PhD in LIS from Interdisciplinary Subjects

Dear Professionals,

Kindly clear my doubts.

If someone doing PhD in Social Science rather than Library and Information Science then what will the consequences?

If the topic is inter related with Library and Information Science and the university is one of the best of India then what should a librarian do?

Kindly share your view in detail.

iI will be better if documentary evidence will produce or attached here.

Thanks
RK

Doing a Ph.d. in an interdisciplinary subject though is a good idea, is fraught with some perils which a desirous candidate must know before registering oneself for such program.

1. You need to choose two guides concerning the two subjects.

2. Both guides must be recognized by the university as guides.

3. The guides must have good rapport with each other lest they should trouble you with their egos.

4. It is possible that the university in which you are working may not agree that the topic chosen belongs to library and information science and hence may put hurdles in the monetary benefits due to you.

There are other issues as well.
