[Dr. Muzamil Mushtaq]

Is our subject  at P.G level revealing the same potential as that of the other subjects studied at the Universities of india.Does, it grabs the same grounds as others.

[Mamta Verma]

Of course, it is. Library Science as a profession is gaining importance. Though individuals were not very much aware about the existence of such discipline earlier, but today the Library Science is emerging as a very strong professional course. Examples are the no. of universities offering the library science courses are increasing day by day. Library Science personnel are engaged as working librarians, teachers, information scientists and research scholars as well. They are carrying forward the profession.

[Dr. Muzamil Mushtaq]

Why not at the root level(Schools and colleges), atleast some certificate or diploma courses,why only in universities.

[Dr Mohammad Ishaq Lone]

Actually our subject still need boost at the college and higher secondary level so that each knowledge gaining person comes to know what this subject is all about.
