LIS Profession Heading Towards Parasitic Status? A Rejoinder
by Vasanth 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Dear Sir/madam, This write up is in response to Prof. I.R.N. Gouder’s posting entitled “LIS Profession heading towards parasitic status? Published in LIS forum on 31th May 2015. Before making a rejoinder for this posting, let me make a disclaimer that, I have making this comment on my personal behalf. The parity with regards to salary of LIS profession and teaching fraternity is always a continuous issue and has been in discussion for quite some time, so as the appointments of librarians in universities and other highly reputed institutions. Anil Singh of NCERT has recently written a small piece in Current Science about how libraries and librarians have been neglected in academic and scientific organizations in India (See http://www.currentscience.ac.in/Volumes/108/09/1578.pdf) Library professionals have to do something to address this issue seriously. Professional associations have a bigger role in addressing this issue. Let us come to the core issue of Prof. I.R.N. Gouder postings that LIS schools across the globe have been closing or converting themselves as Information Schools or I-Schools. Today LIS courses are more and more have becoming multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary in nature. In a country like India where the gap of information rich and information poor is still exists, it is libraries which are truly democratic can fill this gap, so that the library profession has to thrive with all hurdles. However, we should not blind for the happenings across the world with regard to LIS profession. Even the prestigious LIS Schools such as Indiana University’s School of Library and Information Science (SLIS), Royal School of Library and Information Science (RSLIS) and many other LIS schools in the recent past have joined the iSchool Caucus or renamed themselves as Information Schools (iSchools) (See http://www.ischools.org) If we skim through the domain of faculty of this I-Schools one may wonder that why computational linguists or people having interest in culture of information, history and data mining and semantic web and what not associated with I-Schools. This multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary nature that is driving the cutting edge research in content industry today. In this context it is very much inevitable for LIS professionals to understand the changing nature of content industry (as we all know library profession is very much part of it). MyDLIS (Mysore University Department of Library and Information Science) for many years has been at the helm in changing or modifying its curriculum to fit to the changing needs of the information industry time to time. In fact syllabus on computer technologies was brought into the MyDLIS curriculum way back in 1976 itself. Digital libraries, MARC, Dublin Core, Open Access initiatives, Unicode all these concepts were taught at the MyDLIS in 2002 itself. Dublic Core, DL, OAI and Unicode all these concepts were very much new to LIS domain at that time (at least in India). The Golden Jubilee Summit on “Information Unbounded: The Past, Present and the Future of Information Science” is very much needed for Indian LIS community that too for students and research scholars to understand where LIS profession is heading. The title itself is futuristic. Many of the speakers invited for the MyDLIS Golden Jubilee Summit are very much part of library and information profession. For example: Prof. Gio Wiederhold is involving in semantic web, Dr. Oard’s research interest is in the area of information access and retrieval, Prof. Mike Shepherd and Dr. Carolyn Watters interest in Web Indexing. It is a rare opportunity to hear the great stalwarts of information/content industry. MyDLIS for many years has invited speakers from different domain who have been involving in research on information organization, access and retrieval to address students and faculty (for example informatics Endowment Lecture series). MyDLIS is always at the forefront in understanding and addressing the issue of changing nature of LIS education. This has made MyDLIS always special for me. Why speakers from LIS fraternity from India are not invited for the Summit? There is sufficient answer in this posting, if we need further evidence today people who are talking of LIS profession is not only from LIS domain but from other domain as well. Prof. Ram Ramaswamy, former VC of University of Hyderabad (https://hcurocks.wordpress.com/2011/08/14/s-r-ranganathan/) is one such example. Subbaiah Arunachalam is also a very notable example. It is good for the LIS profession to hear from other domain experts about libraries (information/content) to chart its future course (in India). ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.
