Dear All, This mail has reference to the ongoing discussion on a large number of webinars happening in the field of LIS since the start of lockdown period. There is no doubt that these Webinars have provided an opportunity for all us to spend our idle time at home productively either through sharing knowledge as speakers or gaining knowledge as listeners. But there is a saying in English that 'too much of a good thing can be bad'. We know that even breathing pure oxygen at higher than the normal partial pressure will lead to oxygen poisoning. What I want to say is that the human mind has its own limitations and it can absorb information only to certain extent and whatever we offer beyond that limit will go waste. We have to accept the fact the increased number of Webinars in the field of LIS during this lockdown period have created a kind of confusion among the professionals with regard to their participation in them. In contrary to this, as Dr. Vinit Kumar has rightly pointed out, most of these Webinars are optional in nature and it is left to the professionals to decide whether they want to take part in them. As I have noticed, most of the Webinars conducted so far in the field had wonderful themes. Though I personally wanted to attend most of them, I could not do so due to clash of dates and timings between the events. The beauty of these Webinars is that they can be made available in the form of You Tube recordings for those who missed them. We can enrich our knowledge by watching those videos during our free time. Some of the reasons for the increased number of Webinars are: 1. Most of the librarians want to prove to their management that they are productive even during the lockdown by organising various webinars. 2. Most of the LIS professionals want to attend as many number of Webinars as possible to collect Certificates of Participation so that they use them for their promotional prospects. If we change our mind sets and learn how to be selective in choosing the events for participation based on their quality and our requirements, then we need not worry about the increasing numbers. Instead of holding Webinars exclusively for LIS professionals, I think we (librarians) should hold such events for the benefit of our own library users (students/ faculty/ researchers) which will not only enhance the visibility to our work as librarians but will also give us a satisfaction of doing something fruitful for the welfare of the society.
