These websites are considered as a most successful media to delivery various type of information. The library's website disseminates information about its facilities, services and other information related to that particular library and its activities. This study attempts to analyse the content which is reflected in the websites of five Small State Public Libraries of India. Further, it tries to assess and explore the basic information of the public libraries such as facilities provided, services offered, and other information available on the library websites of five State Central (Public) Libraries of India between 1 st to 14 th July 2023, by using a checklist. The outcomes of this results discovered that the great part of the state public library websites are giving information with respect to the basic information about the library, sections of the public library, electronic resources, value added services but, lacking of FAQ's, Printing facility, Social Networking Sites. It is also discovered from this study that, Sikkim and Mizoram State Central Library websites need to improve much.

By focusing on areas of research strength and building upon them, institutions can enhance their reputation and attract external funding and partnerships. The analysis of eight engineering college faculty members' publications and citations in Belagavi district of Karnataka, India is a valuable contribution to the understanding of research productivity in this region. The findings of this research indicate that there are several areas where academic institutions can improve their research productivity and address gender disparities in academia. Research in humanities subjects is very low. The research indicates that only a few departments are producing a significant number of research articles and citations. Institutions can support departments with lower research productivity by providing resources such as funding, research assistants, and training and development opportunities. Gogte Institute of Technology is the top college in research publications and citations also. Use of the Google Scholar database for this research is a valuable tool for identifying research productivity and citations over a period of time. This study can provide insights and suggestions for engineering college faculty members and management to make informed decisions on how to improve research productivity and impact.
