Title

¬'A strategy for LIS research in the next century

Source

Journal of librarianship and information science. 30(1998) no.1, S.3-5

Year

Abstract

The past 30 years have seen many changes in the UK library and information science (LIS) education, and to the profession working environment generally. The most far reaching of these changes is the development of a research base and research methodologies for LIS and the subsequent impact of these research findings on professional practice. Concludes that investment in research and development by governmental, educational and commercial agencies will ultimately do more to secure the long term future of the LIS profession than any amount of evangelizing on the importance of information. Nevertheless, a major problem in LIS research has been a lack of coordination and planning at a national level. Focuses on the work of the newly established Library and Information Commission (LIC); which aims to investigate the scale of the problem and recommend solutions. Details the work which went into the 2 LIC documents published in 1997: 2020 Vision (the LIC's vision statement for the 21st century); and Prospects: astrategy for action (a consultation document outlining its strategic plan derived from the research mapping and consultation exercise carried out on behalf of the LIC)
