Abstract

Awareness of the latest publications is vital for science and technology research and, in inter‐ and intra‐disciplinary research coupled with the so‐called information explosion, coping with current information is a tedious process. Library and information professionals are resorting to refining old techniques to effectively serve their clients in this critical exercise. This paper demonstrates how the time‐tested techniques of selective dissemination of information is suitably modified and delivery is made electronically to generate current information lists for faculty at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.
