Re: [LIS-Forum] Need to Review the Present Nomenclature
by Dr. M. Koteswara Rao 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Dear colleagues, I am happy to note that prof. mangla has raised a very relevant and pertinent issue which is also brooding in my mind for some time. Yes, indeed the 'science' in our profession does not stand out clearly for obvious reasons. In our universities, we have LIS departments under the faculty of Arts and Science also. We also notice that every other profession has a clear mandate and a 'professional calling' which is acceptable and respected by everyone. I think with the introduction of IT in libraries the LIS profession has come a long way both in term of skills used by the library staff to deliver information in non-traditional ways, and the paradigm shift in information generation, storage, processing and dissemination itself. The name Library & Information Management is aptly suitable for our professional courses as suggested by Prof. Mangla. Dr. M. Koteswara Rao Librarian University of Hyderabad > Dear Professsionals, > 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.

Need to Review the Present Nomenclature
by pramod mangla 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Dear Professsionals, 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. Best wishes, Prof.P.B.Mangla -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
