Abstract

Emergence of multidisciplinary subjects is a socio-economic necessity of current day life. They are supported by a variety of sponsors such as governments, institutions, missions at the international, national and local levels. Curiosity and creativity of individuals have accelerated the emergence of multidisciplinary subjects. This paper discusses the ways and means of development of such subjects.

The indication of these developments can be seen by the emergence of different kinds of publications of books, conferences and periodicals. The library classification schemes and other devices used for information retrieval are keeping pace with these developments. For this purpose, models for development of much disciplinary subjects are identified.
