Journal Article by SUBHAJIT PANDA
Design/methodology/approach: The paper addresses the issue of limited PDF interaction capabilities of traditional PDF readers in library systems and their potential to cause frustration and disengagement among users. It proposes ChatPDF, an online software platform that leverages ChatGPT API to offer a more intuitive and natural way of engaging with PDF documents. The paper also outlines the various features and advantages of ChatPDF and its potential impact on library systems.
Findings: The paper concludes that ChatPDF offers a more advanced and user-friendly approach to interacting with PDF files than traditional PDF readers. It recommends libraries to consider implementing ChatPDF to enhance user engagement and satisfaction with their digital resources. The paper also identifies limitations and opportunities for future research in evaluating the impact of ChatPDF on user experience and library systems.

This study breaks new ground in understanding the various versions of Google Scholar indexes, correlations between the number of Google Scholar versions and citation counts, and the value of Institutional Repositories for increasing scholarly impact. This paper investigates Google Scholar versions as an alternative source for a scholarly article. While other articles have looked at Google Scholar through various lenses, the authors believe this specific aspect of the topic has not been previously explored. This article provides information about conducting a literature search on the Google Scholar website. The article briefly describes how to narrow or expand a search and how to find non-journal literature. Although Google Scholar is not without limitations, it offers a practical starting point for a literature search.
Methods: To achieve this, a comprehensive analysis of the Open Access Theses and Dissertations (OATD) repository was conducted. A total of 2,683 ETDs from 2000 to 2023 were analyzed, revealing key trends and patterns. The research investigated ETD contributions across years, countries, universities, departments, and degree types.
Findings: The study's findings indicate that the years 2004-2008 were highly productive (32.91%), with Sweden being the primary contributor (38.84%). Notably, the University of Borås emerged as the top contributor among universities (21.36%), and the "Swedish School of Library and Information Science" stood out as the leading department (21.32%). Doctoral ETDs held the majority (23.85%), with PhD degrees predominating (20.16%). In terms of language, 38.02% of these ETDs were in "Swedish".
Implication: The study's implications are significant. It highlights ETDs' role in disseminating knowledge and fostering transparent, collaborative scholarly ecosystems. By aligning with Open Science, ETDs can boost research visibility. The study proposes strategies to enhance ETD discoverability and use, while addressing copyright and data management challenges. Additionally, it offers insights for shaping ETDs' future within the Open Science framework.
A typical computer system has four basic functional elements :

(3) Control unit, and
(4) Arithmetic-logic unit.
inclusion, educational outcomes, and learning. Boosting digital participation, or e- inclusion, has become the aim of policy decisions, but how best to accomplish this goal remains uncertain. E - Inclusion has been conceptualized in many different ways. In the 1990s, the concept of a “digital divide” emerged, focusing on whether or not people had access to computers and the Internet. Looking at this global demand the democratic nation of India started showing its concerns for encouraging social inclusion in digital education and digital world. The recent political economy of Digital India Campaign is hence an extension of the dream of shifting the traditional classroom environment learning to digital learning. But in a nation like India this has to do with many socio, cultural and economic handicaps. It is quite evident that the major issues of digital divide and exclusion i.e. access to Computer knowledge and Internet infrastructure still shows a significant gap in technology uses between regions in India. Therefore, in this paper it is aimed to discuss about the issues of social inclusion in e – learning in India and the responses of Indian state in an analytical framework. The paper will adopt a historical analytical method to analyze the data collected from secondary sources like book, article, e-resources and government reports.
