LIS education should be paced from the existing position. Like minded people, LIS experts' responsibility is louded at this cause. Although we are doing well still many missing spots are clearly visible. Be it social status, pay structure or treatment at par with their counterparts are all the issues laying with the profession. Teaching and research is also very pivotal. we are shining in the academics but research in few areas like basic reserch, reserch in fundamentals even classification and ctaloguing are to be looked into. Invisibility of teachers from the Library Schools is also alrming. It seems the time will come many Indian Library Schools may have the fate of Columbia Library School. Government is not giving importance nor even our teachers are concerned . Sometimes we all should be blamed ourselves for this sicky look of our profession. We encourage guest faculties, corrresponce degrees, ad hoc teachers instead we can demand the regular appointees. This blog is not only mine but also many others who think and show their sympathy, solidarity and plead for the cause of LIS education and its promotion in India.
Long Live LIS Education. Jai Hind.
