Future of LIS Professionals in India, Part-I

1. The Situation of LIS Profession in India is not very good and it is not popular like other profession such as engineering, IT, Management etc. Today we are living in 21st century which is based on knowledge society and ICT Era and Librarian or Library Professional is playing very crucial role as a mediator between knowledge and society and disseminating the information to our society. Somehow library professionals are contributing towards National Development by providing knowledge to several kind of users like students, teachers, common man etc. and literacy rate is being increase day by day. Even its professions is not recognised, support and encouraged by our nation/government like in other developed countries such as USA, England, Australia etc.

2. We LIS professionals peoples are also responsible for its situation. As I feel that only few peoples came in this profession by their interest, aim and objectives. Mostly people which are already working in LIS Organisations/Institutions and who didnot got the admission in other professions join this profession as a carrier, which is not only right for them even LIS  profession also.

3. We must take the initiatives towards development of our profession by showing our dedication, State Legislations/Act should be passed, National Organisation (such as ILA)should be work properly. ILA, IASLIC and some other agencies must take the initiatives towards development of LIS profession in India like ALA playing crucial role in USA.
