On the other hand, the impact of ICT has spread over every field to provide the best and fastest services to its user. It's the user’s demand in the IT era as the user needs immediate information to complete the tasks in their respective areas of knowledge. A combination of both (rising cost and advancement in ICT) gives a new concept Open Educational Resources (OERs), to provide a new way of collecting, producing, organizing, and disseminating information to its user. The Open Educational Resources (OERs) is a radical change in the area of education and research. OER has offered better solutions to achieve a greater level of efficiency, fruitfulness and quality service in libraries. The study is confined to only Faculties of Technical Universities of Odisha. The analyst has taken a random sample of visiting all the departments of the Universities. During the visit to the departments the investigator distributed the questionnaire to the faculties of the concerned disciplines of the university. A total of 380 questionnaires were distributed among the faculties of all disciplines. Out of which 306 faculty members responded to the questionnaire. The study explores that, Open Educational Access has become a major source of data sharing, as it provides timely access to data anywhere in the globe without dimensional barrier.

It also identifies the annual growth of university publication, authorship pattern, author productivity, degree of collaboration, length of paper published, most prolific contributor, prolific institution/ organization, geographical distribution etc. Design/ methodology/ approach-For information retrieval "Utkal University" and "India" were the keywords used as affiliation and "2008" to "2012" selected as the time span of the study, further, the result was refined only to "articles". Finally, 447 research papers in different disciplines of science and technology retrieved and matched with Utkal University as "author's affiliation". The papers were analyzed according to their year-wise publication, authorship pattern, length of paper published, geographical distribution of papers etc., statistical techniques such as Lotka's Inverse Square Law was used to identify author's productivity and Bradford's law used to determine scattering of literature in the publication pattern of the university during the period under study.
