Mapping Research Development in Library Tourism: A Bibliometric Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
This study aims to map the development of research in the field of library tourism over the past decade (2014-2024) using bibliometric analysis. Data was collected from Google Scholar using the Publish or Perish application, where metadata was stored in RIS format and analysed using VOS viewer for visualisation. A total of 21 articles were identified, covering key aspects such as publication trends, influential authors, journals, institutions, and thematic patterns. The results showed fluctuations in library tourism research trends, with a significant increase in the number of publications in 2023. The main themes found include library-based tourism destination development, visitor satisfaction, and the role of libraries in community empowerment. Terms such as ‘development,’ ‘destination,’ and ‘satisfaction’ emerged as dominant keywords, reflecting the focus on developing library tourism as a unique cultural and educational experience. The visualisations also revealed areas that could be further explored, including the integration of innovative technologies and more in-depth community-based approaches. This research provides a comprehensive overview of the field, identifies research gaps, and offers insights for the development of library tourism as a multidisciplinary research domain.
