The adoption of digital technologies, obstacles encountered, and overall impact on library services are the primary focus of this paper, which examines the various aspects of digital transformation in the Indian library sector. The use of digital repositories, the implementation of integrated library management systems (ILMS), and the digitization of library collections are crucial components of this transformation. Library operations have been streamlined, information access has increased, and user experiences have been improved as a result of these advancements. The study examines a number of case studies of Indian libraries that have successfully adopted digital technologies, highlighting innovative solutions and best practices. It also addresses issues like the digital divide, a lack of funding, and the requirement for knowledgeable personnel to manage digital systems. The paper also discusses how government programs and policies can help libraries become more digitally literate and promote digital literacy. It demonstrates how crucial it is for the public and private sectors to work together to bring about this change. According to the findings, although significant progress has been made, there is still a great deal of work to be done to ensure that all Indian libraries can fully utilize digital technologies. Increased investments in digital infrastructure, ongoing staff training, and a greater emphasis on user-centered service design are among the recommendations for future actions.

Every state, one or more institutes/universities, offers LIS education. The research papers contributed by both academics and working professionally in the libraries. The analysis of cocitations of reference sources or cited sources indicated that "Scientometric," and "Annals of library and information studies" mentioned in their articles. Kewwords: Bibliometric; Citation analysis; Library and information science; LIS research trends. Introduction : The quality of education and research work can be traced by the publications and citations to the research works. Moreover, the University Grant Commission (UGC) is playing an essential role in the quality of educations and research in India. As per the Gazette Notification of the Government of India, every research scholar should publish at least one paper in a refereed journal and two papers presented at the conference during Ph.D. (University Grants Commission, 2016).In India, there have been large numbers of bibliometrics papers published in different areas. Objectives : There is still a lack of published literature on LIS contributions in India. Consequently, this current study fills the gap by analyzing LIS publications from 2014 to 2018. The objectives of current research are to find out the current trends of LIS research in India during the year 2014 to 2018. Further, the study is to identify the newly emerging areas of research in LIS field. The study is also identifying the yearly growth citation and contributions, most prolific authors, core journals, core areas of research authorship pattern and degree of collaboration in LIS field in India. The study has the following objectives: (a) Examine the pattern of growth of the research publications output in the discipline of LIS during 2004-2015. (b) Examine the distribution of output by performing sectors like academic institutions and government funded R&D organisations (c) Identify the most prolific research institutions in the field of LIS in India and their citation impact; (d) Identify the most prolific Indian authors and the citation impact of their research output (e) Identify the most preferred journals used for communicating research results (f) Examine the pattern of citations and to identify the highly cited papers.

is to know the various types of best practices provided by
academic libraries for the effective use of e-resources. It will

in academic libraries. As we are aware that fast development
in the field of Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) have had an impact on the functioning of academic li-
braries. The developments in ICT have changed the users’ ex-
pectations in different ways. So Academic librarians are build-

their needs and demands. To meet the end user’s demands
effectively academic libraries need to identify and adopt good
practices. The traditional concept of going in to the library
and acquiring information by hand is gradually replaced by
accessing information online. The collections of modern li-
braries are not restricted to print media only but libraries
actively purchasing, subscribing and archiving the electronic
resources due to its diverse nature like eco-friendly, time sav-
