Re: [LIS-Forum] Need to change the present nomenclature
by sudipta chatterjee 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

My Respected Professional Colleagues! Library & Information Science, in the truest sense has become very dynamic during the last 2 decades.... and, the Indian scenario in general is, we are lagging far behind in comparison to the progressive countries all around the Globe..... We love to call us Library & Information Professionals, and that's nice indeed.... but, before we go for further nomenclature, we must start categorizing ourselves as First Generation Librarians (Conventionals!), Second Generation Librarians (All of us those are very excited to observe the current happenings and appreciate modern trends in our field through out the world, and, we end up there!), Third Generation Librarians (The Techno. Savvy Group and who dare to be Innovative and have the courage to Design, Develop, IIntroduce, and mpelement Library & Information Systems & Services in any given set-up)..... so and so. Our basic handicap is we are incapable to dream BIG.... The course curriculum in Indian Universities are not at all COMPLETE (not WHOLESOME rather!), Most of the Reseraches and Published Articles lack originality (in most cases cut-copy-paste sort of thing, because we are too good in plagiarism!). And, mental-make-up-wise, we lack flexibilty and innovativeness..... in general. WELL, YES, EXCEPTIONS are always there! Well, our scope of job encompasses so many aspects nowadays..... Library Management, Information Management, Knowledge Management (in most cases applied in wrong sense!), Information Resources Management (from selection and procurement to preservation & conservation in different media and format), Reference, Refferal, Document Delivery, Reprography, Indexing & Abstracting, Bibliography/Webliography Compilation, Content Analysis, Content Development, Technical Writing, Presentation, Digitization..... And, what not? All these are ever-increasing and ever-demanding which call for too many expertise including excellent Information Skills, Inter-Personal Skills, Managerial Skills.... and a good number of soft-skills.... Therefore, I believe, the need of the moment is not a so-called PROPER nomenclature, but, adequate NOURISHMENT of the PROFESSION itself! We need a better FINISHING... that's all about it! "Library & Information Science" is OK for time-being.... because, I believe the SCIENTIFIC approach (our mind-set wise) is the PRIME requirement for achievibg professional excellence.... Well, I had stopped to the "THIRD GENERATION'.... the FOURTH GENERATION or FIFTH GENERATION Library & Information Profesionals, hope will be in a position to think about a more appropriate nomenclature as far as the profession is concerned, Right? Thank You.
