With the changing scenario in information generation, need, availability and dissemination the libraries' perspective is changing very rapidly. In pandemic situation the need and methods are also changed at large scale at ground level. The different meanings of the phrase “Library 2.0” as it is used in discussions on librarianship, and its relationship to Web 2.0; and the potential uses of social software (e.g. blogs, news feeds, social bookmarking) to enhance interaction with library users are discussed in this paper by the authors.

The library's website is seen as a communication tool, helping to create and publish information regarding its activities and services. Creating and maintaining an interactive library website requires technical knowledge, money, and time. And keeping the library website in the traditional way creates problems even for library staff with little technical skills. Content management systems (CMS) are computer software systems to organize, view and facilitate the creation of collaborative content. They consist of predefined modules and functions for managing and organizing website content. Using the content management system, library professionals can create and update the website's focus on content and don't have to worry about the layout. This document verifies the scope of the content management system for the library building website.

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a set of clinical syndromes with a common pathophysiological basis, and is usually considered to be an immune-mediated disorder of the peripheral nervous system. GBS is usually characterized by symmetrical flaccid paralysis with areflexia, which usually reaches a maximum severity within four weeks. To identify the predictive factors associated with prognosis in the Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), which can be helpful to fully evaluate the disease progression and provide proper treatments. GBS is usually self-limiting, and most patients either recover completely or only retain minor residual symptoms. But there are still several patients who may face severe out-comes including death. In our study, GBS prognostic factor are studied and relevance is found regarding the disorder.Literature was searched using many electronic databases. Additionally, reference list of most prominent articles were searched to increase the search accuracy, as much as possible. Studies which are evaluating the factors which are affecting recovery after GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME.This suggests that there are certain infections causing GBS into the patient, also it occurs by a weak immune response to illness.

The emergence of digital technology and computer networking have provided means where by Information can be stored, retrieved, disseminated, and duplicated in a very fast manner. Digital libraries have made considerable advances, both in technology and its applications. The digital library initiatives at international level are many, but in developing counties like India they are still in a nascent stage. But with initiative like Google Books Projects, Million Book Project, initiated by Carnegie Mellon University, the culture of digital library has also made a beginning in India. This paper discusses the various national and international digital library initiatives projects like Million Book Project, Google Books Projects, NDL, NDLTD.WDL, ICDL, Kalasampada, Shodhganga, KhudaBaksh OrientalPublic Library,Vidyanidhi etc.

Library websites play an essential role in collecting and sharing information or sources for users. Today it is a common platform to interact with users without their behavior. A website survey certainly helps us to identify and analyse available content to obtain rich and suitable information by evaluating the current website's improvement. The present study evaluates the contents of the nine central university library websites of the North East India. A checklist has been developed to collect library facilities, library collections, university webpage accessibility, link searches, and the retrieval interface. The purpose of this article is to help website developers, and administrators better understand the current state of these university websites so that they may provide more informative, up-to-date information, authentic information, user-friendly, and dynamic methods to users based on their needs.

Bibliometrics is the discipline where quantitative methods were employed to probe the scientific communication process by measuring and analyzing various aspects of written documents. It helps to monitor the growth of literature and patterns of research. The present paper is based on the analysis of IP Indian Journal of Library Science and Information Technology (IJLSIT) with the help of bibliometrics parameters during the period 2016 to 2020. Among the several bibliometric parameters, the study utilizes mainly the number of articles per volume or year, authorship pattern, collaborative pattern, top-most authors, state-, designation-& affiliation-wise contribution, reference per article count, cited resources type, research trends and research interests. The research data of this study collected manually, analysed with the help of an MS Excel spreadsheet and distinguished according to different types of bibliometric elements. The findings of the study suggested that in IJLSIT, the maximum number of articles published in the year 2019 (25.74%), 53.47% (54) articles contributed by a single author, and the overall collaboration rate is 0.47. Furthermore, 90% (91) of articles contributed by Indian authors and Hemantha Kumar G.H. is the most productive author. Maharastra (18.81%) being the most contributed Indian state, Benue State University & Rayalaseema University (4.95%) being the most contributed institutions and College Librarians are the most designated contributors (20.79%). The study further revealed that 0-5 pages are the most common length, 6-10 references are the most common references used per article, and periodicals are the most commonly cited reference types. The area “Digital Library” is nurtured most among researchers, whereas, the year 2018, vol. 3, issue 1 consists of the maximum views number (18.01%) and the year 2020, vol. 5, issue 1 has the most number of downloads (22.92%).

An open access repository or open archive is a digital platform that holds research output and provides free, immediate and permanent access to research results for anyone to use, download and distribute. To facilitate open access such repositories must be interoperable according to the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). Search engines harvest the content of open access repositories, constructing a database of worldwide, free of charge available research. OpenDOAR is the quality-assured, global Directory of Open Access Repositories. Its repositories provide free, open access to academic outputs and resources. This paper deals with Comparative analysis of India and Australia repositories listed in OpenDOAR in terms of their growth, type, operational status, content type, software, subject coverage, language and policies regarding content, submission, and preservation.

Predatory publication is the latest threats emerged to the integrity of academic publishing. These publications in open access and paid journals have paved the way for low?quality articles. These publications lack the authentication of appropriateness of publications such as peer review, editing, editorial boards, editorial offices, and other editorial standards, imposing a number of new ethical issues in publishing research papers. Research publications carry significant importance in Indian universities when considering faculty selection, promotions, and increment. It is utmost responsibility of authors to promote publication ethics. Currently the government is cracking down on predatory publication practice. Academic agency like UGC and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) made fully responsible for ensuring quality control and monitoring of academic journals. Librarians have a key role to play in educating users about predatory publishing. Collaborative efforts of authors, library professional and government agencies may prevent predatory publications.
