Is there any foroum at national or international level for planning or scheduling or atleast record keeping of seminars/ conferences/ work-shops/ symposiums being held on Library & Information Sc.
"Principle of Parsimony" given by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan, also directs to get maximum output by investing minimum possible amount, I think many of us might have also noticed that, most of the conferences, seminars, work-shops, symposiums being organized in the field of Library & and Information Science are exclusively focused on Digital Library /E-library/Handling of E-resources only . Do you not think that, other topics are getting ignored? We all are putting maximum of money, energy and resources in discussing the same topic in different places under different banners and I personally think that the output are coming out of those are near about the same. I also agree that this is the new subject in our field and these types of activities are to discuss the latest happenings in our subject but, I think each and every subject of our field should be grown by the time. Now a days nobody talks on the other topics, i.e., Collection Developing Policies (CDP), Betterment of Readers Services, Management Practices in Library Science, Library Cooperation, Communication Skills and Personality Development of library personnel, Correspondence and Report Writing, Technical Notes, etc. The more topics would be added in this list if, more people will think on it.
Do you think, there should be any forum / body / Institution / authority to organize or to provide guidance for organizing these activities in India, in a planned manner so that "The Principle of Parsimony" could also be satisfied and the other topics could also be discussed? It could make possible the over all development of our field.
Please give your views about my question / If you have any other suggestions to make possible the same, please give your idea to change this scenario.
