Dear All Library Professionals,

LIS Links is a good platform where we can share our thoughts and discuss for the upliftment of our profession.All credit goes to Dr. Badam Barman for his great efforts and contributions in this regard.

I have a common question to all of you

How many of you had visited the website of ILA or any other professional organization last week?

How many from us are satisfied with the contribution of these professional organizations for benefit of our profession and professionals?

How many from us always feel that the structure and working of these professional organizations should be changed?

How many of you think that these organizations is effectively raising their voices towards the problems faced by library professional in India?

Are these organizations supporting any professional events in terms of financial support or any means?

Are they providing any kind of professional training and value added courses to professionals?

The questions are so many, but i think that the above questions are enough to understand the role of these professionals organization.

I am requesting you to kindly come forward and share their valuable ideas in this matter. It is sure that nothing will happen until unless we professionals come forward in big way.

There is a great need of Restructuring of Library Associations in India and make them alive .

I am looking forward to get more ideas and suggestions and to work out with some policy for these organizations.

Deepak Sharma
