ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Prof. S. R. Ranganathan, the doyen of library and infor-
mation science had a huge role establishing the field
of librarianship as a discipline of study and research
namely Library and Information Sciences (LIS). He has
contributed immensely to different aspects of the disci-
pline. His theories and principles have impacted sev-
eral developments in information organization, prac-
tices, policies and infrastructure. With the logical pro-
gression from books in the library to resources on the
web, his principled approach is being applied to ad-
dress challenges pertaining to web organization and
retrieval.
The discipline of LIS has progressed rapidly especially
with the deployment of technology for library manage-
ment and services. Technology impacts libraries and
their services directly because in the digital era, users
of libraries have many expectations of technology
driven innovative services. Librarians, information sci-
entists, computer science experts and other profes-
sionals have collaborated to improve storage, retrieval
and preservation of resources on web. Hence, research
in LIS has expanded the purview of the discipline from
dealing with just books to offering knowledge based
services. Library and Information science field is one
of the first to explore cutting edge technologies and
techniques from advanced areas such as Artificial In-
telligence, Natural Language Processing, Information
Retrieval, Semantic Web and Data and Text mining,
Data Science.
