    The present paper deals about the bibliometric analysis of 548 Ph.D theses in LIS of Indian Universities during the year 2013-2017.The study is based on “Shodhganga”, hosted by INFLIBNET. Factor considered for the study are Year wise, Universities wise, State wise, Subject wise and Guide wise contribution of PhD theses in LIS. This paper focuses on quantitative study of research contribution made by LIS researchers in the field of LIS. All the studies will be helpful for improving their quality researches in this field. It is concluded that majority of work has been done upon the area of Library survey/User studies/Library Use while a very little work had been done in the field of Library Legislation,Library-Finance, database and indexing during the span of time 2013-2017. Since the libraries of 21st century is shifting their focus to newer work areas according to the shift of user’s interest, more research works are needed in the field of LIS in these newer areas instead of confining to areas like surveys.
