Dear professionals, I often came across with this argue in work place if library will still exist in future, its said librarian is not required anymore in computer age and in digital. Everything in online and accessible from home with no space consuming. Its hard to debate on this topic. Just sharing here.

Recently in the Defence Research & Development Organization Workshop on “Innovative and Emerging Technologies for Library Professionals”. Venue: Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied Sciences, New Delhi. Dates: 4-8 August 2014 this matter was raised by Prof. Shalini R Urs.

Personally I think,

The library in the present form will not exist in future. Even the librarian will be weeded out from the society. The Library budget cuts across the globe, closing of the some of the existing libraries, non recruitment of vacant posts, diminishing uses of the libraries start reflecting the same.

The Librarian and Library should adapt towards the changes happening in the society. It need to be redefined to suit the taste of the modern times.

Good Evening Sir,

Personally I respect you very much u r the inspiration to me for doing MLIS preparing for NET purchased your published material. I really feel sad when I saw your post its like discouragement to me . Hope there will be a best opportunities for librarians.

Dear Abdul Azeez

Please don't feel sad by the views of Dr. Barman Sir. It is just an opinion, like you also have, just opposite of it. And, it is public speaking, so you should protest it by giving your valuable suggestions in this regards.

Dear Azeez,

Based on my knowledge and belief I think that the libraries will not exist in present form and it is only my personal view. I dont found a reason for demotivation here. The libraries are evolving, the future organization that will support our teachers, students by way of selecting, curating, providing information may not be the our traditional libraries. People even start renaming the Libraries as Knowledge Centre, Information Centre and so on.

Kindly note the following comments. People have completely different views.

The Library will close forever when:

1. The kids will stop using pencil and notebook.

2. The teachers will stop using books in their teaching and research activities.

3. When the publishers will stop publishing,

4. When the knowledge will disappear.

...you are right Mr. Bharat

You have put the very right, related and interrelated views, connected to each other, with different domains.  

Very nice... justifications.

just we have to follow the current skill and service according to user requirement.....we save our profession for ever......

well said sir

Dear Professionals thanks for sharing your views in this forum.

Dear professionals,

   In the era of the rise of digital technologies and the accompanying rise of audio-visual culture;
the future of the library is, in some way, a paradox.

dear professionals,

                   accrdng to my opinion we have to adopt the required skills if those situations will arise..

Libraries will only survive if the communities they serve want and need them to.

                                                                                                                                                ---Slate
