Dear Dr.Anand Byrappa Thank you for your message. Indeed it's a critical topic to be discussed, deliberated, implemented successfully through a strategic plan of action to improve the present Librarianship and LIS education in India. Libraries are well prepared to handle situation like COVID 19 pandemic situation than any other service sector in the education field through OPAC, Remote Access, Virtual Reference, Digital Library, etc. but very few will acknowledge this type proactive initiative taken by the Library community; we must thank SRELS and Informatics, Prof. Shalini Urs for initiating the discussion on this contemporary issue. I hope this webinar will remain in the LIS community's memory in the long term delivered during the webinars' cyclone. Some actions will be taken by the Library Community to fill the knowledge gap between the demand and supply of LIS workforce in the country by considering the current digital era. With Regards Dr.Manju Naika Chief Library Officer Central Library,IIT Bombay Mumbai-400 076,India Dear All, Happy teachers day. Thanks to SRELS and Informatics for organising the following unique and much needed programme. It was wonderful to watch candid discussions between LIS practioners and teachers on the day of teachers day. It was very well conceived, planned, moderated and conducted by Prof. Shalini Urs, as always. It will be beneficial to the profession If we start similar discussion with LIS associations. In the context of New Education Policy 2020 and unexpected Pandemic situation. Getting together and working for strengthening the LIS profession is essential. We need many more good libraries and good LIS schools in the country to improve the professional image. Teachers, Practioners and associations ought to work together to reposition the LIS profession. It’s very critical to attract better students to the LIS schools. Delays in addressing transformation needs , Not fixing the gaps between teachers and practioners and ignoring low professional image/ perception may eventually Result in further dilution of the profession. If this happens, our generation is responsible for it! Again, Thanks to the organisers for the wonderful event. Thanks and Regards Anand Anand Byrappa Ph.D. Indian Institute of Science Bangalore 560012. India.

Greetings of Teacher’s 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.  A group of 12 Librarians as discussants will interact with a group of 4 LIS educators as panelists on this virtual forum, moderated by Prof. Shalini Urs, an eminent LIS Teacher.  This 2-hours dialogue (11am-1pm) is structured to enable LIS professionals to raise the issues and challenges they encounter, as questions/comments to the four eminent LIS teachers:
