2 Outline INTRODUCTION LITERATURE REVIEW HISTORY PROBLEM OBJECTIVE AND METHODOLOGY e-sdi IMPLEMENTATION CONCLUSION

3 -INTRODUCTION Library is the center of information and knowledge that has been around for a long time ago since the Sumerian, Babylon and Assyria civilization, between the years 300 to 650 BC (Irma Indayu, 2005). Library functioned as service provider for disseminating the information that allows user to access the materials in the collection faster, accurate and up to date. Malaysian Nuclear Agency (Nuclear Malaysia) is government agencies that under auspices of Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) majorly in nuclear related research in Malaysia. There are two libraries situated in Nuclear Malaysia, both in main complex and MinTec Park complex. There are about 18,022 collections consists of books, reference, journal and others

4 -INTRODUCTION

5 -LITERATURE REVIEW The concept of SDI was firstly introduced by H. Peter Luhn in 1958, who named this system as SDI service (Dawra, 2004). Selective Dissemination of Information Service (SDI) refers to tools and resources used to inform users of the existence of a source of information in a specific topic (Hensley, 1963). SDI as the provision of current awareness services by the matching of an interest profile against current computer readable files (Taylor, 1978). SDI, as a term commonly employed in the computer-assisted search. It is a way of saying that once a day once a week, or once a month, the librarian searches the available new literature and prepares a bibliography of materials likely to be of interest to a particular person (Kartz, 1992).

6 -LITERATURE REVIEW SDI is a service that matching clients with the necessary information. Prior to the implementation of the SDI, library needs to identify the customer s requirements and needs of information and the customer s profile should be stored and updated accordingly (Irma Indayu, 2005). SDI as the regular provision of scientific information to individuals or corporate users on predetermined subjects (interest profiles) (UNESCO). Dr. S.R. Ranganathan defines SDI as documentation list on a specific topic anticipated to engage the attention of the member of the parent body (Hossain and Islam, 2008). SDI is a type of current awareness service which under optimum conditions involves screening of documents, selecting information exactly tailored to meet the specific research needs of each user or a group of users and supplying the information directly to each individual or group so that user can keep abreast of the latest developments in the area of his specialization (Hossain & Islam, 2008).

7 -LITERATURE REVIEW Current SDI systems typically use simple keywords matching or bag of words information retrieval techniques to represent user profiles and match them against new data items (Altinel and Franklin, 2000). User profile is structured representations that contain personal data, interest and preferences of library users.

9 -HISTORY Malaysian Nuclear Agency Library (Nuclear Malaysia Library) has introduced SDI services in 1978, the year when Nuclear Malaysia, at that time known as the Pusat Penyelidikan Tun Dr. Ismail (PUSPATI) is accepted as a member of the International Nuclear Information System (INIS). Initially this service is carried out manually; with the user profile form circulated to staff of the Agency especially researchers. Researchers who are interested to use this service will fill the profile form and sent it back to the library. The library will provides information referring to the subject specified in the user profile form every 6 months if there are new updates available.

10 -HISTORY December 2005, Nuclear Malaysia Library has purchased and started to use Integrated Library Management Utilities (known as the ILMU System). 2010, we started the new electronic version of SDI using ILMU, through IRS module. INIS documents were extracted and stored in ILMU storage and indexed through IRS module, retrieved by e-sdi. 2012, paper cutting and internal reports also deposited in ILMU and retrieved by e-sdi.

11 -PROBLEMS BPM responsible in acquiring and disseminating information, What channel? Who? How? Utilization of ILMU

12 -OBJECTIVE AND METHODOLOGY The main objectives of this paper are to review e-sdi services in Nuclear Malaysia Library as well as to describe conceptual workflow of this system. The choice of methodology used is by observing the system internally besides some reviewing on literatures that focused on this service.

13 -MATERIALS FOR E-SDI INIS, materials extracted are full-text proceedings and reports and must be in English. The sources of newspaper cutting are from main and most circulated newspaper such as Utusan Malaysia, Berita Harian, News Strait Time, Kosmo, Nanyang Siang Pau, Harian Metro and China Press. Agency s internal reports.
