Dear All,
I don't think there is any thing new about adding a paper in
specialized areas. I still remember, We had a paper in our MLIS
(1986-87, PU Chandigarh), where we had studied "Social Sciences" as
such including it's philosophers and their works.
I can not forget it!!! Coming form 'Science' stream - the things were
quite alien to me. But I enjoyed it and still boast of my knowledge in
these disciplines.
So, I think the options for specialization might still available at
Master's level.
The problem in this particular case [ asking a candidate to draw
"Benzim" structure] is with the employer. They do not know what to
look for in an Information Professional.

Dear Professionals,
I fully agree with Rajesh. We need specialized courses to make specialized Librarians. That is the need of the hour. Adding elective modules (papers) about resources and systems in Law, Medicine, Sciences and all specialized subjects in 4th Semester is absolutely a good suggestion. Off course, our library schools should involve practicing Librarians in these specialized courses.
