[LIS-Forum] pl help me to update the list on doctoral studies on library Consortium/Network in India

[Manjunath K]

Dear Professional Colleagues,

As there is increased interest in forming Consortia/Library networking at national, regional and institutional levels in govt. and private sectors. I thought of collecting data on the topic for clear understanding.  For this purpose, I browsed INFLIBNET & VIDYANIDHI websites and back issues University News (since 1984)  for research Studies on LIS Research India. I could trace nearly 1000 doctoral dissertations in LIS field awarded by Indian Universities over the period. From the pool, I could trace 44 doctoral dissertations(awarded) as mentioned below. Still, I feel the data may not be comprehensive on the topic. Though it is essential for all universities to submit the data related to doctoral research to AIU (Publish this data through University News as theses of the month)  I feel it is not followed by all Indian universities. Uploading data on INFLIBNET is voluntary for researchers.  Hence I think there could be more doctoral studies on Consortium. Please see the following list and inform me if your name/thesis (on Consortium or library network) is missing in the list.

For missing theses data, please give data on 1) your full name; 2) title of thesis; 3) Guide's name;4)university; 5) year of award and some keywords and your email-id.

I will compile the list and again post it for the benefit of our LIS professionals and researchers. Your help in data provision will help our community and I look forward for your full cooperation for providing information on research on consortia. Please provide data if the study is already completed and degree is awarded by the university to avoid any confusion.

For the benefit of our colleagues: A research paper on LIS Research 1980-2007 prepared jointly by Prof. Shivalingaiah & me and presented at  ALIEP 2009 International conference, Tokyo, Japan is available at http://a-liep.kc.tsukuba.ac.jp/proceedings/Papers/a9.pdf

I look forward for your
