LIS Syllabus : India Vs Western Countries, Are we Learning / Teaching outdated syllabus?

Dear All,

I have gone through the some of the western LIS syllabus, which is teaching in Western LIS schools, It is seems to be highly potential as well as timely updated syllabus according to the latest trends of LIS but in Indian scenario we are far beyond from the Western countries, We are partially learning / teaching outdated or syllabus which is not up to the mark as per latest trend, However some of the LIS schools are offering at least new areas as per the latest trends but most of the departments are remain same with a old one and therefore i am requesting to the all LIS professionals who are involving in the curriculum development, Please look at the trends and prepare accordingly.

Thanks and hoping for your valuable comments and suggestions.....!

its absolutely correct that our studies in LIS is based on so far  old syllabus. But our competition exams in LIS field is being conducted based upon latest trends.

Dear Sir

    Your absolutely right, most of the LIS  department's have  outdated syllabus and  there is only theory classes, practical classes are not helding properly.  that is the cause why we are facing problems everyday in our professional life. 

 As a budding professional i would like to share some things.   

There should be 2 hour practical classes  in library everyday.

There should be internship programme after completing course.

It is essential..

( Classes on Language/Communication development,Discussion on latest trends in LIS field,Latest or popular  LIS softwares,Digital library, Databases,LIS professional websites/blogs, Research,Recent trends, New terms in LIS,Seminars,Get to gather with other LIS departments students,Special lecture's from department successful alumnies, Mock interviews, Job opportunities Information,NET/SET preparation classes,etc., )

Thanking you.   

Thanks Mahesh for your comments, You have given broader area coverage, However some of the departments are following some of them that you have covered in broader area, My concern is that we have to make our syllabus as per international standards that will help to create a competitive as we all potential LIS professionals.

Thanks...!

I agree with both of you. But the main drawback is that there are very less students who want to persue this professtion. The students are also not upto mark to take the international standards.

Thanks
