As information technology advances and changes in the library environment, a flexible view and reinventing perspective of LIS research is necessary. This study focused on the investigation of the recent(2000-2003) research trends by analyzing the contents of articles from the major academic research journals for getting a future oriented view of the field. A taxonomy developed by Hawkins(2003) was applied in order to find out the major pattern of research in the domestic as well as international LIS Journals, and Chi-Square Tests Analysis was used to figure out if the research pattern has any effect on research environment(vice versa).
