Need & Scope
The field of Library and Information Science (LIS) is continually evolving due to the rapid growth of knowledge and advancements in technology. As a result, the skills gained through LIS education may not always meet the complex and changing needs of the profession. The dynamic nature of the LIS field often requires support from experts with specialised knowledge. Many LIS professionals and consultants are well-equipped to assist libraries and LIS professionals. The Organisation of Library Consultants (OLC) aims to bridge the gap between these experts and the institutions or individuals who need their services. By bringing together consultants and service providers with diverse expertise, OLC offers a centralised platform where libraries and LIS professionals can easily identify and connect with the appropriate support
Disclaimer
Consultants affiliated with OLC independently offer their services based on their individual capacities. OLC cannot be held responsible for any issues that may arise in relation to the consultation and services provided by the members to their clients.
