The 17 SDGs and 169 targets illustrate the scale and ambition of this new universal agenda. The present study presents a bibliometric analysis of research publications on adult literacy related to SDG-4 from 1989 to 2024, aiming to evaluate existing knowledge, identify emerging trends, and uncover research gaps. Analysing a dataset of 3428 publications sourced from the Web of Science database, the frequency analysis was performed with Microsoft Excel, and citation metrics, along with additional analysis, were carried out using R-package software. The results of this study are documented with standard bibliometric indicators, which encompass source title, source type, document type, publi¬ cationyear, keyword analysis, authorship, citation analysis, and geographical distribution. Our findings indicate that adult literacy and SDG-4 publications significantly increased from 2011 to 2016. The three leading journals in the field are the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, Reading Research Quar¬ terly, and Reading and Writing. Developed countries like the USA and the UK have contributed most to adult literacy and SDG-4 research. Further, the study’s findings enhance understanding of the current landscape of SDG4 and related knowledge, aiding in the prioritization of future research and effective resource allocation, all while working towards the realization of the SDGs by 2030.

This study evaluates user perception, awareness, and satisfaction with green library initiatives at Gautam Buddha Central Library (GBCL), Babasaheb BhimraoAmbedkar University (BBAU), Lucknow. A structured survey collected data from 125 respondents and analyzed using descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing. Findings reveal that users associate green libraries with eco-friendly infrastructure, renewable energy, energy conservation, and waste management. While 64% of respondents were aware of green library concepts, a significant portion lacked familiarity, highlighting the need for awareness programs. Hypothesis testing showed no significant relationship between gender or educational qualification and awareness, suggesting that institutional efforts play a more decisive role ir shaping perceptions. Users expressed high satisfaction with natural lighting anc green spaces but reported moderate satisfaction with waste management anc environmental awareness initiatives. The study emphasizes the need for strategic policies, sustainability-focused engagement, and broader institutional efforts tc enhance green library practices.

Google Trends, a widely used platform, provides valuable insights into search behaviour by tracking the popularity of specific search terms over time and across geographic locations. The present paper explores the utility of Google Trends in analysing the search interest in the "Ram Mandir" topic, particularly focusing on its relevance in understanding societal sentiments, public discourse, and information-seeking behaviours. Ram Mandir's temporal variations in online search interest are examined through Google Trends data from 2008 to 2023. The objectives include examining variations in search interest across different periods, forecasting temporal trends, analysing geographical variations, and identifying relevant search queries and topics. Statistical and machine learning models were employed for trend forecasting, including AutoARIMA, Random Forest, Support Vector Regression (SVR), and Neural Network. The study revealed consistent but intermittent fluctuations in search interest within India, with Support Vector Regression demonstrating superior performance. Conversely, global interest remained steady, reflecting sustained but moderate engagement. Geographically, regions such as Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh showed the highest search interest, possibly linked to cultural or historical connections. Analysis of related search queries unveiled multifaceted dimensions, encompassing religious, historical, political, and infrastructure themes. Furthermore, this study addresses research gaps by utilising Google Trends to investigate cultural phenomena and religious landmarks, offering insights into digital representations of cultural discourse. This study contributes to understanding the interplay between digital media, culture, and society, shedding light on the evolving nature of public discourse in the digital era.

dissemination for scholarly communication. The institutional repositories act as central digital archive
to make research and intellectual outcomes of the institutions available online to their needy ones. The
paper discusses the concept, need, pros and cons related to institutional repositories. Besides this, paper
also discusses the survey results based on its framed objectives and concluded that DSpace & EPrints
are most prevalent software for the purpose.

interaction with other. Use of web 2.0 technology make closer to everyone. It is an up
gradation of traditional web and offer many more advanced features and services to
the users. Now many institutions of India as well abroad are using this web 2.0
technologies for communication and share their information. This paper discusses
the concepts and characteristics of web 2.0 followed by the use of Web 2.0
technologies by IITs and IIMs, leading institutions of engineering and management
of India. The survey shows that all the IIM's and many IIT’s are using Web 2.0 tools
now.

Web 2.0 is like human. The theme of web 2.0 is a founder of theme 2.0 and it influenced the library services too. The web 2.o could be seen as coequally part of the evolution revolution. Through it, users will see the face of the library and librarians will guide them via electronic methods. On the one hand it extends much of what we have been doing for years through the use of standards such as HTML, URLS and HTTP and ubiquitous web browser. On other hands it challenges the outdated attitudes towards the right of users,
their choice and improvement. The advent of web 2.0 and its tools provide better library services in the present era.

changes for the world. These challenges have greatly affected institutions like Libraries.
Inspite of these challenges, the role and expectations of libraries and library professionals can
never be diminished. With the global shift from print to non-print sources libraries have
managed themselves very well. This paper deals with the rapidly changing role of library
professionals in the present day internet information environment and focuses on the current
trends, opportunities and challenges for libraries and library professionals

read or borrow in a library. Recent advances in computers storage and processing, communication technologies, e-product,
networking and internet uses have brought a revolutionary change in functioning of the libraries and its services. ICT makes
a lot of impact on library and it has changed the concept of library where print and paper media are the main components
of library system. To meet tremendous information explosion and high demand of information, libraries are now changes in
digital library. Due to digitizing the library resources and fast changing technology, a new type of library is came in existence
which is called- virtual library. Many of us are always very much confused about such terminology of library. In this paper we
try to clear the concept of these libraries terminology in a professional way.
