Abstract:
The study presents the trends in authorship pattern and author’s collaborative research in Indian chemistry literature with a sample of 53,977 articles downloaded from SCI-Expanded database in Web of Science during the period 2000-2009. The average number of authors per article is 3.55 %. In the study the degree of collaboration (C) during the overall 10 years (2000-2009) is 0.03, but the year wise degree of collaboration is almost same in all the years of mean value 0.97. In the 10 years of period, the multi authorship
articles are higher and predominant on single authorship. The study found that the researchers in chemistry are keen towards teamresearch or group research rather than solo research.

Abstract:
The present paper explains about UGC-Infonet Consortium of the INFLIBNET
and examined use of the Consortium by the Faculty Members and Research
Scholars. Further, the data is collected through a questionnaire to study
the information needs of the Faculty Members and Researchers in Chemistry
and Use of UGC-Infonet Consortium by the Faculty Members and Research
Scholars in the Dept of Chemistry, Gulbarga University, Gulbarga. The paper
revealed that UGC Infonet Consortium is much helpful in fulfilling their
information needs. There is need to train the faculty members and research
scholars in using the UGC-Infonet Journals. Further, there is need to
include more number of Journals in the Consortium.
