These are the familiar words that we always heard in the area of supply chain management. So what are they exactly? What are the common relationship that they have between each elements of these concept.

Kaizen, Lean, or Six Sigma? How to Choose Wisely for Your Project – Vendor Podcast

Organizations that are using kaizen, Lean and Six Sigma sometimes find that it’s difficult to determine which approach is the right one for the task at hand. In fact, all three approaches are good at different things. Truly effective organizations learn how to integrate these tools and then determine which one to apply to which task and how to combine these disciplines to address complex problems. This interview with Terry Burton will help get you started down the road to continuous quality improvement using an integrated approach.

After presenting a couple to concept theories either in persons or virtually for the past two days, I can feel the shackness in my mind and body. It is worth the while, that experts from the industries and professionals got my selling ideas in delivering library 2.0. Despite the technical jargons and hinderance, I have managed to deliver the message and conduct a reverse engineering “management” style.

The Bottom Line
Today, if you admire someone’s work, be sure to say so. Pay compliments.

In Detail
When you show genuine admiration for someone’s work, you are paying the very best kind of compliment. So today, if you see something you like or hear something you like, find its creator and let her or him know how you feel. Forget trying to ‘act cool’ about it — gush away! There is no point in hiding how you truly feel. After all, whom are you trying to impress, anyway? It will be freeing to let your true emotions bubble up to the surface.

I totally agreed with the qoute. and, my project grews larger and bigger. It is time for me to morphinise myself into an academic epic fellow.

One of the current task that I am playing now is with database feeds. Today, many databases or information providers have provide web feeds to their users. Now, it is up to the each individual library explore these feeds using a creative technology approaches to reach out their library users. 

As for my research, I am going to explore reaching out user through desktop environment. Followed by web development. This is because I does the management of desktop in my library. Which means I have much authoritives to play around in this environment. 

What is a Web Feed?
A Web Feed (or better known as Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed) is a lightweight XML format designed for sharing headlines and other web contents provided by the information providers or services. It can be referred to as a simple distributable “What’s New” on a website.

Today, most of the content distributors syndicate web feeds, allowing users to subscribe to it with ease. This concept approach is well-know as aggregation, where a collection of web feed is accessible at a single point.

Benefits of Using Web Feeds
A couple of benefits have been identified for use of web feeds, especially in the library environment. Primarily, it is to reach out to library users with relevant information needs that are specifically aggregated for them

Through web feeds, library users will be able to get immediate alerts that are of interest to them. It will save them time browsing for new articles and features.

On top of this, web feed is a safe way to disseminate and receive information as users are not exposed to threats associated with spam, viruses, phishing and identity theft.
Subscribing to Web Feeds

The new Internet Explorer 7 browser comes with a RSS reader built-in to the browser and is freely available. For sites that offer feeds, users can simply click the icon next to a set of links or headlines or from the list provided by information providers. Users need only follow the instructions offered by Internet Explorer 7 to complete the subscription to feeds accordingly.

Library & RSS
Users can now expect web feeds from the following databases subscribed by the library.

1. EBSCOHOST
2. Gartner
3. Jupiter Research
4. Scopus
5. ISI Emerging Markets
6. Engineering Village
7. Factiva
8. SPIE Digital Library
9. Emerald
10. Chronicle.com
11. …and lots more

As today’s users are more demanding and expect information at their fingertips, there is a rising trend in the use of web feeds in the world of academia and popular culture. Both librarians and users now have the advantage of a common platform to disseminate and receive information with greater efficiency and ease.

Academic library users can also expect to see more of this mode of communication and information dissemination by the library.

“… explored the development of a bookmarklet system to aid access to library resources in an effective and efficient manner. Generally defined in most research articles, a bookmarklet is a JavaScript code that can be stored as a URL within a bookmark in most popular web browsers or within hyperlinks on a web page. It may also be known as favelets or favourites on other web browsers, such as Internet Explorer.The design of bookmarklets can be saved and used like a normal page bookmark. Hence, it is a simple “one click” process and can be added as a substantial functionality to the current browser. Bookmarkets are safer than any other traditional software for a couple of reasons, such as simplicity and no installation requirements.”

Apologise for can’t remember where I cited this whole phrase. But that was one of the initial phrase, that the hunt for the codes begin and started the online collaboration work with a couple of guys at OCLA, like Jeffry A. Young and Barry. Of course, the whole idea was initiated by Jon Udell and Hazman Aziz just playing around with the integration of systems and promoting via the blogging community.

In a simple term, we have just created a simple xISBN Bookmarklet.

Use this Web service to retrieve a list of International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs) associated with a submitted ISBN, based on WorldCat information.

Furthermore, this is a simple robust system that integrate a couple of concept technologies (or business models) to aid in the aquisition or browsing of books within online books providers, your library OPAC system and even out to other library OPACs (thru WorldCat’s resources). Of course, please note not all online book providers is able integrate this. It might be due to their web architecture. In this example, I used NTU Libraries OPAC system.

This work well with Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, Blackwell Collection Manager and ISBN.nu. Please note that this list will grow on to my personal research blog.

1. xISBN Bookmarklet (NTU Bookmarklet Development)- This is where I kept the documentation of this development, webpage and the presentation slide
2. xISBN (Web service)- This is where NTU Libraries is listed out among the other libraries.

And if you want to follow my work in this development, you can visit to my personal research blog, where I stored and share out all my learning and knowledge journey with Internet community.
