Presents an assessment of contributions on Himachal Pradesh to agriculture and allied fields based on publications indexed in AGRICOLA, AGRIS, CAB Abstracts and FSTA CD-ROM databases during 1990-1994. Attempts to provide detailed analysis of 2,451 contributions on Himachal Pradesh covered by the databases of the study period. This macroscopic study tries to answer questions such as which institutions are carrying out the research, in which journals, contributions on Himachal Pradesh get published, in what sub-fields the contributors are strong, and so on. The paper maps the field under the following heads; quantum of production, form-wise distribution, authorship pattern, institutions, ranking of periodicals, subject dispersion, citation study, length of publications, languages of publications, languages of summaries, country-wise productivity, state-wise productivity and classification by journal impact factor.Keywords

The Resource Guide is a unified platform curated and administered by subject specialists, librarians, and liaisons, offering users access to a wide array of resources. Traditionally known by various names such as Pathfinder, bibliography, virtual reference collection, online guide, online tutorial, toolkit, or web guide, it serves as a comprehensive tool. Its primary purpose is to assist users in locating resources specific to their subject areas, staying updated on new resources, and connecting them to relevant, easily understandable information. At Central Library, IIT Delhi, diverse platforms like the library website, social media, online catalogues, Pathfinder, single search engine, and mobile app are utilized to promote library resources. However, these platforms may lack subject-level resources. This raises the question of designing and developing an online platform or resource base that consolidates and enables users to access various resources, including print resources, e-resources, professional development resources, open-access resources, and social media resources. This endeavour aims to meet the present and future needs of users in their respective disciplines. To explore this concept further, a pilot implementation of a web-based resource guide has been initiated at Central Library, IIT Delhi. This paper investigates how SubjectsPlus, an open-source tool, can facilitate the creation and management of web-based resource guides that promote the use of library and scholarly resources on the web.Keywords

In the digital era, libraries have been acquiring and subscribing to various types of digital resources. Each e-resource possesses distinct formats and search requirements, offers multiple access and authentication methods, and involves complex licensing agreements. Therefore, effectively managing these diverse e-resources necessitates a system that simplifies the processes of acquisition, access, and organization. An Electronic Resource Management System (ERMS) presents a potential solution for centralizing these operations. Numerous open-source and commercial ERMS solutions are available and utilized in libraries worldwide. Nevertheless, numerous studies have revealed that libraries face financial constraints as well as limitations in terms of ICT infrastructure. An ideal solution should be both cost-effective and require minimal ICT infrastructure. Koha is one such software that has gained popularity in library automation, making it a viable option for managing e-resources. This study explores the implementation of Koha 22.11 for managing a library’s e-resources. The study aims to investigate existing features and functionalities of Koha in the context of libraries.Keywords
