Welcome to ICBK
Research intensive fields of study as also scientific practices are contributing to immense
amount of data worldwide. Technological advances make it possible to instantly produce,
capture, describe and exploit data online. Diversified approaches to research add to the possibility of diverse applications, different distributions, versions and interpretation of data.
Library and Information Science professionals
are required to cope up with this situation and
handle data in terms of data collection, description, curation and involve in all other aspects of
the data cycle. In addition to information services, LIS professionals are involved in data services either in isolation or in services that complement information services. The field of data
science today is truly interdisciplinary involving
researchers producing data in many different
domains, data curators, publishers, technologists, librarians and data analysts.
The situation opens up new and interesting opportunities for professionals to explore and
learn all aspects of what has taken the shape,
holistically, of DATA SCIENCE. In view of the
developments in data, LIS research data, skill
and knowledge requirements of professionals
