The research is conducted with the intention to know the research productivity over 15 years (1999-2013), the citations received, collaborations, and authorship patterns. Web of Science (WoS) database was used for the bibliographic and citation data. Data were analysed by using bibliometric techniques and software such as HistCite, Intcoll, and Pajek. Results show that the research productivity of faculty members is increasing, their publications are getting good citations and thereby their journals have better Impact Factor. The faculty members have collaborated with prominent international researchers and have extended interdisciplinary research. The paper is based on empirical data exclusively gathered for this research.

The article reviews academic library's position with reference to the predictions made by the Report. The articles briefly refers to selected trends in higher education, mentioned in the Report and reviews and discusses academic library's present and future responses. The review and discussions are based on literature review. The articles finds that academic libraries are responding to the emerging trends in higher education through innovative practices and services. It concludes that in spite of their efforts, there is still scope for the academic libraries to improve their role in the changing higher education scenario and to prove their value.

sustainability in the growth of literature on classification in the first decade of the 21st century. It traces the pattern
in scattering of literature on classification in library and information science (LIS) journals and concludes that
the literature adheres to the Bradford’s law of scattering. It produces rank list of journals publishing the literature
on classification and identifies authorship patterns and the prominent writers in classification. The research finds
that the Indian LIS writers have shown sustained interest in classification domain.

and describes the tools of e-learning. The paper also compares the traditional education with e-learning and
states how both these methods complement each other.

Design/methodology/approach – The review is based on the literature published during January
to December 2010. For this purpose, literature on e-books was searched and retrieved from LISA,
LISTA, Emerald, Science Direct and J-store. E-books, electronic books, digital books, e-book reader,
were the keywords used for searching the literature in these databases. The literature is analyzed and
reviewed under various broad categories. Most of the literature reviewed is in English. Non-English
literature reported in the LISA is also considered.
Findings – In spite of the unconcluded debate of print versus electronic, popularity of e-books is
increasing and thereby the e-book market is growing at a very fast pace. User friendliness, cost,
portability are some of the reasons for the increased use of e-books. Varieties of e-book readers are
produced with different features. Copyright and DRM are the challenging issues. New e-book pricing
models are evolving with their own merits and demerits. Libraries are carrying out e-book usage
studies and are adopting innovative practices to promote e-books.
Practical implications – The paper is useful for LIS researchers, practitioners, e-book publishers
and aggregators for understanding current trends and for framing prospective policies.
Originality/value – The paper identifies trends based on published literature.

understanding of a given domain of interest, which in turn allows for the assignment of clear meaning to
learning object. Ontologies are used in artificial intelligence, biomedical informatics, library science, chemistry
and many other subjects. The purpose of this paper is to make the library professionals alert about the
literature published on ontology and applications of ontology.
