[LIS-Forum] Second LISA distinguished lecture delivered by Prof.Anil D. Sahasrabudhe Chairman AICTE

[Pandurang Konnur]

Dear Professional Friends,

LIS academy profusely thanks all the admirers and supporters of the
initiatives of Academy.

The Second LISA distinguished lecture was delivered by Prof.Anil D.
Sahasrabudhe Chairman AICTE on "Role of Libraries in implementation of
NEP-2020 Framework". The lecture was attended by more than 300 Library
professionals across India on both WebEx and YouTube platforms. Prof.
Sahasrabudhe’s talk addressed many critical issues of the LIS
Profession currently, which is at crossroads due to several changing
dynamics. NEP's expectations from the libraries in the coming years
are well articulated in his talk and set a new direction and benchmark
for the library community. His holistic views of reinventing and
repositioning libraries in the learning ecosystem have set a road map
to academic librarians at various levels.

I am very happy to bring to the notice of this forum that
Prof.Sahasrabudhe and Prof.Karisiddappa have admired the role of
Librarians in serving the community of information users. During the
question hour in response to the suggestions I made on behalf of the
Technical Institution Librarians, Prof.Sahasrabudhe has also assured
the LIS professionals’ that he will immediately consider to issue
necessary directives to all the institutions under AICTE across the
country to treat the Librarians as one among Academic Staff and also
assured to form a committee to recommend the staff pattern for
Technical Institutions in the country. As proposed to the VTU, LIS
Academy will submit a proposal through VTU, to the AICTE for necessary
implementation.

I humbly submit to all the LIS Professionals to support the
initiatives of LIS Academy and help us to help the Profession at
large.

Thank & Regards,

P.V.Konnur
President,
LIS Academy.
