Dear Friends, This is an age old debate!! - What is more important? Information Professionals recognized for their expertise in their own domain without depending upon any other special education (Arts, Science, Social Science) background. - Or do we need professionals from other domains having working knowledge of Information Science?. I would prefer the first one - Professionals not at mercy of other domains. I have been suggesting the following model time and again. It consists of three encapsulating cores. 1 - CORE - having the essential LIS philosophy, theory, Tools and Best Practices. 2 - MIDDLE CORE - comprising of Information Technologies (All ICE Technologies) that boosts the effectiveness of the CORE (1). 3 - INTERFACE CORE - This is the face that is perceived by Prospective Employers. It takes the feedback from the job market, adjusts the MIDDLE Core to satisfy the Employers' requirements. Regarding a particular university syllabus, I am not going to defend anybody nor I would like to attack anybody personally. Would only request everybody to avoid being personal. If someone feels that he or she knows better - then please ignore this little mortal. --Regards Sukhdev Singh, NIC. On Nov 27, 2007 1:53 PM, Rajesh Rangappa <deepakdeepa89@gmail.com> wrote: ....
