collective effort on the part of Teacher and Librarian in learning, teaching, research and information service that will strengthen academic environment and build healthy academic development activities. It also mentions the reasons for lack of collaborations
among them resulting major crux in the way of building academic curriculum and prospects of
research. Further, suggests the areas of collaboration teaching and library activities as an ultimate for smooth sailing of academic and research productivity.
Keywords Librarian-Teacher Collaboration, Library Development, Team Building. 

Abstract
The Internet holds the greatest promise for learning and universal access to quality education. The use of the Internet for education is now widely acknowledged. This study examined through an ex-post facto design the relationship between use of the Internet and perceived academic performance among
undergraduate students at the University of Botswana. Three hundred and six undergraduate students from thirteen systematically selected departments formed the study sample. A modified Internet Use scale was used to gather data. The data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics, multiple
correlation, chi-square and Friedman test. The results indicate that: significant relationship exists between Internet use and perceived academic performance among undergraduate students at the University of Botswana.Most respondents use the Internet for the purpose of obtaining course related information.However, variation exists in the use of the Internet to obtain course related information
with participants from Education and Humanities using the Internet for this purpose more than students from other disciplines such as social sciences, science, business, engineering,etc. Self-efficacy and  prior computer experience were found to significantly correlate with Internet access and use. Various problems encountered by respondents when using the Internet include: inadequate access to the Internet during school session, slow Internet access, lack of access to computers on campus
during holidays, and lack of knowledge to use the Internet and computers.                            Keywords Internet, Internet access, Botswana, Prior computer experience, computer self efficacy,
academic performance, academic achievement, Undergraduate students  

Abstract

Present study reveals different approaches and types of stresses evolved among library staffs. Encompasses stress symptoms and extreme products of stress among the staffs in the library as an organization. Also enumerates the relation between stress and job performance. Finally comprises the ways of managing and coping the stresses.

Abstract
Network Security is the difficulty subject, only well-trained and experienced experts can tackle this problem. This article deals with what is known as network and its security. It explains the reasons of security failure, requirements for security that will help us to understand some of the risks and how to overcome them. 

Abstract
This paper deals that Knowledge Management (KM) stimulates and manages an environment in which knowledge is created, shares , and used for the benefit of the organization, its people, and its customers or users. The term knowledge management is not a new concept and it has already been introduced as a part of management in different business organizations. This paper also describes the principles of knowledge management as a strategic point of view to the library and information centres. The Knowledge management components must be integrated into a seamless hole, so that process. This paper also describes modules of knowledge management and tools used for knowledge management. Knowledge management is new challenge for library and information centres and for its professional.
