Business Information Systems (BIS) is a professional discipline that combines Computer Science, Management, and Business Administration. In this article the researchers evaluate the evolution of BIS curriculum in terms of its past, present and future, considering its historical background, the existing strengths and weaknesses, and how it can be developed to meet market needs. The study reveals the skills required by a BIS graduate and highlights how the existing/existed BIS curricula have made their graduates weaker when compared with Computer Science and Business Administration specialists. The research further compares the existential crisis of BIS with Library and Information Science (LIS) discipline, which have also faced a similar controversial crisis concerning their disciplinary boundaries, whether it belong to Social and Behavioral Sciences or Computer Science and Engineering and yet succeeded in its growth and contributions. This research concludes that the BIS curriculum is still budding and needs to be re-evaluated and updated regularly to meet the changing demands of the market highlighting the need for collaboration between academia and industry to ensure that BIS graduates are equipped with the skills that employers require. The paper finally proposes a balanced model of BIS curriculum that incorporates the latest technology updates. The proposed curriculum model aims to address the current gaps in BIS education and meets the changing demands of the market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper discusses the various facets of Google Lens to understand how Google Lens can replace traditional techniques of library services and to use Google Lens in the libraries and information centers for providing information to the users and even enhanced and enriched outreach services. The study has employed qualitative analysis of the literature and observation that seeks to understand the application of Google Lens for ensuring the better services to patrons and to put forward the authors perceptions based on observation and experience. The findings showed the power of Google Lens, the benefits of Google Lens over traditional procedures, the benefits of Google Lens in enhancing information services, and created awareness among information professionals and users regarding the use of Google Lens as a single search platform for the required resources. This study lays focus on certain areas where Google Lens can be used. While the scope of paper is restricted to explaining how Google Lens can promote the level of customer-oriented services for user communities, but the very advantage of this study is to express the usefulness of Google Lens for quick and accessible spread of information.

An overview of research on meta-tags, which are HTML elements, with regard to indexing documents on the internet, is presented.

In this study, the effect of using two seismic design methodologies, Direct Displacement-Based Design (DDBD) and traditional Force-Based Design (FBD), on the probabilistic seismic performance of an 8-story RC moment resistant building is investigated. Also, two probabilistic procedures are applied for considering aleatory and epistemic uncertainties. Thus, this research is conducted by studying (i) non-linear static curve (ii) incremental dynamic analysis curve (iii) the Mean Annual Frequency (MAF) (iv) seismic demand of limit states (v) the confidence level of structures under the earthquakes with low to high hazard levels. Based on the comparing two mentioned seismic design methods, it can be said that the structure designed with FBD, unlike DDBD methodology is not capable of estimating performance goals. Also, it is concluded that the structure under both aleatory and epistemic uncertainties behaves more vulnerable and MAF of exceeding the immediate occupancy and collapse prevention is increased.

Looks at the historical and philosophical roots of the reasoning and defines the induction as the most popular style of reasoning. Discusses the problem of induction and its complexities through an example. Explains one of the solutions provided for the problem of induction; i.e. the falsifiability theory. Defines the falsifiability theory and concentrates on an ongoing argument among information professionals. Survival of the print book, as an inductive belief, is what this article tries to analyze and gauge. Through an all-inclusive literature review, viewpoints of the pros and cons of this inductive belief are discussed; and much number of evidences is provided for the death of the print book. Concludes that the survival of the print book belief is falsified and liberal information professionals should be trained to press e-book publishers to develop their products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There are various opinions on the possible correlation between references and citations. The main question is that is there a positive correlation between the number of times a paper is cited (citations received) and the number of its references? Some of the researchers have stated that there is no or low relationship between references and citations; while others have showed evidences on a given powerful relationship. The present study, in response to this question, aims to find out an adequate answer to this problem based on the existed literature. To achieve this purpose, various opinions are considered, the diversity in interpretation of the problem is illustrated, the review is done and a sufficient conclusion is presented. This study shows that such relationships can be used as basis for predictions, by extrapolation, assuming that the publication and citation practices of authors will remain stable in the future. Results of this research can shed light on the current status of the problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
