Introduction of 3 years BLIS course in degree colleges by UGC.
All library professionals are requested to share your views regarding recent news for CBSE notification and raise a voice to introduce 3 years BLIS course in all degree college by UGC to save our profession. Now a days Library and Information is a complete subject and it can be taught like other subject which have a least application with compare to LIS field. .Now CALCUTTA UNIVERSITY INTRODUCE 5 YEARS INTEGRATED MLIS after HS.So it should be introduce in college level educationย .Some subjects have ย application in ย in teaching field but least in practical field. LIS is more acceptable with compare to them. If once it is introduce in degree college our employment opportunity will also be created.ย
In LIS there are a little chance in teaching profession as it is studied in University Level only. After qualifying NET/SET only 1% get teaching job and 99% apply for librarian/asst.librarian job. But in other field the scenario is reverse. But after certificate,diploma,BLIS and MLIS there are ample scope in different field. but in other subject except some specialized field there are either only in teaching or other field. one can go for general competition after 10+2+3 in any stream. So there are a lot of avenues in this field. As it is a practical oriented course only regular degree holders get chances over distance degree holders. Now BLIS is considered as PG degree as minimum eligibility is UG degree. If all CBSE SCHOOL implement this course at least 2 teachers should be recruited for this course. Can you imagine how many MLIS youths of our field be employed? If UGC Started this in UG Degree level how many NET/SET/PHD get serve as an Assistant Professor? In India there are more than 20,000 degree colleges and if i assume that at least 5 teacher needed for UG Degree courses.How many teacher is required if 10% of that colleges started this course.

I think now this is the requirement of time :
- UGC must implement it at national level to all the central and state universities ย affiliated colleges as 3 year teaching hons course and pass course..
- At university level advance level pgdlan and mphil and phd with 2 year master course be implemented .
- Only Blib sc course can be shifted to college level from the university level and 3 year graduation hons course and pass course be introduce at college level.

Thanks sir for your replay.I wanted to know whether it is 3 years UG course after 10+2. If yes then it is a good move by them and it should spread all the under graduate level colleges. I found that a huge number of students doing their BLIS and MLIS in distance mode. and almost among all distance learning universities have a huge no of students are of BLIS or MLIS. Now a days this course is limited up to the UNIVERSITY LEVEL ONLY. Hence only a few no of students from regular stream in spite of huge demand thus the quality of education degraded to a certain extant. So I raised that issue. If most of the under graduate level collages started that course it will develop our field finally through more talented students involvement in this field.

We are praising to CBSE and CALCUTTA UNIVERSITY for opening the LIS courses. But at the same time we should emphasis on demand and supply of LIS professionals. Number of universities are running the LIS courses all over India. Thousands of students are passing out from these LIS deptts. And result is that these students are bound to work even in the salary of Rs.2000-5000 p.m. Because demand is less and supply is more.ย
Therefore, we should emphasis on filling up of all the vacant posts rather than opening the courses.ย
