Greetings of Teachers' Day celebrations to the LIS Teachers Community! LIS Education has been a constant subject of debate for long. While LIS education responds to the twin challenges of changing landscapes in the disciplinary domains and the marketplace of LIS practitioners, the practitioners’ community laments the mismatch. This is not unusual in any professional education system. The debates contribute to strengthening the LIS landscape leading to the learning collective. To celebrate Teachers’ Day on Saturday, the 5th September, Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS) and the Informatics Group, Bangalore are organizing an online DIALOGUE between LIS teachers and LIS practitioners.
