Involved in teaching the advanced course in documentation and information science

Stat course for three academic years, from 1986-1987 to 1988-19989, in Indian Statistical
Institute, Bangalore Centre.
The subjects, taught for the M. Stat course (from 1986-1987 to 1988-1989) were FORTRAN
programming and its applications, PASCAL programming language (for SQC and OR Specialization),
and information retrieval (for SQC and OR Specialization).
Some of the topics I teach for the courses
in information science at the Master's degree level are
- Systems analysis, data structures and programming techniques (TURBO PASCAL)
- Information retrieval, including design and development of databases
- Elements of statistical methods including the research methods
- Informetrics, including bibliometrics and scientometrics
- Management of libraries, information centers and information systems, and services

these topics were covered for the ADIS students in mid 80s.
As a part of the teaching programme at DRTC, I have supervised more than 55 ADIS

in connection with their project and dissertation works.
