The Importance of Internal Communication in Job Satisfaction: The Example of UNIKOP Region Libraries Employees in Türkiye
type: item
description: Job satisfaction is an important factor that affects employees commitment to their jobs, productivity and overall satisfaction levels. Many factors play a role in ensuring job satisfaction, and internal communication is one of them. Internal communication is a set of processes that enable the exchange of information, interaction and cooperation between the employees of an organization. An effective communication structure ensures that employees feel valued, while at the same time playing a critical role in terms of achieving the organization’s goals. The healthy functioning of internal communication increases the job satisfaction of employees, as well as strengthens their motivation and commitment. As information centers with a large number of users and employees, internal communication is also very important for libraries. Library employees who are satisfied with the environment they are in and satisfied with their work will provide better service to both users and society. The purpose of the study was to examine the perceptions of employees of KOP Region Universities Association (UNIKOP) libraries regarding internal communication and job satisfaction, in light of various demographic variables. Data were collected online and in-person via surveys. The study population consisted of 187 individuals working in university libraries in the region, and 94 volunteered to participate. The results of the study reveals that there is a significant difference between the participants in terms of gender and educational status; on the other hand, marital status and income has not created a significant difference.

Critical thinking in library and information science: a bibliometric analysis
type: item
description: Critical thinking has long been an important topic in academia and educational sciences. Despite various researches in analyzing critical thinking publications in different academic disciplines, no comprehensive research has ever been conducted about bibliometric analysis of publications in this topic in Library and information science (LIS). Bibliometric analysis is a significant tool for a systematic analysis of references related to multiple subjects and disciplines. This research aimed at discussing and defining critical thinking concept in LIS by implementing bibliometric analysis for analyzing and reviewing over publications regarding critical thinking in Library and information science via Web of Science Database (WoS). After standard searching, selecting and screening the relevant results, 105 publications were retrieved from WoS. Publications were analyzed according to number of references and citations per year, key authors, highly cited publications, affiliations, and countries. The frequency of related keywords and the relationship between them were also analyzed by VOSviewer to identify the relationship between keywords in critical thinking in LIS. The results demonstrated that critical thinking, information literacy and library instruction were among the most frequent keywords utilized in different publications and had the strong relationship with each other.

NLIST in Provincialized Government Colleges of Assam: An Assessment
type: item
description: The present study aims to evaluate the utilization of NLIST services within provincialised colleges in Assam. A total of 17 colleges were randomly chosen for data collection. The questionnaire has been designed in a descriptive format, covering ICT infrastructure, authorities' support, reasons for opting for NLIST e-resources, challenges in seamless user services, and the frequency of significant efforts by college libraries. Personal interactions performed by the researcher following the distribution of the questionnaire among librarians of selected colleges. Findings revealed deficiencies in ICT infrastructure, slow internet speeds, and insufficient authority support regarding budget allocation and availability of skilled staff. The study identified lower costs of e-resources, NAAC evaluations, and the NEP 2020 as primary factors which are strong reason identified behind opting NLIST resources. Emphasizing the critical necessity for improved high-speed internet access to fully leverage e-resources, despite 70.57% of college librarians conducting awareness and training programs, 52.94% expressed the need for further orientation, workshops, and training sessions. It underscores the importance of awareness initiatives in Higher Education Institutes across Assam. To optimize the impact of the NLIST project, the study suggests conducting publicity and marketing campaigns aimed at college awareness to attract more institutions to benefit from the initiative. The research unveils a substantial gap in NLIST resource utilization in Assam's colleges, indicating the urgent need for corrective measures to match with those in other Indian states.

Optimizing Instagram Metrics for Strategic Information Marketing: Insights from Global Influencers
type: item
description: This study examines engagement dynamics and follower distributions among the top ten most-followed Instagram accounts, collectively amassing 4.289 billion followers. Statistical analysis reveals a positively skewed distribution, with a mean follower count of 428.9M exceeding the median (382M), influenced by outliers such as @instagram (672M) and @cristiano (617M). Z-score analysis identifies these accounts as significant outliers, whereas @khloekardashian (-1.03) and @beyonce (-0.97) rank at the lower spectrum. Sector-wise, athletes, predominantly footballers, maintain the highest average follower count (548.5M), whereas musicians and influencers range between 305M–420M. Sentiment analysis classifies engagement patterns into three categories: (i) highly positive accounts (@therock, @cristiano) fostering strong emotional resonance, (ii) neutral/promotional accounts (@instagram, @kimkardashian) with lower engagement, and (iii) music/activism-driven accounts (@beyonce, @arianagrande) balancing entertainment and social influence. Engagement Rate (ER) analysis highlights @therock (2.68%), @selenagomez (2.10%), and @cristiano (1.75%) as top performers, while @instagram (0.54%) exhibits minimal audience interaction. A moderate negative correlation (-0.582) between follower count and engagement rate suggests that larger audiences correspond with diminishing engagement levels, declining by 0.00248% per additional million followers. Findings underscore that content quality, audience sentiment, and narrative strategies surpass follower count in driving engagement. These insights hold critical implications for Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals, highlighting Instagram's potential for strategic digital outreach, branding, and knowledge dissemination. By leveraging targeted engagement strategies, LIS practitioners can optimize social media impact, fostering deeper connections with information users in an increasingly digital landscape.

Italian music libraries and open access digital music archives. Issues and challenges
type: item
description: Music libraries are faced with two different but related issues: on the one hand, the creation of repositories of digitised music collections (a means desired and supported by everyone, even by those who do not have or do not want to get used to electronic devices, such as musicians who prefer and use exclusively or almost exclusively paper) and, on the other hand, the use of exclusively electronic devices as a means of studying and performing music. As far as Italian Conservatory libraries are concerned, the use of commercial digital library services is spreading. In addition, there is currently a lack of digitisation projects for early, rare, or notable music collections: with the exception of the digital collections of a few Conservatories, such as those of Naples and Milan, Brescia, Florence and some others, there are no particular innovations in the digitisation of historical music Conservatory libraries. In addition to digital libraries, some problems remain when searching for music using criteria designed for the verbal text: despite some interesting recent proposals, the search for notated music with specific criteria, different from those of the verbal text, remains a challenge.

The Role of the Academic Library in the Socialization of Education Research Results: Qualitative Findings in Four Mexican Universities
type: item
description: The findings of education research are shared with peers and the general public. Academic libraries require a detailed identification of their current and potential role in supporting their researcher users as creators of new knowledge in order to provide a better service. In this text, we share the qualitative advancements of a study which had the objective of retrieving the elements that define the current and potential role of the library in the context of the meanings and actions linked to result socialization processes for education researchers, who address priority processes for Mexican society. The data comes from semi-structured interviews with four academics belonging to two public and two private universities, diverse in their size and geographic location. The analysis used the Grounded Theory method, and analysis categories were generated for each institution through various technological supports. Although the results are specific to each researcher and university, we can identify some common aspects about the role of the library in the socialization of research results; one example would be reviewing literature through electronic databases. Previous results establish that libraries are a benchmark in the researchers’ trajectory and may have a key role in formation, for creating informational materials and establishing alliances to situate research results on specialized and general platforms.

type: item
description: The present study compares the literature in the disciplines of psychology and clinical psychology from India, the World, and European countries between 1989 and 2023, looking at the expansion of these fields as per the data of the Web of Science. To examine the growth and trend of the literature, various growth models were applied to the dataset from the defined countries and the data was analyzed using MS Excel. Overall an increasing trend of production is seen from all three of them, the maximum papers have been produced during the block 2019-2023 and the minimum during 1989-1993. An increasing trend in Relative Growth Rate is seen among which the world’s mean RGR is the highest in both fields i.e., 0.990 and 0.964 in psychology and clinical psychology respectively. The psychology & clinical psychology literature from all defined countries shows a decreasing trend of Dt values over the period. The curve fitting statistics show that except for the literature from European nations which best suit the linear growth model, the others i.e., the world and India show that the exponential growth model fits best to the Psychology literature. On the other hand, clinical psychology literature from the World, European nations, and India shows that it best fits the exponential growth statistics. The chi-square test statistics show that the European countries clinical psychology literature follows the logarithmic model and the Indian Psychology literature follows the Linear growth Model as the calculated chi-square values are -95782.4 and -913.53 respectively, which are less than the theoretical chi-square values. Except for these two, none of the datasets follows any growth models when tested through chi-square analysis.
