LIS Courses in India : An Education or Entertainment...?
by Ram Harsha 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

Before saying about the topic i taken first of all i would like to devotedly pass on my good wishes to MyDlis and Milan for their successful prevail over the programme meet & greet and as well as the international conference on Information Unbounded: the past, the present, and the future of Information Sciences. These three days programme has given me an immense pleasure to get comprehensive dulcet memories by mingling with elite professionals and the alumni of DLIS. So, I am heart fully indebted to the organizer for having all of us gathered under a single umbrella. In this forum, I would like to share some of the great reminiscences i could get in the conference. This conference had some panel discussions which was very informative and instructive to a young professional like me to improve our profession. Polemics in the discussions were very much interesting and pleasing for me but amongst the topics discussed by panelists INDENTITY CRISIS tempted me a lot. So, uncontrolling myself i have decided to talk quite a lot about it on this forum. *IDENTITY CRISIS* when this theme/topic raised most of the participants have become emotional and started talking that all librarians are facing this issue in the society and we are not being respected like other professionals such as doctor and engineer are respected and some said that we are not notable in the world. For this talk one of the panelists has replied that the reason behind this identity crisis is the number of library professionals are produced more than what is required and another panelist suggested that to overcome this issue the number of students should be reduced in BLIS/MLISc. Now firstly my polemic over their opinions, suggestions and as well as the burning topic identity crisis in library professional is “our course Library And Information Science is not the STANDARDIZED one”. Secondly students are not the genuine aspirants of being librarian they join LIS courses just because either they couldn’t get seat in their desired subject (i. e. MSc/MBA/MA) which they have applied to or by influence of their parents/guardians or they may join it thinking that taking degree in LIS course is much easier than other subjects. Because of these kinds of occurrences our course is going to be an ill fated one and unfortunately poor qualitative librarians are produced by all dept of LIS in India. What I didn’t like most is one of the participant suddenly stood up and made a proclamation that LIBRARIANS ARE KING MAKERS it seemed to be very funny for me because just by providing users a books on engineering and science we are not creating any engineers or doctors in the society and one thing I would like to make very much clear to that participant that the same book can be read by many user some may get first rank , some may just pass, some may be failed and go unemployed so librarians are not creating/responsible for unemployment in the society. Hence librarians shouldn’t be compared with other professionals like doctor and engineer because their line of study is completely different and complex than LIS degree. See if anybody wants to become a doctor or engineer he must possess science knowledge in 12th standard/ Pre University Course later they have to pass in CET then only they will get a seat to study BE/MBBS but in our subject that is LIBRARY & INFORMATION SCIENCE it is not like that, anybody can join and pass it easily without hard work and i also feel a student failed in English subject can pass this LIS in a first attempt that too in English medium with first class. From this I can infer that there are no standards or limitations to posses LIS degree. Just by doing 1 or 2 years course we become LIBRARIAN and compare ourselves with doctors and engineers. Dear professionals please don’t think I am underestimating our profession I am just not happy with the mode of our course. My intention is just to tell that only the real aspirants has to become librarian we shouldn’t entertain everyone to become librarian just by opening 1 year or 2 years courses. If one wants to become librarian he must possess LIS knowledge in 12th standard itself followed by bachelor degree in LIS and Masters in LIS. Method of LIS Course has to be meliorated in this way. Universities are there to form a student’s future but no University is bothered about what kind of students they are producing. Especially distance education Universities are spoiling student’s career. They are creating a mess in the society. I believe students are not becoming educated but they are just going qualified unemployed it brought me confusion that whether the “Universities are really educating or entertaining the students”. For this I beseech each and every one of our professors, leaders, presidents, secretaries of all Associations, Networks and all LIS Departments dare to come forward and reform our course otherwise we will have to face a biggest problem in future. If I have said anything incorrectly I kindly request all professionals to guide me and make me a sensible professional. Your comments, critics and suggestions are wholeheartedly welcome.

'International Yoga Day' by KALA, MyLISA and SJCE
by Sunil MV 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

Dear LIS Friends, Librarians did not find themselves lagging behind in celebrating the ‘International Yoga Day’ on June 21. Karnataka State Library Association (KALA) joined with with Mysore Librarians and Information Scientists Association (MyLISA) and Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE) to celebrate the yoga day by organizing a lecture on ‘Yoga and Work-life balance’ by Dr. H.L. Chandrashekar, Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of Mysore, Mysuru. 'Yoga helps in controlling the mind and its turbulence' said Dr. Chandrashekar. Quoting from Adi Shankaracharya’s Viveka-Cuda-Mani, he said Deer (Kuranga), elephant (Matanga), moth (Patanga), fish (Mina) and wasp (brmga) all die from their attachment to one of the five senses, sound etc., and so what about the man who is attached to all five! He said yoga helps to some extent to control the temptations from the senses. He said yoga is not just asanas (body postures) but is the goal of life for Indians which is self realization. Yoga is a natural trait for Indians, but unfortunately we have reached a stage where we had to import it from other countries. He commended the efforts of the Indian Government for promoting the principles of yoga to all humankind. Dr. C.P. Ramasesh, Executive Committee Member, MyLISA, Mysuru, welcomed the gathering and introduced the speaker. Dr. Sunil M.V., Joint Secretary, KALA, presented the vote of thanks. Sri. K.L. Basappa, Librarian, SJCE, Mysuru and members of the organizing institutions were present. This is for your kind information. With regards, Sunil M.V.
