Subjectwise distribution is maximum (37%) in the field of Public/Digital/Academic Libraries. India ranks at 11th position with 4 publications which shows its lower share in this journal. The average number of citation per article and the mean page length of all the papers during the year 2001 to 2009 are found 2.004 and 11.10 respectively. All the studies will be helpful for its further development.
