This Paper attempts to provide an overview of the contribution made by the universities of Karnataka to National Repository of Electronic Theses and Dissertations namely Shodhganga. An intensive study is also made on the Theses contribution by department wise from different Universities in Karnataka. This study shows that despite the involvement of universities of Karnataka in uploading scholarly work to Shodhganga, some universities are lagging behind up to expected standard benchmark. So, more universities are expected to actively participate in this mission to run this mission successfully.</p> 2022-04-26T07:52:06+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 Journal of Indian Library Association https://www.ilaindia.net/jila/index.php/jila/article/view/1433 Information Needs of Members of Parliament in India for Effective Leadership in Society: A Study 2022-04-26T07:52:07+00:00 Poonam Parashar Jha shail3@yahoo.com Shailendra Kumar shail3@yahoo.com <p>The paper aims to determine the information needs of Members of Parliament (MPs) in India for effective leadership in society.

ICT has emerged as a major tool for teaching and learning through its potential as a source of knowledge, a medium to transmit content, a means of interaction and dialogue. The development in information technologies necessitates LIS professions to have ICT competencies and management skills to manage information services. There is a need to compare ICT components in LIS program.</p><p><strong>Design: </strong>The present study has been conducted through content analysis of ICT components in the curriculum of Master’s programme in LIS. Required pertinent information was consolidated from the universities Websites. A review of literature has been presented on published literature such as books, journals, library portals, and other valuable virtual sources.</p><p><strong>Findings: </strong>The major findings of the current study are: all women’s universities have different MLIS program structures like intake of students, nomenclature, course structure, credits, and schemes of papers. There should be uniformity in MLIS program. The universities offer similar ICT courses with different paper nomenclature. It is opined that the LIS curriculum should be balanced with theoretical and practically oriented in all women’s universities. It should meet the national needs of libraries. The UGC Model Curriculum 2001 itself is incredibly old and needs to be redesigned in accordance with technological changes and NEP 2020 to accommodate, integrate and serve the emerging trends and management aspects.</p><p><strong>Originality/Value: </strong>This study is original and has not been published elsewhere. This study would benefit women’s universities to find gaps in ICT Components in the curriculum of master’s programme of Library and Information Science, policymakers, and to redesign the curriculum.</p> 2022-04-26T07:52:07+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 Journal of Indian Library Association https://www.ilaindia.net/jila/index.php/jila/article/view/778 Gender, Marital Status, Income as factors influencing Task Performance among Library Personnel 2022-04-26T07:52:08+00:00 Wuraola Janet Oyedipe woyedipe@yahoo.com Sunday Olanrewaju Popoola drpopoola@gmail.com <p>The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of gender, marital status and level of income on task performance among library personnel in public university libraries in southwestern Nigeria. The survey research design of correlational type was adopted while questionnaire was used to generate data from 330 library personnel, working in 13 public university libraries in southwestern Nigeria. Findings from the study revealed high task performance among respondents. Further findings from the study revealed significant relationships among gender, marital status, income and task performance of respondents. While marital status, gender and income had significant relative influence on task performance of library personnel, marital status, gender and income were equally found to have significant joint influence on task performance of respondents. It is therefore, recommended that gender, and marital status of library personnel should be positively leveraged on by supervisors to bring about responsive and responsible behaviour that can bring about positive disposition to assigned job duties and responsibilities. Further, income should be constantly reviewed to ensure that income earned can cater for the needs and wellbeing of library personnel.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> 2022-04-26T07:52:08+00:00 Copyright (c) 2022 Journal of Indian Library Association https://www.ilaindia.net/jila/index.php/jila/article/view/1531 Health Information Literacy among Rural women of Panchkula District of Haryana 2022-04-26T07:52:09+00:00 Aditi Rao aditirao@kuk.ac.in Ashu Shokeen shokeen_ashu@rediffmail.com <p>The present study has been conducted to assess the health Information literacy among the Rural women of Panchkula District of Haryana, India.
