agreed but what should be the new name i think it may be library and information officer, information analyst, information scientist so many if all are unite on any one of them we can represent authorities and u got new designation.but it is not so easy

Dear Prabhatji

 

Changing of designation cant be so easy. On our own we cant do that way, of course we can build some openion on the same. But the whole thing will depend how to get it done. In fact the directorate level or on UGC level this thought should be communicated then only this can happen.

Hope that you might have got my view.

To change the designation efforts should be taken by Library associations and the top level personalities of LIS.
Yes, I agree with your reflection, the nomenclature of Librarian must be changed actually it an honest duty of our LIS authorities, LIS associations to make it out.

In my opinion the in academic library the college librarian must be called as an Assistant Professor (Library Services), Associate Professor and so on.

In special libraries; Scientist, technical officer etc.
yes sir this is the resposibility  of the LIS Associations
