Dr Ramesh Gaur, Vice President of IASLIC Zone 6 invites all concern in Librarians Day 2014 (IASLIC Zone 6) , a daylong seminar on August
12, 2014 in collaboration with Indian Association of Special Libraries and Information Centres ( IASLIC) & Association of Media Libraries and
Archives(AMLA) with suppport from Informatics India. We all are well aware
that the profession of Library science is at the crossroads. We have to
march forward in the right directions.
The profession is afflicted with many problems. For instance, numerous
positions in Librarians, across the country remain vacant for various
reasons. At times for want of suitable candidates with requisite
qualifications, while at others due to indifference and reluctance of the
authorities to fill them.
Furthermore, there are anomalies in the status, pay structure of Library
cadres across the country. A proliferation of Library Science programmes
through distance mode has enhanced the supply of Library professionals. The
supplies (young graduates) are not competent enough to cater to the demands
and expectations of the market.
In keeping with the changing times, the LIS curriculum needs to be over
handed and revised Internship should be made a compulsory component of the
curriculum. The recommendations of National Knowledge Commission have not
been implemented.
The daylong seminar will provide a forum to raise such issues and deliberate
upon their tentative solutions.
Much will depends upon the dynamic leadership of Library associations across
the country, we all have to work unitedly in order to take our metier with
evangelistic zeal, more ahead and scale heights.
There is no registration fee however 200 delegates shall be accommodated on
first registered and first served bases.
Dr Gaur solicits cooperation of all my professional colleagues and request them who
are at the helm of the affairs of various association to participate in the
remain. It is proposed that a document shall be prepared and submitted to
the new Government to approved it of the issues and challenges faced by the
Library profession in India ” Ache Din Aane Wale Hain” .
