The study provides a comparative assessment of the research contribution of the Mysore University and the Karnatak University in terms of publications output in science and technology, its growth and citation impact during 2001-10. It analyses the strong and weak subject areas of universities research and their citation impact. It describes the international collaborative share of research output of the universities at the overall level, indicating the contribution of the major collaborating partner countries. It also provides analyses of the national collaborating links of the two universities; with a view to study their collaborating linkages with academic institutions, institutes of national importance, research institutions and industry. It also studies the contribution and citation impact of the top 15 most productive authors and also the productivity of their most productive journals, where the two universities authors have published.Keywords

The primary objective of this study is to understand students' views about Internet usage in Lala Lajpat Rai College of Commerce and Economics, Mumbai. A questionnaire survey was undertaken. The min findings are: (1) A high degree of awareness about the benefits of Internet among students; (2) the library, computer lab. Cyber cafe and home are deemed the most convenient places to access Internet; (3). The major purpose of students' accessing Internet is education and entertainment; (4) students strongly agree that project work, quick and reliable communication, and the availability of updated information are motivating factors for using the Internet; (5). The study confirmed that Google is the most used search engine, followed by Yahoo; however, students were not aware of the advanced search strategy provided by these search engines, thus failing to make informed searches on the Internet.; (6) Internet use skills were acquired by majority of student by self-study and what they learnt through their friends; the study reveals that in the present Internet influenced academic environment, information literacy skills to use Internet effectively is a necessity. (7) Though students consider themselves smart enough to use the Internet, there are several problems they face in accessing the Internet. While they know that the needed information is available on the Internet, they are not sure about its completeness. And also, students feel that they lack the knowledge and skills needed to make informed searches to retrieve reliable and complete informationKeywords

As the acceptance and popularity of e-resources increases day by day, the number of e-journals and the on the databases that the faculty and students of management and allied subjects want to access is increasing geometrically. Though libraries have considerable e-resources presently in their collection, it is not sufficient to meet the growing needs of the users. In such a scenario, a solution that ensures access to a wider array of online databases at a much lesser cost is through consortium of libraries. Hence, more and more specialist libraries are opting for it.
This study based on a survey of select libraries examines in some detail the availability of e-resources, their utilization at the management institute libraries affiliated to the University of Mumbai, Mumbai. Further it also studies the librarians' opinion about formation of Mumbai Management Libraries Consortia.
