To alert the LIUs about right material at right time and at right place
To help LIUs in navigation through digital resources
To help LIPs render value added CAS/SDI services and so on

9. Implications of all this for Faculty in LIS Schools
Apart from what is being taught to make them just ‘job’ ready (there too there is a big ?), what else can be taught to make them ‘life’ ready [again taking clues from other similar disciplines, like management, engineering, law, medicine, etc.]
If we embed/Integrate elements of AI, DT, IOT, BDA, CC, CT, CA, etc. in LIS Curriculum
