WE NEED CHANGE LIS EDUCATION

[Anoop Kumar Bajpayi]

I THAINK WE HAVE TO START A TWO MONTH TRAINING PROGRAMME END OF THE COURSE ( liKE Blib. & Mlib) AND WE SHOULD ORGANISE SOME PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME TIME TO TIME.

[O. P. Saini !]

This is very difficult dear friend. It is not an easy task.... what do you thinks only two months trainning is sufficient for the LIS profssional ?
I dont think so. There is a fulfledged education system for every field or profeesion. As far as the Mlib and Blib are concerned their validity and applicability will definetly remain for ever, as the LIS field of study is having multi diamentional approaches and area of study.
So my dear friend please forget the idea of only two months training for LIS professional.
As far as this personality development is concerned this will will comes from the experience.

My dear friend Anoop many institutions give us the training programme of library professional work like Delhi Public Library, Delhi(3 months training programme ), NISCAIR, New Delhi (about 1 year traning programme ), NCSI Banglore (1 year traning programme) after B.LIB.
This is the right method to learn the library work that every institution/university should give the trainng after B.LIB.

Dear Sir,
Do you think the MLIS course should be of two years of which the last year should include practical training of three (or as experts will think sufficient) months in different institutes as in B. Ed or some other courses?
Do you think BLIS course (three years)should be started in Undergraduate level (i.e. in colleges as other undergraduate courses) or BLIS and MLIS should be integrated course of two/three years?
Recently DLIS, North Bengal University organised a convention on this topic and they want to introduce BLIS in the colleges under the university and also two years MLIS. But I think any changes of this kind should be started in uniformity all over the country. What is your oponion?
