Abstract

The pervasiveness of the emerging networking and communication technologies pushes the librarian into new roles and competencies. The quality of future professionals depends much on having an up-to-date curriculum. It needs to be so oriented that it is able to cope up with the rapidly changing needs. The present paper reviews the UGC Model Curriculum 2001. An attempt is made to compare the curriculum components with that offered in USA and Canada and identify the lacunae. Suggestions have been made for transformation of LIS curriculum in India.
