Dear Afsar,

Thank you very much for circulation such use information. If possible, please let me know the reference cited (Maurice B. Line).

Further I would like to suggest that there should be also research in core areas of Library and Information Science like Classification. Unfortunately these is a trend amoung the LIS schools to make students more Computer Literate at the cost of core subjects of LIS.

(I wish such LIS schools should stop issueing certificates in LIS and start issueing MCA etc.)

Regards Sukhdev

Dear Friends

This is in response to a recent mail in lisforum regarding the areas of research in LIS

LIS, since its inception has been dealing with organizing information so as to make it available to the users in more efficient manner.

“Information seems like dirt; it’s everywhere you look, accumulates in piles, and is challenging to organize for easy retrieval.”

It is this very nature of info that has always threatened LIS professionals and forced them to come up with innovative approaches towards its effective organization. With the advent of WWW, organizing info is giving tough time for all LIS professionals. Newer and newer approaches are being tried, but still more and more are required to be done!

Maurice B. Line has identified 10 key areas related to Info Res in the MILLENIUM

1. Internet & WWW (info retrieval aspects) 2. Search engines & alogorithms 3. Bibliographic control on the internet 4. User interface including common user interface,natural language interface etc. 5. User needs or requirement analysis 6. Info seeking behaviour of users and cognitive approach 7. Digital Libraries 8. Summarization & representation of information 9. Visual information 10. Intelligent Information Retrieval including intelligent agents

All the best
