The present study analyzes this list and identifies some issues with respect to the LIS journals.* Thanks & Regards, *Vijendra Kumar *------------------------ *Junior Research Fellow * *Department of Library and Information Science Vardhman Mahaveer Open University Kota - 3240321 (Rajasthan), India* -- https://online.vmou.ac.in/General_Instruction.aspx ------------------------------ *वर्धमान महावीर खुला विश्वविद्यालय http://www.vmou.ac.in* | Vardhman Mahaveer Open University रावतभाटा रोड | Rawatbhata Road कोटा - ३२४०२१ | Kota-324021 (राजस्थान) (Rajasthan) भारत | INDIA TOLL FREE : 1800-180-6166 AJMER http://www.vmou.ac.in/ajmer| BIKANER http://www.vmou.ac.in/bikaner| BHARATPUR http://www.vmou.ac.in/bharatpur| JAIPUR http://www.vmou.ac.in/jaipur| JODHPUR http://www.vmou.ac.in/jodhpur| UDAIPUR http://www.vmou.ac.in/udaipur| KOTA http://www.vmou.ac.in/kota Youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/vmouonline/videos | Facebook https://www.facebook.com/vmouonline| Twitter https://twitter.com/vmouonline http://radio.vmou.ac.in:8000/iradio.m3u *"Print this mail only if absolutely necessary.
