Dear Professional,
Don't we feel the syllabus of MLISc, and even the topics on which your privileged Universities are undertaking research in LIS are so old and outdated. Except few topics which are to be integral part of Library professional's, ( like classification and cataloguing). Others are of very less use, Even though they are suitable for Indian environment and Infrastructure facilities.
The student's like us are not exposed to current technology and trends, we are studying the same old subjects, what your teachers have studied in their years of study and research… Its like running a old horse in race and betting to win.
So lets determine yourself to update your knowledge, skills and techniques of developing profession .. Hence I have made an attempt to bring some topics, which are to be studied by an information professional. This are based on the syllabus of Master of Science in Information from School of Information in Michigan US.
*Borad topics
* Archives and Records Management (ARM)
Community Informatics (CI)
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
Incentive-Centered Design (ICD)
Information Analysis and Retrieval(IAR)
Information Policy (IP)
Library and Information Services(LIS)
School Library Media Certification
Preservation of Information (PI)
Social Computing (SC)
They all will include the following topics specific topics on which current research can be conducted for, Application and implementation for professional development. I am interested in preparing notes on these topics , so you all can help to contribute for our profession's future students.
