I have gone into the second month of my postgraduate thesis and strengthening my research model for my thesis to embark. The first chapter has been presented to my supervisor, she has vetted and checked the initial idea of my thesis. Allow me to share a little bit of my initial idea.
“Building the Library’s Enquiry Automatic Feedback (LEAF) system using the Technology Acceptance Model to create value concepts and adopt decisive approaches in developing a Library 2.0 environment in the academic community”
The title is too long for the bookspine. Hence, we morphed, brainstorm and shorten it to:
“Design, Development and Evaluation of a Library’s Enquiry Automatic Feedback (LEAF) system”
What is LEAF system is about?
Library Enquiry Automatic Feedback pools all library-related questions and answers in one location.
What is so unique about LEAF system?
In this new interface Library’s LEAF system, I have customised the system to has a:
-
Knowledge Based Syndication
-
Analytics Enhancement
-
End User Page Redesign
-
Feedback Enhancement
-
Remote Depolyment Support
LEAF is actually off the shelf product by RightNow Technologies. My library has bought the package. I took up the project as nobody wants to support the complexity of the technical management behind it. Not even my experienced senior system librarian. After playing around with the system for about 1 years, I have managed to morph the system into a unique end user page. I guess no any academic library has gone into this area before. I bring up the idea of writing this docmentation to my thesis supervisor. She agreed and marvellous. Here, I am starting to write the paper.
So, what is the enhancements have you made?
Basically, in this phase I have modified the interface using the End User Page Redesign module. This is to meet the demand of today youth in accepting the look and feel of an enquiry system.
