Disscussion on Lis links

[Jayshree Dave]

As you seen now a days many of disscussion is added on the link which is not related with the Library and information science. Why the people add this type of disscussion on lis links.This site is for library professionals what are need to disscuss the matter which is not related with the Library science ?

[Mrs.K Kavita Rao]

Dear Madam,
though some topics are not related to library & information science,no matter.All the subjects are interrelated to one other and are different branches of knowledge.As librarians we need to know many things,the more we know,the better professionals we are.we use computer technology as a part of our daily life whether we r at work,or in personal life-we also use telecommunications(ex:mobile).Even though few discussions are not related to library & information science let all the members get an opportunity to clarify their doubts with others.There is no problem at all.Even our general knowledge about other aspects,subjects & terms will increase.Hope you do agree with my opinion.

Dear Ms Dave,

   

                 In a way you are right. LIS Links is a site for Library professionals. But as our profession demands us to be the solution provider for any kind of information need, we may discuss anything apart from Library Science which we may find worth discussing.

 

                       But I personally feel one should not just only discuss for the sake of it. If one comes across some new concept or term, it should be asked or discussed in its proper context. To discuss something in its proper context one should write few lines about the source where one has come through theat concept or term.

 

                More over while replying to we should try to give some relevant references or resources ( if we could ) for the benifit of the whole group.

Dear Gautam ji

I am totally agreed with your view point. As I also observed from many discussions on lislink, our beloved LIS professionals only write even a single word. And for reply, actually we have to provide our view point (not only copy paste) with references.

 

As far as type of discussions, here sud be related to only LIS and computer science (it sud be also restricted to related LIS). I am agree we can discussed here some gereral topic which can be useful for LIS professionals' improving GK.

 

Thanks

Mr. Bahl,

I m agreed with your point of view as  a  Library professional we have the knowledge of all the subject.

As a librarian we deal with all the branches of the universe of knowledge but my point is that the term which is added in disscussion is relates with is subject.
