Abstract

This study revolved around the awareness and uses of the data virtualization tools and techniques by Professionals and Students of the Library and Information Science. Total 469 participants provided their responses through Google form. It is found that most of professionals were aware with visualization tools and techniques. Most of respondents used MS Excel as a virtualization tool in their research, presentations and lectures. They also admitted that it helps the presenter to summarize their concepts and provides better understanding to learners. It is also notable that in the coming future it can take different place in the field of Library and Information Science. So some training session should also be arranged at this topic to increase the awareness about data virtualization in LIS.
