Dear Professional,

It is my personal view that after S. R. Ranganathan, there is no major development and image of library profession in public mind. But down towards. The settled professional and Major Associations are doing nothing for the future of this profession.

 

I appreciate Dr. Badan that he done a nice job to provide us a form to be united for our professional and commit with IT professional.

 

If IT is the basic requirement then why the UGC don't change the syllabus of LIS and make compatible with changing demand of this Era.

 

It is my own personal opinion. Give suggestion.

Can't deny the very fact you uttered. Development in it's cognitive level has already been stalled. The literary output in the professional domain is obviously proliferating, but the quantum of information being generated is hardly fundamental and cognitive.  See the problem with CC. The development probably reached its full cycle, no new vision is illuminating. The library science journals previously endorsed to much importance to Bibliometrics, now the "digital" is the focus. Real problem is, when one of the students asked me why do we have know AACR-II and RDA while it is hardly applicable to primary unit libraries or school libraries; the reverse relationship of job and education  was clear to me. Library Science is a professional course with heavy input of academic dynamism, which need to be nourished. It's really cool that you have noticed.

Regds,

Dear Professional

Perhaps you know that from Haryana state only 120 Librarian are registered on lislinks.com and most of them are not active member (Registration is totally free). Thousands of people are working as library professionals in private and govt. added institutes in Haryana. They all are try for better job, for good salary but they needn't aware about his/her profession.

Mr. Dev you notice that people of other professions like B.Tech.,MBA,M.SC.I.T. are going to become Librarian and a person having M.Phil in Library & Information Sc. can't become librarian according to vacancies advertized by SSA, Panchkula,Haryana.

Now you can think the future of Library Professionals********

Yes,
I am also agree with you ,Practical training should be added at least for 6 months in Library science syllabus

Ma'am,

Only practical training is not enough in the present context, the UGC should think more about this profession and make it valuable. Include the new required subject and dropped the out of service subjects from sysllabus.

Thanx for the contribution of this burning issue.

Baldev Singh

I strongly agree,

I also think that UGC should make a standard sylabus with a blend or traditional & Modern LIS techniques & all universities should follow that.

You are right sir
