Eighty doctoral dissertations submitted to the Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya (BCKV) and Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya (UBKV), West Bengal from 1991-2010 by the research scholars of horticulture are taken as the source materials. A total number of 10845 references were appended to the eighty dissertations, of which, 8437 were journal articles. A study on twenty-year data of journals cited by the horticulture scientists was carried out to examine the applicability of Bradford’s law of scattering. Applicability of Bradford’s law was tested. The journal distribution pattern of the horticulture doctoral dissertations does not fit the Bradford’s distribution pattern. The distribution of the journals in three zones was made and the number of references in each zone was then estimated.Keywords

The present study is concerned with Web analysis of library webpages of national institutes in West Bengal, India, in order to know the types of e-resources and online library services provided by those libraries during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study explores the significant initiatives taken by the libraries on online library support services being offered to meet the requirements of the library patrons during the lockdown. The researcher visited the selected library webpages of said institutes for collecting relevant information with the help of Google Search Engines between March 2021 and April 2021. It is clear from the study that any library user can easily access the libraries of IIM, Kolkata; ISI, Kolkata; IIT, Kharagpur; IIEST, Shibpur; and NUJS, Kolkata, through their library homepages. The remaining eight institute library webpages are accessed through the institute websites. A major finding is that the IIT library provided maximum information on online library support services on their library webpage, with 24 points (out of 30 points), thus ranking first, followed by ISI with 16 points ranking second, and both IIM and NUJS with 12 points ranking third. The main purpose of this study is to highlight the types of e-resources and online library services provided by libraries of national institutes in West Bengal during the COVID-19 pandemic, based on a Web analysis of the contents available on their library webpages.Keywords
