RBU_JR_LIS_V23_2021-FULL_TEXT-E-Copy

found various literary works regularly in last few
couple of years. The writing stanadards and data of
those were sub-standard which we could not able to
consider to be published.
As per our policies we have tried to covers various
areas of Library & Information Science and
accordingly we have selected the articles. To
encourage the young authors and new researchers
our editorial board have given little relaxation to the
standard to publish their articles.
It is observed that more than 90 % authors never
bother to consult author’s guide of how to write and
follow the format and standard before sending their
paper to be publised in RBU Journal of Library &
Information Science. Most of them never follow the
proper citation standard as well as abstracting
format for our Journal as given in the website. This
type of carelessness is not expected from a research
writing as well as Library & Information Science
professionals.
This is a remarkable year to the department as a full
course in B.Lib.I.Sc and M.Lib.I.Sc have been passed
out from the university completely by studying
ONLINE. It’s a very surprizing and painful
experiences to us. It was very difficult to us to make
our students understandable about DDC, UDC, CC,
AACR and various LMS softwares through online
classes, where most of our students don’t have
computer or laptop at their home. In-spite of our
extreme effort I am sure their learning remains
incomplete. We are worried about our students how
they could compete in the professional job market.
Anyway this is the new normal and we have to
accept the situation.
This year 2 research scholars Sri Abhijit Chakraborty
and Sri Animesh Halder awarded PhD under the
supervision of Prof. Salil Chandra Khan. Total 17
scholars awarded PhD from this Department.
At the end, I believe articles which we could not able
to accommodate in this volume, I am sure those
may be published in any other journals. I also hope
that all the authors will continue this support by
sending their research article for our forthcoming
volumes.
I convey my sincere gratitude to all authors, board
of editors, reviewers, university authority,
publication division of Rabindra Bharati University
and printers to make RBU Journal of Library &
Information Science as one of the popular and
quality scholarly communication in Library &
Information Science domain.
Good wishes to all
