INTRODUCE LIS IN 3 YRS DEGREE COURSE IN COLLEGES

There are very few college in India which offer Library Information Sc as a choice for combination in 3 yrs degree course.

I strongly fell the LIS community should come forward with proposal to their respective college/university to start this subject.

It will be just a combination with subject like History,Geography, Education,Physical education etc in the pass or honourse level.

One year BLISc,MLISc will have no clash with it as it is with BEd and Education.

More students,more study,means more development in the profession.

What do u think?

Dear Mr. Subhasis,

You are right. We the college librarians (selected through WB College Service Commission having Lectureship NET/SET qualifications) have already submitted a memorandum to the Hon'ble MIC, Department of Higher Education of WB where we have clearly mentioned this point and requested to introduce 3 years B.Sc (Hons/Pass) course of LIS in our Universities. It will surely make LIS more acceptable to the students/parents as a viable career option and in fact it will help Librarians to get their deserving societal respect in due course of time.

 

When a subject is introduced at the graduation level there are more entrants at the post graduate level also, in due course of time and thus quality of the profession, followers as well as the leaders improve. But there is a certain level of sustainability in each profession i.e no. of practitioners which a particular profession can accommodate. For example : an  unpopular profession like archaeology has 0% unemployment rate and on the other side our economy can't accommodate so many unskilled MBA's and Engineers today (but popular streams)..........This only time can tell that are we ready for such an influx...........?

yes i also think so. then the professionals passing out from universities can absorb themselves.

 

I agree with your point. But some care in respect of academic and professionals controversy  has to be taken care of . Such as in B.Ed and education, those  with Hons , MA with NET/SET in education consideres themselfs as academic and eligibale to teach Hons and MA in education and also four compulasry paper in B.ED. On the other hand M.A/M.SC with  BEd, MEd.and NET/SET are professionals and eligible to teach mainly methods papers only. If duel system like BLIsc, MLISc and Hons, MA in library Sc runs parally then this type of problem may arise particularly when most of the professionals are practicenars. But, it is a healthy issue and we should come forward to a decession nationwise.
