12th and 13th Day of my Internship

Hiiii Girls!!!

It’s been three weeks girls working as an intern in St’Francis Institute of Technology Library. Learning new work every day, working on mistakes, feeling happy when you are doing well, sometimes I mean😊 Both ma’am and library staffs are very cooperative. I hope you are also enjoying your internship😊

I am working on Dspace activity. For online institutional repository, they are using Dspace software where they have uploaded question papers, abstracts of research papers of faculty. My work is to upload photographs of the events happened in SFIT and in library. The activity is very interesting and challenging as well, getting to know about new software and also practically working on it. There are many points which i learnt while working on this activity eg: there are many photographs of one event, but we can’t add all the photographs, otherwise the server will crash. We need to select some photographs which are important. While working on any software which we know that students will be accessing it, it’s important to come up with different ideas on how it can be easily accessible to students like, while adding keywords it’s important to know what key terms students will use while searching a particular events photographs or documents.  Keywords is only one example, there are many like what should we give name to main title, adding metadata etc… What we learnt in class girls I am getting to do it practically😊 These are some points I learnt while working on this activity, there is more to learn till I complete this assignment😊

Last week library kept all last year’s B.E project reports for display for students to go through, it will be on displayed till end of this month😊 They normally keep projects in cupboard, but library came up with an idea to display in library last year's all B.E project reports for students to go through😊

I want to share with you girls a information which ma’am shared with me. You know girls when we use to work on assignments in college and when we needed some images for our assignment we use to go through the Google Images and copy them. Actually there are some Google images  where unless and until we have an owner’s permission we can’t use the image for our website or blog etc, if we use it without permission it is called ‘Copyright Infringement ‘. But how will we know which Google image is under copyright? Google offers an Advanced Search option which helps us to filter Google Images which are free license, royalty free or open to the public for use in anyway. While doing image search on Google, click on Settings, under Settings you will find Advance Search, click on it, you will find Usage Rights at the end and select the option which is appropriate to you. Even i didn't knew this option, learnt while working on Dspace activity😊 

Looking forward to new learning tomorrow😊

Good Night Girls😊
