Question: Ranganathan & Information Logistics
by Alireza Noruzi 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

Dear Indian Colleagues, Im looking for the precise bibliographic information of Ranganathan's definition of "Information Logistics - as a branch of information management - deals with information flows inside of an organisation. The goal is the optimization of availability and retention time of information. Information logistics concerns the provision of the right information at the right time in the right form and quality for the right user, at the right place." According to my knowledge the definition is dated 1954, but I can not detect a publication from that year. Can anybody help me in detecting the primary source of that definition? Kind regards A.

Dear Professionals, LIS profession is facing the challenge of repositioning and redefining our skills and responsibilities.If one sees the latest program schedule of InfoVision 2005 (www.infovision2005.org/prgmstrc.html) which is just 3 weeks away, it looks like a great treat for LIS professionals. This great summit presents a galaxy of international and Indian speakers from both academia and industry. Ronald Larsen from Pitsburg's School of Information Science, Judith Turner, the editor of Journal of Electronic Publishing, speakers from Google and Yahoo, Sify and Rediff, and the publishing visionaries like Derk Haank from Springer who is credited with ScienceDirect success in his his earlier position at Elsevier are few to name. This is an opportunity to LIS professionals to interact with many more from LIS Profession, IT Industry, Content Creaters and so on. The Organisers have also announced a concessional registration fee of Rs. 5000/- for delegates from academic institutions. I suggest and urge my professional colleagues to take a look at the program and not to miss the event. Goudar -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I.R.N.
