ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research is to investigate the networks of ''academic community'' of Digital Library using various Social Network Analysis (SNA) tools and metrics. This study is expected to identify the figureheads who are responsible for shaping the emerging multidisciplinary community of Digital Library. It would also reveal the factors, which are involved in the networking of academic community. Application of SNA techniques to trace the linkages between community members is not only innovative but also expected to be fruitful in understanding the shaping of a community.
