Kanwal Ameen (Urdu: كنول امين) is a professor in information management and chairperson of the Department of Information Management (University of the Punjab),[1] formerly the Department of Library and Information Science[2] comprising a central library and library departments that are recognized as the oldest in Pakistan.[3]
Ameen is the chief editor for the Pakistan Journal of Information Management and Libraries.[4] She is also an award-winning teacher, author, researcher, and lecturer in the field of library and information science as well as a pre-doc (2000-2001) and post-doc (2009-2010) international Fulbright Scholar.
Education
Ameen attended the University of the Punjab, and in 1985, after receiving a diploma in library science, began working as a librarian in the Department of Philosophy.[1] In 1986, she earned a Masters degree in library science.[5] In 1993, she traveled to the Netherlands and attended a 3 month diploma course on library management at Hague University,[1][5] then worked as a lecturer at University of the Punjab from 1993 to 2004. She furthered her education, and attended the University of Texas at Austin in 2000 as a Fulbright pre-doctoral scholar, and four years later was working as an assistant professor at the University of the Punjab. In 2005, she was awarded a PhD in library and information science from the University of the Punjab. Her thesis was titled, Philosophy and Framework of Collection Management and Its Application in University Libraries in Pakistan: An Appraisal.[6]
Career
Teaching
Ameen's teaching interests are in the areas of personality development, information services, qualitative research, personal information management, and marketing of information services. She has worked in a supervisory capacity at the doctoral level,[1] and became a professor at University of the Punjab in 2008. She attended the University of Missouri in 2010 as a postdoc Fulbright Visiting Scholar and researcher.[7] Ameen became chairperson of the then Department of Library and Information Science which was renamed Department of Information Management.[8] She entered the tenure track in 2013.[1] That same year, she completed a research fellowship at the University of Tsukuba in Japan.[9]
In 2015, she chaired the International Conference on Information Management and Libraries in Lahore, noting the progress of her Department from its earliest beginnings as a certificate course that grew into a full PhD program over the course of a century.[10] In 1915, Asa Don Dickinson, an American author and the first Chief Librarian for Brooklyn College, took a year-long sabbatical and traveled to India where he taught at University of the Punjab (Lahore), and lectured on what was considered modern library methods at that time.[11] In 1916, he wrote the book Panjab Library Primer for the students he taught at Punjab University,[12] and is credited for establishing what became known as the Department of Information Management for which Ameen was first appointed chairperson in 2009.[13][14] In May 2015, she was appointed for a third consecutive 3 year term as department chair.[15]
Research
As of 2014 Ameen had over 80 publications.[16] She has served as Secretary of the IFLA Discussion on Library & Information Science Education in Developing Countries.[17][18] Additionally, she is a member of the editorial advisory board of the Journal of Knowledge and Communication Management,[19] and editor-in-chief of the Pakistan Journal of Information Management and Libraries (formerly Pakistan Journal of Library and Information Science)[20] from 2005 to 2009.[17][21][22]
In a 2013 study of examining why impact scores for Pakistani authors in the LIS field were generally low, Sajjad Ullah Jan and Mumtaz A. Anwar found that Ameen had an h-index of 5, but her ranking was the third highest total published papers of the 11 published library and information science faculty in Pakistan (out of a total of 53 faculty members, most unpublished). That said, 37.7% of the citations were self-citations, more than other published Pakistani LIS authors, but even after removing self-citations, Ameen maintained third position.[23] By 2016, Ameen's h-index had risen to 12.[24]
Personal life
Ameen is the mother of Ali Zafar, a Pakistani actor and singer.[25] In a 2010 interview with Abdul Samad Ansari, Ameen explained that she entered into an arranged marriage with her husband, Mohammad Zafarullah.[26]
Honours and awards
In 2010, Ameen received the Pakistan Library Association (PLA) Appreciation Award for Academic Achievement.[27] That same year, she also received a Best University Teacher Award from the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan[22][28] but the award carried added significance for Ameen as she was "the first-ever library information science professor to earn the honour."[29] In 2013, Ameen received the Asian Library Leader's Award for Professional Excellence from the Satija Research Foundation for Library and Information Science, India.[30]
