Based on articles published in the Journal of the University Librarians’ Association of Sri Lanka (JULA) between 2014 and 2024, this study provides a bibliometric analysis of research patterns and developments in the field of library and information science (LIS) in Sri Lanka. Analyzing the growth of LIS research output during the last 11 years, as well as highlighting significant research themes, authorship patterns, citation trends, and notable contributors, is the primary objective of the study. Bibliometric parameters, such publication frequency, authorship collaboration, subject coverage, and page and citation counts, were used for assessing 111 articles in total. The results show that LIS research continues to grow, with a discernible trend towards new topics including open access, digital libraries, and information literacy as well as an increase in collaborative research. The study explores the evolving environment of LIS scholarship in Sri Lanka and identifies the most prominent authors in the area. In order to better understand the research landscape and guide future scholarly communication and academic progress in the LIS area, the findings offer insightful information to LIS researchers, practitioners, and policymakers
