About the Book

This edited volume presents a comprehensive overview of contemporary research trends and emerging issues in the field of Library and Information Science (LIS). Featuring contributions from fourteen LIS researchers, the book brings together diverse perspectives on some of the most significant areas of research and professional practice in modern librarianship.

The chapters explore a wide range of topics including scholarly communication, the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on libraries, citation analysis, open-source software applications in academic libraries, e-book usage patterns, information-seeking behavior, information literacy, user information needs, occupational stress among LIS professionals, bibliotherapy as a tool for supporting student mental health, strategies for protecting library assets, and the evolving role of community libraries.

By integrating theoretical discussions with practical insights and contemporary research findings, the book aims to bridge the gap between academic study and professional application. It provides readers with a deeper understanding of the challenges, opportunities, and innovations shaping the future of Library and Information Science.

An essential resource for researchers, students, librarians, educators, and information professionals, this volume serves as a valuable guide to the evolving landscape of LIS research and practice.
