Academic Recognition to Philately
Dear Stamp Lovers and Philatelic Scholars,
I would like to take your kind attention on following news-
The RTM Nagpur University, Nagpur, India had issued notification for a Ph.D.* on a study of philately and postage stamp. The topic of the research work lies within subject of ‘LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE-LIS’ under Social Science faculty.
*This study attempts for the academic recognition of postage stamp as an information source. The associated hobby of stamp collecting-‘philately’ and related activities not only needs information but creates information products as well. Here through this study an attempt is made to understand postage stamps, the philately, origin, evolution and development with an approach for investigation to identify some LIS projections of philately along with prospective extension of bibliophilately to LIS philately. The work considers two case studies on bibliopilately and Indian philately. The work is based on wide survey and evaluation of philatelic organizations (national and international) and philatelic literature (print and digital mode)and the rephrased ‘Five Laws of Library’ for Postage Stamp.
The researcher may be contacted by email at < unawlakhe@ymail.com >; And / or by snail mail at [41, Gayatri Nagar, Ganeshpur, BHANDARA 441 904 M.S. India ]
