It examines the problems, lacunae and quality control issues in the present LIS education system, which has led to rising unemployment or under-employment. The paper discusses the ‘employability’ of LIS students against a highly competitive job market impacted by the developments in information and communication technologies. A few corrective measures have been suggested to improve the quality and standard of LIS education in the present digital information world.
