ICSSSM 2025: First International Conference on Smart Systems and Social Management at The Assam Royal Global University, Guwahati

Need to change the Structure and Title of Library and Librarian in modern Era ?

Do you think that there is no good image of librarian in the society in this IT era ? ILA and other Indian organisation should think about it otherwise the tallented people will not come in this profession and will transfer to another profession.

My personal view that there should be the title like "information professional/scientist/??? and there should be the course of Bachelor degree after 12th such as Bsc(IT) and sysllabus should be about the automation and handling of electronic and digital informaion?

Please contribute your valuable suggestion about it. Thanks

yes,sir i agree this point the librarian post is not valuable but now days as a lecture and a librarian as a same treeted

But ILA is sleeping.

For the last 5 years I have been advovcating exactly what you have said. But the appropriate authority has never tried to bridge the gap. I wrote many letters to the UGC , State Govt of WB but they have never responded me. In fact they have chosen not to respond. Sometimes not responding is a kind of response. Look, ILA, IASLIC and other similar state govt. Library associations have different priorities because they never fought for the Library field from the core of their heart but for their own vested interest. Sending a letter by some senior fellows who are on the verge of retirement/ retired will never highlight the priorities of Junior librarians or library itshelf.3-4 years back one organisation IALA started by Dr. Kannur,Chief Librarian , Bangalore University advocated the need of junior professionals rightly but I think this organisation is not active now. Some states, like Maharastra & other are trying worth but it appears that national organisations have set different goals to achieve.

you are right Beldev ji in this era the image of librarian is not very much effective. its my  personal experience. whenever i given interview  maximum interviewer thought that librarians don't do any thing  in library, when i am talking  with peoples about LIS  they said  " ((((library walo ko krna hi kya hota a sara  din bethe rehte h )))))) asa kyo h i don't know. peoples not know the importance of librarian and  LIS as well.  i love my profession(LIS) very much.

RATNESH kumar LIS from UP said,

"kabhi kabhi lagata hai library science kar ke koi gunaah kar diya hai kya"
i think he is very disappointed about LIS. 
but i dont think  like this about my profession. yes automation should be start after M.LIS not only this placement should also be done. because the era is everything is in ""e""" like "e-librarian".    -----------title may me "information specialist" ,"Information manager", we can also another name like university library specialist,school library specialist, college library specialist. and so on. don't  do like this............

LIS profession just want unity in professionals.

you are right Baldev ji image not very good today's librarian. its my personal experience interviewer said """library walo ko krna kya hota h vo to bs bethe reh te h>>>>peoples  not know much more about it. i am feeling very bad when people said like this. automation should be start after BLIS. ...........

name may be information manager, information specialist, university library specialist ,college library specialist and so on.

please don't do like this...........................

in this case library law is necessary
