Thanks, to all the concerned professionals that the term
"DOOMSDAY" had evoked such huge responses. I originally coined
this in my message given below. Now all of us needs to think about it
seriously and chalk out the remedies.
1. I think first of all
we need to debate among ourselves whether Librarianship is a Profession or
not.
2. Can't we spare one or two National Level Conferences to be
devoted on this issue rather then concentrating on the issues relating to
use of technology...bla bla.
3. Why are the National level LIS
Professional bodies are mute to such important issues.
4. Isn't it
the time that we should abandon "Chalta Hei" attitude and take
up these matters seriously.
5. Can any one suggest name of a Fatherly
figure like Ranganathan to whom we can look up proper guidance.
Thanks.
With Regards
Dr. Niraj Barua

Subject: [LIS-Forum] !!DOOMSDAY!!! nearing for our Profession (if we
sleep now) Message-ID: <4919f7c5272688e791512349cfc7aa08.squirrel@webmail.iitg.ernet.in>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Dear fellow
Professionals and respected one its a very sad development that the
DOOMSDAY for the Library Professionals is nearing in general and in
particular in our country. See the link below about vacancy for Library
cum informatics Officer in a Central Govt autonomous institution. We
should raise our voice unitedly against such unjustful strategies from
the policy makers. Our professional qualification limits our job scope to
only the Libraries, but Computer professionals have far more avenues to
try for a job. Why are some of the people desperate to throttle our
profession for benefit of some so called elites? Please raise your voice,
share your concern otherwise the coming generation of our profession (if
survives) will blame the present lot. http://www.nabi.res.in/Vacancies/Permanent/NABI3(2)2012-Rectt/DetailofAdvt.p...
