Dear Professional Colleagues,
As there is increased interest in forming Consortia/Library
networking at national, regional and institutional levels in govt. and private
sectors. I thought of collecting data on the topic for clear
understanding. For this purpose, I browsed INFLIBNET & VIDYANIDHI
websites and back issues University News (since 1984) for research
Studies on LIS Research India. I could trace nearly 1000 doctoral dissertations
in LIS field awarded by Indian Universities over the period. From the pool, I
could trace 44 doctoral dissertations(awarded) as mentioned below. Still, I
feel the data may not be comprehensive on the topic. Though it is essential for
all universities to submit the data related to doctoral research to AIU
(Publish this data through University News as theses of the month) I feel
it is not followed by all Indian universities. Uploading data on INFLIBNET is
voluntary for researchers. Hence I think there could be more doctoral studies
on Consortium. Please see the following list and inform me if your name/thesis
(on Consortium or library network) is missing in the list.
For missing theses data, please give data on 1) your full
name; 2) title of thesis; 3) Guide’s name;4)university; 5) year of award
and some keywords and your email-id.
I will compile the list and again post it for the benefit of
our LIS professionals and researchers. Your help in data provision will help
our community and I look forward for your full cooperation for providing
information on research on consortia. Please provide data if the study is
already completed and degree is awarded by the university to avoid any
confusion.
For the benefit of our colleagues: A research paper
on LIS Research 1980-2007 prepared jointly by Prof. Shivalingaiah & me and
presented at ALIEP 2009 International conference, Tokyo, Japan is
available at http://a-liep.kc.tsukuba.ac.jp/proceedings/Papers/a9.pdf
I look forward for your
