Now the LIS professionals is not called today only the libaraian but now they are designated as Knowledge manager, Information manager, Information professionals, Information provider, Information broker, Information intermediaries.

but first of all we will have to be a Librarian after that we will get Knowledge manager, Information manager, Information professionals, Information provider, Information broker, Information intermediaries. you are right LIS profession is growing and growing but every body will have to start with first step.
And the most important thing is to respect themselves and their profession.
