[Dr. Tarvinder Singh Handa]

A future librarian would be required to be equipped with latest arms of ICT in order to establish his/her competency in the job market. What else do you think would be required in this part??? Please discuss and add your suggestions.

[Dr. Partha Pratim Ray]

Positive attitude towards service. A library/information centre may not provide adequate service with all its resources( human,document etc) if library professionals lacks positive attitude towards service. Librarian must have good communication skills and voracius reader besides other human qualities. ICT is a means to an end not an end itself to provide service....
