Mr. Byrappa has put up very nicely about the problems faced by LIS departments in their pursuit for providing good training to students. In our country, the problem is that we have a tendency not to take up a holistic view of the entire scenario. Mr. Vasanth Raj is right that there is no need of any special training for corporate librarianship (at least not as part of the syllabus). A person having sufficient knowledge of IT and good communication skills can well be fit to be a corporate librarian. The same applies to any library now-a-days, and we should not have an image of bespectacled dumb fellow as librarian of a public library. So the basic thing is personality development which again depends on individual teachers. Why LIS schools can't give stress on personality development in the way business schools do?
