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 education .Some subjects have application in 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.
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.

if lis course implemented in the degree collegees just think how many employment oppertunities are open in the field ...
-in a college department of lis will be created and 3 to 4 lecturar will be appoin ted in the college.
-In CBSC it good that its implemented ....so that a student can be able to gain knowledge .In future this course can be a criteria to enter into blib courses in the college levele.
----then there where the unemployment scenario will be created
