About the Book

Knowledge Librarianship: A Data-Driven Approach is an edited volume that explores the growing importance of data-driven decision-making in Library and Information Science. Bringing together scholarly contributions from library professionals, researchers, and information scientists across India, the book provides diverse perspectives on the use of metric analyses to evaluate research, information resources, and digital content.

The volume offers an extensive overview of bibliometrics, scientometrics, informatics, cybermetrics, and webometrics, demonstrating how data analysis can be used to improve library services, enhance user engagement, optimize resource utilization, and support evidence-based planning. It highlights the role of data interpretation, citation analysis, publication assessment, and web-based metrics in helping libraries make informed decisions and better serve their communities.

Organized into three major themes—Bibliometric Analysis of Research Publications, Scientometric Analysis of Research Literature, and Webometric Analysis of Content and Websites—the book presents carefully selected research papers that reflect current trends and methodologies in the field. It is an essential resource for librarians, researchers, information professionals, faculty members, and Library and Information Science students interested in research analytics and data-driven librarianship.
