Advent of Information and Communication Technology has highly influenced the entire spectrum of libraries worldwide. As an effective solution to automate the activities and services of libraries, Integrated Library Management System is increasingly gaining momentum in Indian libraries for the last few decades. Among them, popularity of Open Source Integrated Library Management System (OSILMS) is increasing as a cost effective solution to automate the library due to its provisions in self-customizing to meet the local requirements. However, it is true that majority of the Indian libraries are still continuing with their legacy commercial systems, though they have awareness of advantages of OSILMS. In this context, this research study observes the major issues associated with the adoption of OSILMS in Indian libraries and examines the attitude of library professionals using LibSys software towards the adoption of OSILMS. The present paper also investigates the major concerns why LibSys software is being used as a commercial automation system when OSILMS are available for free and the study also analyzes the satisfaction level of LibSys users with the functional modules of the software. Majority of LibSys users support the adoption of OSILMS though they are satisfied with their software being used, however lack of technical knowledge, support and shortage of skilled staff required to install and maintain the software are found to be the major issues associated with the adoption of OSILMS in Indian libraries.Keywords

The term information literacy has different meanings, but it is a skill that every individual must possess to effectively achieve their personal, social, educational, and work goals. This skill set helps to identify, evaluate, and effectively use information. Visually impaired people need to receive specialized services and tools to enhance their information literacy skills to enable them to work independently and effectively. The main aim of the study is to examine the growth and development of published literature on information literacy that focuses primarily on visually impaired people. Between 1990 and 2018, the global production of publications identified by the Scopus database provided the basis for this study. A search of the Scopus database showed that 589 scientific publications had appeared on the world stage. The paper presents an analysis of the data.Keywords
