What steps should be taken by the lis professionals to improve the status of the profession ?
Most of the lay men still used to think that librarian has nothing more to do. Again today most of the surveys have shown that due to internet the percentage of the user of the libraries have reduced a lot and the profession is at a risk. So, what steps should be taken by the lis professionals to improve the status of the profession ?

Dear ,
We professional know our dignity & respect, rights & quality within us. Librarians are not alone stupid; they are made several time stupid by their disciplinary committee. He/She alone can’t do any things without appeal granted. So individually professional is improving their quality day by day but fail to improve profession.
