Dear all
In fact, the view expressed by Prof.
Mangla has already been discussed by one of the senior most LIS teachers, Prof.
M. R. Riswadkar in a lecture at Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics,
Pune. However, personally I feel, the change of nomenclature may adversely
affect fundamental research on some basic LIS subjects like classification,
universe of subjects, information science etc. But in practice, exactly the same
is happening throughout the country, so I also feel that the name of the course
should be Library and Information Management (or Information and Library
Management) whatever it may be.
With regards
