Library Buildings: Bibliometric Analysis

Library Buildings: a Bibliometric Analysis (1968-2011)
Introduction
Earlier library buildings were use to construct in the context of preservation of documents which had only the purpose of protection to them. Because of the tremendous growth in the literature in all the subjects’ it was difficult to accommodate more number of documents in the established libraries. At this stage librarians were seeking adequate building structure for libraries to protect the documents. As the information, communication and technology growing rapidly, librarians are found importance in changing of library structure. It is necessary to build a library, keeping cognizant about digital resources, technological growth and user approach as well.
The growth of information, communication, technology and scattered of literature are made impact on library operations and administrations. This impact has made library professionals to carry out the research on library buildings to find out the solution for problems in accessing and securing information in the libraries and there is a gradual change in outlook structure of library buildings. Result of this, the large number of literature published on library buildings since from the year 1968.
Now a day’s discussions are held about emerging technology and digital libraries and people talk paperless libraries, wall less libraries etc. Many are predicting that the physical libraries will no more in the future days. In this situation anyone may think about; will libraries survive on physical existence? Will they lose its importance? No, we can’t predict the future with non-existence of the library as the other most of people strongly accept the physical existence of the libraries in the future digital scenario.
Present Bibliometric study examines the growth of literature in a research form and also percentage of the publications published on the library buildings including the modern digital age.
Objectives
1. To find out the literature growth on Library Buildings 2. To determine the year wise distribution of articles 3. To come across the geological distribution of contributions 4. To prepare the ranking list of journals in order of their publications which may helps library professionals for their research work. 5. To examine the authorship pattern and degree of collaboration. 6. To determine the number and publication type of published literature 7. To find out the contribution of languages
Methodology
In this present study the data is collected or downloaded from LISA and Web of Science databases. Collected data comprises 3753 articles from Journals, conferences, reports, review of books, proceedings etc. for the period of 44 years i.e. 1968-2011. The keyword “Library building” is used for the retrieval of data from the databases. The data is covered about 536 periodicals, more than 50 countries and 33 different languages.
The retrieved data has been analyzed by using java web application, is a kind of search engine developed by one of the senior software engineers. In this study Bradford’s law and Lotka’s is used analyze the collected data.
Scope
The current study is constrained to the growth of literature on library buildings. The study covered only author’s model, geographical distribution, language distribution, year wise distribution, type of publications. The analyzed data is covered only from 1968-2011 from the LISA and Web of Science databases.
Growth of Literature
Before analyzing the retrieved data, except initial two years, each 5 years have been segregated as one block. The below chart illustrate that the increase in growth of literature from the year 1968 to 1980 (4%). During the year 1980-1995 (53%), the publications growth was almost stagnating with minimal fluctuations. Again from the year 1996 onwards the publications growth was extreme and it was continued up to 2005, the below chart indicates that 2001-05 (16.97%) is the saturation level of the publications. During the period of ten year (1996-2005) the literature growth is (33%). Year 2006-11 (10%) indicates that the sudden fall in the literature growth.
In the produced literature almost all the publications are from journal articles. The number as follows; 3697 journal articles, 39 conference proceeding/repots, 9 book reviews and 8 other publications have been produced on library buildings.

Chart-1

The above statistics elucidate that the digital trend has made impact on the production of publications on library buildings, though the professionals were focused on digital information publications. Because after the year 1990, many libraries have been trying to adopt technology for secure and access to information. But the above statistics proves that the trend of publications on library buildings is continuing with the cognizant of digital environment.
Authorship pattern
The following charts represent the authorship pattern and production in the literature growth in a period of every five years (except first chart) from 1968 to 2011. All charts reveal that the majority of the publications are in single authorship pattern. Out of 3753 articles 76% (2873) of the articles are published by single authors, 13% (486) of the publications are published by double authors, 2.5% (98) of the publications are by triple authors, 1.5% (57) publications are by more than four authors and remaining 6% (239) of the publications do not have any the authorship.

The maximum outcome research during 2001-05 (chart 7) and less outcome research during 1968-70 (chart 1). It is observed that majority outcome of the research is from single author pattern and the collaborative research is extreme less during 1968-2011 and is yet to pick up.
Degree of Collaboration
To find out the collaboration in the authorship pattern the following formula is used. The formula is introduced by Subramanyam K in the year 1983(Bibliometric studies of research collaboration: A review, Journal of Information Science January 1983 vol. 6 no. 1 33-38). Here the, C = Degree of collaboration in discipline.
Ns = number of publication by single authors during the particular period.
Nm = number of publication by multiple authors during the particular period.

= 0.23
The overall collaboration between countries on library buildings is 0.0117. If the value of C increases means the rate of collaboration increases.
Language-wise distribution of literature
Below chart shows the Language wise distribution, out of 3753 articles 2120 (56.49%) are published in English language and rest of the articles are published in German, Dutch, French, Danish, Japanese, Italian, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish etc. in a respective order mentioned in the top ten ranking list below.

Ranking of Journals
Bradford's Law is used to determining the number of core journals in any field. It explains that journals in a given field can be divided into three parts, each containing the same number of articles; a) a core of journals on the subject, relatively few in number, that produces approximately one-third of all the articles, b) a second zone, containing the same number of articles as the first, but a greater number of journals, and c) a third zone, containing the same number of articles as the second, but a still greater number of journals. The mathematical relationship of the number of journals in the core to the first zone is a constant n and to the second zone the relationship is n². Bradford expressed the relationship as 1:n:n².

Zone – 1 (Nucleus part)
In the below table as per the Bradford law listed only the core or highly productive journals of the subject. The table explains the rank list of core journals i.e. 1/3 of the articles 1242 (33.09%) from only 17 journals. Rank No | Core Journals | No of Publications | Percentage (%) | 1 | Library Journal | 156 | 4.16 | 2 | Buch und Bibliothek | 113 | 3.01 | 3 | Bulletin des Bibliotheques de France | 98 | 2.61 | 4 | American Libraries | 97 | 2.58 | 5 | Scandinavian Public Library Quarterly | 86 | 2.29 | 6 | Biblioteche Oggi | 76 | 2.03 | 7 | BibliotheekBlad | 73 | 1.95 | 8 | Kirjastolehti | 65 | 1.73 | 9 | ABI Technik | 61 | 1.63 | 10 | Bibliotekspressen | 60 | 1.60 | 11 | Toshokan Zasshi The Library Journal | 58 | 1.55 | 12 | Bok og Bibliotek | 57 | 1.52 | 13 | Liber Quarterly: the Journal of European Research Libraries | 55 | 1.47 | 14 | Bibliotheek en Samenleving | 48 | 1.28 | 15 | Wilson Library Bulletin | 48 | 1.28 | 16 | Zimbabwe Librarian | 47 | 1.25 | 17 | Bulletin of the Medical Library Association | 44 | 1.17 | | Total | 1242 | 33.09 |
