The studies on user information seeking patterns have been undertaken since long time and are continuing with contemporary developments in LIS. The change is visualised as user demand has moved from books to to specific information. The information seeking underlies search process and has now been influenced by the application of IT to library resources and services. Ranganathan from his very first book 'Five Laws' considered “Reader” (user) as one of the components of the trinity. Similarly he perceived information seeking patterns of users in the design of tools and techniques like long range reference, chain indexing, documentation and so on and also now their applications are being retraced in the IT application environment. So an examination of these tools and techniques is presented in this paper to present a new vision to Ranganathan's classic contributions.Full Text

Content is the indispensable essence of information. In communication of information, content delivery in right format implies receivers’ acceptance of the communication. The content creation precedes content development and management. One of the primary functions of LIS professionals has been in the vocation of content creation, development and its management since long time, and been the objective of its preservation for posterity. Documentation in early 1960s emerged as a technique in this regard and the LIS professional imbibed and practicing it, though with changes in its scope and innovative techniques. The growth of information exploded with varieties of forms of content which is conceived as one of the components of the ‘Document’ which identified new functions “documentation work and service”. Since the invention of movable type of printing and to the advent of the Internet and WWW that has been extended to new formats – hypermedia and digital content, the function of content development and management has become part and parcel of LIS professionals. So in this paper, the author provides an account of generic view of content development and its management and the future prospects in store for the LIS professionals.Keywords
