Abstract
The UGC of India declared the librarians from universities and colleges ineligible to apply for research grants
for major and minor research projects. Hence, this study was undertaken to find out if (Academic) Librarians
produce research; if so, what is their share amongst authors of LIS research published from India. It was
found that Indians are the largest contributors of LIS literature published from India, that nearly entire LIS
literature published from India is contributed by LIS fraternity only, and that, among all Indian authors of
LIS literature published from India, share of Academic Librarians is larger than LIS Faculty.
