Dear Sir/Madam, Information and Communicatin technologies(ICTs) have affected the library and information science and the profession emmensly.Today we have to implement and practice the habit of uising new technologies in capturing , storage and organising informatiom.Yes the benefit of ICT in capturing and dessimination customer.These are all disscused over the years and we have been trying to adopt/adapt to the present web scenario.And most of the Educational and research Instititution have automated their libraries and they have their own digital library to satisify their internal and external clientele. But at the same time the penetration of IT into the library proffession has slowly creating a gap within LISC profession.Today we have all witnessed that plenty of discussion, seminars, conferences are taking place all over the world to modify and train the library profession ,eventhough the gap seems to be widen over the years. The employment structure of library profession is very diffe! rent one comapre to other profession.Libraries are the house of knowledge ,to capture, organise and to dessiminate information skilled library professionals are very much required there is no doubt it. Educational institutions , corporate firms and other organisations have providing enormous opportunities for Library and Information graduates.But the thing is, if once we get into the job as a school librarian or college librarian it is very difficult to keep up abreast with new developments ,the lack of infrastructure, willingness of librarians, lack of mangement support and all plays a crucial role to keep abreast with new developmets, today high proportion rate of schools and colleges have not provide any facility to librarians to learn and perform his work using new technologies.And most of the seminars and conferences are all centered to corporate and well known institutions not for school are college librarians. this is slowly creating a huge problem that is Librarians di! vide.Today we have to address this issue and carry the LIS profession to more hiegts with providing equal opportunity to everyone.
