Considering this necessity, the National Library of Sri Lanka has decided to establish an Ethics Review Committee for the Library &amp; Information Science (LIS) field.<br><br>\n\nLIS-ERC is to help the researchers in promoting and adhering to ethical principles in research and to ensure the safety and well-being of participants of research as well as the researcher\/s.<br><br>\n\nOnce completion
