Introduction: The Integrated Library System (ILS) is an enterprise-level software package,
which integrates multiple library functions and services. It controls the series of operations and
routine management of the library services and manages library collections' growth and
development. The study carefully evaluates the current scenario of ILS that will lead the
researcher to form an innovative initiative to facilitate effective and further research in this
research domain.
Purpose: The prime purpose of this study is to map and visualize the ILS literature indexed on
the Web of science between 2001 and 2020 based on bibliometrics analysis and knowledge
mapping.
Methodology: A corpus of 1749 publications was obtained from Web of Science (WoS) Core
Collection during 2001 to 2020 and analyzed using the Histcite, VoSViewer, Biblioshiny, and
ScientoPy software to highlight the evolution of the research domain.
Findings: Based on 1749 articles retrieved from the WoS, this bibliometric study provided an
overview of the research in ILS and identified some significant points in the research
throughout the investigation period. The trend indicates that publication and citation have not
gradually increased. A total of 83 countries in the data collected have been published on ILS
over the years. The topmost publishing countries were the USA, England, and China. The most
preferred Organizations were the University of Malaysia (Malaysia), Indiana University (USA),
and Wuhan University (China) in ILS research. Surla D., Singh V., and Milosavljevic B. were
observed to be relevant authors in this field. Electronic Library, Program-Electronic Library,
and Information Systems, and Library Hi Tech were the most influential journals on ILS. The
paper entitled "Effective Mapping of Biomedical Text to the UMLS Meta thesaurus: The Meta
Map Program" by Aronson A.R. published in 2001 in “Journal of the American Medical
Informatics Association," is on the most important paper in ILS literature. The study represents
the keywords picked by the authors within this research domain of ILS, which will assess the
future researcher to understand the key terms used by the ILS researcher.
