[LIS-Forum] National Seminar on Perspectives of LIS Research in India towards 2020 and National Workshop on Web 2.0 Tools and Techniques for LIS Services (9-11 August 2011)

[GIPE Library]

 Dear All

I am pleased to announce the "National Seminar on Perspectives of LIS
Research in India towards 2020" and "National Workshop on Web 2.0 Tools and
Techniques for LIS Services" from 9 to 11 August 2011. The event is
organised by Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE), Pune at
GIPE Campus.

About the Seminar

LIS Research in India has been actively pursued for last several decades and
a large number of research results are reported in national and
international publications. During the recent past, Indian LIS Profession
has a good impact on the LIS research. But at the same time, it is observed
that LIS research from India is mostly limiting itself to data driven by use
and user studies while there is also some amount of original research in
other areas. It is therefore felt that there is a need to get right
directions on future research activities for the Indian LIS professionals.

On the occasion of the Birth anniversary of Prof. S R Ranganathan, GIPE's
one day seminar is planned to address these issues. Eminent personalities
will guide the seminar participants to identify and pursue new emerging
research theories and techniques. The experts will share their experiences,
their expectations from the researchers and provide new thoughtful insights
for the future LIS 2020.
