Dear moderator Reading through the discussion on the issue of new nomenclature for the library profession, what I can collect is that there is a sense of unease and an undercurrent of dissatisfaction with the capabilities that we have generally developed in ourselves because of the current syllabus, the teaching method and peer practice. The pressure to learn and master the ICT techniques is making us nervous. Let's think that that whereas academicians & research scholars are the creator of knowledge, the IT people have expertise in repackaging & processing, we the librarian have the task cut out for dissemination of the processed knowledge. Allow me to submit that in view of the recently submitted Yashpal committee report, we have to gradually evolve a holistic approach to knowledge processing and dissemination.

After analysing the symtoms, if software produces prescription for the patient. I am sure no patient is going to believe that programmer as a Doctor and the programmer can not legally practice, may be, couple of patients can get cured from his suggested medicine. But, I am sure the programmer will make die the 99% patient. This is similar to the library field, if programmer can make very good intelligent library management software with the help of the library professionals, but he cannot be like a library professional forever. He needs to have a support of library professionals. Without the support, in every stage, I am sure he will do mess in the profession.
