Reinvigorating Library and Information Science (LIS) Curriculum in a fast changing society

This paper discussed the need for reinvigorating Library and Information Science (LIS) curriculum in a fast changing society. Reinvigorating LIS curriculum is not only a necessity but mandatory if the prospective LIS graduates would be employers of labour rather than job seekers in a continuously fast changing society of the 21st century. To train LIS students in entrepreneurship requires the development of a comprehensive but dynamic curriculum that responds to changing needs in the field. The implementation of this curriculum will enable beneficiaries to be self-employed by carrying out such entrepreneurial activities like abstracting, indexing, publishing, database development and management, collection management, knowledge management, organization of knowledge, current awareness services, staff recruitment and development, conduct of researches, bibliographic and metadata searching, journals and book business, material conservation and preservation, generation of ideas, etcetera.Keywords: Curriculum, Information Science, Library science, Infoprenuership, professio
