Little Data in Library
& Information Centre
All that investigation
of big data is going to result in little data, which is nothing but
personalized data.
It is not just
personal data, but also actionable data that’s called Little Data.
Big Data vs. Little
Data
Big Data can be
defined what organization knows about their stakeholders, while little data is
what we know about ourselves.
Big Data may differ
with little data in the below-mentioned characteristics:
- Focal point – Big data is for organizational goals, while little data is for personal achievements
- Visibility – Individual can experience the big data, while little data helps them to see better
- Control – Organization can control the Big data, while individuals control little data
Little Data (user
perspective) in Library & Information Science Domain
It can play an
essential role in the information domain, and it can be a coordination link
between Library User & LIS Professional.
The LIS professional,
if they are tracking library users for their Research, Reference, or Referral
query, then it will be an easy task for LIS professionals to create an
innovative strategy to serve their user.
To explain further, I
will take an example of CAS & SDI services in the Library. If we collected
the little data in a properly structured manner, then it will be easy for LIS
professionals to provide the services mentioned above to the users.
Google tools &
App-based applications can use collectively to provide such types of services
to the user.

Interesting. However the idea needs to be more elaborated. Nice attempt.

ReplyDeleteThere's an interesting article on the above link. SDI which we all had been practicing can be classed as little data. KM indeed was an effort to bring, to use, otherwise gone waste data. Have we had any headway in KM yet?
We can also further classify it as micro data and macro data.
