Latest spurt in posting of vacant jobs on LIS forum
by bhawna vashishtha 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Dear Professionals, I would like to extend my thanks to all those participants for the latest spurt in posting of vacant jobs on LIS forum. But most of these are either for the library trainees or for the librarians. I myself is working on the middle level in hierarchy in this profession, and still waiting for the frequent email through this forum with suitable vacancy either for professional assistants or for the other suitable designations. It is still surprising to see that we have more openings coming up for librarians or assistant librarians, deputy librarians, in spite of more number of posts for the other designations. Does it mean that either rest of them is being filled up with the word of mouth recommendations or there is a shift in kind of human resource required in this profession? -- Bhanwa Vashishtha Central Library University of Delhi -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
