Implementation of new technologies to mechanize the various processes of the library will help the users utilize the resources efficiently.

CHECK POINTS FOR APPOINTMENT OF LIBRARIANS IN BIG LIBRARIES
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 17 May '10

17 May '10

Dear All, I would like to suggest some check point which should be followed before appointment of the Librarian especially in big and reputed Libraries. I will demonstrate it with example which are as follows: If your library is having more then 2 lakh of collection, more then 30 staff, more then 3 crore budget, more than 400 serials subscriptions, Online e-resources subscription, more than 2 thousand users etc. then my view is selecting authority/committee should follow the following check points during the selection process other wise i can say your library progress will decline and your library will collapse due to loss of peaceful/working environment of the Library. 1) Check whether the candidate is having experience of handling at least more than 1.5 lakh collection or not. 2) Check Whether is he/she knows how to enter Journals in kardex or software? 3) Check whether the candidate have written at least 20 articles for the Journals and conferences or not otherwise after selection He/She will force your staff to write article in His/Her Name and never promote for such activity. 4) Check whether he wants to prove himself/Herself as a good leader with an example not by force. 5) Check whether His/Her mental condition is fit or not with the help of psychologist. 6) Check whether He/She has handled more than 20 staff or not. 7) Check whether He/She has handled more than 2 crore of budget or not. 8) Check whether He/She is having experience of handling more than 300 Journals and e-resources. 9) Check whether He/She wants to work for the Library or wants to use the glamor of the post and misuse the facility and power given to Him/Her. 10) Check His/Her reputation/Contribution in Library profession. 11) At last you check his academic career and achievements. If above condition is not satisfied then my view is better to leave the post vacant because your junior staffs can better handle the library without any Librarian.
