Dear Prof. Khaiser Jahan Begam, The question that you have raised about the grouping of our decipline (LIS) in a university set up is quite interesting. Also, the fact that the library professionals who are known primarily for their organising skills, are still struggling to classify their own subject (LIS) in the universe of knowledge, is equally interesting. As we all know, the LIS is a multidisciplinary subject that derives theories, concepts, methods and tools from various other disciplines to organise the knowledge properly. We extensively use the 'technology' to make our work of organising the knowlege systematically and to provide an easy and quick access to it for the benefit of our users. But, the extensive use of technology cannot be a ground to place the LIS under the ' Faculty of Technology'. We always use scientific methods to study the information needs of our users and adopt scientific approach to organise and manage the collection of information resources. But this will not support our decision to place the LIS under the ' Faculty of Science'. The ultimate aim of our profession is to provide right information to the right person at the right time in order to help him contribute to the development of the society. Hence, the only 'right' place to categorise the LIS would be the 'Faculty of Social Sciences' . A majority of the universities have already done this. These are my personal views.
