Abstract :

This paper refers to the Library jobs and essential skills required for LIS professionals in job market in India. Analyzing market needs through scanning of Library job advertisements published in ‘Employment News’, ‘University News’ and advertised on websites as accessed to identify the trends of occurring in the LIS job market. We have noticed that most of the job advertised on websites during the study. Most of the vacancies advertised for special libraries by the employer. The study reveals that most of the posts were on permanent basis and most of the vacancies have no new job title but some of jobs have found new job titles. We can change whole LIS education scenario to make it according to qualifications, skills and competencies desired in the current job market.
