Dear Mondal,

Librarians are meant to preserve and process the set of knowledge in organized way to produce more than available, proved by scholars time to time. Big data is a concept where scholars are searching scope for better future may be in marketing, knowledge generation, trend analysis etc. If we talk about the process of big data and citation analysis both are quite similar. Citation analysis predicts something may be trends, effects, and outcome etc. of community or individual in fix duration. Big Data analysis is similar in process of citation analysis.

If we focus on your question then I would like to add my views that the concept of big is emerging trends of analysis and research which require the new tools and techniques to complete the process of analysis. Big data will bring lots of scopes for library professional because it is going to create a new field of study, hence, new subject, new knowledge, new skills generation programme etc. all these will be included in course curriculum and finally it will reflect in library and then the challenges will begin that how librarians are taking part in big data analysis and what the role they are playing.

Big Data analysis will bridge and will bring the solutions to overcome on the problems of unorganized knowledge may be known as information explosion. Lot of information has been generated in web 2.0 environment due to use of uncontrolled vocabulary. Big data analysis is more focused on  the these kind of vocabulary and to intended to give a controlled meaning and many more.

So be ready, and keep following the new trends and be updated with the trends, talk with those who are working on big data may be in India or out of boundary and get your queries solved.

I will update you if I will get something...

Thanks...
