Abstract
The growth in the number of supervisors during the last decade, and the increase in the number of students registering for doctoral studies, shows that library and information science (LIS) is at a cross roads at the Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University in India. The authors of this chapter trace the LIS research trends in Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University during past 23 years and discuss the threat for quality decline in LIS research if the current trend continues.
