A total of 7,124 citations appended to 328 papers were published in the journal during the ten-year study period. Average number of citations per article is maximum in 2018. Out of 7,124 citations appended, 1,039 (14.58%) citations appeared in 2010, followed by 873 (12.28%) citations in 2018, and 831 (11.66%) citations in 2013. The findings reveal that a majority of the papers have 16-20 citations (25%), followed by 11-15 (14.93%) citations, and 6-10 (14.02%) citations. The study also depicts that out of the total, 5,081 (71.29%) Web references were used in the article references. The Annals of Library and Information Science is the most preferred journal used by authors during the study period, being cited 476 times. The authorship pattern reveals that two-author citations are in the majority (46.45%). Out of the total authors who contributed a total of 328 papers, 254 (77.43%) were affiliated to the institutions located in India.

The scientometrics study is based on the authorship pattern of academic libraries research from 2006 to 2020. The data was downloaded from the Web of Science database, which is maintained by Thomson Reuters. The total number of records was 3,452. Data is analysed using Microsoft Excel and HistCite software. The main purpose of the study is to find out the authorship pattern of academic libraries in a scientometric study. This study fully focused on finding out authorship pattern of single and multiple authors, relative growth rate, degree of collaboration, and exponential growth rate. The study findings reveal that a total of 3,452 publications were published in academic libraries during 2006-2020 (15 years). The highest number of publications-628 (18.19%)-was in 2020. The highest number of paper publications was by single authors-849 (2.46%). The extent of research contributions by the authors is explained under authorship pattern; out of 3,452, a majority number of authors was 2,603. The relative growth rate of total contributions published had gradually increased and the growth rate was calculated as 0.68 in 2007, which increased to 1.7 in 2020.

Design/Methodology: For this research, the secondary data of the NPTEL and E-PGP is used to measure the e-content availability for the students. This paper analyses the difference in e-content developed across subject categories and a comparison of e-content developed by NPTEL and E-PGP.
Approach: This programme offers financial assistance and professional help for the creation of e-content for teachers and other specialists located at various colleges and universities. The approach of the paper is empirical, with an analysis of the data gathered from secondary sources.
Originality/Value: e-content development by two major content development projects (NPTEL and E-PGP) across multiple subject categories and courses are analysed in the research; further, it measures whether sufficient course material is available in all the subjects from the NPTEL and E-PGP.
Findings: The results, with ANOVA and chi-square test by SPSS software, revealed significant disparity in the subject and category; further, the E-PGP has more, and significantly high quality e-content.

The study used bibliometric methods to analyse data retrieved from the Scopus database. Google Spreadsheet and VOSviewer software were used for the analysis and visualisation. The research covers mainly the year-wise publication, the most productive authors, the subject areas, the types of documents, preferred publications, research collaboration, and highly cited articles. This study showed that the Central University of Himachal Pradesh (CUHP) published 442 publications and received 5,531 citations during 2011-2020. Akhter, Y. from the School of Life Sciences had published the highest number (60) and received 746 citations, with an ACPP of 12.43 and h-index of 16. It was also found that most of the publications of CUHP have collaborated with Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University at the national level and Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil, at the international level.

A descriptive survey research design was embraced for the study, with a self-constructed questionnaire as the tool of data collection. The questionnaire was constructed after consultation of related literature to ensure that relevant items were included in it. A structured questionnaire was designed by the researchers with six research questions. The population of the study comprised all teenagers in day secondary school in Delta State, Nigeria. The researchers used a simple random sampling method in selecting samples for the study, because the method allows members of the populace under study to have equal chances of being selected. Data was collected through the use of a self-constructed questionnaire entitled 'The use of social media by teenagers in day secondary (USMTDS)'. The data collected were analysed using simple percentages and descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that a majority of the respondents have access to social media and the devices used were bought for them by their parents; Facebook is mostly used by teenagers; teenagers access social media during the day; they did not know the length of time they spent on social media; teenagers used social media for academic matters; teenagers are monitored by parents on social media; and social media exposes teenagers to pornography materials. The paper recommended that efforts should be made by parents to ensure constant monitoring and supervision of teenagers on social media to reduce the crime rate, as well as restrict the sites they can access.

Service is the main factor for the development of an organisation. The Library and Information Centre is a non-profit organisation. Its main objective is to provide the required information to the users, according to the user's satisfaction and based on priority. User satisfaction is a very important aspect of a library; providing the best services is the primary need for the fulfilment of the objectives of a library. This paper is based on a study of the library and information services provided by different college libraries in the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli. A researcher has tried to understand how many college libraries have a rich collection, good infrastructure, best facilities, and the type of library and information services provided to their users.
