Hi everyone,
This mail that has come from T.B. Rajashekar has really made me think about
raising this query - Do we really have some good quality advance courses
for working library science professionals as well(other than offered by
NISCAIR). This course that NCSI is offering is about one and half year
duration(Information and Knowledge Management) and needs full time devotion
on learner's part. The contents of the course are quiet good and relevant
for working persons like me. I find that even after working for 10+ years,
I am interested to go for this training. The only barrier is that I am
full time working and settled in Delhi.
It is a general feeling amongst library professionals that after doing
Masters in LIS only you are left with M.Phil or Phd to upgrade your
knowledge or qualification, and going for such higher education is not that
easy for everyone. The point behind writing all this is that we should
think about organizing such good courses thru distance education program
for working professionals also.
If any one in the field has some information about such program that are
already available, Pl let me know. If bodies like NISSAT/NISCAIR/NCSI start
doing some positive move in this direction, I strongly believe that it is
really going to help professional like me who constantly on the look for
something new to learn, implement and create/add value to work.
