ODLIS: Online Dictionary for Library and Information Science
by DINESH SIDDAIAH 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Dear Friends, ODLIS: Online Dictionary for Library and Information Science ODLIS http://lu.com/odlis/odlis_t.cfm is is a hypertext reference resource for library and information science professionals, university students and faculty, and users of all types of libraries. The primary criterion for including a term is whether a librarian or other information professional might reasonably be expected to know its meaning in the course of his or her work. A newly coined term is added when, in the author's judgment, it is likely to become a permanent addition to the lexicon of library and information science. The dictionary reflects North American practice; however, because ODLIS was first developed as an online resource available worldwide, with an e-mail contact address for feedback, users from many countries have contributed to its growth, often suggesting additional terms and commenting on existing definitions. Expansion of ODLIS is updating contineously. And also it is available in both print and online. Thanking You, Dinesh -- Dr. Dinesh K. S.
