Engaging Users through Social Media in Public Libraries
Feb 25, 2020
The participatory library is an emerging concept which refers to the idea that an integrated library system must allow users to take part in core functions of the library rather than engaging on the periphery. To embrace the participatory idea, libraries have employed many technologies, such as social media to help them build participatory services and engage users. To help librarians understand the impact of emerging technologies on a participatory service building, this paper takes social media as an example to explore how to use different engagement strategies that social media provides to engage more users. This paper provides three major contributions to the library system. The libraries can use the resultant engagement strategies to engage its users. Additionally, the best-fit strategy can be inferred and designed based on the preferences of users. Lastly, the preferences of users can be understood based on data analysis of social media. Three such contributions put together to fully address the proposed research question of how to use different engagement strategies on social media to build participatory library services and better engage more users visiting the library?
Predicting Gross Movie Revenue
Apr 03, 2018
'There is no terror in the bang, only is the anticipation of it' - Alfred Hitchcock. Yet there is everything in correctly anticipating the bang a movie would make in the box-office. Movies make a high profile, billion dollar industry and prediction of movie revenue can be very lucrative. Predicted revenues can be used for planning both the production and distribution stages. For example, projected gross revenue can be used to plan the remuneration of the actors and crew members as well as other parts of the budget [1]. Success or failure of a movie can depend on many factors: star-power, release date, budget, MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) rating, plot and the highly unpredictable human reactions. The enormity of the number of exogenous variables makes manual revenue prediction process extremely difficult. However, in the era of computer and data sciences, volumes of data can be efficiently processed and modelled. Hence the tough job of predicting gross revenue of a movie can be simplified with the help of modern computing power and the historical data available as movie databases [2].
