This paper examines the education and training of library and information science professionals in Pakistan to meet the evolving needs of the modern information landscape. Rapid advancements in technology, changing user expectations, and the digital revolution have necessitated a shift in the skills and competencies required by professionals in this field. The study explores the current state of library and information science education in Pakistan, including the curriculum, pedagogical approaches, and practical training opportunities. It also identifies the challenges and opportunities faced by Pakistani professionals in adapting to the modern information environment. The paper highlights the importance of incorporating emerging technologies, digital literacy, information management, and user-centered services into the education and training of library and information science professionals. By addressing these issues, Pakistan can equip its professionals to effectively serve the information needs of diverse user communities in the digital age. Instead of just dealing with the side effects, we can use Foot's concept of prudential morals to solve our problems quickly. In addition, a moral life inspires a moral society, which in turn establishes moral constitutional practices that guarantee comprehensive growth. PhilippaFoot's goodness adds to the development of a more prudent society. In today's society, virtue is a highly prized trait. This brings about social change. Social change is made possible by Foot's concept of virtue. This is because human instinct is the first step toward change, which then leads to human activity that has an overall impact on society.
