Basic Information on
the Research Activities at the Institute of Library Science
Main
Research Fields
The research activitities at the institute
of library science are primarily focused on:
- the information-theoretical approach on
library science
- bibliometrics/informetrics/scientometrics;
- distance learning in library education
- research on the usage of libraries and
information centers
- research and development of documentstructures
(SGML, XML, etc.);
- development of intelligent retrieval-systems
There had to be a concentration
on certain research fields due to the massive staff reduction
at our institute as a consequence of the drastic general economy
measures at the Humboldt University during the last years.
The foreseeable tendencies
at the library/information/documentation/archive-field make
the core topic "Digital Library" appear as the most
promising for the future.
The Institute of Library
Science plans an close cooperation and coordination with diverse
areas within and outside of the university, which are related
to information processing, knowledge management and archiving
based on digital media.
