Dear All,
Greetings.
The recent promotion of Dr. Ravi B. the Dy. Librarian, Central University
of Hyderabad to the post of Librarian (University Librarian) under UGC-CAS
has put all speculations surrounding the issue to rest .
This is the first such promotion in the history of university libraries in
India, I believe. With this breakthrough promotion, now a university can
have more than one Librarian at Professor's Grade.
Till the time, the administrators in many universities were reluctant to
promote the eligible Deputy Librarians to the the post of Librarian
in-spite of having the crystal clear guidelines (of UGC) in this regard.
I congratulate Dr. Ravi for his promotion and the authorities of the
Central University of Hyderabad for this historic decision. I hope the
other universities will follow suit.
Now the question is : who will lead the library when there are more than
one post of Librarian at place? Whether the role of leadership will be on
rotation basis or the present leadership (Librarian) continues to lead the
team with different designation such as 'Director' as practiced in few
prominent universities in Maharashtra.
I would love to hear your thoughts.
With regards,
*Anand Dodamani*
