<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Dear All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I strongly agreed with Prof. P. B.
Mangla's view. This is the day where people think more about
management. It will be very much helpful to those who will be getting the
degree or post graduate degree in Library and Information Science. There
are Management course on various aspect of production, finance and
personnel relate subject. If that kind of management course is being
introduced in Library and Information Science, I think those will give the newly
degree holders a more value. I am a Library professional in the
Industrial Library. Where the most of the higher authority think that
Library Science degree is a very cheap degree and<FONT color=#ff00ff> <STRONG>it
is mostly done by the Ladies only</STRONG>.</FONT> They don't give
proper value to our professional. I feel if the new library
information degree holder can get some sort of BLIM (Bachelor of Library
and Information Management), Or MLIM (Master of Library
and Inforamtion Management) it will also give the so-called
industrial head a chance to think better professional status to them. As
these people is having an idea that Library and Information Sceince is not a
Technical Degree. </FONT></DIV>

Present Nomenclature</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Dear Professsionals,</DIV>
<DIV>For quite some time I have been debating with people in the LIS
that it is high time that we give a fesh look to the nomenclature of our
professional degrees. I now strongly hold the view that the word Science
in our qualifications has lost its utility or charm and the professional
degree should henceforth be called B./M.degree in Library &
information Management.This is the need of the hour and our courses should be
revised accordingly.The name Lib.& Inf.Sc. has today become a misnomer. I
would like to have the view of the professionals through this Forum and then
we should possibly plan a strategy to bring about the desired
cahnge.</DIV>
<DIV>Best wishes,</DIV>
