“…In South Korea, Park and Song (2013) study about LIS research trends in Korea which focused on modelling, found a growing LIS research trend on topics related to the evaluation of libraries, metadata, and the internet. Winkler and Kiszl (2020), who studied academic libraries as flagships of publishing trends in LIS, analysed research topics, Pluzhenskaia (2007), who researched on the degree of collaboration among LIS schools' faculty members and non-LIS degrees, found that faculty members in LIS schools from 1995 and 2006 had no boundaries in scholarly collaboration and worked with researchers from other disciplines. On the contrary, the assessment of authorship patterns and degree of collaboration in the LIS discipline conducted between 2000 and 2009 by Suradkar and Vaishali (2012), Elia and Sife (2018) and Siddique, Rehman and Altaf (2021) established a dominance of single-authored over multiple-authored articles.…”

“…To begin with, LIS scholars could have little interest in such research themes while keeping an eye on the high impact themes such as social media and technology-related fields that have a greater impact on international research collaboration and citation (Velez-Estevez, et al, 2022). Second, LIS scholars tend to cite each other and have the least citation practices and publication trends relative to other scholars, especially those in natural sciences (Winkler & Kiszl, 2020). For instance, Elia and Sife (2018) found top ten highly cited scholars to come from developed countries and mainly on technology research.…”

“…Of late, the LIS discipline has witnessed a surge in studies that assess research works of scholars Wusu & Lazarus, 2018). Such increase in LIS research output on research trends for the past two decades (Winkler & Kiszl, 2020) has also revealed a discernible shift in research from the traditional LIS research topics to new ones. Traditional LIS research topics began with research on library operations, which usually covered circulation, information management, indexing, classification, information behaviour, information literacy, information resources, and librarianship practices .…”

This paper reports the findings of a desk review research on global changes in Library and Information Science (LIS) research. Specifically, the review examined articles published in a 25-year (1995-2020) span of LIS research trends using Google database. The variables in the examination were gender, citation patterns, institutional affiliation, and degree of collaboration. To collect data from 43 articles, the study applied a bibliometric method, with the resultant data subjected to content analysis. The study found that male authors published more on the theme of LIS research trends than their female counterparts. Moreover, the results indicate a positive and significant correlation between the duration of a publication and the number of citations. The number of years of publication and open access publishing had a positive but non-statistically significant relationship with citation. Furthermore, the study found authorship collaboration to be moderate at 0.581. There was also a marked shift from traditional to new LIS research areas related to digital technology and its application in libraries. Overall, the trends in LIS research appear attributable to research infrastructure, sufficient funding, access to data, and the researcher’s skills. These findings support enhancing capacity building for LIS researchers to update their skills as part of concerted efforts to enable them to meet global changing needs.

“…Az MI egyelőre nem számít a leginkább felkapott könyvtár-és információtudományi kutatási témának, 6,7 ugyanakkor a mindennapi életben talán egyre többen ismerkednek meg vele. Éppen ezért fontosnak tartom, hogy a könyvtárvezetők, illetve a terület egyetemi hallgatóinak véleményét felmérések segítségével megismerjük annak érdekében, hogy általuk képet alkothassunk a jelenlegi helyzetről.…”

“…Before developing an IL training strategy, professionals should verify the real needs of students (Julien et al, 2020;Weightman et al, 2017;Winkler and Kiszl, 2020). Given this context, the purpose of this investigation is to collect data on the information literacy profile of USJ students and analyse how librarians plan their IL curriculum (1).…”

Higher Education students' perceptions towards Information Literacy

Integrating information literacy into learning improves student performance and, for that reason, academic librarians can play a significant role by collaborating in the design and training programs in these areas. In Macao, there is no known study on the information literacy performance of higher education students, so we seek to diagnose this area. For that purpose, a survey was applied to higher education students to assess students' perception of information literacy and their self-characterization regarding the use of resources and the type of skills needed for academic work. A semi-structured interview was also carried out with teachers about the same reality. Students perceive themselves to have a low level of confidence in the performance of their academic tasks, which affects their fulfilment. Faculty are aligned with this diagnosis, revealing the students’ weaknesses in the information search and presentation. Overall, information needs are evident among students as also is the use of preferred information resources in pursuit of their studies. The training aimed at students in search, retrieval, analysis, and use of information seems to be essential, which is why the construction of a tailormade training program in Information Literacy is anticipated.
