The study underscored the need to periodically conduct contents analysis of Nigerian university library websites. This is because the content of websites is supposed to be dynamic and episodic analysis assists in overcoming their weaknesses and challenges which ensure improved quality that meets web ranking metrics. Therefore, employing qualitative research approach and case study methodology, 42 (25%) Nigerian university library websites were purposely and proportionately selected for the study using stratified sampling technique. Using a modified checklist of Mehta and Trivedi (2015) prepared from quality models and WCAG, data was collected directly from the websites. The data collected was analyzed using ATLAS for Window and Mac Qualitative Data Analysis Software. The result of the data analysis shows a significant number of the selected Nigerian university library websites are well structured and possessed basic information, there are still many features and information that are absent in many of the websites. Also many of the websites are small and limited in scope, with most consisting of a single webpage or two to four interlinked pages, presenting their messages up-front instead of encouraging navigation through the sites. The research recommends among others the need for Nigerian university libraries, while improving their websites, to significant make the website more develop and complex by introducing index page on their websites
该研究强调了定期对尼日利亚大学图书馆网站进行内容分析的必要性。这是因为网站的内容应该是动态的,情景分析有助于克服它们的弱点和挑战,从而确保提高质量,满足网站排名指标。因此,采用定性研究方法和案例研究方法,采用分层抽样技术,有目的地按比例选择42个(25%)尼日利亚大学图书馆网站进行研究。使用Mehta和Trivedi(2015)根据质量模型和WCAG编制的修改清单,直接从网站收集数据。使用ATLAS for windows和Mac定性数据分析软件对收集的数据进行分析。数据分析的结果表明,大量入选的尼日利亚大学图书馆网站结构良好,具备基本信息,但仍有许多网站缺乏功能和信息。此外,许多网站规模很小,范围有限,大多数由一个网页或两到四个相互链接的页面组成,在前面展示他们的信息,而不是鼓励人们浏览网站。该研究建议尼日利亚大学图书馆在改进其网站的同时,通过在其网站上引入索引页,使网站更加发达和复杂

This paper aims to study the researchers’ practices and use of personal information management in the Pondicherry university Puducherry. A structured questionnaire was designed for the data collection on the basis of objectives of the study and it consists of both optional type questions and statements in five point Lickert scale. Laptop’ and ‘USB’ are the highly used PIM tools by the researchers. The study showed that research scholars use PIM tools for managing their personal information. Among the types of personal information stored, articles ranked first followed by text books. Google is found to be the most used source of information for PIM followed by attachments received through mails. Sending information to self is the most suitable method of storing personal information. The paper highlights the research scholars’ attitude towards personal information management.

Present bibliometric study based on scopus database and annual reports of Forest research Institute Dehradun. It is revealed that the institute published 808 research papers during 2010 to 2014. The main objective of the study were to find out the chronological research productivity. Most productive journal, Relative growth rate, Most cited journal etc. the study clears that multi authored research publications is more than single author. Majority of articles (581) published in national journals and 227 articles published in International journals. Highest productive year is 2011; Maximum value of collaboration Index is 3.474 in 2012 which means that the number of authors is more in collaboration.
