Selection criteria for interview choosen by CTUAP for Assistant Librarian post
by Tanmay Mondal 13 Dec '22

13 Dec '22

Publications have more importance than experience in selection of candidates for interview. The following message is given by Central Tribal University of Andhra Pradesh for selection of candidates for interview for Assistant Librarian post. "*Based on the prescribed eligibility criteria, and the candidates fulfilling the same and on the basis of the API Score, the top 15 candidates (maximum) have been shortlisted for interviews. Only shortlisted eligible candidates are being called for interview*..." If publications get more importance then post like deputy librarian, librarian will also be based on publications than many years of experience. There is no uniformity in selection criteria nowadays in various institutions. The experts in library domains need to frame a standard for this. Otherwise experience has no values in some organisations and those who only want to be good librarian will surely miss many opportunities in future.

Friends, OSTP will soon expect all research resulting from US Govt funding to be deposited in a repository. Writing on 'Decoding the OSTP Public Access Memo,' Rob Johnson, Director of Research Consulting, Nottingham, UK, has said, "the takeaway message for me was clear – the headline pathway to compliance with the new OSTP memo will be via deposit of an article in a repository. Don’t expect Uncle Sam to foot the bill for a gold rush" and "While publishers and librarians might have expected the two main ways to be the ‘gold’ (open access on the publisher platform) and ‘green’ (open or public access via a repository) pathways, in fact they corresponded to the two different versions of an article which can be deposited in a repository - the author accepted manuscript or the final published journal article." Please read: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/decoding-ostp-public-access-memo-rob-johnson/ . Hope at least now Indian scientists, universities, funding agencies and academies would act and not just keep talking about open access.
