Dear Friends,

Here is one of the best topic where we should debate and derive a solution in the interest of our profession. We need to introspect in ourselves and trace the reason for the downfall trend of LIS profession and professionals.Let each one of us list out the reasons and the Associations like IALA will list them out, consolidate and bring on the right platforms for corrective measures.

I request all of you to respond to this mail.
Thanks,
Konnur.
