Shalini has spoken on a wide range of professional issues concerning teaching and practicing librarianship. She shares her inspiring journey of teaching, handling global project works and institution building. She is of the strong view that the dynamically changing global trends in library and information science need to be seen through different lenses and also maintains that LIS is a meta discipline and hence we have to become meta by rising above the disciplinary borders. Her message to the budding LIS teachers and professionals is worth following. Please visit the following link for accessing the interview transcript.
