Altmetric Attention Score for a Research Output provides an indicator of the amount of attention. Score is taken from an automated algorithm, and represents a weighted count of the amount of meditation taken for a research output. This research output is an Altmetric attribution score of 9147 for the article The Spread of True and Fall News Online. Altmetric has tracked 12,623,901 research outputs in all sources till date 11th, 2019. Altmetric has tracked 7,171,211 research outputs in all the sources so far, out of which this article got # 4 places. By age, we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score with 273,408 tracked outcasts which were published within six weeks on both sides of this one in any source. This article got # 1 place. This research was published to 1,016 others from the same source and within six weeks on both sides of this one. This article got the first place.

The mechanism is reliable and effective but malfunctioning of just one gear can bring the whole clock to a standstill. Although the performance of library user service might not be dependent on just one factor, tracking key live chat metrics can help avoid common issues like long waiting queues, missed chats, bad user experience, and ultimately frustrated Library Users. WhatsApp is the third most used social media app in the world. As the user base continues to grow, so does the number of messages sent on a daily basis. This is a text and sentiment analysis of a WhatsApp group chat of Li(fe)brary at the Home WhatsApp Forum with User Satisfaction of NIELIT-Itanagar Library, Arunachal Pradesh. For the purpose of librarian service to the library users during lockdown created to this group and found Impact of 178 days and 193 library users with 1088 messages, shared 323 Media messages and found the most active day in this Forum is October 24 th , 2020. 93.8 percentage of Nielit Library Users in this li(fe)brary at Home stated for Forum activity like library at home.

Information and communication technologies have introduced new methods of teaching and conducting research and have been brought into education facilities for online learning, teaching and research collaboration. While some college communities in some countries enjoy free or inexpensive Internet access, students and faculty/staff in India must pay for time spent accessing the Internet, whether at a cyber café or in the library (some of the library they are providing free access). To improve ICT services in the library, therefore, researchers need to show how research scholars and faculty/staff are using the Internet in the academic environment. Information and communication technologies have given rise to new modes of organizing the educational environment in schools and new concepts in the teaching process as well as the remodel...

Academic libraries are established to support the objectives of their parent institutions which are to promote teaching, learning, and research.

The vast increase in the use of mobile application among the academic users, most especially WhatsApp, brought about the concept of WhatsApp use in academic libraries, this mobile application enables people to send realtime messages, image, video, audio and location information or group of contacts with internet connection. Using WhatsApp in the library implies: Librarians can easily send free messages to any part of the world without any charges. Librarians can share location, photos, status with their patrons on mobile devices. Library need not spend...
