Abstract

This paper aims to examine integrated library systems (ILS) and web-scale discovery services (WSDS) of the National Institute of Ranking Framework’s (NIRF) top-ranked universities in India. The 200 top- ranked institutions in the NIRF rankings 2020 were chosen to evaluate their ILS-WSDS systems available through their library websites. At the core of technology adoption, for the ILS to WSDS transitions, the uptake is found to be rather slow.
