“…This poses a di culty when evaluating their impact within the rankings. Nonetheless, it remains important for HEIs to recognize the evolving nature of access to resources and adapt accordingly in order to meet the changing needs of the knowledge society (Kumar et al, 2021;Utkirov, 2023).…”

Purpose – The aim of this study is to explore the views of young and experienced professionals in Uzbekistan and their relevance to labour market requirements in order to improve employment. Design/methodology/approach – The data was collected using a quantitative approach; online semi-structured questionnaire was disseminated to 607 WIUT alumni students applying a Likert Scale question. Findings – The results indicate that WIUT library program is current and well-planned. However, the activities do not fully meet the needs of young and experienced graduates. Shortage of staff impacted on applying LRC curriculum effectively. Research limitations – The factors that impact an individual's income are numerous, and the data that has been collected is not in-depth enough to make substantive correlations between library usage and income. Practical implications – The findings will assist in planning LRC activities and developing teaching approaches at WIUT. Furthermore, existing and new graduates can advance market driven skills and boost their employability. Originality/value – This research is the initial investigation conducted in Uzbekistan that examines how university library operations impact the employability skills of graduates. It is also one of the earliest studies that looks into the experiences of former students in terms of employability skills.

“…Five principal parameters (NIRF, 2018) used in NIRF ranking in the overall category of institutions are as follows: Teaching, Learning and Resources, Research and Professional Practice, Graduation Outcomes, Outreach and Inclusivity and Peer Perception. To assess the status quo of ILS and WSDS transitions, we examined the "Overall" category, as this category is discipline-independent and has a minimum of 1,000 full time students in undergraduate and graduate programmes (NIRF, 2020b), and institutions that are investing on library services were found to be ranked higher as Kumar et al (2021) evidenced that there is a correlation between library expenditure and rankings. For this study, all the 200 top institutions were selected for data collection from the "Overall" category, and we evaluated their institutional library websites, specifically their ILS and WSDS platforms used.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine integrated library systems (ILS) and web-scale discovery services (WSDS) of the National Institute of Ranking Framework’s (NIRF) top-ranked universities for the “Overall” category in the 2020 rankings. Further, the authors analyse how the ILS-WSDS transitions work in the academic libraries of higher educational institutions (HEIs) in India. Design/methodology/approach The 200 top-ranked institutions in the NIRF rankings 2020 were chosen to evaluate their ILS-WSDS systems available through their library websites. Out of ten categories of NIRF rankings, the “Overall” category was selected as the institutions ranked under this category are discipline-independent and have a minimum of 1,000 full-time students in their undergraduate and graduate programmes. Findings The authors found that Koha is a leading ILS with 52 libraries (26%), followed by LibSys with 18 institutions (9%), SOUL with ten institutions (5%), AutoLib with eight institutions (4%), VTLS and NewGenLib with four institutions each (2%) and SLIM with three institutions (1.5%). In regards to WSDS, 73 institutions use Knimbus (36.5%), followed by 12 institutions using EBSCO Discovery Services (6%), two institutions using Ex Libris Summon and others include LS Discovery, VuFind and independent platform each at 0.5%. At the core of technology adoption, for the ILS to WSDS transitions, the uptake is found to be rather slow. Originality/value Many studies have explored ILS and WSDS India. However, this study attempts to assess the ILS in comparison with discovery services at academic libraries in the top ranking HEIs in India.

“…Mukherjee 11 identified that the quality of research reflects in international databases is the indicator of the research performance of an institute, and the top NIRF-Ranked universities have a major part of their publications indexed in the Scopus database. Kumar, Balaji& Monika 12 found that the major parameter that influences the NIRF Ranking is research output. These authors also found a positive correlation between the capital expenditure of the institutions and the national ranking score.…”

National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) was launched on 29 September 2015 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India to rank the academic & research institutions across the country. The NIRF E-release of India Ranking 2020 was held on 11th June 2020. The present study analyses the top 100 Universities in terms of visualisation of data, the relationship of ranking with the parameters, and the relations among these parameters. Results of the study indicate that the Teaching, Learning & Resources (TLR) score for all the universities was almost similar while Research and Professional Practice (RP) score had a considerable variation and played a significant role in ranking by having a positive linear correlation with the total score with the value of R2= 0.746. RP also has a strong correlation with the Peer Perception (PR) of the university. The average library expenditure of top-10 universities was 9.45 crore per annum. It was also found that library expenditure has a positive correlation with RP and the universities with higher research productivity also have a more outstanding quality of publication in terms of citations.
