Abstract

A library is called a special library if it collects material on specific subjects or has special material or has special readers. The micro computer‐based dBASE II package is a viable tool to store, select, retrieve and manipulate numerical and alphabetical data. This capability can be rigourously exploited by a librarian to replace catalogues, indexes or any other records that are important from a management point of view. At the Centre of Studies in Resources Engineering (CSRE) of IIT, Bombay, India, a microcomputer‐based database has been developed to carry out the following functions for the library. 1) Storage and management of bibliographic data. 2) Selection and conditional retrieval of data. 3) Preparation of reports. This paper describes the concept, structure development, usage, advantages and limitations of the system. As the library is a service‐orientated organisation, then a computer will be a very effective tool in the hands of a librarian to perform library functions satisfactorily.

Abstract

Talent management is conducted to maximize an organization's overall performance and efficiency which helps to serve as a competitive advantage. Human resource management is a concept which includes human-related activities, but talent management is a strategy which helps to get new talent, develop their skill sets and provide better employee engagement and experience to retain the top potential employees in an organization. Improvement in recruiting and retention of a workforce results from a well-executed talent acquisition approach. In the 21st century, employee retention has become a primary concern for the organizations specially with work from home and hybrid models.

The workforce for tomorrow is going to be very different from what it has been. Technology is transforming the way people work within organizations. The workplace is rapidly evolving in terms of people and processes and is going through a lot of technological changes. The terminologies such as automation, artificial intelligence, augmented reality and block chain technologies are slowly becoming part of the workplace and everyday activities of the organization.

The challenges are many and especially post-pandemic organizations are going through some major changes such as a mindset shift of employees to take up more remote working opportunities, building virtual teams, increase in the gig economy workers (contractual workers) and a diverse workforce which makes it even more challenging for the organization to manage and retain talent.
