Like other developing countries, studies conducted in Pakistan do not show the healthy picture of LIS profession. In
Pakistan, even all libraries are not fully automated. Internet service for users is being provided in University libraries
but in public and college libraries the provision of Internet service is not encouraging. Haider (2003) found that the
present library scenario in Pakistan is not so impressive and is suffering from inadequate funds and lack of
bibliographic resources in the country. It was suggested that in order to meet new challenges, library schools are
needed to improve the quality of their teaching staff and revise the curricula as well. The amount of research by
library professionals into their own discipline is simply inadequate. Mohammad Asghar (1992) listed some main
problems as the lack of opportunities for proper training, appropriate guidance, availability and access to information
sources, financial assistance and sponsorship, encouragement, publication or dissemination of research findings, and
personal interest and initiative. As Khalid, Hafiz (1997) states, the library staff is an area of weakness in Pakistan;
there are several causes of this problem in Pakistan such as the faulty system of selection, lack of training, poor
librarian’s status, etc.
