Unemployment is increasing among library Science students
by Chikkamanju Nayaka 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Respected Moderator please sent to the LISc Members *Unemployment is increasing among library Science students, why?*<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lislinks/~3/1gzExUbBJn4/2013205:Topic:538461…> Now a day’s Library Course are running in many Regular Universities, and Open Universities, many youths are taking admission to these course, Regular Universities take only eligible candidates through screening process ( Entrance/ interview etc.) and the seats are limited to 30-40 Only in each university. But Open Universities ( Distance Educational Institutions) in India are giving unlimited seats for each courses and giving them good percentage also). The distance education institutions are not allotting seats through screening process like entrance or interview. Few of them admit students twice in a year or any time they can enroll for the course in a year. The students qualified from distance education institutions are going for job for less salary jobs and many institutions pay very less salary because they need librarian just to show it to AICTE/ UGC etc. So they appoint students from distance mode of education and pay less. The quality of LISc education is diluted only because of Distance education institutions. My suggestion is that a Open Universities/ Distance education Institutions should limit the intake seats for each courses particularly professional courses like Library and Information Science. The quality of education in both regular and correspondence institutions should be upgraded by enforcing new updated topics in the syllabus. The LISc faculty members should keep phase with the changing technology and advance concepts. More Information Technology oriented concepts and today’s market needed topics should be included in the syllabus of LIS Curriculum. The students should also work hard to excel in the subject rather than blaming the profession. The Librarian should create his own positive identity in the working institution and make other aware the importance of Library profession in today’s world. The above mentioned tips can automatically solve unemployment problem. These are my personnel suggestions only. Thanking you, With Warm regards Chikkamanju MLISc., M.Phil., UGC-SET.
