The reality of scientific research in library and information sciences in Sudan

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the availability of scientific research components in the Library and Information Department at Al-Nilein University, as well as the difficulties facing graduate students. The study used the case study approach, as well as the interview and questionnaire as tools for collecting data.

The study concluded that there is no policy for scientific research in the Library and Information Department, and a small number of supervisors, in addition to the absence of coordination between the library and information departments in graduate studies. Much of the research is related to actual reality, and the study recommended developing a plan for scientific research in the Library and Information Department, supporting the university library, coordinating between library departments, and building an information base for university dissertations in library and information sciences.
