Background: The simplest technique to discover the most recent and challenging study material across all subject areas is through bibliometrics. Aim: Researchers use bibliometrics to investigate users’ requirements across all fields. The results assist researchers in making sense of the numerous critical issues. The researcher employed a bibliometrics methodology in the current investigation. Methodology: The current study made use of the Scopus Index core collection. Only those papers that were published in the area of data mining were focused on this research. Between 1995 and 2021, 34,011 works were discovered that were published in too many different languages (27 years). However, the researcher set a boundary and only chose those publications that were written in the English language and received the highest citations. Findings: The investigation results revealed that the 2008 publication of “Top 10 methods in data mining” in the journal “Knowledge and Information Systems” received 3400 citations. The results of this study also showed that articles with several writers received the most citations. The top countries for data mining productivity are also mentioned in the study. The study’s findings also look at the most popular journals and keywords utilised in the published articles. The current study’s findings are very helpful for researchers who plan to conduct research in the field of data mining. Read More Read Less

Abstract Library collaboration is reflected normally in many ways, of which library consortiums are one such model.

Skill is the capability of a human being that something can do well. Skill sets are the range of a human being’s skills. In every profession, every individual should have the skills to accomplish their roles and responsibilities. Earlier, library professionals or librarians were called custodians of the materials in a particular library. But in the present scenario, the library profession has developed in various fields like academics, business, research, software, information and marketing. Hence, library professionals have become cybrarians and librarians who provide outstanding services to users at the right time.Currently, for Library and Information Science professionals, it is essential to enrich their knowledge, skill sets, self-motivation, situation handling, problem-solving, service-oriented mindsetand rapid response to the users to meet their needs and requirements. For that professional achievement, library professionals must continuously develop their skills like Computer skills, Networking skills, Information retrieval skills, managerial skills, communication skills, preservation skills, etc., up to their career end. In that context, this paper aims to know the skill development practices and their fallouts for LIS professionals in the digital age from an Indian perspective. Read More Read Less
