Present paper reports the results of a study conducted to ascertain the use of the libraries of colleges of education by the students of B.Ed. course in Punjab. A survey was conducted through questionnaire to know the opinion of students about the resources and services of their respective college libraries. In total 1119 questionnaires were administered and 1084 were received back completed. Users‟ responses on different aspects including frequency of visit to libraries, purpose of visiting, type of documents used, awareness about library services, use of resources and services, satisfaction with resources and services etc. has been discussed. An overview of the growth and development of teacher education institutions has been provided. A brief account of the NCTE norms and standards about libraries of colleges of education is also given.Keywords

The implementation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has revolutionised the information availability, accessibility and utilization. The Open Access movement is one of the greatest accomplishments of ICTs. It takes information to the doorsteps of the users without any charges and provides more visibility to the information generators. The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) has added a new chapter to the Open Access literature. Having its origin in 2002 with 30 journals, the Directory provides access to more than 6600 journals in various disciplines. The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries have contributed total 431 journals in different subjects to DOAJ up to 20.06.2011. The present paper evaluates the contribution of SAARC nations to DOAJ. It is concluded that India and Pakistan are the dominant contributors to DOAJ among SAARC countries.Keywords

The present study aims to examine the research impact of open access journals in the subject of animal sciences. The Impact Factor (IF) of journals, National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS) rating of journals, SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) and h-index are the parameters used to assess the research impact of periodicals enlisted in Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) under the subject headings 'Animal Culture' and 'Veterinary Medicine'. The findings revealed that more than 1/3rd of total 126 OA journals have succeeded to attain IF and NAAS rating. Despite this, only 6 of these journals have been able to find place in the core list of veterinary journals suggested by the Ohio State University. As large majority of journals got listed in DOAJ during 2011-2013, the research impact of OA has to be tested over the period.Keywords

Purpose: The study outlines the growth of scientific literature on Azadirachta indica in journals applying bibliometric analysis. The purpose is to provide an overview of the research activities on the subject, exploring different aspects of scientific literature. Methodology: The data was accessed in the month of August 2015 using the 'PubMed'. An advanced search was conducted in the database using the phrase 'Azadirachta indica' and alternative search terms including 'neem', 'indian lilac' and 'margosa'. The search results were filtered for journal articles, English language and up to the year 2014. A total of 1198 results were found fulfilling the search criteria. The data was downloaded in Excel format and then analyzed. The data analysis was performed using frequencies and percentages of publications. Besides, Lotka's law had been applied to assess the author productivity and Bradford's law of scattering was used to ascertain the distribution pattern of articles. Findings: A high degree of research/ authorship collaboration (.9472) on Azadirachta indica was found. All except 05.28% articles were works of joint authorship. Author productivity considering first author as well as all authors did not fit Lotka's law with a value of n=2. The distribution of articles in journals was found nearly acceptable to the Bradford's law of scattering making it obvious that there are a few core journals contributing significantly on Azadirachta indica. Originality: The paper provides an overview of the research activities on Azadirachta indica.Keywords

The study analyses the dynamics of scientific output on ‘Bovine Viral Diarrhoea’ (BVD) published in journals, applying scientometric tools. The data was gathered from ‘Scopus’ database, conducting an advanced search for phrase ‘Bovine Viral Diarrhoea’ and substitute terms including ‘Bovine Virus Diarrhoea’, ‘Bovine Viral Diarrhea’ and ‘Bovine Virus Diarrhea’ as main operators for analytical purposes. The retrieved data was filtered for English language journal articles, for the period up to 31st December 2015, yielding 3561 relevant results. The different scientometric indicators of literature on BVD including it is growth, authorship, collaboration, publication pattern, geographical distribution, etc. were computed. International collaboration and keyword landscapes were visualized.Keywords
