Re Lis- Forum on Specialisationfor Lis Students.
by naganarasimha shailaja 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Sir Are we not going back to late 70's and 80's? where students had "Methodology of Study of Stubjects". Students Studied one subject in Detail like the meaning,the broad coverage,its branches etc.and collected information about the reference & Text books available,journals,experts etc. As such the opening to the LIS Students are less. With specialisation their opening will be much more restricted.Instead they should be taught how to learn about a subject field fast. And in a work situation they can be asked to learn about the subject with which the institution works for Two or Three months. The experience shows that computers and soft wares are not every thing.They should be sharp in learning things as and when required. If it has to be an addition in the existing MLIS Module, the course duration will have to be increased.Is it feasible? Like in universities in other countries short term courses may be introduced in the University departments in specialised subjects.Like Medical information Science,Software company information Science, Newspaper & Media Information science Etc.This can have a apprentice training and close interaction with specialists and the industries and institutions.Another major need of the hour is training in Communication and Language which is a major requirement in Library & Information Centres.

Dear Professional Regarding Mr.Rajesh Aldarthi's discussion I have a doubt. Specialisation in many branhes of scince,commerce or arts whatever it may be is it possible to study entire subject in one semester? for eg.Chemistry, is it possible to learn about the subject in deapth to know the structure of any compound?. Upto what extent university has to incorporate? interviewer may ask more than that if he comes to know he/she has taken that particular subject as a specialization.
