The present study tries to highlight the current status of open access journals listed in DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) in the field of Library and Information Science. A total of 132 journals were consulted for the study. The article analyses country wise, year wise and language wise distribution of the journals. The paper also discusses the periodicity of the journals and index coverage area, etc. The paper reveals that open access publications is worthwhile as maximum numbers of journals belong to peer, blind and double-blind peer-reviewed categories. The present paper also helps to measure the publication pattern of various open access journals.Keywords

Jammu and Kashmir is the northernmost state of India. Its large area is mountainous and lacks access to basic facilities like education and information. For providing equitable access to information resources and IT infrastructure, the central and state governments established CICs and public libraries in urban as well as rural areas. In the present article an effort has been made to analyse the present scenario of both institutions, i.e. CICs and public libraries in J&K. During the study, it was found that at one point of time 135 community information centres (CIC) were functional in J&K and were delivering community information services to the needy population of the areas. However, within a short period of time, around a decade, these centres became defunct and ceased to perform their main function of delivering community information services to the public. On the other hand, with the renewed efforts of the state government, large numbers of public libraries came into existence in J&K at the state, district, tehsil, and even at the village level. These libraries have qualified manpower and information resources. The information resources in these libraries mainly consist of books, journals, magazines, and newspapers, with some of them having electronic resources too. However, it was found that most of these libraries were rendering the traditional services like book borrowing, reference services, CAS/SDI services, and reading room facilities. Keeping in view the changing needs of society, as well as changing user behaviour, it has been felt that public libraries in J&K can play a proactive role in delivering community information services (CIS). Before undertaking CIS, however, the public libraries in J&K need to strengthen their resources and redesign their services as per the demands of the population residing in the areas.Keywords
