Re: [LIS-Forum] Need to Review the Present Nomenclature
by Charu Mathur 23 Aug '08

23 Aug '08

Respected friends, I fully agree with Prof. P.B.Mangla that now it is high time has to change not only the nomenclature but also the whole image of LIS World. Although, we have entered in digital world, still LIS Professionals are considered not more than circulation clerk and library is a place where one can get the books or in most sophisticated words INFORMATION. To break the ice, our well conversant LIS Force must be equipped with latest technology. Internet and its peripherals are the essential element of LIS world. Open Access, Virtual Library, Knowledge Repository, E-Resources, Blogging, User Behaviour, Communication Technology and techniques, Cyber law, Intellectual Property Right, Meta Data are most prevailing terms nowadays but they are no- where in LIS curriculum in any level. A fine integration of history and modern technique of LIS is need of the day. Regards, Miss Charu Mathur -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
