Definitely sir other subjects are moving forward for ex. MEE to M Tech, MAE to M Sc but our profession is pushing backward in every aspect in recent days. Actually we are handling all the subjects somebody said about Librarians "Librarian should know something in everything" that's why father of LIS Dr S R Ranganathan said "Librarians are Teacher of Teachers" but still today we are pushing back from Small college administration to our National Govt. all are trying ignore Librarianship and Librarians.

I do not see any negative in that matter. It is the guiding nomenclature for the degree. Minimum duration of degree is one year also implies that it can be of maximum 2 years duration of M.L.I.Sc degree.

Some universities and institutions are running two years integrated master degree programme, now they have to change it to one year bachelor degree and one year master degree. In my opinion, now we will not be able to equate ourselves to the general master degree holders in others subjects as there will be a gap of one year in comparison to other's two years master degree programme.

Again, as per your suggestion if we introduce two years M.Lib.I.Sc degree then the entry qualification should be one year B.Lib.I.Sc. degree. So the students should have to undergo three years programme to complete the M.Lib.I.Sc degree.

There are obviously other issues, that will negatively influence the subject.

Dear all,
I believe there is some reason behind the UGC restructuring the programme as such. I remember, a few years back, Karnataka govt. had advertised posts for ASST. Librarians and the qualification required was BLISC. To our utter bad luck none of us who had integrated two year MLISc degree were eligible for the posts. Our applications were rejected on the grounds that we were over qualified for the posts.
Now with UGC restructuring the course with one year BLISc and One year MLISc instead of two years integrated course, sounds only logical. Such flexibility in the course is infact a healthy sign. I don't see any downside to this issue. If the members of this forum feel there are certain issues that are going to be compromised with the bringing in of this change, please spell out clearly.

Also, if the course has to be changed to a two year Master's degree, let there be further depth in the course syllabi.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am not understanding one thing, why changes in names and durations only at outer level?  Whereas, the changes can be done inside the subject.

 

I have observed that one - one - year programmes are not sufficient for making a librarian efficient to meet the current perspectives and challenges. Two years master degree in library science subject is quite important from the different aspects of study and professional growth which includes not only the projects, seminars, educational tours, report writing/submission, workshop, interactions with professionals, understanding only as well as it is one kind of socialization to survive in the domain of knowledge.

If the decisions are not good and in favor of positive system then definitely it is going to disturb the whole system after 10-20 years, when the core and senior professional will not be in the system as actively working today. Without a proper knowledge / understandings no one can handle a library like a library should be. 

 

Actually the changes should be in the course curriculum at content side not in the duration and years and all etc. Library profession is suffering with lot of problem, since it is related on the other subjects. If other community would not work there will not be growth in this library system. Hence, it is directly related with the other educational subject domain means damaged structures of library may spoil the whole educational system.  

 

I would like to convey my best regards to the policy makers, “kindly acknowledge the changes in the content as per the latest curriculum at world level, pass orders and release circulars to universities to adopt the contents of library domain as in foreign universities and also recommend to add the fresh new knowledge in this subject.” Changing name and duration is not a justified step for  growth education.

Thanking You,
