Abstract
Indian library professionals are faced with a plethora of challenges in the documentation and communication of indigenous knowledge and apart from this they are also facing problems in their day to day conversation with students and staff. These include the technology shortages, physical barriers, linguistic barriers, time management, stress management and the lack of legal frameworks at national and international level to support the library efforts to document and communicate indigenous knowledge. The paper discusses these challenges, looking at some of the lessons learnt and the ways to overcome them.
