Dear LIS Professionals,

 


Today I was reading an article on Knowledge Management & I have seen a term in that article "PUSH TECHNOLOGY". It has left a strong influence or impression on my mind & i have become curious to know more about the term. So lets start a new discussion on Push Technology.

 

What is push technology?
where we use this technology?
What is the influence of it on LIS Professionals? etc.

 

Your responses will be highly appreciated.

 

 

Thanks & regards,

Dear Yaseen,

The term souns interesting............Before commenting anything, I would like to know the title and author of the article of which you have read the term.
Hi,
Push Technology is the process of automating the searching and delivery of content to a user's PC. Unlike traditional hunt-and-gather methods — using search engines like Google or AltaVista to actively seek out information on the Internet or an intranet — push is relatively passive, requiring little human interaction.

Users subscribe to content "channels" that correspond to various topics or categories such as current events, financial information, industry specific news, sports and entertainment, and updated stock quotes. The type of information and the frequency of delivery can be configured to suit an individual user's preference.

For details please read this

Dear Gautam,

Yeah Exactly Gutam the term is very interesting that's by i could not stop myself to publish it among the LIS Professional to know more about the term. Well for your kind attention the article's title is "Opportunities for Librarians/Information Managers in Managing Explicit Knowledge in the Internet Era by D. Gayatri"

If have more information so please let me know.

Thanks & regards,

Dear Yaseen,
AS i observed from many documents, "push technology is that tech, through in which users can get information on their desktops without requesting of same. eg. suppose anyone have desktop gadgets for currency conversion or weather information.
on other hands 'pull technology' that technology through users get information on request basis on their desktops.
e.g. subscription of RSS feeds of any website.

thanks

Hi
Push Technology is nothing but the communication through the internet or you can say that “Internet based communication” technology. Audio-Video Conferencing, Instant Messaging, email are the example of Push Technology.LIS professionals use this service for the online reference service, send the reminder, let the patrons keep update about the latest development of their libraries.

Push technology is very much like a free version of magazine home delivery. Simply put, push technology automatically delivers information through channels which are delivered directly  to your desktop throughout the day. Think of channels as magazines; they can contain news, sports scores, stock information, and even     links to other places on the Internet where you can find more information on a particular topic.

How does push technology work? Most push technology content  providers require you to give them a few pieces of personal information, for example, where you live, the names of your favorite sports teams, what stocks you follow, and other areas of interest.  The push content provider then enters this information into a
   "server-side" database (a "server side" database is a database that  is kept on one of the push content provider's computers, or  "servers"). The push content provider then uses this database to determine what information you might be interested in and when they  should send that information to you.
