Assessing Library Professionals of among Top Seven IITs Registration Status on IRINS

Abstract

The research conducted is based on the registration status of library professionals of the Indian Institute of Technology in the Indian Research Information Network System (IRINS) platform. IRINS is an extensive platform used for the handling of research information which gives important information on the publications and citations of academicians of Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) across India. It primarily focuses on how IRINS can improve scholarly communication and research support services extended by library professionals and evaluates the adoption and use of IRINS by the library professionals, based on the data collected from the IRINS platform and other added information. This paper highlights the effects of IRINS on the institutional, departmental, and individual progress in the academic and research environment while looking into the features, benefits, and potential of integrating it. The results indicate that IRINS plays as an integral part of enhancing the profile of LIS professionals, making them collaborate with other institutions to build their research capacity within them. Future studies on the strategic use of IRINS by library professionals would be provided a clear picture of the registration trends and utilization patterns, offering insights for implementing impactful interventions.
