I would add that apart from the subject wise union catalogue,which are
developed by various agencies and available both in online and offline
formats in various scientific and non scientific disciplies,it is really
imperative that we should develop a kind of formal mechansim in the field
of LIS too,may be promoted by any LIS society or association,governmental
and non governmental agencies.Such union catalogue in LIS is the need of
hour and may be the starting point for knowledge sharing formally in
India.
Requests of journal papers through lists or personal channels must have a
limited effect on scholarly research and I presume the reason for very
limited citations in most of the LIS papers and conference proceedings
must be attributed to this lack of access to LIS journals.
