13 Sep 2014
Abstract
The emergence of Web 2.0 and simultaneously Library 2.0 platforms has helped
the library and information professionals to outreach to new audiences beyond
their physical boundaries. In a globalized society, information becomes very
useful resource for socio-economic empowerment of marginalized communities,
economic prosperity of common citizens, and knowledge enrichment of liberated
minds. Scholarly information becomes both developmental and functional for
researchers working towards advancement of knowledge. We must recognize a relay
of information flow and information ecology while pursuing scholarly research.
Published scholarly literatures we consult that help us in creation of new
knowledge. Similarly, our published scholarly works should be outreached to
future researchers for regeneration of next dimension of knowledge.
Fortunately, present day research communicators have many freely available
personalized digital tools to outreach to globalized research audiences having
similar research interests. These tools and techniques, already adopted by many
researchers in different subject areas across the world, should be
enthusiastically utilized by LIS researchers in South Asia for global
dissemination of their scholarly research works. This newly found enthusiasm
will soon become integral part of the positive habits and cultural practices of
research communicators in LIS domain.
