This issue of the LIS Links Newsletter, edited by Siddhartha Shankar Ray, explores the dynamic transformation and transition of the Library and Information Science (LIS) profession within the Indian context. Addressing the evolution from traditional library services to modern knowledge resource management, the text highlights the rise of a new generation of knowledge industry professionals in India who are adept in state-of-the-art technologies and global trends. The newsletter serves as a critical platform to bridge the digital divide and knowledge gap between professionals at premier institutions (like IITs and IIMs) and those in remote or suburban areas. By focusing on the acquisition, organization, processing, and transmission of information, it aims to provide equal access to cyber media and professional expertise, ensuring that the skills of librarians across all sectors remain sharp and globally competitive.
