Materials and methods: A total of 150 people from the general Indian population belonging to the mean age group of 18-28 years were included in the questionnaire study. They were asked to go through a set of eight questionnaires, which were prepared keeping in mind the requirements of people in a day to day life from an orthodontic point of view. Results: Chi Square test was done using SPSS software 20.0, according to which all the frequencies were found to be significant with a value of p<0.001. Conclusion: Variations of perception among individuals of different age, sex, culture will always prevail, hence an overall assessment of smile esthetics should be done keeping in mind the basic requirement of the general population that should come forth in conquering the desires of the patients within the boundaries of orthodontics in order to deliver a socially acceptable result.

The vastness and complexity of drug literature has led to information explosion. Managing the situation involve mechanism in its management as well as it include issues like quality information management, change management in this ICT infrastructure, lack of co-operation among staff members, professional and communication skill and budgetary limitation etc. all matters affect on best management practices of library and information centre of pharmaceutical science field. This matter may outcome by personal and direct and indirect response related to management of pharmaceutical science library and information centre.

Cloud computing is of interest to health care professionals as well as health consumers. Health Science libraries maintain more control over the applications and data repositories that contain sensitive, private information about patrons. Provision and maintenance of infrastructure for web-based digital library presents several challenges. It allows them to avoid locally hosting multiple servers, housing massive equipment and constantly dealing with hardware failure, software installs, upgrades and compatibility issues. This paper describes the concept, current status of cloud computing and its application in health science libraries. Then it proposed to improve current user service via cloud computing.

Ambrose Alli university library and Registry provided the data for the study. The survey research method was used for the study and the major findings were that;information is a useful and indispensable tool in the management process;the respondents agreed they often need information for effective management in all areas;the respondents often visit information centers and information sources are available that they depend on for their information needs;information has a positive effect on management and the major problem in management is the lack of information and in trying to meet their information needs,the major problem is fund and timely information. The study recommended inter alia that: more funds should be allocated to libraries and information centers to acquire more current information materials and Managers should not depends only on the information centers immediately close to them. They should also try and visit other centers even afar. In that case, they will be exposed to more and more information. Similarly, Mangers should embrace information communication technology in all ramifications and incorporate it into every aspect of their activities.

For this study, Scopus database was used to get the primary data.

However, libraries find it difficult to cope up with periodical subscriptions due to a recent spurt in periodical literature and the alarming rate of rise in their price. The rising costs of periodicals and the associated difficulties faced by the librarians in satisfactorily catering to the requirements of their clients can be adequately handled through the application of cost-benefit analysis. It is felt that a cost-benefit analysis can increase the awareness of librarians, administrators and others concerning costs and use patterns, but cannot be truly effective without the help of intuitive value judgment. Library services in the recent years are exceedingly becoming difficult due to spurt in the literature. The question of satisfactory performance of the services is acquiring greater concern of the librarian's day by day. The question becomes difficult due to lack of suit...

The need of hour is to delete the general stigma related to this subject that it’s a dry & boring subject…. by the students. Various efforts are directed towards the objective of making pharmacology teaching an interesting and a significant learning experience, by formulating new educational strategies & modules for the medical students.

Medical science is a fast changing field. In fact, the whole concept of diagnosing and treating a patient is modifying rapidly and hospitals of the future will treat patients from all over the world without geographical limitations. It is well said that from the elite class to the general masses, the cultivation of the righteous life is the foundation for all [1]. The library plays a vital role in the teaching and learning environment. Technology is changing the very nature of libraries. This has resulted in digitization. Digital and virtual libraries, which play an important role in e-learning, are fast emerging as a result of integration of varied technologies [2]. The role of the health science library is to provide a learning center where practitioners and administrators can develop the skills ...

Libraries have used marketing channels such as the traditional media: newspapers, corporate newsletters, radio, and TV. Many libraries produce brochures, pathfinders, and their own newsletters. It is not surprising to see libraries using blogs as marketing tools as well. A blog is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order. They can provide commentary and information on a particular subject or act as a more personal online diary. Blogs combine text, images, and links to other related or interesting sites. Readers can leave comments, making blogs interactive. Most blogs are text, although there are also photoblogs, sketchblogs, video blogs (vlog), or audio blogs (podcasting). These are all part of the wider network of social media. The term "weblog" (later shortened to blog) was coined by Jorn Barger in December 1997. The first weblog...

From this survey it was found that most of the research scholars i.e. (Doctors, Physicians, Medical officers, Interns, Post Graduate students, Residents) are referring to e-journals, as well as print journals from their departmental library as well as computer center in the central library. The main aim of consulting these journals is for retrieving information regarding research, dissertation, presentations, seminars, lectures, treatment protocols for unusual cases and journal clubs etc and largely to update their own knowledge. However, this study also reveals several inherent problems especially with the use of e-journals e.g. Computer illiteracy, lack of computer training, inability of retrieving particular/relevant health based ...
