Dear Friends, *4Ps* of Marketing Management formula for library services: 1. Purge (destroy) the outdated material. 2. Preserve / Protect the knowledge through proper documentation. 3. Produce / Publish or create the knowledge. 4. Promote Research: Librarian should publish the papers and should act as catalyst to the faculty. Prof. Omprakash Gupta, Professor Prairie View A & M University, USA had presented these *4Ps* in his mesmerizing key note address in round table conference of MANLIBNET on "Management Librarians and their Role in Promoting Research" which was held in Ahmedabad recently.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Need to change the present nomenclature
by Charu Mathur 03 Sep '08

Dear Sudipta Chatterjee, Countless thanks for such acknowledging the LIS generations. It is a hard core truth that we all are providing much sophisticated and technical services to our users, but still are covered in sinlge phrase LIBRARIANS. Instead we can be better known as KNOWLEDGE PROFESSIONALS in broader terms. There is an article penned down by Sheila S. Intner, Professor in USA College, titled, "The 'L' Word Versus the 'I' Word". This article has raised and elaborates the same issues, we are dealing with, initiated by Professor Mangla. I request to all my worthy friends to go through this article on following link : http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/1529671/the_l_word_versus_the_i_word/ Regards, Miss Charu Mathur. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
