A lot is expected from Librarians and why not, the profession is such (if we believe), but are we living up to their (our users/readers), or even our own expectations? A BIG question.Please read the following email from Mr. Jayantbhai Meghani, a highly learned multi faceted literate to Ms. Pragnyaben Pathak, Librarian at IPR Gandhinagar.(used with permission)"Dear Pragnyabahen, Nice to have a few

Are we Librarians taken seriously? Most of us would say NO. But why? What are the reasons? There are claims by the Library Professionals (at least in the listservs) to be at par with the other professionals, but deep within ourselves we know the reality. Its hard but its true.For example, a decent job at par with other profession, an LIS professional must have double masters degree, i.e., an

Hope you have read the story "Best Careers 2009: Librarian" by Marty Nemko in U.S. News and World Report (Read). Very encouraging, isn't it? Do we have a similar kind of report in India which would rate Librarianship as a Hot Career Option in India? Probably NO.The Librarian across the Globe almost has a similar "Day in the Life", and they are energetic, helpful, tech-savvy, information sleuths,

In our last posting we had an opinion poll asking to vote for a desired topic for Librarians' Day 2009. After more than 200 visits to this blog, there are only negligible votes to count. Don't know why? Does anyone know? There could be many reasons:-we are not serious about this-we are very busy-it does not matter to us-we don't really care-fear of getting noticed -let them (ADINET) decide-still

August 2009 is just eleven months away (time flies, isn't it) and we need to start thinking about the "Theme" of seminar. What would be an Ideal Theme?Quite obviously, the first thing that comes to our mind is, any latest topic or issue(s) in the field of library and information science.Things are changing so fast that catching them is becoming really tough, for example, we have just started
